Chapter 5

Niall's POV

Days had passed since that weird date thing and somehow all of us boys ended up asking those girls to the dance. I wasn't too happy about it because that ment Zayn would be with some other girl all night. That would also mean I'm going to be ignored by him and that means I'll have to try entertaining this other girl that I just don't like at all. I don't like that she texts me all the damn time, I don't like that she asks me to hang out with her after school, but mostly I hate how she's always touching me. It's just disgusting and makes my skin crawl.

But, because I have to keep up this wonderful act of liking her or wanting to be with her, that lead me to going to Madison's house to take her to the school dance. All the boys helped me make a cute sign to ask her to the dance and of course she said yes. Liam asked Sophia to the dance by just giving her flowers and asking her, so he had a date. Then there's the way Zayn asked Perrie. He snuck to her house in the middle of the night, they hooked up then he asked her to the dance. That story alone made me ignore my best friend for two days straight. He didn't notice though. Then again, no one ever notices anything.

I had on some nice black pants and a black button up. Madison was wearing a blue and black dress so I also put on a light blue tie. I felt so awkward in what I was wearing because I knew Zayn would be dressed nicely and that would cause Perrie to strip off his clothes in and minute, where for me, I'm sure I looked really bad dressed nicely.

Her front door opened to her dad standing there looking at me like he already hated me. I gave him a smile, but my hands begin to sweat under the man's look he was giving me. Men in general intimidated me so now with this man purposely doing it, it made me want to throw up and go home to cry my eyes out.

"Is Madison ready, sir?" I asked him quietly and meekly. After I spoke, he seemed to have a change in heart about me and his whole body softened and that cold look warmed up. He invited me into their home just as Madison made her way down the stairs.

She had her long brown hair pinned up in a messy bun. Her make up was subtle, but it was dark and dramatic at the same time. Her dress made her thin yet curvy frame more visible. I went over and helped her off the last step and looked over her one more time. Unfortunately I knew that I should be thinking that I would nothing more than to snog her and touch her, but I just thought she looked pretty but I did nothing for me.

"You look beautiful." I whispered to her politely, making her blush. Her parents started taking a few pictures of us before I lead her out to my car. Well, it was Chris' car because I didn't have my own car, but he let me borrow it for the night. I hated that he let me borrow it though.

As we drove to the dance, we both kept light conversation. She told me I looked nice, but I felt like she was probably obligated to tell me that. I just wanted this night to be over, but I was also worried about the whole dance that would involve such close contact with her. I didn't like dancing in general, but with a girl it's even worse.

"This is going to be so much fun." Madison said, trying to get me excited. I smiled at her and pulled into the schools car park. After we both parked I went over to her side to open the door for her. She tried thanking me with a kiss, but I turned my head to the side so she could kiss my cheek instead. I gave her a weak smile, then got her hand in mine to guide her to the school building that was slowly filling with people.

The second we walked into the gymnasium, I couldn't help but look for Zayn. I figured he'd already be here because I was really late. Madison giggled and pulled me to the dance floor full of sloppy grinding teenagers. I rolled my eyes and looked around once more before I was pulled into the crowd of people. Surprisingly, Madison found Sophia and Liam in there. I immediately went to Liam in hopes he could help me to get out of this situation.
