You and Me (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Life really hasn't been going so well for me lately. The story is that I'm a sixteen year old girl finishing up my sophomore year in high school. I have a group of friends who I rarely hang out with at school. I go with them mostly so I'm not alone all the time cause that's how I am out side of school. Alone. I live with my mom in an average sized home. Not too big and not too small, just..normal. My dad left me and my mom when I was around 6 or 7 so we were left to live in our own. I didn't have that father figure around to help me ride my bike, take me fishing, or go camping. I honestly didn't have the best childhood in the world. Don't get me wrong, my mom did everything she could to help give me a good life, but we faced financial problems. She was always busy trying to get a paycheck to pay the bills. So I basically didn't have a mother figure either. I grew up on my own. I taught my self how to ride a bike. Even though I still have some bruises from all the falling. I tried using make up with out guidance, although it took me a while to get it right. I learned how to cook, clean, and care for myself since that was all I could do while I was alone. Something good about this situation is that I know that I am independent so I don't need to worry about someone else taking care of me. Not that anyone cared.

Nicole's Pov:

The first thing I hear in morning is the sound of my alarm clock taking me away from my peaceful sleep. I groaned at the thought of going back to school. We have been on spring break for two weeks and today was our first day back. "Only two months left of torture." I thought to myself. When I finally have the energy I need, I get out of bed and begin my daily morning routine. I jump into the shower then pick out an outfit to wear. As soon as I am ready, I head downstairs for breakfast. Most people wake up to the smell of eggs and bacon, or pancakes freshly cooked by their loving parents. But for me, i just had a bowl of cereal, or whatever else I could find in the kitchen beacause my mom was always out working. I didn't really feel hungry so i just made myself some coffee and headed out to my car. I was happy that I could drive. I got my liscense 3 months ago so getting around to places was much easier on my own. Once I arrived at school I headed straight to class because I did not feel like talking to anyone. I was rather moody during the early mornings of high school.

"Alright class, please take your seats as we begin the lesson for today."

Seriously. We step into class and we already have to learn something? I hate being here. Math was always the worst, espeacially to have it be the first class of the day. When class was over, it was time for nutrition break. I did what i normally did and began walking to the bench me and my friend Ericka always hung around. Ericka was my best friend. We were inseperable and closer than me and my mom would ever be. As I turned a corner taking a sip of my coffee, I was completely unaware of someone else coming my direction. Our bodies collided, causing my coffee to spill all over me.

"Fuck!" was the first thing that came out of my mouth as i stared at my soaked shirt.

"I'm so sorry love." Was the first thing I heard from what I realized was a boy whom I have never seen before. He had beautiful golden brown hair and gleaming blue eyes. I hadn't realized I was staring until I heard him slightly laugh and form a grin.

"Let me help yah clean this off." He offered. I could tell he wasn't from here. He had an obvious Irish accent which added to his cuteness. I couldn't lie to myself. He was handsome, so handsome that I was at a loss for words and just followed him to one of the science classes in which there were sinks. He grabs some paper towls and placed them under the sink to dampen. He then turned to face me again.

"May I?"

"Um, yeah go ahead." I blush

He grips the bottom of my shirt pulling me a bit closer to him as he begins to dab the stains away. "I've never seen you around here before, or not since the day I started going here."
