Lucy's Pov

After seeing what I saw at the shopping center last weekend I felt pathetic. Honestly I'm so dumb for still obsessing over him, he's obviously moved on and maybe I should too.

I also felt kind of bad because I snapped at Jake when he kept asking me if I was ok. I'm glad they care it's just gets a bit annoying that everytime Niall is in the room they all seem to ask me every second if I'm ok.

"Ms. Tomlinson do you know the answer yes or no? " My English teacher snapped me out of my thoughts.

"N-no? " I said my voice sounding unsure. The class let out small laughs and I could feel myself blush.

"Please try to pay attention Tomlinson." She pleaded. I nodded in response as I looked around the class and saw Zoe looking over my way. I immediately turned away to avoid her questioning.

Twenty minute's after that really awkward situation the bell rang to dismiss us. I immediately made my way out of the room to avoid Zoe. I walked at a quick pace to get my books from my locker to head to my next class.

I quickly tried to put my combination in before any of my mates saw me.

"Hey cupcake." I knew who it was by that nickname. I rolled my eyes before replying.

"Don't call me that. " I said slamming my locker shut and walking to class. I hoped that he would stop following me but unfortunately that didn't happen.
"Why not I used to call you that all the time. " He chuckled

"Yeah and if you remember the slightest thing about me you would know I didn't like it. " I said in one breath. It stayed quite for a bit before I added something under my breath.

"why don't you go call that blonde girl that huh? " I mumbled.

"What?" Niall said, immediately.

"Huh? " I tried to act as if I hadn't said anything.

"Are you jealous?" He laughed. So it's that funny huh? Alright.

"I really have nothing to be jealous of." I shrugged.

"Last time I checked we weren't dating so no not jealous " I stated matter-of-factly. That shut him up. He let out an awkward laugh before speaking.

"Well if you happen to care the slightest bit." he reworded my word's from earlier.

"She's my cousin" he finished off.

"What? " I bluntly asked.

"Yeah that blonde girl you saw me with she's my cousin, she came in to celebrate Greg's birthday." He informed me. Ok now I feel dumb, I felt myself blush from embarrassment.

"Um I don't really need an explanation Niall. " I looked over at him.

"I know cupcake, just don't want you thinking something that's not right. " He shrugged.

"Don't call me that. " I sighed.

"I'll see you around cupcake." He smirked before walking the other direction. I rolled my eyes at him and walked into my next class.

"You're late Ms. Tomlinson." My art teacher glared at me. I guess I didn't keep time whilst talking to Niall.

"I was in the loo. " I blurted out. Mr. Matthew looked at me with a weird look on his face before starting to laugh.

"Sit down kid. " He pointed to my seat.

"Alright today you're drawing whatever comes to your mind, whatever you're feeling, anything. You'll have the entire class period. " He informed us.

I began to draw whatever came to mind like he said, and before I knew it the entire class was already heading out the door.

"Not again. " I mumbled to myself. I saw someone's hand pick up my drawing as I put up my art pencils, and when I looked up I was bit surprised to see who it was.

"I see you're still great at drawing." Niall said looking over my drawing.

I cleared my throat before thanking him.

"What is it?" He asked. I felt uncomfortable talking about this with him. I grabbed it off of his hands and picked up muy guitar case since that was my next class.

"Why were you in there? " I asked trying to change the subject.

"Saw you in there and we both have guitar next so I thought we could walk together" He shrugged. I didn't say anything in response.

"You didn't answer me. " He said pointing at my drawing.

I sighed thinking of the easiest way to explain it to him.

"Right so the girl looks like she's walking away from the crowd because she doesn't like being surrounded by people she doesn't really know, she would much rather be with the people she's comfortable with. " I started.

"Everything that's drawn around her is what's going on in her head, like it follows her everywhere." I continued.

"It sounds depressing, but it's really not." I laughed. It really wasn't at all depressing, one of the thing's surrounding her was a piece of pizza and other kinds of food.

He stayed quite for a moment looking over my picture.

"Is the girl supposed to represent you? " He asked. I nodded slowly as he looked over at me.

"Is the broken heart that's surrounding her supposed to represent u-us? " He asked as if he were afraid to know the answer. I looked down at the drawing debating in my head what to answer.

"Hey Lucy. " A third voice greeted me. I turned around and noticed Dylan running our way.

"Hey Dylan." I hugged him, mainly because he just saved me from Niall's question. I could feel Niall's strong stare on us and that's when I decided to let go of Dylan.

They greeted each other as we all walked together to class.
