Teenage Dirtbag (A Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chemicals React.

I raced down the corridor as the bell rang. I bolted through the Science Lab just as Mr. Bruce called out the attendance list.

Every seat was taken except for one in the very back of the room. I walked down the isle with my head down and towards the empty chair.

The desk was in front of me. All I had to do was sit down, but something stopped me.

Not just something, someone. Someone I knew by heart.

"Niall." Mr. Bruce's voice echoed in my ears.

"Here." I raised my head to meet Niall's glance.

"Someone's sitting there." Niall hissed, throwing his bag on the seat so I couldn't sit next to him.

"Josie." Mr. Bruce called my name. I nodded my head and turned toward him.

"Here." My bag slouched on my back as I spoke softly.

"Josie, please take a seat! I have a class to teach and if you take anymore of my time you are going to have detention."

I heard a snicker come from Niall's mouth after Mr. Bruce had finished yelling at me.

"Horan! Give her the seat!" Niall stopped laughing, his face turning red while he rolled eyes, finally letting me sit after the argument grew and the voices raised.

I grabbed my Science book, Mr. Bruce's voice echoing from the front of the classroom.

"We'll be doing a lab today. I will be picking the partners. Alex and Sam. Rachel and Harry. Joe and Ian. Josie and...." He scanned the room with a grin plastered on his face.

"Niall." I turned to look at Niall. He looked angry, upset. I could tell he wanted to switch partners.

He stared at me and narrowed his eyebrows. I wanted to be his partner as much as he wanted to be mine.

Why was he acting like this? He isn't being the Niall I know and love. He's acting childish.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I whispered to him, putting on my lab googles.

"You tell me. Or should I tell you? Hmm..your boyfriend is an asshole." I rolled my eyes.

"Haha. Very funny. Seriously, what is happening to you. Your being a dic-"

Niall shot me a glare. "I'm not a dick. Matty is. Go talk to him, because for now, I don't want to know you. You're turning my life upside down."

My mouth gawked open. "What? That's it? Talk to Matty?" I felt sick.

"Yep." Niall said popping the "p" in his sentence.

-

"Add a drop of baking soda to your chemicals." I threw in a pinch of baking soda.

Niall mixed the chemicals, they began to bubble and react.

We didn't even dare to look up at each other. We only shot small glances at each other when we needed to.

I looked up to see Matty at the door, his eyes glaring at Niall. He motioned for me to go see him.

"Mr. Bruce, may I go to the bathroom?" I asked while raising my hand.

"Take the pass." He pointed to the hall pass. I took it in my hands and headed out the door, turning to see Niall watching me go.

He caught Matty's eyes as I gripped onto Matty's hand. I turned the corner with him next to me as I began to walk to the bathroom. Matty stopped me in my tracks.

"We need to talk. Niall is lying to you. He isn't the guy you think he is.." He trailed off, looking down the hall to see if anyone was watching us.

"Don't believe a word he tells you." I rolled my eyes at his statement.

"Matty what the hell is happening between you and Niall?" Matty cut me off but wrapping his arms around my waist and pressing his lips to mine.

"Just don't listen to Niall." He whispered and moved his hand down my back, going to grip onto me, but I pushed him away.

"No. Niall's my best friend." I crossed my arms over my chest and stared up at Matty. His green eyes shifted as I barked at him.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me." He stared at me for seconds before speaking.

"I have to get back to class. I'll see you at lunch." He kissed me on the cheek and paced down the hallway, looking back at me with his shinny white smile, his dimples peeking out from his cheeks.

I stood in the corridor. All I wanted was an answer.

An answer from someone. Anyone.

Obviously I had to get the answers myself. Detective Josie on the case.

Detective Josie? HaHa. I don't know..

If they don't give me the answers, I'll have to find out myself.
