Bullied

Chapter 9

~Jayden~
It's Monday. I hate Monday's. But the bright side is its my birthday on Friday and Niall is coming over. As I walk into school I feel a feeling I haven't felt in a while. Happiness. I feel as if nothing can hurt me. Next thing I know I get pushed into a wall.

"Hey bitch! Long time no see." Mackenzie says walking backwards and her "minions" giggling behind her. I walk over to my locker and open it. I take Niall's jacket from my bag and put it in there. Then I close my locker to see Niall behind it smirking.

"Hey." I say

"Hello" he says back

" I believe you have something of mine?" Niall says referring to his jacket. I nod my head and take it out of my locker and give it to him. He smiles and puts it on.

"Niall! Come here man." I hear someone yell. It was Trevor

"Text you later." He smirks and walks away toward Trevor and his friends. I close my locker and head to my class. Niall said he made plans to go off campus to eat lunch somewhere and wanted me to come. He said he wanted it to be a surprise. I am just excited to be with him alone. I found my new best friend. One who won't leave me...

~Lunch~

I get out of science and head to my locker to drop off my bag. As I open my locker a note falls out of it. It reads,

I know you are talking to him... I can expose him like that... wanna keep this you and him thing a secret? Stop flirting with him. He doesn't like you...

I stare at the note. Someone knows about us. This isn't good. I put the note back in my locker and head to be front. I look around and I can't find Niall anywhere. Then suddenly a pair of arms hugs me from behind and picks me up. I scream so loud and the person turns me around and covers my mouth. He takes off his hoodie and I see those blue eyes I admire so much.

"Niall you scared the crap out of me!"

" I am sorry my secret best friend. I just wanted to surprise you on your birthday!"

"My birthday isn't til Friday Niall." I say giggling. He laughs

"I know that silly. I am celebrating your birthday all week long. Today your lunch is your first surprise of the week. And Friday I got something big planned for you." Niall says while taking my hand and head to his car.

"Where are you taking me?" I say as I get in his car.

"Your favorite restaurant of course."

"We are going to P.F Changs! How did you know it was my favorite?"

"Well before I left your house I asked your mom." I laugh and we leave the parking lot. The restruant is fifteen minutes away from school so the ride isn't that long. Once we get there Niall quickly gets out of the car and runs to my side to open the door for me.

"You are such a gentlemen Niall." I say and he blushs. We walk to the entrance and he opens the door for me and I laugh.

"Hi welcome to P.F Changs!" The hostess tells us.

"So a table for two?" She asks

"Yes please." Niall says

"I like your accent sir. Your girlfriend must like it." The hostess says to Niall and looks at me.

"Oh she is just my best friend." I don't know whether to feel offended or happy.

"That's too bad. You two are a cute couple. Now can I get you drinks." She says while we sit down and she gives us menus.

"I'll have a Coca Cola." Niall and I say at the same time. We turn our heads looking at each other. Our hostess smirkes and says

"I told you... you two are such a cute couple. Your waitress should be here with your drinks and to take your order." Niall nods his head and I smile.

"You like Coca Cola?" I ask him

"Its my favorite." He says

"Mine too." I say. After I say that the waitress comes with our drinks.

"Maybe we should be a couple." He says taking a sip from his drink and I stare him down and then just laugh.

"Hi I am Bree and I will be taking your order." I look at the girl. She is tall with brown hair and brown eyes. I swear I have seen her before.

"Do I know you?"

"Your name is Jayden right?"

"You go to Ridgeway don't you? I know I have seen you before."

"Yeah we also went to the same middle school. We hadn't really talked a lot though." That rings a bell now

"Oh my god your the girl who liked Calum! I remember you asking me about him!" She blushes and nods her head.

"Hey how are you working if we are in school right now?"

"Well my teacher let's me out of class early to come to work."

" Nice."

"So are you guys ready to order. I assume you want the same food too huh." Bree says laughing

Niall started laughing

"What will you guys have?" Bree asks

"Jade? You want to go first." Niall asks me

"I will have the Vietnamese Spring roll."

"And I will have the lo mein." Niall says.

"You guys should be a couple. I will be back with your food." Niall. and I laugh.

" I know we can't be a couple. We can't even be friends let alone a couple. I never said how sorry I am for you. I wish there was something I could do." He says. His blue eyes hypnotizing me. I would love for him to help me but I can't. Someone already knows and I can't risk it. I remembered something and I grab it out of my bag to hand it to Niall.

~Niall pov~

Jayden hands me a CD from her bag. I open the CD case. On the CD it says Amnesia.

" What's this?" I asked her

"You wanted to hear my songs. This song was the last one before the guys left." I put the CD in my backpack and smile at her. Jayden and I talk about our lives like how I met my friends and I asked her about her job. Apparently she quit that because she couldn't manage. Bree came with our food and the check. Jade and I ate our food and paid for it then we left. We got into my car and drive back to school. We arrive at school. She looks at me and smiles. She grabs my hand and says

"Thank you for being a great friend Niall. I wish we could be friends out of school but I don't want you to suffer." She looks at me. Her eyes tear up and I quickly hug her. We part our hug, our faces so close to where I could kiss her. I place my hand on her cheek and move in slowly, she moves in slowly too. She closes her eyes and then I close mine. I can't believe I am about to kiss her. I feel her nose on mine and just as I am about to put my lips on hers, we hear the bell ring. Jayden opens her eyes and says.

"Text you later." She hugs me then gets out of my car. I stare at her as she gets out of my car. I feel stupid. I should of kissed her sooner. My phone starts to ring. I look at the screen and smile, I have been waiting for this call.

"Hey mate can you come?..... That's great and the others?..... Oh great she will be so excited!" I hang up the phone and smile. I am so excited for Jayden's surprise and I hope she is too.
