Notes to Natalie

Chapter 1

Natalie's POV

I turn off Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran and take out my headphones as we pulled up to school. It's the the third marking period and trust me, the hardest one yet. I am completely dreading it and school is just absolute hell to me. More like to everyone I know.

At least I have one thing to look forward too. This guy Luke I started to crush on a few weeks ago, I think he likes me back. He always seems to make me smile, and I get this giddy feeling whenever I'm around him. He's in my english and history class, and he only sometimes looks back at me.

Once I found my locker in the crowded halls, I started to turn the knob, entering my combination. 21-1-27. The number went through my head a billion times before my locker finally opened.

I unload my bag, shoving everything that I don't need back into my locker. Math was first period so I need a calculator, textbook, and my notebook. I shut my locker, quickly walking in the direction where I spotted Emily.

I spotted her walking down the halls, her long chocolate brown hair cascading down her back. She always seemed to look so gorgeous in such an effortless way.

"Hey!" My excitement was clear in the way that I talked. "Hi." she mumbled. I saw how she's looked a little depressed. "Someone in a mood?" I said trying to cheer her up.

"Mum and Dad had a fight last night. It was pretty bad, Louis tried to comfort me, but it's just frustrating. They fight all the time, it's like why not just get a divorce already if you can't be together. It's not that I want them to get a divorce, I just hate to see them fight." Em said, trying to hide the tears in her eyes. I didn't want to see her cry, she would embarrass herself and she doesn't need that.

Louis and Emily are twins, and it gets really funny just watching them fight sometimes.

"Aww Em, don't say that, it'll all work out, don't worry."

"I rather have them divorced and away from each other, then see them fight constantly. It's just too painful."

"How about we talk at lunch? Just get through till second period and we'll talk then girl, don't worry." She nodded, giving me a hug and walking away towards her class.

I walked down the stretched hallway to Mr. Hughes class. I felt my phone vibrate, I opened it to see a text from Niall.

Niall: Today's our last day before we leave for tour. Have lunch together?

Niall has been my best friend since preschool, he is like a brother to me in some ways. Before I replied yes I remembered what I just told Emily. I quickly typed a response.

Natalie: Aww, I can't believe this day has come, I am going to miss you guys so much. Ni I just told Em we would have lunch together cause she's having a rough day.

A few seconds later a response came through.

Niall: Oh yeah Lou told me what happened. How about we all have lunch together, doesn't Em want to say goodbye too?

Natalie: Okay yeah she'll be cool with that, the more the merrier! :)

Niall: see ya then graham cracker :p

I started cracking up at Niall's nickname for me. It's all good though, I have one that he will just love.

Natalie: can't wait jelly bean

Niall: -_-

The bell rang signaling class was starting, I quickly took out my math notebook, as Mr. Hughes started math class.

Niall's POV

I turned my phone off, after texting Natalie. We've known each other since we were about three. Being just friends with someone as beautiful as Natalie for all this time isn't easy. Especially for me. She's had other relationships with guys, which has made me jealous, actually.

I know that Natalie has been after this guy Luke for sometime now. Maybe I should take my chance before she's in another relationship.

But what if she doesn't like me back? I would look like some weirdo. So how do you tell your best friend that you have feelings for her?
