All Shook Up (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 5

He was walking towards me. ME! I then remembered Layla's warning. But then i totally kicked her butt without touching her, I felt like a boss.

Why is everything going in slow motion?? Weird.... I took my time to look at him.

He had a navy blue shirt with "Eff Me" written on it, black jeans and white hi-top sneakers. He was around 5'7 and very well built. Nice muscles.. I swear I could see his abs through his shirt. He got nearer and nearer to my table. My heart pounded like a drum against my chest. 

"Hello there," he drawled in a deep voice, his thick Irish accent like music to my ears. "Hi, I'm Mercedes," I greeted him stretching my hand out. He shook my hand. "Niall Horan," he said giving me a warm smile. Mr King, our Bio teacher walked in.

"Alright students take your seat and turn to chapter 5. We're doing cells today," he said while dropping his brief case on his desk.

Niall's POV

After the first 3 periods, Mercedes and I were standing outside of class when this really tall and ugly girl with 2 others behind her walked up to us. "HI!" she flashed me a smile, tossing her short brown hair over her shoulder. "Um hi," I mumbled.

She glared at Mercedes and rolled her eyes. I sensed some tension between the 2 girls but Mercedes looked like she couldn't be bothered. So I decided to loosen everyone up a bit by putting my hands on Mercedes's waist and pulling her closer to me. She looked flush as my grip on her waist got stronger. 

"This," I gestured to Mercedes, "is my really good friend Mercedes." Mercedes smirked as Layla's face turned an ugly color. "Oh we know each other," Layla confirmed in an angry tone. "Yup, Layla and I are best friends," Mercedes replied with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. 

Layla continued to glare at Mercedes. She didn't really pay attention to that cause she was distracted by 3 girls heading our way. They looked familiar. I think these are her friends. They suddenly realised that Layla and her pals were with us and rushed over.

"Layla, I think its time you left. Its obvious that no one wants you here." The tall blond one jumped in front of Mercedes, protecting her. There was also a skinny one with long brown hair. The last one who was a red head stood next to Mercedes.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?!" Layla roared shoving the skinny one aside making her fall to the ground. Mercedes suddenly snapped and slipped out of my grasp. She stood face to face with Layla, breathing heavily.
