Notes to Natalie

Chapter 3

Natalie's POV

Basically all I did during third period was text Emily. I was just trying to keep her updated on what was happening. But the thing was, did I even want Luke to ask me out? I've heard some negative things about him in the past, and something just didn't feel right.

"Psst. Nat..Natalie." I turned around to see Niall tapping my shoulder.

"What?" I asked clueless.

"I texted you."

I clicked on my phone and viewed the text from Niall.

'could I invite the boys tonight too? It could be at my house'

I giggled a little. Niall exaggerated over the smallest things.

'sure but don't forget about Emily!'

"Alright class your homework for tonight will be to write an essay with a partner of your choice. The essay is a free topic, enjoy. You are dismissed."

I collected my things and exited the room. I looked around for where Luke might be. I spotted him at his locker texting someone.

"Hey, you wanted to talk?" He laughed at something on his phone before noticing me.

"Oh, yeah hey. One sec, let me just put my books away." He unlocked his phone again though.

"Um, Luke? What's on your phone?"

"Oh sorry. That was, um nothing. Anyways, I wanted to ask you something."

"Yeah, that's why I'm here."

Something definitely wasn't right. Who was he talking to on his phone?

"Right, so..would you like to go out sometime? I would really like to get to know you better."

That was simple. Usually there's more to it.

"Yeah, I'd like that. Here's my number." I tried to take his phone to type it in, be he rejected.

"Oh wait, let me put it in. What is it?" he asked me nervously. It's like he was hiding something. Something that might affect me.

When I got home, I realized that Luke had texted me.

>>Sorry for being so weird about today while I was on my phone. I should have been putting my attention towards you. I'll pick you up at...7?

>>seven sounds good. and dont worry about today, but why were you so sensitive about it?

>>Okay see you at seven!!

How much more obvious could it get that he tried to ignore my question? Well tonight should be interesting.

My phone rang. Emily was calling.

"Hello?"

"Hey Natalie! How's it going?"

"Could get better.." I said in a annoyed voice. I rolled my eyes, but it wasn't like she could tell.

"Care to explain later tonight at Niall's?"

Shit.

"Wanna hang out tonight? We could eat food and watch movies." , "Hey is it okay if I invite everyone else? I mean, it is our last night before we leave for tour."

"Our last night before tour....our last night before tour....our last night before tour..."

His words kept repeating in my head. They were leaving tomorrow, and I said yes to a date with some jerk I barely like.

((( btw the words in italics after she curses is her remembering Niall's words. They arent exactly what it said from the last chapter, but yeah)))
