Teacher's Pet

Chapter 22

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! I'M FINALLY 18!!!!! I am so happy that today is Friday because I am going out tonight!!!!! This week at school has been soo full on! There is only a month left of school before my final exams, so my teachers have been hurling so much revision work at us. Niall has been very mean in class to everyone again, but I know he is just as stressed as the rest of us- he actually wants everyone to do amazing in their maths exam. He said he feels like our grades reflect his teaching or something along those lines. I woke up to mor giving me a bracelet from Thomas Sabo!! I am ecstatic and I love it sooo much!! She also got me Victoria's Secret perfume I've wanted for ages. After I ate breakfast, I skyped my family from Sweden and I felt so home-sick... I felt so blessed because they stayed up all night just to wish me a happy birthday! Talking to them made me realise that once I've graduated, I am going back to visit them. BUT I have to go to school so I quickly pack my school bag and run outside to meet Mandy. When I get in the car, she starts singing 'Happy Birthday' to me, yknow, because I am special! She hands me a box and I open it excitingly. LOW AND BEHOLD- the Victoria's Secret underwear set I have wanted to order!!

"O-M-G Ama! Thank you so much!!" I pull her in and give her the biggest hug.

"I have to say, Han, I think Niall is going to enjoy that present more than you!" She winks and pulls out of my driveway.

"You cheeky little..."

"Uh! No swearing in my car!"

"Since when?"

"Since I am an awesome bestie who got your awesome lingerie!"

"Shhh! It's not lingerie! It's... just pretty underwear!"

"Keep telling yourself that, hun." She pokes her tongue at me.

We walk into the hallway with a few minutes to spare before school starts and we go to our lockers. I open mine and a bunch of balloons fall out around my feet. I look at Mandy and give her the 'I know it was you' look and she shrugs her shoulders, confused. I look around and see Niall at the end of the hallway. He gives me a wink and walks away. That little shit! That little, cute shit! I have 2 minutes to get to form room before being marked as absent and I have to pick up at least one hundred little balloons! I decide to kick them around to decorate the boring hallway and run to form with Mandy.

"Sorry we're late, ma'am! It's Hannah's birthday and her locker exploded with balloons!" Mandy yells, running into the room. Miss Gordon just looks up at us, ticks our names and points us to go to our seats. Phew! Form flies by and so does English, and before I know it, time for MATHS!! I walk in and Niall is sitting against his desk, and he looks very relaxed today. He sees me and starts smiling, before trying to cover it up by coughing.

"Hey Mr Horan! It's Hannah's birthday!" Mandy yells from our desk. He turns around, trying to look mad.

"Happy Birthday Hannah, and Mandy- no yelling in class." He says, stern.

I must say- Mr Horan must be in a good mood today because he has arranged some maths games for us to play in groups so we can 'all relax a bit, because stress isn't good for studying.' Good save, Niall, good save. I know you're just happy it's my birthday! The block goes by so quickly and sadly, the bell goes for recess. Mandy and I pretend to be in deep conversation so we can be the last to leave.

"Hannah. A word?" he says in his usual mean Mr Horan voice. I walk over and he looks over my shoulder to see if everyone has left the class.

"Happy Birthday, love." He whispers, pulling out a wrapped gift.

"Niall... You shouldn't have!" I say, taking the gift. I open it and see the Michael Kors bag I've been saving up for.

"Niall how did you know?" I squeal, hugging him.

"What's going on here?" I'm startled by the voice of the principal. Oh shit! OH SHIT! She is standing in the doorway, with her arms folded.

"Oh, Mrs Tuffley! I'm just giving this back to Hannah. It's her birthday today so Mandy gave her this in class and I deemed it inappropriate, so I confiscated it." Niall says, gulping.

"Girls, that could have waited until recess. Now go." She scolds. Phew! That was a close one. I can't help but feel that she saw us hug though...

****************

It is 8pm and I am putting the final touches of my look together. I am wearing my black halter crop top, my high-waisted pencil skirt, and my gorgeous Louboutins! Mandy walks in with a pink 'Birthday Girl' sash and a birthday tiara. What the hell, you only turn 18 once!! I asked mor to join us tonight, but she said that she wanted me to enjoy a night out with my friends. It's only a small group of us- Mandy, Harry, Niall and I. Who cares? It'll be fun anyway. Harry is coming in the taxi with us, but Niall has a bunch of marking to complete, so he said he'd meet us later.

We get to the club and the atmosphere is incredible! People dancing and enjoying themselves, people drinking, and amazing music! We haven't been in the club for an hour, and I'm surrounded by a bunch of people, all of which are sooo nice! There is a guy, however, who does not know what space is, and nor does he understand what 'I'm not interested' means. He reaches to place his hand and my hip when Niall pushes him.

"Hands off, mate." He says, looking as if he is about to rip the guy's arm off. The poor fella lifts his arms up in surrender and walks off.

"You're here, yay!" I squeal, hugging him.

"Yeah. You alright?" He says, mad.

"Everything good?"

"Mmhmm."

"Come on, tell me."

"Why did you let him get that close to you?" he looks at me, eyebrows frowning.

"Wait, are you serious?" He keeps looking at me.

"I was just dancing and he came onto me. I'm trying to have fun, but you're killing my vibe." I say in disbelief. Is he fricking serious?

"Sorry." He mumbles, walking to the bar. He comes back with a beer and a daiquiri.

"Here." He smiles, apologetically. I take the drink and walk over to an empty corner, with everyone else following. I can't even remember how many drinks I've had at this point, but I can say that I am definitely not the only drunk one, but I am the drunkest. As the birthday girl, I am meant to be! I am closely followed by a very drunk Mandy, then Niall, and Harry is only a bit tipsy- that boy can definitely hold his drinks! Time comes for us to leave and we all leave in separate taxis- Mandy and Harry in one, Niall and I in the other. On the way out, I swear I see my form teacher, Miss Gordon, but when I blink, I see it is just some blonde girl with way too much makeup on her face. We pull up in front of Niall's house and he goes to get out of the taxi.

"Niall, wait," I grab his arm "I am going to go home, I need to get over this because I really don't want a hangover before the Halloween party tonight."

"That's okay, love. I hope you feel alright in the morning. Give us a call when you get home and when you wake up! I really enjoyed tonight, and I hope you had an amazing birthday." He leans in and gives me a super sloppy, drunk kiss. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to decide to go home.

"You take care of her! Get her home safe." Niall points at the driver through the rear-view mirror. He gives the man $50 and kisses my cheek, then gets out of the car.

Ahhh. Sounds amazing. I can't wait to get home and sleep this off.

A/N: Hey guys! I managed to get another chapter out! I'm sorry if this chapter has caused any confusion, but Hannah's birthday is on October 30th! So I hope the Halloween party thing didn't confuse any of you!
