The backyard

Chapter 1

A Miracle may be on hold for now. I'm not sure when just soon, so if I don't update for a while I'm either working on this story or I have something else going on. Ily xoxo <3 hope you understand.
---------------------------------------------
I wake up to a beeping sound. I look over at my clock and realize it's 6:40.
Oh my god!
I get up and run to the bathroom. I'm supposed to be at school in 20 minutes! I brush my teeth and take my hair out of a braid, I rush over to my dresser and take out some black leggings, I then rush over to my closet and take out a white sweater. I grab my boots and I hurry to put those on, taking off my pj's.
I look at the clock. 6:49.
I grab my bag and rush downstairs. I take the keys off of the hook near my front door. I open my front door, I turn around and look around, seeing if I missed anything.
I head outside and lock the door behind me.
I unlock my car door and get in, putting the keys in the ignition and turning on the heater.
I back out of the driveway and head to school.
It doesn't take long for me to get to school.
***
I park my car in the same place I always do.
I take my keys out of the ignition and head to the front entrance of the school.
I take out my phone and look at the time.
6:58.
I open the door, a cool air blowing on me as I walk in.
I head left and go to my locker. I pass by a couple of people, rushing, like I am.
Once I get to my locker I type in the combination. 16, 29, 5.
I open it and quickly throw everything I don't need in it, leaving only my bag on my shoulder. I take out my History book and close my locker.
The bell rings. I rush to the other side of the school getting there in about 3 minutes.
***
I finish History and Algebra. I walk over to my locker and put my things inside of it. I head over to the cafeteria. I sit next to Layla. Layla has been my best friend ever since 5th grade. She was friends with Niall, just not close to him like I am. Her hair is in a bun, it's brown like mine but she has highlights. Michael sits next to her, he has brown hair and blue eyes. I've known him for only 2 years. Sasha sits across from us, she's blonde and has blue eyes. Her and Michael are like brother and sister. Like me and Niall were.
"Hey!" Sasha waves.
I smile and wave back.
"Oh, meet me by my locker after school." I look over at Layla
"Why is somet-" before I could finish she cuts me off
"Please? It's important."
"But I have s-"
"Yes, I know you have practice today. Please?" She's practically begging now.
I sigh, "fine"
She claps and turns to finish her conversation with Michael.
I look over at Sasha and give her a 'do you know what she wants to tell me' look but she just shrugs.
***
I head over to Layla's locker. I turn the corner and see she's on the phone. She makes eye contact with me and motions me to come over.
"Yeah, she's here!" She has a smile on her face. Who is she talking to?
"Who are you talking to?" I say as I walk over to her.
"Find out for yourself." She hands me her phone.
I take the phone and put it up to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Kristina?" I recognize that voice.
"Niall?" I look at Layla. She has a huge grin on her face. "How? What? But-"
"I promise I'll explain later. Are you busy tomorrow?"
"No. Bu-"
"Okay. I'll come to your house?"
"Do you have my address?"
"I think I may know where your house is." He laughs. I never knew how much I missed his laugh.
"Okay." I hear Layla giggle.
"Hey, Kristina?"
"Yeah?"
"I miss you."
Those 3 words were enough to make me blush. I look down.
"I miss you too"
He hangs up. I stand there, the phone still against my ear.
"Um, may I have my phone back?" She laughs.
I hand her, her phone. She hugs me and I head to practice.
