The Exchange Students

New Neighbor

"So, uh, where are we going?" I asked to interrupt the silence and start a conversation.

"I don't know yet." he replied as his phone started playing, "Lets go CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY til we see the sun. I know we've only met but lets pretend it's love... TONIGHT LET'S GET SOME AND LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG!"

A One Direction fan? Hmmm, even better than I thought he'd be.

"Hey lad! How's it going? Oh it's going good. So how's wherever you are? Really? Back in Mullinger? I'll swing by to see ya lad. It's been a while. I hope you don't mind if I bring a couple friends with me. Yeah they're 3 girls that are living at my house from America. Okay, see you soon lad!" He hung up the phone with a big smile on his face.

"A girlfriend?" I asked trying not to sound rude and nosey.

"Uh, no! It's a close friend. I'm sure you'll like him."

We continued walking for about 3 minutes before we came to his friend's house.

We were walking around the car when... SMACK. I ran straight face to face with something.

"Agh. Oh my God! Are you okay? We have GOT to stop meeting like this!" I was holding my head, squinting my eyes trying not to show my weak tears. Without looking though, I could tell whose voice it was. I was definitely not going to show Niall how weak I was by crying.

"Uh, yeah, um, I think so." I replied with slight grin.

"I'm so sorry. I truly am. I-"

"It's fine. Really!" I didn't want him to keep apologizing. "It would be nice if someone would help me up though!" Mad and Maddy were both knelt down by me on the ground. They each grabbed an arm an lifted me up.

"Please tell me you're going going to be okay!" Ryan said with curiosity and worry on his face.

"Yeah."

"Okay, good, because my parents would throw a fit if they found out you got hurt." His worry turned into relief; His curiosity stayed on his face though. "So have you guys met each other or something?"

"We've ran into each other a few times." Niall said with what looked like a smile on his face.

"Literally!" I said, still holding my head where we had smashed faces. His smile was like medicine; He seemed to make my pain fade. But his warm, sweet smile made me wanna melt and I wanted to stay on the ground.

We all went inside. Niall, without surprise, had holy galore of food out. "You guys can munch on some food if you want."

"Ooh, yum!! I love pickles!!!" I said, "what would be better is if you had pineapples too! Have you ever tried Picknapples?"

"Tried what?!" Niall and Ryan said at the same time.

"Picknapples: pickles and pineapples."

"Uh, don't think I have. Sounds strange." Niall said.

"Me and Mios invented it at Old Country Buffet. It's a big all you can eat buffet in America."

"I'll have to try it sometime. Never thought of that mix before."

"Ooh! You have cherries?! I love cherries! My all time favorite snack!!" Maddy said as she eyeballed the cherries on the bottom shelf of the fridge.

"They're my moms but I'm sure you can have some," Niall told her, "I can always buy her more!"

We all sat there, joked, laughed, munched, and got to know each other for a few hours before we finally left. We even exchanged phone numbers! I never thought this would happen in a million years!!
