Part 2 :: plans

"What the fuck do you mean you acted like you had a boyfriend?," Amber asked, over the phone.

"See ! This is why I didn't want to fucking tell you in the first place. I've told you the story 5 times already," I yelled.

"Take a fucking chill pill Ariel. I'm just trying to comprehend how that happened ! I was with you the whole night."

"That's the funniest thing I've heard. No you weren't. Lilly, Penelope and you left me all alone, all night ! And that's when everything happened."

"We're such great friends aren't we?," she laughed.

"You guys totally are, I don't know how anyone would not want to be friends with you," I said in a monotone voice," Anyway, I have to go to the store, I'll call you later," I said my goodbyes and hung up.

I got in my run down car, turned up the volume on the radio and drove to the bank first, to pick up money.

I later got to the store, only having a couple things of getting in mind, you know, the essentials.

But I found myself in the clothes, makeup and school supply section.

I got a lot of that stuff, plus the essentials and headed to the cashier.

"Hi miss h-," they stopped mid sentence.

"Uhh... hi," I chuckled, putting the last of my things on the conveyer belt.

I looked up and a blonde boy was standing there, looking at me as if I was a ghost.

"Hello? Are you going to scan my things? Do I need to go to a different line?," asking with curiosity.

"You don't have to be rude. After all I did save you from that creep at the party," the says, as he turns off the light on his lane that signaled customers his cash register was open.

"Excuse me?," I ask, utterly confused.

"You don't remember me?," he smiles.

I stand and think for a second,"Nope not ringing any bells," I shake my head," Am I supposed to remember you?"

"I'm the guy you claimed to be your boyfriend? At the party two nights ago?," he smiles again.

It hit me," Fuck oh my god ! I am so sorry, fuck I feel awful," I say, dearly.

"Nah, it's okay," he laughs.

"I would've remembered you if you had told me your name," I smile.

"It's - it's Niall," he holds out his hand," And you're Ariel."

I nod my head,"you remembered."

"Of course, how could I forget a beautiful face?," he winks, putting the rest of my items in the paper bags.

I blush, and turn away, looking at the magazine's behind me.

After my blushing stops, I turn around and find Niall already starting back at me.

"So you work here eh?," I ask, attempting to not be awkward.

Obviously he works here, dim wit. He's wearing the shirt, the badge everYTHING YOU'RE SO STUPID. STOP

Niall laughs for no apparent reason, and nods his head. He helps me put my bags in my cart, I say goodbye and walk off.

"Hey, Ariel !," I hear someone call," Do you maybe, want to like, hang out sometime? Really get to know each other?," Niall asks.

I stand there for what feels like 30 minutes, thinking if I really wanted to let him into my life.

I look at his face, and he has a face that just screams "Please say yes, don't embarrass me"

"Yeah, let's hang out," I smile, nodding my head.

Niall lets out a breath of relief, asking for my number so he'll be able to contact me. I write it on the back of my recipient, handing it to him.

"I'll see you," he waves goodbye to me, which I kindly return.

I get home, put the small amount of grocery's I had gotten away and make a 3 way call with Amber, Lilly and Penelope.

Amber answered first, and immediately asked for the story one last time, which I didn't raise my voice at.

I was happy right now. I don't know if it was because I had finally found out his name or because we had plans on seeing each other again. But either way, I was happy at what had just happened.

Do you really think something's going to happen between you two? As if ! He's a social, party person. And what are you ? A shy, quiet loser. But dream big kiddo !!

Yeah, my conscious was right. Nothing would end up happening between Niall and I. He was sweet and all, but I highly doubt he'd go for anyone like me.

I hung up the phone after telling Lilly and Penelope the story for the first time and Amber, the sixth and counting time.

Unknown number: Hey, it's niall here. Is this Ariel's number?

He actually texted me first.

Well yeah stupid, you don't have his number ?? Honestly, how are you a junior in high school.

Me: hey yea, it's Ariel :))

[ contact saved as :: Niall, fake boyfriend ]

Niall, fa... : what are you up to right now ?

Me: Nothing much, just got off the phone with my friends. You know, the ones that left me alone at the party? Yeah them :-))

Niall, fa... : Lmao, but hey, if they never took you, we would've never met ;)

Me: gtg !

Niall fa... : :-//

Me: lmaooo, I'm kidding. sorry you'll be getting that a lot when we text.

Niall, fa... : You're different, but in a good way. I like that.

I froze completely, wHAT.

Me: thanks I try :)

Niall, fa... : lol, how does tomorrow sound for hanging out ?

Me: yea, sounds good :-) where at ?

Niall, fa... : We could go and get coffee at Starbucks... or have lunch somewhere you like.

Me: that sounds great ! What time ?

Niall, fa... : Just tell me your address. I'll pick you up sometime in the morning. Be ready ;)

No time ? No exact place ? What ?

Me: ....... okay. I'll be ready :)

Niall, fa... : Go with the flow of things. Don't worry.

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT ? THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN ! WHAT

I gave him my address and our messages ended there, and by the time I knew it, it was already 10 o'clock at night.

I found myself not being able to sleep tonight. Was it because of Niall ? Or because of the fact I didn't know what time to be up at, or get dressed at?
