Having a younger sibling is not always pleasing. Either you get along for a while then you fight or you just do not get along at all. I have been blessed with a younger sister, Kristen, five years younger yet taller than me. After having a small banter with her about something completely irrelevant that I don't even remember, I continued editing the one minute video that was due in two days. I finished filming it a couple of days ago and I actually am satisfied with the shots that I got. Exporting the video is such a pain. One would think that since its only one minute it should export rather fast. Not the case at all. It took around 15 minutes to export for some reason. 

Now it's Monday, and my video was due. I was happy with the end result but still had my fears about it. I met Lay before our first class together, got in class and took our previous spot from last week. I was lost a bit in my own world by getting my things ready and checking my phone before class. 

That was until somewhat lightly tapped my shoulder. Niall was occupying the seat right behind of mine, smiling at me. 

"How is Miss Ella doing this fine Monday morning?" he said slowly with a very soft voice which I really appreciated considering I'm still half asleep. 

"I'm doing well, how are you?" I softly replied with a smile slowly forming on my face. 

"I'm pretty good. How was your weekend?" He asked back. It was a bit weird for me. Someone actually wanting to have a conversation with me, let alone a cute someone. 

And like that we engaged in a small talk until someone beside me cleared their throat. That's when I realized that Lay was still there. I quickly introduced the two of them, right when Cheryl, the teacher, walked in.  

We started with a small discussion about people's favourite films and proceeded to watch a film by Alfred Hitchcock, in two parts because we get a break throughout the class. 

The break was fairly fast, just had enough time to go to the washroom, drink some water and get back to class. Made it with a couple of minutes left for the break, but Niall was still out, Lay as well. I occupied myself until they got back just in time as the movie was restarting. 

The movie ended and we were told that we had to write a report about it for next class. I was not sure about what I should write but I didn't bother asking the teacher in front of the whole class, way too shy for this. 

Class ended, Lay, Niall and I left class and stood in a small circle outside class. That's when Niall and Lay started talking about the film and how they know exactly what to write for the assignment while I just stood there not knowing what to say.

"What are you thoughts on the film Ella?" Lay asked after quite some time of us standing. 

"Um, the film was great I loved it. I'm just not sure about the assignment," I spoke slowly and softly barely audible for some reason. 

"I could help you if you want" said Niall. I was not sure if it was just really warm or i was madly blushing. After a few seconds of recomposing myself and letting my rosie cheeks calm down, I looked up at him only to find him staring right back with a soft smile playing on his lips. 

"Oh, it's okay. I wouldn't want to bother you or take your time" I quietly answered and looked back down at my white converse. 

"Nonsense! I told you before that if you needed my help to ask. I would be happy to help you" he answered quickly, still feeling him staring softly at me. 

"Are you sure?" I questioned, still unsure why would he want to help me at all. 

"Yes, of course! Here, just give me your number and I'll text you my schedule to find some time in between our classes" He extended his arm with his phone pointing towards me to take. 

I stared at it for a little while still unsure of his actions, nor of mine. It was split second until I took the phone from his hands, quickly putting my phone number in and saving it with my name and the elephant emoji, just because I found it cute. I gave him his phone back and he inspected whatever I wrote. A wide smile appears on his pretty face and he looked back up at me.

"Elephant? It's cute" he was still smiling at me, while I just stood there like an idiot, pretty sure blushing. 

"Alright, well, I have to go catch up with some mates of mine. I'll see you around?" he asked, I just nodded and softly smiled back in response.

A soft smile/smirk slowly appeared as he continues, " Lay, a pleasure meeting you, Ella, take care and I'll see you soon" he waved and slowly disappeared from our sight. 

I was still standing in the same spot since Niall left still not completely sure of what just happened. That's until I turn around and see Lay just staring right at me with a confused, shocked, and amused face. 

"You have to tell me everything" she half screamed had squealed. 

I did not know exactly what I was going to tell her, because I myself do not know what is going on. But, I think I like it.
