The Boy Who Gave Me Blank Stares » Narry

- eleven -

Bullshit.

Complete and utter bullshit.

There is no way that Harry likes me. Hell, he can barely tolerate me as a friend. And now as a lover? This boy is losing his mind.

I stood in front of him trying to see if he was trying to pull some sort of sick joke. And after realizing that he was serious, my eyes widened and took a few involuntary steps away from him.

"No, you're lying." I said. He continued giving me his sincere look and I shook my head and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"This can't be happening." I whispered to myself and gave Harry one last glance before actually walking away. We were on break so I quickly went looking for Keenan, but bumped into someone else.

"Sorry." I mumbled and looked up to see who it was. Once seeing that it was Jason, I blushed instantly.

"Nice seeing you, gorgeous." I blushed even more. I cleared my throat and looked away. "I see you're a shy one." I looked at him and he had a smirk dancing on his lips.

I looked down to my shoes and found them rather interesting. I didn't know how to respond to Jason.

"You're too cute." He whispered and caressed my cheek. My eyes widen from the contact. He was looking into my eyes and I felt like he was staring at my soul.

"Um, thanks...?" I said bashfully. He smiled and then placed a feathery kiss to my cheek before walking away.

I stood there flustered and once hearing the bell go off, I walked to my locker and getting my things out for my next class. Which just so happened to be Spanish.

I groaned and reluctantly took out my Spanish materials and headed to class. The minute waking in, I was already bored and annoyed. Mainly annoyed.

Things were going by pretty slow and I found myself drawing on my notebook. At this point, the teacher was just blabbing on about how to use accents and so on.

I knew I should have been listening, but I'm me. So I don't. I know it's going to come back and bite me in the ass. But I'll deal with it when the time comes.

"Niall, can you please pay attention." My head snapped up to the sound of the teachers voice. I looked at her and nodded.

A few students snickered and I simply rolled my eyes. Like they're paying attention. I sighed and reluctantly paid attention. I really wanted to get out of here.

Since I wasn't really paying attention, time went by very slow for my liking. I looked up to the clock and realized that there was at least twenty more minutes. I groaned and let my head drop on the desk.

I looked up and the teacher was giving me a look. I rolled my eyes and straightened up. I looked around the classroom to distract myself, and it might have worked a bit too well. I jumped when hearing the bell go off and I sighed. I gathered my things and quickly found my way to my locker.

I was taking the necessary things out, when I hear someone humming a familiar song. I turned to my right and surely, Ben was the one humming. He had both earbuds in and without knowing, he started singing lowly.

"My youth, my youth is yours trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls." He sang and I smiled. I don't think he noticed me next to him. I closed my locker and soon was heading towards my fourth class. And I just wanted to get it over with to then go to lunch.

And yeah, we have lunch after fourth period. But that was only on Mondays and Thursdays. I had started to walk away, but then remembered that Ben had that class with me.

I looked back and noticed him looking around confused. I walked back to him and tapped his shoulder. "Oh, hey." He said and shot me a smile. I smiled back.

"Hi, anyways, I remembered that we have the last three classes together and I just thought that maybe, it would be smart if I showed you where they were." I said. His cheeks turned a light pink and I found it adorable.

"Thank you, Niall."

"No problem." We walked to class and along the way, I mentioned hearing him singing.

"So, Ben, if my ears were correct, were you singing 'Youth' by Troye Sivan?" I said and he instantly blushed. I giggled. I found the way that he had gotten when I mentioned it, cute.

"Um, yeah. I'm a bit of a fan of his. And I didn't know that I had an audience." he said and smirked. It was my turn to blush.

"In my defense, you were right next to me. And also, I may say, Ben, you have a rather lovely voice." I said and he laughed.

"No I don't. My voice sucks." He said. I shook my head in disagreement. "You sir, are being too modest. From what I heard, your voice is very beautiful. And I definitely want to hear it again sometime." I said. He blushed and walked into the class.

"I'm serious. My voice sucks. And I don't think you'd like that." he said. I chuckled. He was too cute. I was going get him to sing for me one of these days.

"Alright, if you say so. But come on, you're sitting next to me. I'm sure Karen would be okay with it." I said and winked at him. What the hell? Did I just wink at him?

I take my normal seat and he sits to my left. Of course, it was Ms. Barry and she didn't like it that I had just placed Ben in the seat that was taken by Karen.

She ended up moving Ben a couple seats away, but we would still be partnering up for most things. "It seems to me, that someone here has a little crush." I turned to face Karen.

"What?" I asked. I had a feeling on what she was talking about. She scoffed. "Oh please, I can see the way that you and the new kid, which by the way, is really cute, interact. And honestly, that's not fair." she said. I blushed at her words.

I certainly didn't think that I had a crush on Ben. I just met the guy. I looked back at him and he caught my gaze. I smiled and he smiled back. I turned back to Karen who had a smirk on her face.

"Oh, shut up." I said and shook my head. I took one last glance at him before turning to the front of the class. I chuckled to myself at the simple thought of me crushing on Ben.

I knew I had feeling towards Harry still, but now that I think of it, I wouldn't get the same feeling that I used to get. I sighed and wondered to myself, what if I do start crushing on Ben?

-

So, that happened.

To be honest, I like Ben. He's just so cute and adorable. And he's only going to get even more adorable.
