Chapter 13

Elizabeth

It's been a week since Niall and Liam have made up. Everyone was shocked to see them actually hang out, but got used to it pretty quickly. Liam had gained most, if not all, of his friends back a day after he became friends with Niall. Even with that, he hangs out with Zayn and Niall the most. Whenever I see how happy Niall and Liam are, I feel proud of what I did.

Right now I'm in the lunch room sitting next to Danielle and Niall. I listen to everyone's conversations as they eat as I usually do, when something happened. A girl who sat across from me was looking at me a bit strangely, before voicing her thoughts.

"Hey, how come I never see Elizabeth eat anything?" Everyone then turns to me and I blush and look down, shrugging.

"Yeah, she doesn't eat."

"Is she anorexic?"

"All she ever does is listen to everyone's conversations."

"Now that I think about it, she never talks either."

I am bombarded with questions and comments by everyone. I can't actually reply to them so I just fidget a bit whilst they continue to ask me a bunch of questions. Luckily for me though, Danielle decides to speak up.

"You guys! Stop asking her all of these questions. Who cares if she doesn't eat anything at lunch? The food here is terrible and maybe she isn't hungry. About the talking thing, I don't see anything wrong with not talking. It makes her less annoying. Maybe some of you should take notes." Everyone then leaves me alone and I sigh in relief. I give her a grateful smile and she returns it before turning to Zayn and kissing him.

By the end of the day, Niall comes up to me and puts his arm around my shoulder. We walk up to his car and he drives us to his house. The car ride to his house was pretty silent other than the sound of the radio playing. Once we go inside his house we great his mom and go up to his room. We just sit around when he asks me a question.

"Hey, how come you don't eat anything at lunch?" I just shrug my shoulders.

"C'mon, you know you can tell me. Please?" I sigh and hold my hand out for his phone. Once he give it to me, I start typing.

'I'm just not used to eating that much food.'

"What?! How could you not be used to eating food?" He asks as if it's the most absurd thing he's ever heard, or read.

'There's not much money to be wasting on extra food.'

"Oh. Sorry for asking." Niall looks down, but I lift up his head and give him a peck and smile. He smiles back. After another moment of silence, he speaks up.

"Hey, Elizabeth. Can I ask you a question?" I smile at him and nod.

"Would you like to, maybe... If you're able to, um... Go on a date with me tomorrow?" He gets out. I grin at him and nod my head.

"Yes!" He exclaims before capturing my lips with his.

This might be a fun date.
