The Boy Who Gave Me Blank Stares » Narry

- twelve -

Soon enough, things started to get weird. Two weeks had gone by in a flash since the whole thing with Harry had happened. And I've only seen him here and there.

I had heard that he was looking for me, but I avoided him at all costs. I didn't want him to get the chance to play with my feelings. He'd done for a few times now, and I wasn't just going to give him that chance again.

I was currently in physics watching a movie about who knows what, but my mind wasn't all there. I didn't know what my feelings were anymore.

I was just a complete mess. I sighed and leaned on Ben's shoulder. I had been able to convince Mrs. Anderson to let us sit with each other. He had his chin resting on the palm of his hand and it made it easy for me to lean on him.

We had scooted closer to one another and the stools we were sitting on, made it easy. And if you're wondering, no, we're not dating or anything.

We simply had become good friends over the two weeks. He hung out with me and Keenan, but recently, Keenan was spend some time with his new girlfriend.

As usual, Keenan would date one and then dumb them for another. Or simply move on quickly. I had warned him that one day, someone was going to be just as cruel to him.

Of course, it being Keenan, he laughed it off. I had simply rolled my eyes and walked away. He was completely insane.

But as things looked, they weren't going to last. I knew it, he knew it, everyone knew it, and even the girl knew it. But they gave if a shot anyways.

I sighed and scooted closer to Ben. I heard him clear his throat and I looked up at him to only see that he had a smile blush on his cheeks. I giggled softly and poked one of the cheeks.

He pouted and I rolled my eyes. He was too adorable. I looked back to the screen and I felt myself slowly starting to drift off. "Hey, Ben, do you mind if I take a small nap on you." I asked.

He was really comfortable. "Uh, sure. I-I'll wake you u-up when the movie is done." He said nervously. The blush on his cheeks deepened and I silently cooed at him.

I readjusted my position and then relaxed against him. I yawned and soon enough, my eyes were closing. Drifting off to a good nap.

"Niall, wake up. Class of almost over." I heard Ben say. I groaned and remembered that it was Thursday. Our classes were only an hour long.

I sighed and leaned away from Ben. He seemed to not have liked me removing myself from him. A small pout present on his lips. I giggled and poked his cheek. "You're too cute." I whispered.

I don't know if he heard or not, but I was too busy packing my things that I didn't see what reaction he had. I proceeded into packing my things and once I was done, I looked up to Ben and noticed him finishing packing everything up.

I waited for him and once he was done, we both walked to our lockers and then exchanged our physics stuff for our art supplies. I was excited to work on our new projects that we had.

"So, Niall, what animal are you basing your clay pot?" Ben said. I sighed. I had no idea what animal I could to a clay pot out of.

"I'm not sure yet. But as of now, I've been leaning towards a panda maybe. I'm not sure." I said. He nodded his head.

"Cool. I was thinking of maybe doing something with a snake. I don't know." He said. I tried to imagine a snake clay pot and couldn't really put an image in my mind.

"I don't get it. How will you be able to?" I asked. He let out a small chuckle. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"I'm not making the pot the shape of a snake, I'm making it into a cylindrical shape and then adding the snake around it." Ben said. I hummed in respond and nodded.

I smiled as we neared the art room, but my smile was removed when I noticed Harry right at the door. I tried to ignore him and kept walking.

"Niall, why is that guy glaring at me?" Ben asked in confusion. I sighed. I looked at Harry and glared at him.

"I don't know Ben. He's weird. Just ignore him." I said. Ben chuckled. I smiled at him.

"Okay." We neared the door and as we were about to go inside, I felt someone grab my arm. I knew exactly who it was, so it didn't really faze me.

I stopped and Ben stopped with me. "Go on ahead. I'll go in a few seconds." I told him. He nodded and proceeded to walk into the class.

I felt myself being pulled away from the door. I looked up at Harry and rolled my eyes. I was getting tired of him.

"Niall, please, just-"

"I don't want to hear it. Whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear all this bullshit about you suddenly having feelings for me." I snapped. He didn't even seemed dazed about what I had just said.

I removed my arm from his hold and turned to walk inside the room. And like other times, he pulled me back. But what was different this time, was that his jaw was clenched and his eyes were cold.

"I am not lying to you when I say that I like you, Niall." He said. His eyes were staring straight into mine and I didn't know how to react to the cold stare he was giving me.

I continued to simply stare at him. And when I saw him leaning in, I pushed him back slowly. "Harry." I warned. He looked down to my lips and then back to my eyes.

Also as if he was asking for permission to kiss me. "Please." He said in a soft low voice. The cold look in his eyes was no longer there. I simply stood there and once I saw him leaning back in, I didn't do anything to stop him.

His lips got closer and before I knew it, his lips were touching mine. I gasped as he pulled me towards him and his hands held me tight at the hips.

He slowly moved his lips against mine and I was able to feel how much passion he was putting into the kiss.

Like if he was desperate to get me to kiss him back. Like if he really wanted to kiss me. Like if he really did have feelings for me. So I did what he was yearning for me to do.

I kissed him back.
