Chapter 9

Niall’s pov-->

I never thought in a million years that I would be so swoon over a high school girl. I mean I know this probably isn’t right, but I can’t help myself. She’s so youthful and innocent, but strong and independent and the same time. I texted her as soon as I got home. I feel so connected to her. I have no idea if she has the same feelings, but I know they’re there for sure.

I waited for her call.

Ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

Twenty Five minutes

Forty Five minutes later I finally receive a call from her, and we talked all night. It was about the stupidest things as well. Just random facts about ourselves. Some things I’ve never even told anyone. I sat in the sofa chair in the corner of my room and just had a laugh with her. It was getting late so I wanted to ask her before she went to bed…

“Hey Syd?”

“Yeah?” She said so soft and sweetly.

“Do you wanna hang out tomorrow night or something? I mean you don’t have to I was ju-“ She instantly cut me off.

“I would love too.” I smiled at her answer. 

“alright. Cool.” I tried playing it eager.

“I’ll text you tomorrow morning okay?” She told me. When she said that, it made me feel really happy, that she wanted to actually talk to me tomorrow.

“Okay. Night beautiful.” I finished off out conversation.

All she kept doing was giggling. I didn’t understand.

“Why’re you laughing now?” I asked.

“I don’t know. No one has ever called me beautiful, and it’s just new to hear I guess.” She stated. It kind of crushed me to hear that. Why wouldn’t anyone think she’s beautiful? She is to me anyways. 

“Well, it’s true, so go to bed, so I can talk to you in morning.” I laughed at my true statement. The sooner we went to bed, the sooner I could talk to her.

“Okay mom… Night.” She emphasized on the ‘mom’.

“Goodnight.” I said as I waited for her to hang up.

I smiled as I pulled my phone away from my face and clicked the lock screen. I walked over to my bed and plugged my phone in the charger by it. I walked over to my bathroom and pulled my shirt over my head, messing my hair up already more than it already is. I pulled down my shorts and got in the shower.

All I could ever seem to think about anymore was her, Sydney. It’s like she’s completely taken over my life, and I don’t even know how it happened, or how to stop it.

But do I want to stop it? I asked myself within my millions of thoughts.

I soon found myself fast asleep, waiting for her message.

Sydney’s  pov-->

I woke up later than on a school morning. I fluttered my eyes open to the bright sunlight peeking through my curtains. I stretched my arms out and let out a yawn. I looked over at the clock to check the time, which was now 8:15. I rolled around in my bed for a couple more minutes until I forcibly got out of it. Before I got another lecture from Niall about not calling him last night, I decided to shoot him a quick text before I stared getting ready for the day.

“Good morning sunshine. The earth says hellooo. I’m not funny. Anyways. Morning x”

And send.
