Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 5

Kaylee's P.O.V.

Sunday was spent mostly preparing myself for Thursday. I only took a break for lunch. Then I got home early Sunday night and went to eat with the girls. Bree and Harry spent all day together and she really likes him, but doesn't want to rush things. Tony started flirting with Devin Saturday night, but she doesn't know if it will go anywhere cause she's kind of indecisive about things sometimes. Mariah is still the same, which I have a feeling will be that way for while. She's so shy, and doesn't know how to get the confidence to let her feelings out.

Me? Well I've texted Niall here an there when I looked at my phone, but I haven't talked to him too much. I'm getting ready for dinner with him now, and all these thoughts of what could happen are running through my head. What if he gets mad cause I'm too closed up? What if he doesn't understand? He definitely isn't going to find out I don't really go to college anytime soon. Oh shit, I forgot to talk to the girls about that. Oh well. Devin and Mariah are coming over after I get home anyways.

I'm not much of a person to dress up, so I put on dark blue skinny jeans and a kiss me tank top. I put on white converse and a black beanie. I'm not really trying to impress Niall. I'm not trying to impress anyone. As soon and I'm done unplugging my phone I hear Bree yell.

"Niall's here!" She screams.

I look in the mirror one last time then sigh and exit the room. I walk down stairs and see Niall standing by the couch talking to Harry. That's weird, I didn't even know he was here. Oh well.

"Yeah, dude we should meet up sometime and watch a game." Harry says to Niall. He nods then turns to me.

"Ready love?" He kisses my cheek and I shrug. It feels weird when he does that.

I follow him out the door unwillingly and get in his car. I have to admit, this kid probably has some money hidden somewhere. I don't know why, but every time we're alone, there's some type of awkwardness. I think he senses that I'm not a very open person, and I don't think he likes it. It doesn't really matter to me either way. I don't need him to like me or even care fore me. I have four people who do that perfectly fine, and I refuse to change because some guy actually has an interest for me. Maybe it'd be different if I had an interest for him too? I don't know, but I don't really care either.

"So how am I supposed to approach the getting to know you stage?" Niall asks after we order.

"Ask me questions." I say in a 'duh' tone.

"Okay um, what's your favorite color?"

"Black or turquoise." I answer.

"Mines green." He says. I nod slowly. "What do you study at uni?" He asks. Fuck. I don't even know what majors there are there.

"Um. I haven't decided but I wanna be in the medical field. So I'm kind of just taking classes for that." Nice!

"Oh I wanna go for a law degree." He says. Again I just nod.

He was going to say something but our waitress comes back with our food. I try to avoid conversation as I begin eating. I don't think he knows what else to say cause if he did he would've said something already. At least I know him that much. He wants to be a lawyer, which might come in handy sometimes. Oh gosh, that sounds so bad of me. Bree would probably flip if she knew I was using Niall to be my lawyer. I won't, hell I don't even know if we will still talk by that time.

A couple moments after were done eating, our waiter comes with the bill. Niall looks at it and slaps some money down as if it's no big deal and stands up. He holds out his hand for help and I hesitantly take it. He leads me by holding my hand to the car and I break the connection heading towards the passenger side, slipping in the seat. He gets in and we make our way back to my house.
