06. Pressing On

Niall's POV

The next day, I can't even say I was prepared for what was about to happen. My second day at the new school, and it was already lunch time. Chorus was okay; Mrs. Smith assigned the class to get into groups and record a song. I was put in a group with Sam and Jessica. Jessica already had a song in mind; she just needed to record the music. So I had a free pass for Chorus!

Second period, gee that was fun. I had English 4 honors, A) I'm really surprised I have all these advanced classes and B) I was stuck with Harry, Louis and Zayn. We had to partner up for some project and I got stuck with Harry.

"What do we have to do?" Harry asked me when everyone had gone into their groups. I sighed; didn't he pay attention in class?

"We have to write a parody of one of Shakespeare's sonnets. Do you have any idea which one to do?"

"Nope." He said, popping the 'p' when he said that. We sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"So um, Niall. How do you like the school so far?"

"It's good. Decent."

"That's good, I guess."

More uncomfortable silence...someone cue the jeopardy background music. Then you can repeat it maybe 5 or so times.

"Shouldn't we start working then?" harry gives a small chuckle as I nod and start reading over the sonnets.

We work together, pretty quietly for the rest of the period. As soon as we hand in the assignment, the bell rings. This means lunch! YES! Mental fist pump.

"Uh Niall, what are you doing?" my head snaps around to see Harry trying not laugh as I slowly lower my arm.

"Yeah I may or may not have been really excited for lunch so I thought I did a mental fist pump..."

"Real smooth."

"Shut up Styles."

*Time skip to the present*

I was sitting with Jessica and the girls at a booth during lunch. They were laughing about something that I really didn't understand. In the distance, I could see Louis and Zayn walking towards us.

"Niall!" Sam yelled in my face and I fell out of my seat. They all laughed while I tried not to flip them all off.

"Why?" I ask. Sam shrugs but has that mischievous glint in her eye.

"We can't have you drooling over Jessica's crush, now can we?"

 I choked on my spit. "What?"

"It's so obvious, you're staring down Louis and Zayn, and it so happens, and Louis is Jess's crush."

"SAMANTHA REAGAN REED! DON'T SAY IT ALOUD!!" Jess yelled, her face growing more tomato-like by the second. It took a moment to understand what she was saying. Louis and Jessica like each other!! Man I love being friends with both of them! I'm like the little messenger... Cue evil smirk.

"What? It's not like he's friends with the little idiots." Lily muttered. Everyone, excluding me, stared at her.

"What?! I just don't voice my thoughts about the jocks."

"Except for your love for Zayn..." Sam sniggered.

"Exactly... wait hey!"

"So let me get this straight, you both like Louis and Zayn, who are actually my friends as of yesterday and who happen to be walking over here and will be here in 3...2...1."

"What's up Nialler?" Louis slapped my shoulder and grinned.

"Nothing much. How's that special assignment going?"

"Well I am about to find out. Hey ladies how are you?"

The girls muttered a good, Louis's confidence was depleting. I noticed Jessica was just blushing in the presence of Louis. I was going to made fun of this little situation. But Zayn caught my eye and tried talking.

"Come on girls, we know you better than this, you're the loud bunch that everyone can't help at laughing with."

Silence. Lily and Jessica were blushing too much and Sam didn't give a shit about their crushes.

"Guys, no offenses but what are you doing here?" Sam asked.

"Well we- we wanted to- I guess this is- ugh can I have the homework for Ms. Katune?" Louis stuttered. Eyebrows were raised. I was biting on my tongue to keep from laughing at Louis's failure at flirting.

"Ha. You do know you're asking the wrong person right? If anything, you should be asking Jess." Sam smirked and Jessica glared.

"Can I see the homework Jess?" He said again.

"I don't know Louis. I mean first off, how would I get it back? Its next period and I don't like cheating and it's a form of cheating and it's just really against myself and-"

"Ha, against yourself, says the girls who made the 'fandom' joke. C'mon Jess, he'll do it, add some wrong answers, and give it to you after lunch. Let loose for once." I said. She opened her mouth to object but I guess Louis flashed her an "award winning smile" and she slowly nodded.

When they walked away, Jessica and Lily squealed to themselves.

"You guys know they're staring at you two right now?" I laughed as they spun around and blushed when their crushes were in fact staring at them.

"Buggar off Niall." Jessica said. I raised my hands in surrender and got up to dump my trash. On my way back, I accidentally bump into someone. I look up and sigh when it's Harry. At least he doesn't seem to hate me anymore.

"Watch it, Horan." He hissed and shoved me. I lose my footing and fall into one of the tables. He chuckled at my well being and went back to talking to some girl. I take back my comment about him not hating me.

"Bipolar much? Seriously, what's your problem with me?" I got up and got right in his face, not really caring about the stares we were getting from other students.

"Nothing... fag." He muttered.

O__O I have no idea what I just wrote but I think it's good, right? I mean it's not as good as the first attempt, my computer shut down randomly to install updates and I lost all my work. So this is salvaged from memory. I'm sorry if it's terrible :/
From my mind to the computer keys to your eyes to read, I'm Jessica xx
