Good Enough

Chapter 37: I Wish

Niall POV

A/N: This takes place the same day Harry and Eve are on the roof.

"Dani, this is stupid." I informed her. Dani looked up from the sign that she was painting, questioning what was stupid. Obviously this whole scenario. What Dani had planned out was an intricate plan to get the Eve and I back together. Which I didn't 100% agree with, but I didnt exactly disagree.

"You're stupid. You realized you're madly in love with a girl months after you reject her." She spat out harshly. Luckily, I was used to her rude remarks. "And trust me dude, this thingy is going to get her attention. Especially cause it's you and stuff. She'll either be pissed as heck or think it's a joke." She informs me as if I am not to know. I walk over to Dani, who was connecting lights to the sign and making it as bright as the sun. I nudge her in the head just to make sure that she's listening.

"But what do I do if she talks to me?" I question. She gives me a look as if I am stupid. Her eyebrows raise in a sense of her not believing my inability to connect the dots which, for the record I have connected.

"Just go with it. And don't insult her." Dani goads on. "Trust me dude, I've got this whole flow chart thing planned out for every possible outcome. This plan will work. We just need phase 1." She explains, earning a confused expression from me.

Step one of this was to let Eve know I was in love with her. Which is exactly what Dani was planning as we spoke.

The flaw in that plan she failed to see was Harry.

I left Dani to do her work, what ever it is and left for school. I simply wanted to get there as early as possible so I wouldn't have to face Eve and Harry being all lovey dovey. God knows what that does to me. I walk outside to the cool spring breeze. From a few doors down, I hear a door close.

A boy, no older than me walks out of the door. He had brown hair and glasses wearing the same uniform as me. Looked like a big nerd, yet despite that he seemed very familiar. I shrugged that off and walked towards him. He noticed me and gave me a half smile. I see no harm in walking to school with him.

"New?" I asked the boy. He nodded timidly. He looked at my features and gasped slightly.

"Aren't you...Niall?" He asked me. I nodded. I felt like the whole world now knows about everything I went through with Eve. Either this guy has seen me in school or he's a Yin-Yang fan.

"The guy Eve had a crush on before dating Harry?" He presses on further. I nod. The boy tenses and I can already feel the air tensing. I decide not to ask why, instead I give him a smile and in return he smiles back. I feel as if the boy is about to ask more questions, so I decide to let him so we can get this over with.

"I know you want to ask questions, so just go ahead." I inform him. His eyes look up at me curiously, as if asking if it is ok for me to be doing this. But finally, he speaks up.

"How do you feel about Eve?" He pries cautiously. I saw the curiousity in his eyes and as much as I wanted to answer him I didn't know if I could bring myself to say it out loud.

Eve had changed within the one year we were apart. Her bubbly aura still remained, and she seemed significantly happier than the last time I saw her which was probably Harry's doing. She had, in a sense- grown up.

Yet, there was still something lurking within her. Something that I only seemed to notice. Maybe it was because I had it too.

She was still uncomfortable around me almost like before. Although, the reason was not the one I would like to think it was. It was no longer because she loved me, it was the opposite of that. She acted in such a manner because I had broken her heart.
