12. Crush Alert

Niall's POV

"Talent show?" I asked my surrounding friends, which meant everyone except Liam and Jessica.

Okay don't ask me why but everyone, meaning Harry's friends and mine were starting to mix. We were starting to eat lunch together after that one day. And I'm starting to notice how close Zayn and Lily are getting. The girls aren't noticing it but when I have the chance, I ask Zayno if they are dating.

He denies but it's bound to happen. So let's get back to the point, yeah?

"Why do you guys assume it's a great idea for me to audition for the talent show?" I said.

"We don't assume. A little birdie told us that you can sing." Sam smirked. I wondered who the heck has heard me sing- oh.

"Where is he?" Sam points in the direction of the yearbook room; I just love how she knows who I'm talking about.

"Don't murder him Niall; he's in the talent show too." She called after me.

I made my way to the yearbook room. I couldn't exactly say what I was feeling right now. I couldn't believe that Harry even remembered that I sang. And told the girls! YOU DON'T DO THAT!  Seriously if you tell them one thing that they don't already know, they will use it to my disadvantage! All these thoughts swam through my mind on that walk.

I got to the room and knocked on the doorframe, the door was open and I was watching Harry work on something. It's not creepy. I was just simply watching until he looks up and smiled. What that smile does to me. I almost forgot why I was here.

"Hey Ni. What are you doing here?" He says. I come into the room a bit before I answer.

"Just wanted to ask you something."

A bit of silence passes between us, I look into his eyes and surprise to find fear in them.

"Whoa what's wrong Haz? I was just going to ask you if you told the girls that I could sing! I have to audition for the talent show now."

"Oh. Ha-ha. Yeah sorry." He stuttered. I grabbed his arm and made him look at me.

"You okay?"

"Yep. Never better." He said in a false tone. I didn't push him, he could tell me on his own time.

"So um what cha working on?" I ask. His anxiety seems to fade as he starts explaining the senior project, in which the students must produce 20 pictures that would tell their life story.

"The Story of My Life is the theme this year." He said. (A/N I'm sorry ;) I just had to!)

"Nice theme. You came up with it?"

"Nah. Louis did."

"Louis is... very immature."

"Flamboyant."

"Loud."

"Serious."

"How on earth is Louis serious?"

And so for the rest of the morning before school, we got into this topic of our friends in general. The bell rang and I waited for him to pack up but he stayed where he was.

"I have this first period. I thought you knew." He said. I shook my head. "Oh well now you know. Good luck on talent show auditions today."

"Yeah. You too."

*****

"So you actually didn't bite his head off?! I sense some romance going on Horan, you were seething this morning!" Sam commented during fourth period later today. I rolled my eyes at that.
