Half a Heart

starts now..

Steffanies P.O.V

Here I am once again... At school, in the toilets, doing my make-up, fixing my hair and switching up my outfit. The outfit I'm changing into is all different colours and patterns, except for my shoes; they are just one colour. They are a dark red colour, just like dried blood. To finish off my look, I have redish-pink lipstick on and sharp brown eyebrows. I feel much more confident in this than in the girly pink and white outfit with no make-up which my parents ordered me to wear. Sadly, all the people that walked passed me on my way to school have already seen that outfit. But if I get a little lucky, no one from my school saw it and that is the part that counts.

When I'm done, I take my school bag and walk to my first class. Unfortunately it's science. In my science class, there's this boy... My best friend. I hate him! Not because he has done something wrong... well... he has done ONE thing wrong... he chose her!

I walked past my classmates and Niall, my best friend, who tried to get my attention, but I ignored his stare and looked away. I regret it, because all I want is to be friends with him again. But I can't. 

I saw my best friend Alinia who said 'hi' to me as I passed her. I responded to her of course, and then took my seat as the lesson started. Mr Gabbison, my teacher, started a movie that was about the moon. It was pretty interesting, but after ten minutes, I couldn't concentrate, so I started to draw little doodles like smiley faces and stuff onto my notepad. The movie lasted for 30 minutes and then the lesson was over.

Niall grabbed my arm as I passed him to leave class and whispered that we needed to talk. I stayed quiet and, after a moment when I didn't reply, he continued "after school at my place." I still said nothing as I watched him leave class, heading to his locker.

Nialls P.O.V

After the lesson, I grabbed Steff's arm and whispered that we needed to talk, and that she should come to my place after school. She didn't say anything, but I knew she knew exactly what it was all about.

After school, I went home to find Louis and Zayn standing in my kitchen. I was happy to see them but also confused as to why they were there. I asked what them what they were doing there, and they just said that they missed me. I laughed and told them that I missed them too. But I had to tell them that Steffanie was coming over, so they'd have to leave.

"We will be quiet, we promise! we will stay in your bedroom." they said in unison, and, after thinking it over quickly, I nodded and agreed to let them stay.

I was so nervous! Steff and I haven't talked for so long, and in a few minutes we will finally talk again! 

Taking a deep breath, I calmed my nerves just as I heard the doorbell ring. I walked too the door and opened it, and, as I had expected, Steff stood on the other side.
