Our Little Secret | n.h

Chapter Nine

Elaina's POV

I don't know how, but i forgave Niall. I was mad because i thought he was too busy with his friends to even talk to me. Who would talk to me? I wouldn't be surprised if Niall left me too. I was walking to school, i wish i hadn't come today but i needed the grades. I walked through the doors of the school, i sighed. I wish i was home schooled. That way i don't have to worry about friends or anything. No drama, no one picking on me.. but still i would be alone like always. My mum thinks it's best to make friends so i'm not alone. She doesn't know that i always am alone.

I was too caught up in my thoughts to see where i am going. I accidentally bumped into someone. I am so clumsy. I looked up and i see a girl who i made drop her books.

"Oh i am so sorry, i can be very clumsy" I said, helping her pick up her books.

"No i'm sorry, I wasn't looking where i was going" The girl said, i gave her the books.

"What's your name, i'm Lucy" Lucy asked. She seemed like a nice girl. Almost like a nerd but she's too pretty for one. She has long brown wavy hair and wore a white tanktop with a black skirt that goes up the waist and she wore glasses.

"Oh i'm Elaina" I told her.

"You look like a popular girl, wait are you friends with Haley?" She asked.

"Oh no way, i'm far from popular. I'm just a nerd i guess. And no way she hates my guts" I laughed.

She laughed too "yeah she looks like a wannabe. I hate her, anyways would you like to be friends?"

"Of course, oh what's your first class?" I asked her.

"Literature with Ms. Garcia" She said.

"Wait you have a class with me? How come i never see you?" I asked her.

"Oh i sit in the back of the class, i don't have any friends in that class" She said shyly.

"Well you can sit with me" I smiled.

She smiled too and we walked to class together. We talked about each other, turns out we have a lot in common. It's great to finally make a friend besides Niall and his friends.She stopped me in the middle of the hallway.

"Why did we stop?" I asked her.

"See that boy over there? His name is Ashton. He's super cute and he plays in a band. He plays the drums. He's amazing" She sighed looking at him. The boy, i mean Ashton was leaning against a wall, wearing a band t-shirt and some ripped skinny jeans. His hair is curly and sorta dirty blonde. His hair is lifted up a bit as if he ruffled through them. She's right he is a cutie.

"Why don't ya go talk to him?" I asked Lucy, smiling.

"No way, he'd probably walk away from me or even worse insult me" She told me.

"It can't be that bad. C'mon he seems really nice. I'll see you in Lit, tell me everything" I told her and walked off.

"Wait Eli! Oh okay fine, it's worth a shot" I hear her say. That's my girl. I love helping people get the ones they like. But i can't even walk 5 feet within where my crush is. I walked into my first class, Zayn already in his seat tapping away on his phone. I sat near an empty desk so Lucy can sit next to me. Lucy comes in smiling and sees me. She quickly sits down next to me.

"Oh my god, he talked to me!" She exclaimed.

"That's great!" I smiled.

"He said i seemed like a cool person and he wants to hang out later!" She said happily.

"Oh i am happy for you Lucy!" I told her, grinning happily.

She smiled at me then class started. I was bored out of my mind that i could just jump out the window. Class was finally over and i said goodbye to Lucy, too bad we only have one class together. The school day went by fast luckily. I went ot my locker to put away my books. I put on my sweater and headed out. Come to think of it, i haven't seen Niall all day. I wonder what happened to him. I saw his friends outside the school as usual.

I walked up to them "Hey have you guys seen Niall?" I asked them.

"Unfortunately no he hasn't been at school all day" Liam said.

"We'll let you know if we see him, he hasn't texted or called any of us. He's usually at school everyday" Louis added.

"As Louis said, we'll let you know. Try calling him" Harry also added.

"And let us know if you hear from him, he's acting pretty strange for some reason. Like he barely talks to us after school anymore. He just runs out" Zayn said. I nodded and said thank you to them. That so unlike of Niall. He doesn't seem the type to just avoid his friends. I should call him.

I got home as soon as i can. "Hello sweetie, i'm off to work. I'll be home to make dinner" My mum told me as she kissed my head. I said my goodbye and ran upstairs. I grabbed the phone and dialed Niall's number. After two rings, he answers.

"Hello?" Niall said through the phone, he sounds like he's in pain.

"Hi Niall, i was just checking up on you. Are you alright? You weren't at school today" I asked him.

"Yeah i'm fine, just sick. Thanks for checking up on me. I just have a cold" Niall said. I believed him, he does sound sick, but also like he's been beaten up.

"Alright then, talk to you tomorrow bye" I told him, he said bye and hung up. I didn't want to pressure him with questions. I decided to take a nap, somehow i can't forget about Niall.
