The Exchange Student {A Narry Fanfiction}

2. Music Class

Niall's POV

I've been in school for about 2 weeks now and it's going alright. The classes are incredibly boring, but hey, that's just what school is about. I even fell asleep during Maths, and it was so embarrasing because the teacher noticed and tried to wake me up but I didn't. Oops.

Today was friday and it was my last lession for the week, Music. I have really enjoyed the music lessons, since I'm very passionate about it. We have only been doing theory though, and it was quite boring, but today our teacher Mr Lotz said that we could play around if we wanted to since he had to do something else.

"Hey Horan, can you play anything?"

I turned around and faced Tristen who was sitting behind the drums. I got up from my seat and walked towards him.

"Yeah, I play the guitar a little bit", I answered shyly and took the guitar from it's place. I checked that it was tuned right and then I started to play "Little Things" by One Direction. Maryke had me learn it on guitar so she could sing along. She was actually quite a decent singer, while I really didn't want to sing. Mostly because I thought I suck and didn't want to humiliate myself. My mum on the other side had heard me in the shower and told me to go to Xfactor, because appearantly my voice was better than anything she has ever heard. But then again, she was my mum, and mum's are supposed to say that kind of stuff, so i didn't even think of going to Xfactor.

Tristen started to drum lightly to my picking and two girls in the front started singing the lyrics. It actually sounded really good and I thought that I could maybe sing along quietly, since they sang quite loud, being african girls you know. So when the chorus came, I sang. Not loud, but loud enough to hear since people were starting to look towards me and everyone went from talking and laughing to only listen to us. I was too into the music to even notice, and it was only when we had ended the song and everyone started clapping that I came out of my little world. I felt all my blood rush up in my face when I noticed what I had done.

"Holy shit, Niall. Your voice is awesome", Tristen said to me and gave me a big smile. I smiled slightly and said a quick thank you before putting down the guitar. All this attention really got to me and it scared me. I have to get out of here, right now. People were trying to talk to me and said how good I were but I couldn't breathe and I just pushed them away. I ran out of the classroom and outside, where I finally could breathe. I kept telling myself to calm down, I was acting like a pussy right now. I heard some foot steps come in my direction and I was too slow to react.

"Shit Niall what happened?", Tristen said while sitting down at the ground with me. He actually looked quite upset and worried.

"Nah, nothing really, I'm just very claustaphobic", I said and looked at him and smiled reassuring. He nodded and looked to the ground. He picked up a small stick and started breaking it in small pieces.

"You never told me you could sing", he stated and looked back up at me.

"Well, I can't really sing so why would I tell you?" I asked. I felt quite uncomfortable, because he was sitting very close to me and it just turned me on a little bit. I tried my best to calm down.

"Niall, are you serious? You sing better than anyone in this shitty school, and there's a lot of people who can sing." He looked at me and it felt like he saw right through me, through my soul. His eyes were so blue and the sun hit his face perfectly and I just wanted to lean in and k-

"Guys, there's a big emergancy! Let's skip school and go home to me! Now!" Maryke interrupted my thoughts (thank god, it could have been awkward).

"What's the buzz, Ryk?" Tristen asked and stood up from the ground. He offered me his hand to get up and I gladly accepted it.

"One Direction's consert's tickets are being sold in one hour, so come on!"

We walked fast to our home and Maryke got both her and my computer ready. We also had her dad's iPad and our phones. It was going to be sold at 2 p.m. and it was 1.56 p.m. now and she was totally freaking out. When it was 2 p.m. all three of us fought like crazy for the tickets. In the end we got 2 VIP tickets, we weren't quite sure if it was Meet and Greet-Tickets, but at least we got tickets.

In the evening we spoke to my host parents about the tickets and they accepted that we went to Cape Town to see them.

It was settled.

Maryke and I were going to Cape Town in 2 weeks to see One Direction.
