"Lily you gotta get up." Niall whispered in my ear as he shook me to wake up for school.

I moaned. "I'll skip."

"You skipped a day last week, I don't want you to miss school again." He sighed.

I rubbed my eyes and stood up against my headboard. "I want to hang out with you though."

"You can't just miss school to be with me, I can take care of myself without you here you know." He stated harshly.

Why was he acting like this?

"Niall, what the heck?"

"I'm sorry, okay? Your going to get yourself kicked out of high school if you keep babying me." He said walking across the room as he waved his hands everywhere.

"Fine. I'll go to school if you don't want me here." I said in a low voice as I gave him a mean look and walked to get clothes out of my closet.

"Lily you know that's not what I meant-"

"Save it." I interrupted.

"Listen to me." He said as he walked over to me and grabbed my shoulders. His grip on me was firm as his eyes peered into me. "I care about you okay? And I don't want me to be reason you ruin your life."

I just stared at him. His eyes - they were so, so - I can't explain it. I never noticed how gorgeous they were. Niall? Did I just think Niall had gorgeous eyes?

His hands were still firmly grasping my shoulders, and we stared at each other in silence. Swallowing hard, Niall stepped back and muttered, "You should probably get ready." He started looking at the ground and scratching the back of his head.

I nodded and walked into the bathroom.

Well that was awkward.
