My Good Luck Charm

Chapter 37

I woke up from the sound of the tv blaring through the small dorm room. Olivia sat on the edge of her bed, looking in the mirror as she did her makeup, and glanced at the tv. I sat up, before rubbing my eyes and checking my phone for the time.

7:30.

Of course, today out of all days I'm running late. I'm usually organized, and planned ahead... I jumped out of bed, and chose and outfit for the day. A simple, grey hoodie and skinny jeans to go. Olivia nearly laughed at me. I shot her a glare. She turned back to the mirror, as she added lip gloss.

"I wanted to tell you something" She said, and placed her lip gloss in her bag and sat on my bed. I looked at her, gesturing for her to speak.

"I seen you with your boyfriend yesterday" I smiled at the word "boyfriend." Olivia looked down in her lap, and pointed to the tv where I seen 'Niall Horan' in big letters, followed by a picture of him. I was confused, until I heard his name mentioned, and what the situation was about. A lady, dressed in a casual day dress spoke about him.

"So, we caught some pictures of Niall and his girlfriend a few months ago, and the mall." The tv spoke through the room, then showing pictures of Niall and I, from when we went to the mall.. Olivia's head shot in my direction. "That's you!" She spoke. I nodded, and tried to see where this show is going to go.

"That poor girl, I wonder what's going through her head." Another reporter said, and Olivia muted the tv.

"What the hell is that about!" I shouted, and pointed at the tv. What does this mean? What's supposed to be going through my mind?

"Before you ever even woke up, it showed pictures of Niall with some other blonde girl..." My heart stopped. No, this can't be happening. I felt my entire body get numb, and I had to sit on the tiny bed in front of me. She placed her hand on my back, and tried to sooth me. Fantastic way to start the day.

I sat in math class, waiting for the professor as a girl took a seat next to me. Thoughts were still running through my head. Did Niall actually cheat on me? Or is it just photoshopped? No, they wouldn't just put fake pictures of Niall and some other girl on tv.

"Hey." The girl next to me, said. Her voice joyous, and happy. I turned to her, and she had dark, brown hair, almost like my moms.. I wonder how she was doing anyways.

"Hello" I tried to make my voice not noticeable that I have been crying in between classes. She looked slightly worried and confused, but that look ran away immediately.

"I'm Jessica, just call me Jess though" Jessica said, with a bright smile. I forced one, but nothing came. "I'm Ariana" She smiled again, and nodded before the professor came in. I didn't recognized him, it wasn't the same one from previous days.

"Class, I'm your substitute professor for three days" I rolled my eyes, is bad luck supposed to be happening to me on purpose?

"Please pull out your books, and continue the work from yesterday on page seventy."

Great, the most boring work that we're receiving too. I pulled out my binder, and flipped to the assigned page.

I glanced at the clock.

11:30

This class is going by terribly slow.

Maybe it's just how I'm always thinking of Niall. I have to call him, before I go for lunch... No Ariana, he cheated, let him call. Why would he cheat anyways?!

I ran my fingers through my hair, and tried to focus on my work. Soon enough, class was finally over. I quickly packed up my stuff and got up to leave, until the professor called my name. What now.

"Miss Brock, I have a note here for you someone handed me." The professor handed me the small piece of paper. It had messy, handwriting but I still recognized who's it was. Niall's.

*Meet me at the café just off of campus, around 12:35 xx*

I smiled at the professor and made my way out. What could. Niall possibly want? I put my books in my bag, and spotted Jessica leaning against the wall.

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch?" She asked me.

"I would love to, but I'm meeting up with my boy-" Boyfriend? Are we still even dating?

Jessica smiled and nodded. Then her eyes went wide. "Aren't you dating that Niall guy?" Great. I slowly nodded. "I heard he's a really nice guy. Well I won't keep you from your date with him, have fun!" Jessica smiled, and ran off with her other friends.

I slipped on my sunglasses and made my way to the small coffee shop. As I walked in the parking lot, I noticed Niall's range rover parked in front of the cafe. I walked in, and seen him in the back, glasses in and paying attention to his phone. I began getting nervous, not knowing what to say. I walked up to him, and sat in the booth.

"Hey" He looked up, and smiled. Gosh, I could easily forget what I have to yell at him about whenever he smiles.

"Hey babe, I missed you" He reached across the table and planted a small kiss on my lips, which made me smile in response. I fiddled with the coffee cup that Niall got, as I try to think of what to say to him. I want to bring up how he apparently cheated. Then, I'm scared of how he'll react. He has gotten much more aggressive since he's been taking lessons from Josh. Niall never got into fights with anyone, and he did just a few weeks ago.

"Niall.. Can I ask you something?" I finally stepped up. Yes I'm scared shitless right now, but I have to know the truth.

"Are you cheating on me?" His facial expression didn't look like he wanted to say no.
