Afraid//Punk Niall Horan

Chapter One

Today I was roaming the hallways of the high school I'd just been transferred to. People stared at me. It was weird.

Then someone pushed me and all my books fell to the floor. A boy with tattoos, blonde hair, piercings, and ray bands kneeled down and helped pick up my books.

"I'm sorry for pushing you." He said

"Really its fine." I state

I look up to see 4 more tattooed boys, waiting for the blonde boy to hurry up.

"I'm Niall Horan." He says handing me my books.

"I'm Vanessa Shepherd." I smiled taking my books.

"Well I have to go but I'll see you around right?" He said raising his eyebrow.

"Ya you will." I smile and nod. "Bye." I said.

"Bye." He waved and walked away with the other 4 boys.

"Dude she was so hot! You need to get that!" The boy with brown curly hair said.

"No Harry. I have Barbara." Niall stated.

"Screw Barbara! Take her in! Your gonna be in collage next year and can fool around with any girl you want. Take her!" One with black hair said.

"Shut up Zayn." Niall playfully pushed him into a locker.

I walked to my Math class and saw the 5 boys sitting next to one another. They all told Niall to look towards the door. He looked up and he had icy blue eyes that eat away at your soul.

"Vanessa." He said smiling. He then came and got my books and put them on the desk next to his.

"Vanessa these are my friends Louis, Zayn, Harry, and Liam." He points to each of them as they all eyeball me.

Whats so hot about at me? Maybe its my nose piercing? Not sure.

"Hi I'm Vanessa." I wave and sit down next to them.

"Yes Niall, yes." Louis said biting his bottom lip nodding his head.

He's cute. But Harry didn't stop staring at me.

"Ow. What the fuck was that for?" Harry says grabbing his shin. He's looking at Niall.

"Hey Vanessa, do you want to go on at date later tonight?" I was not expecting Niall to ask me out.

"Um." I bite my bottom lip and look away. I can feel the redness in my cheeks.

"Well, I'll take that as a no." He says turing away from me. Way to make me feel like shit.

"No its just that we just met and I want to get to know you before anything were to get to serious." I smile as he turns around.

"Nobody gets to know me and nobody ever get to serious with me. So a date would be dinner, sex then I never talk to you again. You choose." I sallow the hard lump in my throat.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." I say. I pick up my books and walk away to move my seat. Then someone grabs my arm. Niall.

"I'm sorry. I'm a dick and I never really thought to give anyone a chance. The last time I did...." His voice trails off and he stares down at the floor.

"Its fine I guess. Just please leave me alone." I say pulling my arm from his grip. I take a seat in the back of the class.

It was hard to focus with Niall staring at me the whole time. As soon as the bell rang I ran. But it didn't do much.

"Vanessa! Please wait." He call out. But I pretend I didn't hear him. Then I'm whipped around and thrown against a locker. Pain shoots up my spine.
