It's been a few weeks since that fight. I explained everything to the principle and he understood. It seems as though I'm not the first person to come from Yorkson to here. I found out that that Robert guy was from Yorkson. We've been having meetings with a few other students about what we've overcome since we've left that school.

I always assumed I was the only one getting picked on, but I'm not and I'm sure there are still people there who are getting what we got.

I also was starting to get letters from colleges. Niall got into the one he wanted and will be going to school with Liam and Sara. I wasn't accepted to a few and others I was but they didn't offer me enough money.

I found one letter in the mail for a school that is about a half hour from Niall's. I tried so hard for this one.

I wrote an essay about my hero and got a recommendation letter from Niall's mom. My application was jam packed with all the things I volunteered for. I've gotten a few scholarships offered to me. I just need a good amount offered and financial aid. I prayed this school could do that. I'm not too sure how far I could actually be from Niall.

I was still in my pajamas because it was a Saturday afternoon. I ripped open the letter and read the first line. My eyes widened and I continued reading. I ran up the stairs to Niall room and jumped onto his bed.

"I got in! I got in!" I jumped onto my knees.

Niall was now fully awake trying to figure out what was going on. I handed him the letter.

"You did it!" He pulled me in for a kiss. "I'm so proud of you!"

"I'll be close to you." I smiled.

"Yes you will." He wiggled his brows and pulled me onto him.

"With what they offered and my other scholarships I should be able to afford it." I rested on his chest. "It's going to work out."

He rubbed my back and I realized he was just in his boxers, so my face started heating up. I lifted the covers to get under with him but he slapped them down.

"Babe, I'm naked."

I guess I was wrong, no boxers either. I started to back away.

"It's not like you haven't seen it." He chuckled. "Just let me put something on."

He was about to get up but I quickly, picked up a pair of shorts he had on the floor and shoved them into his arms. He shook his head and laughed. He pulled them on and removed the blanket.

"Come here now!" He patted the spot next to him.

I crawled back and sat beside him. "Sorry didn't mean to barge in."

"You're my girlfriend it's alright. At least I wasn't jacking off or anything." He put his arm around my shoulder.

"I would have died of embarrassment."

He laughed at me and turned the TV on. "You're too cute."

The door swung open and Harry barged in. "Your mom let me in." He said. "Hi Opal." Before I could say anything he sat down on the bed and continued. "I need your help, Niall! I need to get a date to prom and I was going to ask Haley but she's bringing some Gary dude."

"That's her new boyfriend, Harry." I told him and he sighed.

"I know and I waited too long. It's whatever. I just can't go to prom alone." He complained.

"Ask Megan?" Niall said.

"Nope she's going with Louis and Tia is going with Zayn. I knew that relationship was bound to happen." He laughed.

"Then ask Chelsea?" Niall suggested.

"No way! We don't get along at all."

"I know a girl that might go with you." I said. "She's in my group thing. Her name is Vera."

Harry looked at me. "I don't know her though. I want to go with someone I know."

"Then get to know her! She's really lovely. She's a bit guarded but a boy like you would do her some good." I patted his knee. "Just go on a date with her. Niall and I will go."

"I don't know..." Harry dragged.

"You don't have to. You could always go to prom alone..."

"Fine, but if she hates me, I'm blaming you." He points to me.

"You're a looker and a charmer I'm sure you'll do fine." I smiled.

"Thanks guys. I'll go now." He stood up. "Let me know when you ask her." He started to walk out. "I'll let you go back to your business." He winked and shut the door.

I rolled my eyes. "Ew."

"Hey." Niall acted offended. "Doing stuff with me is 'ew'?"

"Yep. So disgusting." I joked.

"Rude. You know you liiiiike it." He teased, pinning me down on the bed.

"Maybe just a little."

"Like how little?"

I held up my hand a made a small space between my thumb and index finger. "This little."

"No." He laughed, sitting back and spreading his arms. "This much I'm sure."

"Eh." I shrugged. "Probably."

"Want to do it again?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Sorry can't. Gotta go call Vera." I pushed him off. "Rain check baby." I winked.
