Chapter One

Chapter 25

Ella's POV

I didn't know what to do, should I tell Niall or not? Would he get upset or even angry? I didn't want to upset him at all, I loved him...

He was so engrossed by the food that was being cooked and explained in front of him, he didn't even notice my cold attitude throughout the class, to which he would most usually notice straight away.

I didn't want to sneak about behind his back or drop the news on him at the last minute, but in m defence I had asked him if he could help me with the work given, however he was unable to. I presume he had assumed that I had just asked some random person in my class for their book, well that's what I presumed anyway, no one could understand that boy.

Niall's POV

Wow! That food, just watch how it's sizzling in the pan, I would probably wish for an endless supply of food if I had one wish...wow that would be something.

Snapping out of my food daydreams that seem to happen a lot during this lesson, probably being one of the questions why the teacher of the class always fed the food to me afterwards as a taster, I noticed Ella seemed distant and unusually uncomfortable.

"What's up Ella?" I asked her in a whisper so that the teacher wouldn't shout and I wouldn't be on her bad side, and not be fed the food made at the end of the lesson.

"N-n-nothing Niall, I'll talk to you later about it, it's not important," she replied a little hastily for her usual voice.

Slinking back into my chair and probably assuming it was her time of the month as she and probably the whole female population got grumpy and short tempered during that "period"...wow Niall you just made a joke without even realising, I am proud of myself I thought whilst awkwardly beaming. God people that are looking at me now must think I'm some sort of freak, well what can I say, I most probably am.

Ella's POV

When Niall had asked me what was up, I hadn't known what to say and had panicked giving him short and snappy answers, that I could tell as soon as i'd said them had hurt him.

These answers however had bought me more time and given me chance to think of a way to explain the situation to him that he would understand and not be angry or upset at me for, as I couldn't bare falling out with Niall as he was my best friend and boyfriend! I still can't believe I had got so lucky though as it still wasn't wearing off.

As the bell rang for the end of the lesson, the class did as it always had, and scooped up their belonging and pushed each other out the way to head towards their next two lessons before lunch. I saw Niall out the corner of my eye slinking off towards the table to where the bowls of Mexican traditional dishes were situated. Everyone knew that when Niall turned up late to his third lesson it was because of the food in his previous lesson, and although he argued that he had to speak to the teacher about his cooking in class, everybody in the classroom, even the teacher, knew the real reason,

After the next two lessons had passed slowly, the time for lunch had appeared and it was time to speak to Niall about tonight. Good luck to myself!
