Love The Nerd [N.H] ON HIATUS

Chapter 4

Clara's pov

After school I went straight to the library Ruby told me of, it was just around the corner. I wandered between the books in the aisle 'romantic novels' searching for a good one. Romantic books are my favourite, I barely read anything else.

In an hour I found a few interesting books. I sat down and read a few pages 'till something or better said someone caught my eyes.

Niall.

He's here too, he's in the horror aisle. What does he read? People who get killed? That doesn't fit him... I don't know, I wonder what kind of books he really enjoys to read. Should I go to him? I should.... I'm feeling brave I'm going to do this.

I grab my books and stand up, I wanted to go his way but he turned around and I looked directly away. I'm not feeling brave.... Acting like I was searching for a book, I trail my finger over the many shelves of books and grab one out. Sighing I turn back around to where Niall stood before, but he was already gone. I speed walked to the librarian desk to lend these books. On my way I just looked down at my flats, trying to ignore everyone and everything. I feel embarrassed towards myself. I was feeling brave. I thought I could do it. Why isn't it easy? It's so silly of me, I'm silly, a coward. Freaking cowa-- shit ********I hit something... more like a someone and now my books are all over the ground. Damn it.

"I-I'm s-sorry." I stutter as I bent down to the ground to grab them.

"No I'm sorry... I wasn't looking." He also bent down to help me. I recognized that voice, I couldn't quite place it. I heard it somewhere... just as I lift my head up and saw the glasses with that blonde hair, my cheeks turned into a light shade of pink and so did his. We just stared in each other's eyes. I didn't know what to say or do, I just smiled and slightly parted my lips to say something but nothing came out. We didn't speak a word as we walked past each other, away from each other. Effing coward that I am. I just face-slapped myself mentally.

"So close, Clara, so close! Why didn't you just say something?" I said to myself as I walked out the library. Frustrated I texted my aunt if she could pick me up since I've got no car. She's probably already back from work.

As i'm back home I walk straight up my room and blast some music from Justin Bieber's second album. I love his voice the most on this album. "Fetus". I turned on my laptop and while it's opening up I change into some comfy clothes. Joggers and a top. I log onto tumblr and post some things that had has happened today. It's like my online diary. Only telling strangers my story looks less embarrassing than telling people I know.

After I post the events of the day---which includes Niall and my comments from teachers--- something in my pocket begins to vibrate. I take out my mobile and see Rose is calling me. I slide the green symbol to answer the phone.

"Hello." I mutter into it while turning the music down.

"Hey there! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out?" she said excited. This I'm not used to it. People want to hang out with me? People only wanted to 'hang out' if they needed to copy homework. It's not bad making new friends, It's quite fun getting to know new people.

I looked at the time and it wasn't too late. "Uh, sure. Like now?"

"Yes!"

"Okay.. At your place?"

"No. No... I mean my house is a mess, let's meet in the... park? Yes the park!" She sounded a bit weird but I didn't go further on it. There wouldn't be like a problem, right?

"Uh.. yeah okay. That's fine." I say. "See you in a bit?"

"Yes see ya!"

"Bye." I place my mobile back in my pocket. I'm just going to say it to my aunt before I go.
