As usual, Jack has already parked his car in front of my house when I close the front door behind me. He is here to pick me up, and I bet he has been waiting for me to finally show up. A few weeks ago, he decided it was about time I ride with him, instead of taking the bus every morning. I didn't say no to his offer since a car is a lot more comfortable than a stupid bus.

"Moooorning." I cheer when I open the door on the passenger side and hop in.

"What's wrong?" He glares at me and turns the engine off. I guess he instantly noticed my mood change the second he spotted me coming out of the house. Yes I'm wearing a massive smile on my face. Other than yesterday when I was busy with crying, not all day but let's say most of it.

"What do you mean? I'm in a good mood." I wink at him and signalise him to go and start driving. I don't want to come late to school, now that I'm excited to go for once.

"Are you on drugs? You are. Get out of the car." He shakes his head in disbelief and furrows his eyebrows but I can see he has to held in the smile which is about to appear on his face.

"I'm not on drugs. That's Tom." I joke. Okay something must be clearly wrong with me when I can make jokes about Tom. That boy ruined my "almost-existing relationship" with Niall.

"You need help. Like professional help." Jack mutters but eventually starts the engine to bring the both of us to school. Okay no smile from Jack. He didn't get my joke. Idiot.

"I don't. You're my help. That's already enough." I jam to the music which is played on the radio. Nothing can ruin my day. Nothing. Not even that voice coming out of the radio after the song is finished.

"The lads of One Direction will be here this afternoon. They will present their first single and have a chat with the one and only Scott Mills. Don't miss out."

Their first single? No. This must be a fucking joke. I knew they got signed by Simon Cowell but I didn't know they've already recorded a single, which will be played on the radio soon, no not soon, today. And I have a feeling that that particular song will haunt me down. I know it. I bet it's going to be played everywhere.

Jack must have seen the shocked expression on my face. He leans forward to turn the radio off before he continues driving. I can't say anything right now. Oh how I wish I would still be part of Niall's life. Not only because of that stupid song coming out soon but to know what is happening in his life. To be there for him if he needs someone to talk to and to enjoy the happy moments with him. But he is not alone. He has four friends who would do anything for him, especially Liam and Harry.

"You want to have a listening party later? You know we can have a coffee and listen to the song and the interview together. I know you want to and you better not do it alone." Jack laughs, full on laughing. Nice friend.

"I will think about it." He's right. There's no way I would not listen to the boys on the radio, even if I don't want to.

The rest the drive to our school is quiet. Neither one of us says a word. I guess Jack is scared to say something wrong and I'm on the other hand don't know what to say at all. I keep thinking about Niall and the rest of the boys and about how far they've come. It's all happening so fast, and I bet there's still tons of fans from the X-Factor days out there, who will support the boys no matter if the songs turns out to be shitty or indeed good. I don't know what to expect. I doubt it's a ballad, though. It seems like they prefer a catchy up-tempo number or something like that. I should start to prepare myself. Not only for the song but for the interview as well. I haven't heard Niall's voice in ages plus we all know that interviews and Niall don't fit together.
