*Nikita's P.O.V.*

"How was school today?" Auntie Anne asked me while we ate dinner.

"It was interesting to say the least. People kept whispering behind my back and Anthony Wilson was more of an arsehole than usual. At least things are better between Niall and I"

"You guys are friends again?" Gemma asked.

"I honestly don't know what we are"

"Why? Did he hit on you?" Harry asked.

"Sort of"

"What do you mean 'sort of'?" He asked.

"He kissed me"

"What?!" They exclaimed. Gemma and Auntie Anne seemed happy for me. Harry, on the other hand, was pissed.

"I'll kill him" he added.

"Why would you do a thing like that?" Auntie Anne asked him.

"Because he kissed her!"

"So? That's not a good reason. It's not like he did something wrong" she pointed out.

"But-"

"But nothing, Harry, you're overreacting" she said, shutting him up.

*Niall's P.O.V.*

"About fucking time" Louis said when I told him about this afternoon.

"Now I've got to figure out a way to ask her out"

"I'm sure you'll figure something out" he said. "I'm surprised you're going to ask her out. A few months ago you wouldn't even admit that you like her"

"I didn't want to believe it because I'm not good enough for her. She deserves someone who can be open with her, I can't fucking do that"

"You think you can't do that" Louis retorted, taking a drag on his joint.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you've been opening up to her more than you have with anyone else" he told me.

He did have a point. Nikita knows me better than anyone. That's what scares me.

"I know, I don't understand why. It's so easy to open up to her"

"I feel the same way about Eleanor" he told me.

The next day, I was a little late for my Spanish class. I walked into the classroom and saw Nikita talking to a guy sitting in front of her. Zayn.

I don't know what they were talking about, but she appeared to be enjoying the conversation. They were both laughing when I sat down.

"Zayn, this is Niall. Niall, this is Zayn" Nikita said, introducing us.

"Nice to meet you, mate" he replied. I've never spoken to him before, but I already don't like him.

I ignored him, staring at him with a blank expression so he knows I don't like him.

"I'm sorry, he's not usually this rude" she said, emphasizing the word 'rude' so I knew her comment was directed towards me. "Are you staying over this weekend?" She asked him, I clenched my fists.

"Yeah, Harry got a new video game and he invited Liam and I to play all weekend"

Luckily, Mr. Lawrence walked in, cutting their conversation short. Zayn turned around, listening to our teacher. Nikita wrote something down in her notebook before casually sliding it over to me.

'Why were you so rude to Zayn?'

'I don't like him.' I wrote back.

'You don't even fucking know him!'

'Maybe not, but I know that I don't like him.'

She rolled her eyes before working on our Spanish assignment.
