38. Prank Week Pt. 1

Niall's POV

I spent the rest of the week pacing at every chance that I could get, I still couldn't believe that I dreamed every little kiss, confession, everything. For the rest of the week, I was slowly going crazy. I stayed home and basically complemented my life. What has my life come to? Am I really so in love with Harry that I had to dream my own version of him declaring his love to me?

I sighed and quickly got ready for school, it was a new week, just one more week until the talent show and then Jessica and I could finally break up. I may seem selfish and rude and inconsiderate, but I honestly cannot wait until we break up so that I can do something I should have done when I first realized my feelings for my best friend.

As I drive to school, I think of how incredible stupid I am and why couldn't I just man up and tell Harry any way.

Because he's straight.

Yes, thank you conscious, thank you for telling me something I already know. I just sigh and park the car and head inside the school. It looks deserted and I bet you anything that tumbleweed will come rolling out of nowhere if I wait here long enough. Well I did wait and it wasn't tumbleweed that came out, but it was Harry. He smiled as he spotted me and ran up to give me a hug. I almost forgot that he was keeping secrets from me. Keyword: almost.

I wanted to shove him off of me, but I was too weak emotionally and physically to do a thing but he let me go and dragged me to the yearbook room. I wanted to protest but he pushed the door open and suddenly he was covered in this white glob and everyone inside started laughing their heads off.

"Oh lord that was totally worth mixing up the glob late last night!!" Jessica and Sam said in between their giggles. Harry wiped the glob from his eyes and hair. He looked at me and opened his arms.

"Do you want a hug Nialler?" He asked and stepped closer to me.

"NOPE!" I yelled and dashed behind Liam and Jessica. Everyone in the room laughed and Harry left to clean himself up.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" I said loud enough so someone could hear me.

"You are so out of the loop Horan," Ashley giggled and picked up the bucket that held a pungent aroma so strong and disgusting, I can only imagine how long it was going to stay on Harry when he tried washing it out.

"It's prank week Mr. Horan, and Harry was the start of this glorious week." She said.

"You can pair or team up with other people or you can plot out your revenge on a certain someone." Jessica smirked and nodded her head in the direction of Maddie, not a mere five feet away from where we stood.

"I think I will pass for right now. That smell is making me want to throw up. What was in that bucket anyways?"

"Water based paint, week old gravy, some pancake batter, a little bit of secret sauce and spices and last but not but least, rotten foods. It was not fun making that last night and now my entire flat smells like this stuff. But the look on Harry's face was absolutely priceless!" Sam and Jessica chattered and I chuckled. I heard a door squeak open and Harry was back, squeaky clean.

Or well as clean as he could get with that mess being dumped on him.

"Gee thanks guys, you promise you won't prank me this year and I end up being the first prank of the week. Do you know how hard it is to live this down?? Pretty freaking hard people!!" he nearly shouts but stops himself.

The bell rings and everyone packs up, I almost forget that school hasn't started yet, we were all so wrapped up in the prank world that no one noticed. I wait for Jessica to finish and when she does, we walk hand in hand out of there. But no sooner had we rounded a corner and out of sight of everyone, she drops my hand and runs. I shrug it off and just hope that she's having a little bit of a bad day.
