School had ended quicker than I expected. And luckily, Zayn, Liam, and Harry stayed away from me for the rest of the day. But, they did give me some strange looks and I saw them start talking about something while I was at my locker. They were probably talking about me now that I think about it. But I didn't let that bother me.
During lunch, I was sitting at a table alone. But then I saw Niall looking for a table to sit and tried to wave him over but he ignored me and went over to a couple of guys instead. I had no idea if that meant that he had forgotten about me already. I mean, that's usually how everything goes with me so I wouldn't be surprised if that was his reason. Ugh, why am I even thinking about this? I'm making such a big deal out of all of this. Nothing really happened between us.
I walked and safely made it home. All in one piece.
I decide to do my homework because I really did not want to end up staying up all night to finish work and get stressed out.
I go upstairs and start doing my homework on my bed. When I open up my pencil case to get a pencil, I see a folded piece of paper inside. I pulled it out and read what it said:
Text me? ;) -Niall
My heart skipped a beat. Niall wanted me to text him. I quickly drew out my phone and typed in Niall's number which was written on the other side of the note. I wanted to talk to him so badly. I mean, we barely knew eachother, I admit that, but he did help me out when no one else did.
After I finish typing in his number, I typed in the message box:
Hey, I got your note ;)
I look at the text and then deleted the wink face. It made me look like I want to hook up with him which is not true. I had no idea how I would start this conversation out. I didn't want to sound weird but I didn't want to sound emotionless either.
Wow, my life has really come to me almost having a nervous breakdown because I have no idea how to start a conversation with a guy who I only met today. Well, not really a nervous breakdown but you get what I mean.
I groan and fall back onto my pillow.
Then I finally decide on just a simple sentence:
Hey, it's Brooke :)
I held my breath as I saw it send and it soon read "Delivered" under my text. I quickly shut my phone off and threw it onto the end of my bed. Well, at least that's over.
I go back to doing my homework but in my head, all I could think about was when would Niall reply back. It was taunting me so much.
About two hours later, I finish my homework and Niall still hadn't replied back and my heart felt like it was about to burst. Why isn't he replying back? And the thought of how he could have been playing a joke on me comes to my head. It probably is a joke. I lose my hope in trying to start something out with Niall.
But then, I feel my phone vibrating against my mattress and my text tone starts to play. I snatch my phone and checked who it was.
It was him.
I entered my passcode and looked at what he said:
Hey, look's like ya got my note! Haha. Meet me at the front of the alley way in thirty minutes?
Why would he want to meet up there? Oh, whatever. I reply back:
Sure. See you there!
Then, I put my phone down and let out a long breath that I didn't realize I was holding in. I had thirty minutes to get ready. I straightened my hair and curled the ends of it. Then I picked out a quick outfit and my white converse.
After getting ready I had about 10 minutes left. The alley way isn't that far from here but I guess I should just take a head start. My body was still aching a little so it probably would take me a few minutes longer than usual.
Not too long after, I arrive at the front of the alley way. I lean up against the brick wall while taking my phone out. I began calling Niall to tell him that I'm here already.
After a few rings, he finally picks up. "Hey, Niall, I'm here waiting for you. Are you on your way?" I ask as I look out on to the road to try and spot a car that could possibly be Niall's.
He didn't respond back. "Niall?" He wasn't answering at all. "Hello?" Maybe it was bad connection? I decide to just hang up. We were going to see each other really soon so it was fine.
Finally, when 5 minutes passed, I heard a car honk not too far from where I was standing. A hand was waving at me from the car window. I waved back. He was here! He wasn't driving so I guess he was with his friends but I didn't really care. He actually came to meet me! I tried to contain myself.
When the car was getting close enough to park in front of me, it didn't slow down.
What?
Niall's hand shot out the window again but this time he had three eggs in his hand. When the car was right next to me, he rapidly flung them at me and the eggs landed directly on to my forehead. When they were driving away I could hear some laughing in the car. Him and his friends. They were in on all this.
I stood there in complete shock as wiped off the broken egg shells and yolk from my face.
I couldn't believe what just happened. I felt tears starting to run down my cheeks. I didn't bother to wipe them off.
I just ran.
As fast as I could, back to my house.
Every step I took, it hurt awfully. But I didn't stop. I hate Niall. I can't believe how cold-hearted and sick he was to do a prank like this. I should've known better.
When I got home, I bolted straight up to my room and closed the door loudly. As I stood there, leaning on my closed door, I let me body fall to the floor. My knees up against my chest, my arms hugging them tightly and my head down. My eyes were burning from crying too much but the tears never stopped.
I silently cried, trying to keep myself quiet so my mom wouldn't hear me and come banging on my door.
Why would Niall do such a thing? I didn't know him much but he seemed so compassionate. Not stuck up and selfish like all the rest. But I guess he really was.
He was the closest thing I ever got to even having a friendship. Even if we weren't really friends at all. No one ever wants to be friends with me because I was the weird girl. The one who never belongs with anyone. I was alone.
