Superman (Niall Horan)

"Ms. Collins?" Mr. Willbrant's head poked into our classroom.

My little blonde head popped up. I groan, in the middle of exams they need me? "Yes?"

The principle looked at me worried. "Your parents got into a car accident, they passed away in the ER. I'm sorry."

I dropped my pen, and stared at him. Tears gathered in my eyes, just as Liz stood up and ran to my desk, she scurried with me out of the room. The last thing I saw before the door closed was the boy's eyes, to be precise the blonde bloke that sat behind me.

Liz hurried me to the bathroom. I looked at her, tears in my eyes, she hugged me, as tight as she could, saying, "It'll be ok.. it'll be fine..." Then I let the tears fall, I hate crying, I hate it, oh how I hate it...

Anna sprinted into the bathroom, her eyes brimmed with tears, like Liz's. They lead me to the office, all I heard is mumbling as they walked out with me. Everything else was a blur.

I sigh. At leased exams where over, and I found a job. But they're still gone, I fight back tears once again, as I walk into 8th period, Geometry Honers. My grades dropped but I'm still in this class.

My friends murmur 'Hi's and 'How are you's. I nod back, afraid that if I talk my voice will betray me and give out. I sit in the back next to the Irish blonde boy. I look at him and we meet gazes. His bright ocean blue eyes are warm and friendly.

"Hey, Elaina!" He greeted me cheerily, I couldn't hold back a tiny, crooked smile. Liz ran up and hugged him.

As she was doing that she practically screamed, "THANK YOU, NIALL!" I giggled, just barely audible, but Liz still caught it and jumped up hugged me.

"I-I can't--breath!" I try to exclaim, she released me. I looked passed her into Niall's deep blue eyes, he smiled. I couldn't not smile, he's so--hot! But I didn't smile, I couldn't, still too soon.

I sat down next to him, and of corse, Liz sat at our table, across from me. I stole one last glance at Niall as Mrs. Winter walked in and we started class.

At the end of class, I saw Liz talking to Niall as I left. She said just wait for me by our lockers. I finished getting ready so I stood by her locker, with my soccer ball in the curve of my waist with my arm securing it.

I saw one curly black-haired girl walking toward me, then I noticed a red short-haired girl. Finally, what I was hoping for, I met blue eyes, and looked up to see a brown and blonde haired boy, he was last. I ran to Anna and Liz and hugged them, I was still holding the ball though.

I look at Niall through their heads. He threw his head back laughing, I almost smiled again.

"Only one week left of collage! For good!" I try to sound as excited as I could, but I failed, kinda miserably. That just made Niall laugh harder.

"Wanna go play?" I asked Anna and Liz. I didn't know if Niall played, but I didn't bother to ask, he'll have to speak up.

They both groan but Niall's grin grows.
