Unexpected

Chapter 4

"Oh my days!" Kaira screamed once we were out on the main road, "Tonight was awesome. And what the hell was going on with you and Niall?" She begins shouting but then it goes too quiet for her.

"Nothing. He's a member of a band that I bumped into outside of the arena whilst trying to find you." I explain very fast and she looks at me with her mouth hitting the floor.

"I can't believe you met Niall and he knows your name and he knows you and you know him and he knows me." She is acting like she has gone into shock.

"Well maybe he will follow you on twitter now." I mention and instantly regret it because she then talks about how fab it would be if Niall followed her.

I switched off somewhere whilst her talking about to stare at the scenery around me. It was dark and there absolutely nothing out there but fields yet somehow I thought I might see something spectacular.

I fell asleep and dreamt about Ed Sheeran doing a duet with Ellie Goulding. My two favourite artists. Maybe I was being one minded but that song would be the most amazing song in the entire world. It could be called 'How long will you give me love'. My favourite songs from each of them. Perfection on the highest level of perfection.

The car suddenly jolts and head bangs into the window. I wake up and rub my head. I look outside and see street lights and my house. I smile at Kaira who doesn't smile back.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me about Niall." She finally says.

"Look I'm sorry, it's just that it was so overwhelming when I met him and then Zayn came and high fived you and Louis was singing I just melted from the inside. I couldn't breathe but then when that person with lots of hair touched you I was just screaming from the inside out." I whine and she starts laughing at me.

"You could be a fan of One Direction." She laughs.

"I could so totally be a Directioner." I flip my hair.

"Don't call me that." She says as I climb out the car.

I start walking up when Kaira calls my name I turn around as a box of Jaffa Cakes is thrown at me. I smile massively at her because its a box of twenty four.

"Thank you." I shout.

"That's not it." Kaira then throws another pack of twenty four.

I stick my thumb up at her and go to my front door. My mum is in so I don't have to unlock it.

She's in bed which isn't surprising. I lock the door and then go straight up to my bed. I sit on the beige duvet to send all the pictures of Kaira over IMessage to her.

I get changed into a turquoise blue vest top and shorts before I climb under my duvet. I put my phone under my pillow before I shut my eyes. My thoughts think about tonight's events. But most of all Naill's smile. I don't even know why I was thinking about it but it made me smile.

My alarm goes off at ten a.m. with a little reminder that I need to do my art work. I switch it off even though I know an alarm will go off in ten minutes and then ten minutes and so on.

I slowly sit up and glance in the mirror. I laugh at my hair. I forgot to take it out and now it looks like a birds nest. First thing to do is take a shower.

I take my hair out and grab my towel.

The water feel far too nice on my back. I shampoo my hair, feeling all the knots and tangles. I groan as I pour the conditioner in my hand. I rub it in until most of the knots have gone and it feels silky.

I begin to wash my body when the water suddenly goes cold. I yelp and clamber out as fast as I can, almost falling over.

I wrap the towel around me and shiver especially when droplets of water from my hair drip into my shoulders.

I open the bathroom door and run to my bedroom. I quickly dry myself and then get dressed into skinny jeans and a baggy top. I wrap a towel around my head to stop my hair from dripping.

Then I grab my art work out along with all my pencils.

I start to draw and get consumed into my own little world of drawing. Time goes by too fast but I eventually finish all of my work and a few extra pieces like my sketch of Ed Sheeran with Ellie Goulding. Along with a new piece of icy blue eyes.

I stare at the art work I made today before I ripped it into pieces and threw it away.

I look at my notifications and see that I have a new follower on twitter. I tap the notification and see that Naill has followed me. As in Niall from One Direction. I sit puzzled before I follow him back because it seems like the polite thing to do. I look through the list of people he follows pleased to see that Kaira is near the top of that list.

I switch my phone off then and go down stairs. My brother is watching t.v with his girlfriend and my mum is cooking a Sunday lunch on a Saturday. I roll my eyes at her as I get myself a can of coke. I take it back upstairs without saying hello to anyone. If they can ignore me, I can ignore them. It's quite easy when you don't have a brilliant relationship with anyone.

I take a sip from my can of diet coke as I step into my room and see my phone flashing on my bed. A message on twitter. I unlock my phone and it takes me to a DM from some stranger.

*Do you know there are 10 other Jess Carter's on Twitter?*

I hadn't checked the name before but I glanced up to it. Niall had messaged me? What was his problem? I sighed through gritted teeth and replied.

*I apologise for my name.*

I say bluntly probably seeming a little arrogant but how are you supposed to reply to someone that famous when you're just a lazy lump that probably won't go far in life? Yeah, it's hard.

*Not your fault. Blame your parents.*

*Parent.* I quickly correct.

*Oh, sorry.*

*It's not your fault. Just the way life is.*

*Yeah but life isn't fair sometimes.*

*No joke.*

I hope that would be the last of our conversation but he had to reply saying he had to go and that we would talk later.

I put all of my work into my bag and dig deep into the mess that I keep in my bag and find maths homework. Second chance homework. I groan and do most of it. Leaving all the hard questions undone because I can't be bothered.

I climb back under my duvet and try to fall back asleep.
