Finally- a Niall Horan fanfiction

Chapter 6-Feelings?

NIALLS POV

Great, just great. Not only does she know that I was basically spying on her she knows that I love to sing. I was told all my life that singing was to girly. They way she looked at me with the surprise in her eyes. I was so embarrassed. I tried to avoid her all day. I didn't even go to lunch, I say in my car for 30 minutes. Luckily she doesn't know that I have one class with her so I say in the back quietly. I don't have any of my other classes with her so that was easy.

After school I went home. But me being me I am starving so I head to Nandos. Nandos is my favorite place to eat. I walk in the door and seated in the back in a corner. As I'm waiting for my drink the door opens and it's like we are the only two people in the world. Lexie walks in and our eyes meet. I quickly look at my menu until

"Niall?" She came over here to talk to me? Why?

"Um...hey." I don't know what to do. I use to go to an all boys school so I don't know how to talk to girls.

"What are you doing here?" She looks down at me raising one eyebrow. I just shrug my shoulders an listen to the awkward silents surrounding us. Until something came over me.

"Do you wanna sit?" I ask her and wait for the rejection like usual.

"Yeah" she replies and sits. I can't believe she said yes.

The waiter comes back with my drink.

"Would you like a drink?" I ask Lexie.
She nods and orders a coke. The waiter goes to get her order and we just sit her in silence.

"Why were in the music room this morning?" She breaks the silence with the question I was trying to avoid.

I just shrug my shoulders. "Just thought I'd check it out. I thought about joining the music program." I try coming up with an excuse. She just looks at me and smiles.

"They canceled the program." She looks at the table like she was sad. I knew they canceled the program I just don't want her to know. But maybe she won't judge me and leave.

"Why were you in there?" I change the subject in her.

"I go in there whenever I need some relief. I've been singing and playing music sense I was five. It's gotten me and is getting me through some rough times." She smiles for her passion that she has for music.

"What do you mean by gotten and getting through rough times?" I love learning new stuff about her.

"Well..." She was cut off by out waiter bringing out her drink. I can tell he's flirting with her and it kinda makes me angry. Why?

"Can I get your order?" He looks at me. I order chicken Brest. "And for you?" He turns to Lexie and winks at her. She is obviously uncomfortable. She orders the same as me.

"Well" she starts to continue. "I was adopted when I was five in America. I was adopted from an abusive family" she looks down at the table "a few years back we moved her and it was not as girl as I thought it would be. I was bullied and still am." I reach across and put my hand on top of hers and I feel something but not sure what it is. "My parents bought me my first guitar when I was first adopted. I've been playing ever sense." She looks up and smiles at me. My hand breaks from her as I notice our food has come.

We eat our food and sit and because she told me a personal story, I might as well return the favor. I tell her when I started playing and singing and how people thought it was girly. I tell her about my family and when I first started bleaching my hair and how it hurts like hell. I feel closer to her after we shared our stories. I still feel like she didn't tell me everything but I don't mind.

Our check comes out.

"How much is mine?" She ask me. I always pay for the girls.

"It's free" I smile at her and wink. I pay for out dinner and we leave.

"Thank you for paying but next time I pay." There's gonna be a next time? I just smile and give a sarcastic okay. Just as she walks away I come up with a question.

"Do you mind if I get your...um...number?" I ask her and rub the back of my neck. She says okay and we trad numbers. I feel a strange feeling in my stomach but ignore it.

LEXIE'S POV

Oh my god. I don't know what to say. I have never opened up to somebody like that. I just feel so myself when I'm around him. I feel closer to him now. I feel like we've been friends forever. I can't believe people thought singing was to girly for guys, I find it very attractive. He also payed for my meal, no guy has ever done that for me. I think I might like him. He probably doesn't like me the way I do him though.

I drove home and my parents are there. I walk in through the door and am greeted by my parents.

"Where have you been?" My mother says sternly. I wasn't gone that long. I look at the clock and realize it's 7:30. I get out of school at 3:15. Did Niall and I hang out for that long. The memories flood through my mind.

"Hello, Lexie." My dad says unaware of my absence.

"I was...ugh...studying." I quickly can up with an excuse.

"Next time let is know when your coming home, ok." My mom says.

"Ok. I going to go get ready for bed. Goodnight." I tell them and go get a shower. After my shower I got hungry,as always, so I went and got some ice cream. After my ice cream I lay down in my bed. I check my phone and I am greeted by a text from Niall.

From: Nialler :)

Goodnight see you tomorrow:)

To: Nialler :)

Goodnight :)

After the text I went to a peaceful sleep.
