Secrets

Chapter 2

This school week has went by fast. Niall has been messing with me about what I think about Mr. Tomlinson. At least he doesn't do it in front of everyone else. I couldn't help myself when I looked at him in class this past week. I know that Niall hasn't noticed. I know if he did he would mess with me about it more than he already does. I mean I haven't been trying to hide it but I'm not basically throwing myself at him either like every other girl at school.

It was Friday, Niall and I planned on hanging out like we do almost every other Friday. Well basically every weekend. I woke up to a knock on my bedroom door. I know that it's my mom. She's the only one that wakes me up. I groaned and yelled, "I'm awake."

I rolled out of bed and walked towards my closet. I grabbed a cute outfit and put it on before curling my hair. Normally by now I'm back to wearing lazy clothes to school but this year is different. I've been trying to dress nicer to get Mr. Tomlinson 's attention. I doubt it's working but it's worth a try. I know I don't have a chance anyway. I'll probably go back to dressing lazy after today. I grabbed my phone and backpack before walking downstairs. I checked the clock. I know Niall won't be here for another ten minutes at least. I set my bag down, walking into the kitchen. I saw my mom eating at the counter. I walked over to the fridge. I grabbed out a yogurt before eating it. My mom mumbled, "Your dad and I are going to our friends house tonight so we won't be back till late."

I nodded, "I was planning on hanging out with Niall tonight."

She smiled, "Are you sure you two aren't dating?"

I laughed, "I'm sure. I don't like him like that. Besides, I like someone else anyway."

She nodded, "It just seems like it since you two are around each other all the time."

"He's just my best friend."

"I know. I'm was just making sure."

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I know it's Niall saying he's here. I mumbled, "I'll see you tomorrow."

I walked out of the kitchen before she could say anything else. I'm kind of annoyed that she thinks Niall and I are dating. I grabbed my bag before walking out to Niall's car. He smiled, "Good morning."

I sighed, "Good morning."

He's always so happy in the mornings. Sometimes I don't understand. I'm not usually in a good mood when I get up. Well the first couple hours I'm awake. He started driving, "What's wrong? I know something is so don't say there isn't."

"My mom asked me if we were dating this morning."

He looked a little confused, "Why?"

"She says we spend a lot of time together."

He nodded. "I see."

I don't get why people assume we're dating most of the time. I know it may seem like it but he's just my best friend. We don't even act like we're together either so I don't understand how people think that. I don't like the fact that my mom even asked me about it. Hopefully I can stop thinking about it. I know I'll be distracted from it later.

I walked into my last class of the day. I'm kind of glad to walk into this class. I know I'll be distracted in here. I walked over taking my usuall seat next to Niall like when I have a class with him. We started talking about random things when the bell rang. Mr. Tomlinson walked in and started talking. To be honest I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. I was just kind of looking at him. It's hard not to. I'm sure every other girl is doing the exact same thing. My thoughts were interrupted when Mr. Tomlinson asked, "Allison, did you hear me?"

I shook my head,"Sorry, but no."

"I asked you if you knew what Darwin's theory is?"

I shook my head, "No."

He smiled a little bit, "That's what I thought."

He went back to teaching and I looked down at my hands. I'm sure my cheeks are red. I heard Niall chuckle. He knew I wasn't paying attention. The final bell rang and I got up. I started walking out like everyone else. I looked over at Mr. Tomlinson when I saw him slightly smirk at me before looking back down at the paper he was writing. I looked down as I walked out. Niall and I walked out to his car when he chuckled again, "I noticed you staring at him in class."

I looked down and didn't say anything. I should have known he would bring it up. Knowing him he probably just thinks it's funny. I'm sure my cheeks are red from him bring it up. I reached over and turned on the radio. I'm not really in the mood to talk about it. I don't want to talk to him about this. It would be a little awkward. Before I knew it we were back at my house. He asked, "What do you want to do tonight?"

I've been wanting it have a movie night. We haven't had one in awhile. Maybe we can have one tonight. I know some people are going out to Zayn's party but he has a party every Friday and Saturday and basically all summer. I asked, "Do you want to have a movie night?"

He smiled, "Sure. I'll just go home and change then I'll be back in about 20 minutes."

"Alright. Do you want to go get some junk food when you get back?"

"Yeah. Sounds good."

I got out of his car, walking into my house. I know I'm here by myself. I doubt my parents will even be home before I go to bed. I walked upstairs into my room, changing into some Nike shorts and a t-shirt. I slipped on my flip flops before walking back downstairs. I'm sure that this movie night can get my mind off of things. I don't get why I keep thinking about Mr. Tomlinson. I'm sure that I shouldn't be. I mean who really thinks about their teacher other than hating him. I don't think I could hate him. He's too attractive for that. My phone vibrated. I noticed that it was a text from Niall. I already know what it says. There's no point in reading it. I walked out of my house, out to his car. I noticed that he was wearing sweatpants and one of his tank tops. He smiled, "Where do you want to go for junk food for tonight?"

"I don't really care. Anywhere is fine with me."

"Let's just go to the store down the street then."

I nodded as he turned on the radio. I couldn't help but laugh when he started singing along to the song on the radio. He knows some of the most random songs then sings them terribly. I know he does it on purpose though. I've heard him actually sing. He's actually really good. After a few minutes we got to the store, we both walked in. He mumbled, "I'm going to find some stuff."

I nodded as he walked off. I grabbed a basket before I started grabbing some random things. I don't really know what to get. I'm just getting what sounds good. I wasn't paying much attention when I accidentally ran into to someone. I mumbled, "I'm sorry."

I heard a familiar voice say, "It's alright, love."

I looked up and realized it was Mr. Tomlinson. He smiled, "Hello. I didn't expect to see you here."

I smiled, quickly looking down. "That makes two of us."

"I have a question."

I looked back up. I'm sure he can tell that I'm kind of confused. I don't understand what he would have to ask. "Okay."

"Are you and Niall dating?"

It's actually kind of surprising that he's asking that. I didn't know teachers cared about things like that. Well I'm sure most of them don't. I shook my head, "No, he's just my best friend. I don't think I could date him."

He smiled and nodded, "I'll see you in class on Monday."

He walked back out of the aisle. I shook my head and started back towards where Niall went. I'm kind of confused about what just even happened. I kind of want to know why he even asked if Niall and I are dating. I don't know how to ask him about it. I don't know if I should tell Niall about it either. I know for right now I can't just stop thinking about Louis' smile when he heard me say no when he asked me that. Maybe something will happen. I doubt it. I mean he's a teacher and I'm just a student. I'm sure he can have anyone that he wants. I'm sure that, that somebody isn't me. He probably has a girlfriend anyway. Most guys that attractive so anyway.
