- Cuts and Bruises - - Niall Horan -

-Niall's POV-

"So have you found your soulmate?" Kendall asks me. I sometimes feel embarrassed that I haven't. I really want to find her. And I wouldn't mind if it was Kendall. But she'll probably find a much better guy.

"No I haven't. I'm hoping to find her when the time is right." Truthfully, I want to find her now. I want someone to care for. But I'll be patient.

We play 20 questions for what seems like forever when Kendall stands up suddenly.

"Oh shit I gotta get home!" She says. My smile drops a bit but I quickly recover.

"I'll drive you home" I say. She gathers her stuff and we head out to her car. I start driving her home then drop her off. I sit in her driveway, making sure she gets in the house alright. I then see a light turn on in one of the bedrooms upstairs. I vaguely see Kendall up there changing.

Maybe I can stick around for a few more minutes.

After she changes I take my phone out to text her a cheeky message.

"You should close your curtains next time you change. I don't want anyone seeing you like that."

I press send and back out of her driveway. I'll be looking forward to being tutored by Kendall again.

-Kendall's POV-

I wake up the next morning and go and take a shower. Like the klutz I am, I cut myself while shaving my legs. Sorry soulmate. I can't help it.

Ava picks me up for school and I (unfortunately) go to my first class.

Later at lunch I meet up with Ava and Sterling to talk about my tutoring with Niall. We all sit down at a lunch table and they give me a look saying "Well? Are you going to tell us?"

"Ok. All that happened was I tutored him, then we played 20 questions, then he drove me home," I said, leaving out details.

"You're lying." Sterling said, "I can see it. Spill."

I looked at the two of them nervously, not particularly wanting to tell them. "Fine," I start, "When he dropped me off, I went upstairs to change into my pj's. And I guess I left the curtains open and he watched me from his car."

They both gasp and give me a shocked look, "At least you weren't naked." Ava said.

"That's what I said!" I exclaim. "So yeah that's it. I'm kinda hoping I won't see him today because I feel like it would be awkward."

They both just shrug and go back to eating their lunch. I scan the cafeteria and lock eyes with Niall. Dang. That's the worst thing I could've done. He gives me a wink and a subtle nod and goes back to talking to his friends. My face instantly turns bright red. I hide my face and play with my fingers. I finish lunch early and decide to go to the bathroom before my next class.

I walk through the empty hallway towards the girl's bathroom. I have one of those eerie feelings that I'm being followed. I quickly go into the bathroom and do my business.

As soon as I step out of the bathroom a hand covers my eyes. I instantly gasp and try to get away, but the person is too strong. I hear an Irish accent say, "Guess who?" As they let go of me.

"Niall! You scared me! Why would you even do that?" I yell. I get surprised so easily. It's lucky I just got out of the bathroom.

He shrugs, "For fun I guess," he says with a smirk. I instantly remember last night and cringe away from him. His smile instantly falls.

"Ok Kendall, I'm really sorry. That was a dick move of me to watch you change. I swear I was just in your driveway making sure you got inside safely. I understand if you don't want to tutor me anymore." He says. I pause and think for a moment.

"I'll still tutor you. As long as you won't be a creep anymore." I state.

He smiles and nods, "I understand. See you around babe." He winks. My heart flutters at this. Wait what? My heart flutters? I have to be kidding.

But maybe I'm not.

Hey friends. Sorry about not updating for like 10 years. I'm starting to get back into this story.

So I don't really believe in all the "bad luck on Friday the 13th" but today my dad and I almost got into a car wreck. It messed me up man.

So I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Even with my sucky writing skills.

Have a nice life(:
