What We Are - N.H

Three

I can't believe I've survived the first week of year 11. Ever since our encounter with the boys last Tuesday, I haven't been able to rid the picture of Niall's beautiful piecing blue eyes from my mind.

"Oooh, just got a text from Ciara!!" Katrina told us excitedly. Ciara went to primary school with Katrina and she was at our school, she was one of our best friends until July last year, when she left England to move to Canada.

I do sometimes feel sorry for Kat because in year 8 another one of her best friends from primary school, Freya, left England and moved to America. Freya was also one of our best friends too.

"What did she say?" Isabella asked. I do really miss Ciara, she was so lovely and it was so sad when she left. "Erm... she says How are we all and that she's really missing us!!", "oh and that there is a really fit boy who lives down her road who she thinks is called Justin!!" Katrina cooed.

"Aww I bet they'll go out sooner or later!!" I said. Ciara's beautiful and boys can't keep they're eyes of her.

Our next lessons science and guess who's in my set. Niall. Sir said we are having a seating plan change in the first week because we talked to much last lesson. I really hope for both our sakes that I'm not put next to Niall.

"Come on Mabel, let's go, we'll meet you after maths!" Nadia said to us, "does my hair look ok? It's just that Lewis is in this class and I really need to look good for him!"

"Really Nads, your not even going out with him, yet!" I said, knowing Lewis was going to ask her out sooner or later. The way he looks at her is adorable, he's only known her less than a week.

"Right, it's going to be boy girl seating this week" Mr Banks said to our class. A sigh of disappointment spread across the room.

" Ok so over here we'll have, Jack and Lottie, Nadia and Michael, Mabel and..." please don't say Niall, "James", phew. A sigh of relief wiped through me. I could see a look of sadness on Nadia's face when she had to go and sit next to Michael and not Lewis. Unfortunately, Niall was sitting behind me but I really tried to not think about it.

All through the lesson I could feel his gaze burning through me but decided to ignore it.

About 30 mins into the lesson, I saw something small fly onto my book. It looked like a scrunched up note or something. I opened it and I knew who it was from straight away. " Turn around" was written on the scrunched up paper. When I turned around no one was there so I faced the right was again.

But on my desk was another bit of paper similar to the one just before. When I open it, it said "will you go out with me?" in the same hand writing. A chocked gasp left my throat and I heard a snigger coming from behind me. I wonder if he's being serious?

I ripped the top corner of my page and wrote on it "but I barely know you". I threw it back onto his desk and waited for a reply. Seconds later a piece of scrunched up paper flew back onto my desk saying, "you can get to know me, 07564762917"

"Ok this is mine, 07987345221" I sent back. It's worth a try considering how gorgeous he is. It's probably a dare, but I'll just have to wait an see
