What We Are - N.H

Five

I'm just making my way up to the courts. I had to make up a shit excuse to the girls that I needed the toilet and that there was no point in them coming. I was really hoping none of them needed it.

When I got to the toilet block and out of their view, I literally sprinted to the courts. I just want to get there quickly and find out what he wants. "Oh God I'm so sorry" I said carelessly as I barged into someone accidentally.

"Yeah, you sound like you really mean it!!" she yelled back at me. Great, just my luck, it had to be the school slut, Elizabeth. How could I have not seen her. Her skirt is so short it looks like she isn't wearing one and her face is slathered in a thick layer of cheep make up. She has literally got of with every boy in our year at one party or another.

I just tried to ignore her crudeness and carried on walking, fast! the excitement inside me was building! I just want to know what's happening. Why is the walk from the maths block to the willow tree so long, my friends must think I need a big poo because I'm taking so long.

I checked my phone, only 10:40. I hope this little meeting of ours doesn't take too long otherwise I'll be late for my next class and I don't want that to happen. I hate being late and at this rate I can imagine myself walking in half way through the lesson.

When I got to the willow tree no one was there. Great, how could I have been so stupid? I knew it was a joke all along. I may as well just go back to the girls. oh c'mon, at least wait a few more minuets. My sub conscience told me. Okay, five more minutes and I'd he doesn't turn up, I'm leaving.

While I was waiting and looking around, I saw a small white thing hanging of one of the low branches. I went and untangled it from the tree, hoping to not rip it as there was writing on it.

"Turn around" it said. Wait this is strange? This is the note from science yesterday, he kept it? I did like the note said again and as if we were re-enacting yesterday's lesson, I saw Niall standing behind me. This time he looked nervous.

"Woah, you scared me!!" I squealed and swatted his arm playfully. Almost immediately, his features softened and he started giggling. "what!?" I questioned, it wasn't that funny? "it's just... erm.. I like it when u smile, it makes me happy." he said. A wave of dark crimson sweeped over his face.

"Oh.. thanks." I said back, not really sure what I should've said. we barely know each other and were already flirting, badly!

"Anyway, what did you want me to come here for so badly?" I really want to know. I heard the bells go quietly and I really need to go but I also need to know what he wants, what if its urgent? " Well, I just wanted to make sure it was actually you and not someone else on your phone and I just wanted to see you again" he blushed.

"Oh, ok. If that's all you wanted, I really have to go now" I said. I really didn't want to go but I don't want to be late. "Okay, please let me walk you to your next lesson??" he asked.

I couldn't not look into his gorgeous blue ocean like orbs. He's so beautiful and now I can't wait until our next meeting on Saturday. "er.. ok I'll take that as a no. I guess I'll see ya around." He said, pulling me out of my thoughts. He shifted awkwardly on the spot.

"no please don't go!" my words came out all rushed, i sounded like i was begging him to stay! As soon as I said it I covered my mouth an I could feel my fave heating up. "I.. I mean, yeah I'd love you to walk me to my next lesson." I was so embarrassed!!

I could see him trying to contain his laughter. It really wasn't working so he just let out a loud bellow. What a beautiful sound. It just mede me go even more red!!

As we walked down to my next lesson we talked about different things like what school he went to before he came here, were he and Harry friends before and what part of Ireland he comes from.

All through the conversation, I would just be listening in awe at the amazing sound of his accent coated voice. He told me that he was from a small town in Ireland called Mullengar and that he moved to England when he was 14. He also said that Harry and him have been best friends since they met in year 9.

"Thanks for walking me here, you really didn't have to." I thanked him. "Oh don't worry about it. My lesson now is revision period and I'm only down the hall. I'm sure I can slip in the back without being noticed!" he giggled.

We must look so odd, laughing outside a classroom fifteen minutes late " well I suppose I'll see you on Saturday. If your coming that is?"

"Off corse I'm coming, I said I would. I had fun earlier!" I told him. to be honest, I really did.

"Great, see you then" we awkwardly hugged and I watched him walk down to the end of the hall.
