What We Are - N.H

Seven

When I arrived at the tree, he was already there. Leaning against it looking around. I wonder how long he's been waiting for, its only 1:57 so we're both early.

We haven't had a face to face conversation since we met at break on Wednesday. It feels like weeks ago, when it was only a few days.

"Hey beautiful" he called me over.

"Hi" I replied nervously. This isn't how I expected our day together to start. We barely know each other and this is how he's addressing me already. I like it.

"How are you? I was thinking we could maybe take a walk round the park, grab an ice cream and go into the town?? But it's completely up to you." he told me.

I was just trying to process how gorgeous he looked in his baggy burgundy Hype jumper, skinny denim jeans and white converse boots.

"Hello? Are you listening??" He asked me making my previous thoughts vanish. "Oh sorry, your plan sounds great!" whoops, that's embarrassing.

As we started walking and chatting about the most random things, I couldn't help notice Niall was softly singing, "And they say she's in the class A team, stuck in her day dream, been this way since 18 but lately her face seemed" His voice was amazing and he sounded like an angel.

"Wow, your amazing at singing!!" I complemented him. I could tell he was getting embarrassed because his face turned a deep red. "Oh thanks. I love singing, but I wouldn't say I'm amazing." he said back. I knew he would doubt himself.

NIALL'S P.O.V

I arrived at the tree at 1:45. I didn't want her to be there waiting for me. When I saw her approaching me I started to feel nervous. What am I supposed to say? I don't want it to be awkward but I also don't want to go over the top.

"Hey beautiful" I called her over.

"Hi" She replied nervously. What are you doing Niall!? My sub conscience doubted me. "How are you? I was thinking we could maybe take a walk round the park, grab an ice cream and go into the town?? But it's completely up to you." I tried again.

She was just staring at me blankly. What was she thinking? That your welcome was way over the top? My sub conscience butted in.

"Hello? Are you listening??" I asked her making her previous thoughts vanish. "Oh sorry, your plan sounds great!" Good she's softened up.

I've had this song in my head all day and its really annoying me. I listened to it this morning while I was getting dressed and now I haven't been able to get it out of my head.

"And they say she's in the class A team, stuck in her day dream, been this way since 18 but lately her face seemed" I sang while we walked through the park. "Wow, your amazing at singing!!" She complemented me. I was getting embarrassed and I could feel my face turn a deep red.

"Oh thanks. I love singing, but I wouldn't say I'm amazing." I said back. Yeah, I've been singing for ages now but I don't think I'm that great. I can hold a tune, but that's as good as its going to get.

"You should enter for this years X-factor! Your old enough now." She told me. She sounded just like my mum! Mums always told me I could do it of I wanted to, but guess I always doubted myself.

As we walked through the park chatting about anything and everything it started to get chilly. She looked cold and she started to shiver. Oh your so stupid, why didn't you bring your jacket. I thought to myself.

There she is in only a flowery play suit with a thin denim jacket and I'm in my warm Hype jumper. She looks very cold, maybe we shouldn't have had the ice cream. It is September, so where the hell has the sun gone!

I suppose it is getting late. It's around 6:00. Wow, we've spent over 4 hours together. I guess time goes fast when your having fun.

"I think I better get going now. Mum wanted me home by 6:30 to have dinner." She said sadly.

"Yeah, me too. Well thanks for coming. I had a great time today" I said back. I never had this much fun with Eve, and we were actually going out.

"After today, I feel like I've known you forever. It's been good fun" she said with her beautiful smile plastered over her face. "So will you go out with me now?" I mumbled quietly, still hoping she'd heard me. "Pardon?"

"Like, do you want to be my girl friend?" I asked again hoping it made more sense.

"Of corse I will"
