Just perfect. 5th hour was pretty much my only somewhat relaxing time of the school day. Who knows how well this is gonna go with him there.
Kaylin and I were one of the first people there, considering how close our 4th hour class is to the choir room. We were talking about Niall when all of a sudden he appeared at the door.
"Hey, ladies." He said, smirking, and looking over at the group of girls talking in the corner. I rolled my eyes at his words. I turned to Kaylin so that my back was literally facing him.
"See, this is what I was talking about. I'm just another random choice just like every other girl he's ever met." I say. She shakes her head slightly and peaks over my shoulder to look at Niall and quickly looks back at me, with a surprised look on her face.
"Bailie.. Don't look now but he's staring at us. At you." She quietly says.
I begin to turn my head but then she stops me. "Are you sure he's looking at me?" I say, sighing.
"Yes!" She exclaims. "He's biting his bottom lip and everything! I swear to God, I'm not lying to you."
"Okay, hopefully everyone's in their seats!" I hear Mrs. Dickhut suddenly say. Niall's still standing over where the girls were, yet, no one was over there anymore. Just him. "Oh yes, we've got a new member in the room today! Everyone, let's meet Niall Horan!"
Everyone stares at him and I could see that some of the girls were literally drooling over him. Mrs. Dickhut breaks the silence once again. "We don't normally do this but I thought it'd be good since he's not really from around here. Everyone stand up, say your full name, and one thing you enjoy doing." She says, welcoming Niall. Great, more for him to know about me. I look over at Kaylin and roll my eyes.
First Lauren, "Hi, I'm Lauren Nicole Nebe and I love to cheerlead." She starts.
Second, Leah, "Hi, I'm Leah Diane Bliven and I also love to cheerlead." She adds.
Then, me. I look over to where Niall was sitting to see that his gaze was still fixed on me which made things oddly uncomfortable. I could feel my cheeks burning before I even started to speak. "Hi, my name's Bailie Elizabeth McDowell and I cheer. Or used to anyway.." I awkwardly finished my sentence and quickly sat down in my chair. It was Megan's turn as I was listening, I saw from the corner of my eye the sight of Niall just staring. Not at anyone else. But me. I looked over at Kaylin who just shrugged at me, mouthing "I don't even know'.
We finally finished introducing ourselves after the long list of several people.
"Niall, would you like to share something about yourself?" I hear Mrs. Dickhut ask him.
"Uh, sure, He breaks his gaze from me, and I suddenly feel as if weight was lifted off of my shoulders. He stands up and fixes his hair that was styled into a messy quiff. "Hey, my name's Niall James Horan and I enjoy singing." He says, looking around the room.
"Do you play any instruments?" I hear Delaney suddenly ask.
"Uh, yeah, the guitar." He answers.
"And how well can you play?" Mrs. Dickhut asks, interested. I was honestly interested too. But I didn't want to show anything.
"I could bring my guitar into class sometime and play a bit if you'd like, ma'am." He says. He has such great poise but at the same time is a huge jerk. Now I'm curious. Very curious. I am in deep thought, while looking around to find all of the girls were swooning over him including Kaylin.
I, on the other hand, don't know how to feel about him.. Should I try and talk to him or not? I'm so confused. All of a sudden, the lunch bell rings and everyone races out the door. I tried to stay by Kaylin, attempting to avoid Niall. I wanted to talk to him, yes. But not now. I'm not ready.
