SEQUEL TO 30 DAYS WITH NIALL HORAN! READ THAT ONE FIRST XOXO
Chapter One: The bucket list
You know, One Direction weren’t always famous, before Harry, Niall, Liam and Zayn Louis had another best friend, me. We spent all our time together, we lived on the same street and He used to walk home with me and go shopping with me, he used to play games with me and watch movies with me, he was the best friend any girl could ask for.
I was waiting for Louis outside my house, like I did every morning, but this was for the last day of school, our final day in the hell whole other people call school. Louis and I weren’t exactly popular, but people found us very amusing to listen to in classes. In my bag, I had silly string and eggs and noise makers, and Louis had the same. I could hear his shoes scraping across the footpath while he dragged his feet like a sloth up to my house; he’s not exactly a morning person.
I turned around to find him leaning against my fence fixing his fringe watching his reflection in the puddle on the ground. I laughed at him, what guy spends that much time on his hair?
“Good morning you idiot.” I laughed at him, he just smiled at me linking arms with me and pulling me in the direction of school.
“One more day.” He told me. “We should tuck in our shirts and put on glasses!”
“Oh god you idiot, why on earth would we do that?”
“To make an impression.” He said putting on his glasses and tucking in his shirt smiling like an idiot. He grabbed a fake pair out of his bag and slid them on me. “Smile!” I can’t help but smile at him, he’s just so adorable. “Beautiful.” I couldn’t help but blush. He always knows how to make a girl smile.
We arrived at school to see all the other graduates, chattering away smiling and laughing while all the other drones who still had weeks left of school dragged their legs to their classes for homeroom. Lou and I walked around talking to our friends from our grade about what we’re planning on doing this holidays to keep ourselves busy while we wait for our results for the exams. Which, Lou and I planned on doing nothing, Lou and I don’t plan, we just… do stuff when we feel like it, no planning.
Lou walked off to go talk to his guy friends while I went to go talk to my girl friends who all had their hair in pigtail braids and Beth insisted on braiding mine too. She is tall and blonde with the most beautiful blue eyes, she would get all the guys if she actually wanted a guy. But she prefers flying solo. When she finished braiding my hair, I looked in the closest class room window, and I didn’t look too bad apart from looking 12 years old instead of year 12, she left my side fringe down which made me look even younger, but I don’t really care, I never really cared what other people think.
“Look who’s just a little but cute!” Louis said hugging me from behind. People used to call us a couple, which sometimes, I wish was true but why would that be true?
Later on, after the ceremony that happens every year, saying goodbye to the year 12’s Lou followed me to go collect my art piece. My art teacher isn’t exactly the most loved teacher, over the years, we’ve realised that when she says “That’s interesting…” She hates it, and when she goes “Oh you should change …” She means why are you even in my art class. She happened to be in the room when I went in there so she gave me a lecture of what I did wrong, with Lou waiting at the door of the classroom looking sympathetic, because we both know so well how depressing it is when she starts on you.
“I think it looks beautiful.” He smiled looking at my picture. When we finally got back to my place he kicked off his shoes and slumped down on the couch one arm along the back and the other holding the control. I sat next to him and checked my facebook. Of course no one’s messaged me, I only really talk to Lou, and he’s here.
“What do you want to do over the holidays while waiting for our results?”
“I don’t know, but we should probably plan something because I don’t want to sit around waiting to see if I ruined my life or not…”
“We should make a bucket list!”
“1….”
“1. No technology for 24 hours…”
“What?!”
“2…”
“Talk in an Irish accent for 24 hours.”
“Boring!”
“And your no technology wasn’t?”
“Okay… 3. Run into a store and ask someone what year it is, then when someone says 2009 run out cheering.”
“Hahaha good one! Uhm… 4…”
After about an hour of devising a perfect bucket list we got;
1. No technology for 24 hours
