Solace - Niall Horan

Chapter Thirteen - Skinny Love

Chapter Thirteen:

I went to school early today but then Alex is asking me where my materials are and I said I haven't bought them so we rushed going to a store in town because the school canteen ran out of school supplies.

We used her motorbike and I kind of think it's cool that she knows how to drive one. Well, most of the school population drives a motorbike but me.

My dad didn't want me to learn because he thinks it isn't safe so yeah, I didn't try.

"So, you need an illustration board, pastels, pencil, marker, and what else?" she counted with her fingers and I laughed.

She places her hands on her waist. "What?" she raised her brows?

"It looks like you're the contestant here," I chuckled then she just rolled her eyes.

After we bought the things I need, we went back to school and the program is almost starting.

I went to the designated room for poster and slogan making. It's actually the library and I went at the back. The room is so quiet so it's so great that I will be able to concentrate here.

"So I hope you'll finish within three hours," Mr. Green says as he nods to everyone. He's an art teacher so I think he'll be watching us so no one could cheat.

Of course, there are some people who'll cheat here. They'll steal your ideas and that's why I'm here at the back.

"Time starts now," the professor says as he looks at his wrist watch.

Everyone panicked and immediately sketch on their board and of course, I'm one of them.

I started sketching with the pencil and draw lines that could be barely seen so I could erase them easily.

Then I flinched when there's a knock coming from the window. I breathe in as I look up. It's Niall, smiling goofily and waving at me.

"What are you doing here?" I mouthed so no one could hear. Everyone's too focused on their work and the teachers are chatting with each other so they won't see Niall.

"I'm wishing you good luck, babe." I flushed when he said the word babe. It's still new to me hearing that to him even he said that million times for the past month.

He's wearing a red blue jersey top which is the color for juniors. I smiled at him. It's his game too in the afternoon and I should wish him luck as well.

"Good luck too." I wished for his game later.

"There's no good luck kisses?" he pouted and I blushed. I looked around wondering if anyone heard him but I guess they're really focused of their masterpieces.

I shook my head no but then I smiled. "Uh, if you'll win the game, I guess." he smirked.
