Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 10

I sit waiting patiently for Jason to say something but he looks dumbfounded. He's been standing still for about two minutes and after a while he collects himself.

"You what?" He looks surprised. Too surprised.

"Why do you look so surprised?" I ask and cross my arms as I stand up from my bed.

"Nothing, it's just that. You kissed a guy?" First it was last night with Christian who thought that I wasn't straight and now it's Jason who thinks that I didn't kiss a guy. Or at least thinks that I wasn't capable of kissing a guy. Who do these people think I am?

"I'm sorry I'm taking this too much of my surprise but it's just that, I never hear you talk about boys that much so I just assumed..." That's where it is. I seem to be doubted by a lot of people.

"It's okay, I guess I just need to talk more about guys or I'm going to be questioned in the future" I say and Jason smiles walking towards me so he puts his arm around my shoulders.

"I'm sorry sweetie, it's just that. You kissed a guy?" He says and I roll my eyes walking out of my room.

I jog down the stairs and enter the kitchen. Much to my surprise I find everyone in pajamas except for Dean and Maya. I actually think this might be the very first time that I have ever seen Cassandra recently woken up. Her hair looks messy but it suites her perfectly, she wears a white shirt under her gray robe. Wait? That isn't her robe. That's... Oh I see.

"Cassandra you look happy today" I smile and lean on the kitchen island beside Dean. Cassandra sighs with a smile as she shoves her hands into her pockets and looks at Jason who smiles back at her.

"I am happy" She says and looks back at me then back at the rest of us her smile slightly fading and her eyes widening. "Why is everyone looking at me like that" She laughs. The rest of us look at each other except for Maya who looks beyond confused

"Well someone got fucked last night" Of course it's Christian who is the one to speak up and Cassandra to glare at.

"Chris you know how I feel about those words" She says with a tone of trying to change the subject.

"You didn't deny did you" Christian smirks.

"Ew, I just had a mental picture" Robbie says and covers his ears as he walks to the fridge.

"Now please let's not start talking about this, it's early in the morning I just want to have my breakfast" Cassandra says and Christian scoffs.

"Yeah well we all know who got desert last night" Dean jokes and we all burst laughing as Cassandra glares at Dean. The cutie he is, he hides behind his girlfriend and Cassandra turns around continuing to cook the bacon.

"Oh don't listen to them honey" Jason says giving us a look and wrapping his arms around her before whispering something in her ear that makes her smile.

"Please not here" Jacob says covering his eyes.

"Get a room" Christian shouts and Cassandra pulls away looking at me straight in the eye with a smile set on her face. I look around myself then back at her.

"What?" I ask and she walks towards me.

"You kissed a guy yesterday?" She smiles widely and brings her hands together on her chest and I roll my eyes. Now it's my turn to glare, and this time to Jason. He just shrugs his shoulders like he doesn't regret that he just told Cassandra that I kissed someone yesterday when I didn't. The more people that know, the harder it is for me to keep it a lie.

"Oh my god!" I walk towards the stove and grab the rest of the bacon left and put it on my plate completely dodging Cassandra's question.

"Hold up, hold up what happened yesterday?" Christian asks as I take my seat on the kitchen Island.

Now I know what it was exactly that Jason had told her Cassandra that made her smile. He was trying to get the attention off of the two of them by changing the subject and bringing up the topic about me and boys. God, the disadvantage of having a big family.

"Nothing!" I shout and lower my head so that I am facing my plate of food. The kitchen has gone silent and I can feel everyone's eyes on me. Slowly and nervously I look up and sure enough, there is a smile sprawled across everyone's face.

"What?" I say with a mouth full of egg.

"Oh come on guys don't make her so nervous, it may be her first kiss but a girl doesn't need so much pressure on it" Much to my surprise Maya is the one to break the silence as she walks towards me and stands by my side with her arm over my shoulder.

"It's not my first kiss!" I smile raising my voice slightly.

"Since when have you been kissing boys?" Cassandra says and I groan throwing my head back.

"Have you been having sex?" Christian asks and I almost choke on my saliva. I only glance at Jason before I look at my hands.

"No I haven't" I simply say to Christian and he smiles.

"You hesitated" He says.

"I'm not having sex!" I shout much louder than I wanted.

"Leave her alone guys" Maya says and I just want to kiss her right now for standing by my side when everyone else is embarrassing me with my boy life.

"I think I might just finish eating this upstairs in my room" I say and grab my plate when Cassandra stops me.

"No, no, no, no you are going to finish talking about this, with me" She says and grabs my arm but I keep my feet planted on the floor.

"Cass please, why don't you just leave me alone in this. I don't want to talk about it, it's my private life" I whine and she gives up on trying to make me move.

"Fine, I give up" She says but I know this won't be the last of it. I know some time today, or any other day she will want to talk about all this with me, and I know that for me I won't be able to get out of it. Even if I had someone as a savior.
