Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 15

"Century, your a dancer?" I look at Giselle who looks at me with an amused face. When I look around me, everyone has their eyes on me.

"Yeah, I've been dancing since I was very little" I say.

"What type of dancer, exactly" Liam asks.

"Well I'm on the dance team at my school, so it can be different. When I first started, I was put into ballet. It didn't last long, more like for just two months. Then I was put into gymnastics for about four years, I was still dancing. Now for school, I sometimes choreograph for hip hop" I explain my history of dancing.

"So you do mainly hip hop?" Daniel asks and I nod. "Maybe you could teach Vanessa some of your moves so when she goes to the striper club at night" He laughs.

"Shut the fuck up Daniel!" Vanessa shouts and let's go of Niall's shoulder to cross her arms and moves farther away from him. "Par de gordos, Americanos y ingleses tenían que ser"

"Uh, Vanessa honey" Giselle says moving forward to look at Vanessa. "We're not stupid, we know what your saying"

"Watch what you say with that mouth, You know that your mom doesn't like your vocabulary" Daniel says eating a fry.

Vanessa scoffed at them. Everyone treats her like a child. Maybe it's the fact that they all know her mother. They all make fun of her and tease her but I know that they wouldn't take it seriously. She's the one to pick on in this ball of friends.

We talked together in the same conversation. We practically took an hour sitting together in the food court. People came and went but barely anyone stayed as long as we did. All of us were so loud, Niall and Vanessa were the only quiet ones. At least Vanessa shut up for once. Except Niall sat quietly on his phone.

"Century why don't you come with us back to Holland, we can chill out together again" Louis suggests placing his hand close to mine.

"Oh no, I have to go back home" I reply.

"Come on we can go to the small carnival that is like five minutes away" Louis says.

"Oh yeah! Let's go to the carnival, Century come on when will there be another time we get to hang out. You have school this week" Giselle shouts excitedly.

"Yeah but I have to be back to my house" I repeat.

"Century, it could be the time where we can get to really know each other" Louis grabs my hand and smiles at me. I glance at Niall who looks at me at the same time. His jaw clenches and he attempts to look away. But what got my attention was Vanessa sitting next to him. She has her eyebrows furrowed in anger and she once again rolls her eyes at me.

"I really do have to get back home" I say and pull away.

"Louis just back off, she's a tough nut to crack" Vanessa spats giving me a look before twirling her fork in her food.

"Jesse and I got to go home" I say again looking at Jesse then at Louis. "I have to call my brother to pick us up" I bring my hand near back pocket but Louis stops me.

"We'll drop you guys off, I mean after all we're going to head back. There's a lot of traffic too" Louis says.

"Yeah, Century we'll take you" Daniel nudges me.

"I guess that'll be alright" I say and Jesse smirks at me. I really do have to give her some time with Daniel. She likes him. A lot.

"She's... not going to fit in the car" Vanessa says and I look at her. She has already gotten on my nerve and never before have I ever wanted to slap someone so bad. Well except for Sydney from school. She's a real bitch. I never intended to say that.

"Oh that's alright we can take out a few four hundred pounds from the car to make space" Harry butts in not once taking his eyes off of his soda can, then looks up to smirk at Vanessa. "You know the bus route back to Holland right?" Harry chuckles just to get Vanessa's middle finger.

"I can't say anything to Century without getting some sort of comeback from you guys" She complains in a high pitch voice.

"Then don't say shit to her!" Much to my surprise Niall is the one to bite back. He has his elbows on the table and his hands tied together. His head is lowered and he is glaring at Vanessa.

"Then Jesse could ride with Niall and Louis, he brought his own car" Daniel suggests and I see the color drain from Jesse's face. No matter how much it pains me to have to do this. I can't bare to see Jesse get rejected.

"No she can drive with you guys, so you know you can get to know her" I say and Jesse smiles.

"Then I'll tag along with you" Daniel says and it's like battling with the one your best friend loves. Oh wait, it kind of is.

"No, it's okay" I brush him away.

"Are you sure?"

"Jesus Daniel, I'm sure okay!" I raise my voice but try to make it seem that I'm not angry with him, more like annoyed.

"Alright, alright" We all got up to throw our food away and once that was done, we went ahead and made our way out of the food court. Daniel lead us all out of the mall and to the parking lot. I'm not sure what cars they brought but when we reach them I automatically recognize one, as Niall's.
