As I walked towards the school, my heart sinking with each step, I convinced myself that Mullingar wouldn't be so bad. It was a bright day. The campus looked beautiful, with the trees looking green as ever and the flowers blooming, showing the true essence of spring.

I reached the doors of the school, suddenly feeling extremely nervous. Still shaking, I pushed the doors and enter the school. It seems fairly normal. You see your jocks walking around like they own the place. You have your popular girls with their noses in the air. The artistic few who seem very creative by the way they are dressed.

I walked towards the school office to get my class schedule and my locker number. She handed it to me with a warm smile which made me feel welcome. I walked towards the lockers, searching for the one allotted to me. Locker #235.

Suddenly I walked into someone. We both fell to the ground. He fell beside me. I looked up directly into his eyes. His piercing blue eyes gazed into my own and I felt myself drowning in those beautiful sapphire lakes and a feeling of calmness swept my whole body. He stood up, picking up my papers and books, and then he gave me his hand offering to help me up. Still lost in those beautiful blue ovals, I took his help and got up. He handed me my things.

"Hi, I'm Niall." He said with a smile. His smile, it was so welcoming, so warm like the first breath of spring after a cold winter. I couldn't help but smile after seeing that face. "Hi, I'm Yolanda." I replied. Every word he said made me melt. That voice. It sounded like the voice of an angel. "I haven't seen you around before, are you new?" He asked while smiling at me. "Yeah. Today is my first day." I chuckled. I was struggling to carry all my books and schedules. He grabbed a few books from my hand, helping me to carry the ones left. "I guess that it's my duty to show you around then." I laughed at how cute he was being. "You've got #235. That's next to mine and first period history, you're in my class but only for that one subject." He then led me to my locker and helped me get my things in. "So when did you move here?" he then moved towards his own locker and shoved his books in. "It's been about a week maybe." He began to lead me to our class. It wasn't very far from my locker. We took the two seats at the back. "They would've given you these slips. There are like 6 of them, one for every teacher. It's got your details on it. You need to give it to the them" I started to rummage through my bag to remove one of the six. Then a short and stout man entered our class. He was Mr. Mathews. My history teacher. His class was boring but you can't really blame him, history isn't interesting as such. Finally the bell rang. "Now you have English. I'll take you to your class and then head over to mine." Niall handed me my schedule back. "Its okay. I think I'll manage to find my way." I somehow sat thorugh my english class with a tall woman talking about robert frost. Then I had to find my way to math. That was just okay.

Soon it was lunch. I entered the cafeteria. Every table seemed to be full. Well, I guess that's what happens when you're the new girl. I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Hey Yolanda! Wanna sit with me and my friends? We've got a seat for you!" He smiled as he gestured over to the seat next to him. "More like he's been saving for ever now." The tall blonde boy teased Niall as he sat down. Niall punched his arm. I sat down next to Niall. "Um yeah I'll just introduce everyone to you." He gestured towards the tall blonde boy, "This is Fred." then towards a brunette girl who had her text books open in front of her "This is Taylor." A girl walked towards us. "What the hell no seat for me?" She was in a pair of skinny jeans and a go green tee with black ankle boots and a black beanie. "That's Carly" Niall got up and pulled a chair in for her. "Hey. It's nice to meet you. I think I seen you in my class earlier. Math"  She removed an apple from her bag and started to munch on it. "It's possible, I was in daze." She laughed. I seen a boy with shaggy black hair and a skate board walk up towards us. "That's Warren." He grabbed a chair and sat down next to  Taylor and gave her a peck on the lips. "Hi I'm Warren." He shook my hand. He had an australian accent. "Guys, this is Yolanda, she's new here. Yolanda these are the guys" I smiled. "So what do you have next?" Fred asked as he shoved a hot dog into his mouth. "I've got French and then Biology." "Both those classes are with me" said Warren. "I'll show you where the are." The bell just rang. Warren kissed Taylor and said bye to her and then led me over to my class. "So why did you move to Mullingar?" He asked as we walked over to our class. "My mom got a job here." He held the door as I walked in I sat at the back and he sat in front of me with another boy with a skate board. Our teacher, Ms. Waters entered. She seemed plenty nice. She rambled on and on about conjugating etre and how important it is. The bell rang and we walked to Biology where we watched a video about photosynthesis. 

I walked home with the biggest smile on my face. It was a great first day . Never had I met someone like Niall, who was so down to earth, so unaware of his beauty, someone who made my heart pound with every word, someone who i couldn't get out of my mind. I longed to meet him the next day. Somewhere in me I knew that He and I might just be the best thing.

It was now a new day. As i got dressed in the morning, all I could think off was Niall. Just meeting him in the morning. I had so much to tell him. I felt like I had this connection with him even though we had just met. I was comfortable talking to him. It was a beautiful day. The birds in the sky and the flowers at the epitome of beauty. Mullingar was a beautiful place. As I reached school, I ran to my locker anxious for first period history. I turned around after shoving my books into my locker and he was there, unaware of the fact that I was madly in love with him after one day of meeting him. How was that possible? How could i be so attached to someone I just met. He then turns around a notices me . He smiles. That smile made me weak in the knees. That smile could light up this whole town. " Hey! Yolanda, You're here early. How are you?" He said. Fred and Crly walked over to us. "So how was your first day?" Carly asked. "It was pretty good." Every second I spent with Niall was wonderful. His voice gave me a sense of security. I had about 4 classes before Lunch all had either Niall or Carly in them. I could barely concentrate in my classes with Niall. Like in math, he kept making jokes about my teacher's accent. We kept giggling in class.

It was now lunch. As I searched the room was Niall and his friends, I heard a familiar voice. "Hey! Yolanda! Wait Up!" I turned around it was Niall. "Hey Niall!" I replied as a smile spread across my face. "So all my friends are busy. Do you mind if I sit with you? Unless of course you don't want me here?" He says with a smirk. " Of course not. Sit" I reply, bursting with happiness on the inside. "I could hear Fred and Warren whitling and hooting in the background. "Shut up you morons!!" He turned around and screamed at them. "So how are you liking Mullingar so far?" He asks. "It's nice. Beautiful place." I said as i took a bite of my food. "You're beautiful" he whispered almost so softly that I couldn't hear him. "What!?" I exclaimed almost choking on my food but still unaware of what he had said. "Nothing..." He said and abruptly changed the topic to favorite movies."So what's your favorite movie?"

"It's Grease. I know it's old and all. I just lov wathing it with my mom." He laughed

"That's nice. Mine's John Tucker Must Die"

"What about board game?"

"Uhm, I'm gonna say Scottland Yard."

"I am the king of scottland yard."

"I bet I could beat you"

"You're on"

When the bell rang we both ran off to class.

After school was over he walked me home. Still talking. I was looking at him from time to time from the corner of my eye and I could tell he was doing the same. I smiled. Anyone even a thousand miles away could tell I was blushing. He smiled and then asked me for my number. He saved mine. We reached my house although I wanted this walk to never end. He smiled at me .While walking away ran his fingers through his hair and turned around and said "Good Bye.". 

As I entered my house and shut the door behind me, I couldn't help but wonder when he was going to text me. I ran up the stairs to my room and just collapsed on my bed. His words replaying in my head.  I waited to go to school the next day.

Walking to school all I could think of was meeting Niall. As I entered school, I saw Niall talking to Taylor and Warren at my locker. A feeling of bliss swept my whole body. I felt calm as I seen him all my nerves went away. As I walked towards him, he smiled.. "How are you? I'm sorry didn't call. I got busy with homework." "It's okay. Why are you apologizing?" "So me and the group are going to watch step up 2 tomorrow. Wanna join us?" Niall smiled. "It'll be fun!" Carly seemed really excited. "Yeah sure I guess." "Great!" He seemed really excited.  The bell rang to start another boring day of school.

After school, he walked me home as usual but today it was different. We weren't just talking about random topics, we were talking about ourselves. The things we like, the things we hate, the things that made us who we are.. As I walked up to my porch, he waved goodbye and turned away.

I ran up the stairs to my room towards my cupboard scrutinizing everything I own , to find the perfect outfit for the movie. Finally I found something. It was simple but it was right. My favorite skater lace dress with the black belt. I was excited for my first date with Niall
