Class seems to drag on. I've always enjoyed history and learning in general but right now I'm a bundle of nerves. Whenever something like this happens I have to discuss it with Niall right away so he knows I still love him, that I'm not going out with someone behind his back, and so we can laugh over these stupid rumors but the class is eighty minutes long.
Nervously I tap my pencil against her edge of my desk. The teacher drawls on and on and I find myself, for once in my school life, not paying much attention. I've never done this before. I mean sure everyone zones out once in a while but I've always been on point and seeing as this is the first class of the day, of the school year, I shouldn't be so distracted. I should be listening and not thinking about Niall.
"Ms. Collins!" A voice pierces through my thoughts. Startled I nearly fall out of my chair. Staring up I find my teacher glaring down at me and my classmates eyes fixated on me. My cheeks flare bright pink.
"Y-yes?" I question lightly.
"Will you stop that infernal tapping." To my surprise I find that I am still tapping my pencil against my desk. I swallow hard and concentrate on the motion of my hands as I press the wood pencil against the desk and leave it there. "Thank you." She mutters straightening the jacket of her suit before brushing back a couple strands of her hair and walking off continuing to talk about our syllabus and how this class will be run. I really should be listening.
I find Samuels eyes trained on me, his head cocked and eyebrow arched. I shrug my shoulders lightly and he gives Ashdod nod of his is head. I think we just agreed to talk about this later. Melissa looks a little pissed that he's even paying me the time of day. I didn't notice before but Samuel is one of this tall, dark, handsome type. He sort of reminds me of Harry but without the curly hair. He has those same dark green eyes that can pierce through your very soul. Dark cropped hair and a devilish smile I can't believe I didn't realize he was directing toward me just a few minutes ago.
When the bell finally rings my phone is out immediately and I'm dialing Niall's number while I shoulder my backpack. "you okay? You seemed a little distracted in class." I nod my head and place the phone to my ear as it rings.
"I was." I answer simply. I don't know where Niall is in the world right now with his band but i don't want to be talking to Samuel when he answers.
"What's wrong?" He asks me. I try not to look too annoyed as I reply.
"My friend told my boyfriend I was seeing someone else when I'm not." It's not a total lie. Someone did say I was hooking up with Jackson but it wasn't someone I know.
"Does your boyfriend go to this school?" I shake my head as the phone continues to ring.
"He lives in Ireland." Niall picks up.
"Love do you know what time it is?" His hoarse voice came over the speaker.
"Ni.." I paused. "Neil, did you.. I mean my friend..." I stopped again. I just called him Neil and I also didn't know how to explain to him about the photos on TMZ without alerting Samuel of who my boyfriend was. "Can you excuse me." I spoke quickly to Samuel practically running in the opposite direction. Samuel said something in reply but I was too distressed to listen. Niall chuckled.
"Neil?" He repeated.
"Sorry Niall I was near someone I don't know I panicked, but the pictures on TMZ." I stared Niall mumbled something that sounded like TMZ? Maybe he hadn't heard yet. "It's Jackson I swear. I would never hook up with someone else. I don't know how they got those photos. It was a stupid, dumb college party my new roommate dragged me too. I didn't even want to go. How did they even find out what college I was going to!" I exclaimed in rapid succession.
"Sarah, Sarah!" Niall called out over my frantic rambling. I stopped talking taking in a deep breathe to steady myself. "I know you would never do anything to hurt me. Why are you fretting babe? It's just some stupid gossip. You don't have to call me every time it happens." I exhaled slowly and my shoulder loosened.
"I know Niall I just.. I just don't want you to think badly about me. I want you to hear things like this from me first so you don't freak out and dump me or something." Niall laughs again.
"I would never do that and the college thing may have been my fault." I groaned and face palmed myself.
"Niall!" I whined. Niall was always talking about me in interviews and always bringing me up in conversation. There isn't one interview to date, that I have watched, where he hasn't at least said my name. I don't doubt he mentioned where I was going for college in an interview. Who know what kind of crazy fangirls have transferred to my college just hopping to meet me. Luckily it's a pretty large campus, but I can't hide forever.
I don't know why the press's is still interested in me. We've been together for nearly a year now you'd think the fascination would have diminished by now. I think it's party because I'm an American that they're so interested. I'm easier to get to than Eleanor in the U.K, and even though Victoria is touring and such she's actually famous and can deal with these kinds of things. I just know people who are famous. It's different.
"I'm sorry love. I love talkin 'bout you." Niall replied. I could just see that stupid smile on his face.
"Yeah, yeah I know. You love and I love you to but you have got to stop telling the world about my personal life." Niall sighed.
"It just slips out sometime." I nodded and stared at the ground.
"I know." We're quite. I can hear the rumbling of the bus on his line and I'm suddenly aware that he's on tour and he must have been sleeping or something when I called him. "Shoot you're on tour. I'm so sorry were you asleep?" I ask him. Niall chuckles.
"Ya it's okay though. Do you feel better now?" I nod my head stupidly. "Did you nod your head?" I laugh and Niall laughs with me.
"I'm sorry! Yeah I did. I should let you go. Is it late?" I question.
"Not really." Niall says lightly.
"Yes it is! Turn off your damn phone Niall!" Louis' shouts harshly. "Sorry Sarah!" He calls out after a pause.
"It's fine. I love you Niall. Goodbye." Niall sighs and I think he just hit Louis with a pillow or something because there's some ruffling then a lot of grumbling.
"I love you too Sarah. I'll call soon okay?" I nod again.
"Yeah. Soon." I repeat rolling my eyes at how stupid I'm being.
"Goodbye love."
