-Kendall's POV-

*friday at school*

I'm sitting here in class and all I can think about is my date tonight. I can't even handle how excited I am. Or how nervous. I've never been on a proper date before. Heck, I'm more of a virgin than Mary.

I guess that's understandable if you're waiting until your soul mate.

The bell rings, signaling lunch. I walk to my locker and see Sterling leaning against my locker. As I get closer, I see a prominent smirk on his face.

"So hows lover boy?" He asks. I blush and quickly open my locker.

"He's not my lover boy. We just have a date tonight. And I'm super nervous. But more excited," I gush. He just laughs at my mini-rant.

"Well tell me all the details tomorrow. I'm going home early." Before I can ask he says, "Doctors appointment."

"Okay. Have fun?" I say and pull him in for a big hug. That's what I love about Sterling. He gives amazing hugs.

He laughs again and walks towards the doors of the school. I grab my lunch box and head to the cafeteria.

-Niall's POV-

I can't believe what I just saw. Kendall. Hugging another guy. Seriously? It's not like they kissed or anything. But on the same day as our date?

I don't really know if I'm mad at Kendall or the guy she was hugging.

Probably both.

I walk into the cafeteria and sit at the normal table with the guys. Liam speaks up and says, "What's wrong, Ni? You look more pissed than usual."

I shrug and sit. I see Kendall and Ava walking towards the table. I quickly turn away from Kendall and concentrate on my food. I feel her sit down beside me and say, "Hi, Niall." I ignore her.

She gently touches my shoulder and I shrug her off. "What's wrong? Are you okay? You can tell me. Don't. Shut me out." I ignore her again.

"Niall, seriously man. You've got a hot girl craving your attention." Harry says, causing Louis to pout. Harry blows him a kiss mouthing, "You're hotter, babe."

I sigh and turn to face her. Her eyes are wide and curious. Her lips are set in a small pout; god I can't stay mad at someone this beautiful.

I cough and say, "Follow me." I don't wait for her to respond. I pull her shirt sleeve and head towards the nearest supply closet. I drag her in and lock the door behind us.

"This is going to sound stupid, but who was that guy you hugged before lunch?" I ask and immediately look down, playing with my fingers. I hear just hear laughter. I look up to see her cracking up. What?

-Kendall's POV-

"This is going to sound stupid, but who was that guy you hugged before lunch?" Niall asks. I think for a moment before dying with laughter. I see Niall's confused face at my laughing.

I pretend to wipe a tear from my eye and say, "Niall, that was Sterling. You know? Best friend? The one that's completely obsessed with Zayn? The gay one? Yeah, him."

He blushes furiously and mumbles something about being an idiot.

I push his chin up with my finger and make him look at me, "It's okay to be jealous, Niall. It shows you care. But next time, tell me okay? Don't ignore me."

He nods and gives me his winning smile, "Are we still up for tonight?" He asks.

I nod and pull him in for a hug. This is nothing like one of Sterling's hugs. This hug makes my heart flutter and my stomach flop.

"We should probably get back before our friends think we're having sex in a janitor's closet." Niall says, trying to hold back laughter. I just giggle and walk out the door back to the lunch table.

We sit down and all of our friends have their eyes on us. Louis is the first to speak up, "You both don't look freshly fucked so I'm guessing you just talked?"

Niall and I look at each other and laugh harder than we ever have.

What a day. Hopefully the date will be as rememberable as this lunch.
