Niall's Little Sister

Chapter 10

I woke to my blaring alarm clock that Niall just happened to buy me because I would, quote and quote, 'sleep in late'. I took a quick shower and changed into black skinny jeans, a plaid, blue Hollister beach shirt, a jean jacket, with blue converse.

I grabbed my leather tote and shoved some notebooks I bought a few days ago into it. I also put some make up, pencils, and my phone into it. I ran downstairs and quickly ate breakfast and was on my way. I had to walk to school since it wasn't far from my house.

******************************************

I walked into my first class, only to see the only person I've been avoiding. Ryan.

I took a seat at the back of the class as the teacher started calling role.

"Sutton Horan" The teacher called out.

"Here!" I said snapping out of my thoughts.

I guess I would be writing Sutton Horan on all of my papers. 

He continued to call role as I started drawing random things on my notebook.

"My name is Mr. Bullock." He said as I tuned out.

He started talking about the periodic table. I was completely lost in my thoughts.

"Ms. Horan, Ms. Horan!" He said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh sorry, what were you saying?" I asked him.

"Maybe you can tell the class the third element of the periodic table."

"Lithium" I responded quickly.

"Good" He replied and kept talking about the periodic table.

The bell eventually rang and I took my book for Chemistry and was about to walk out when Mr. Bullock called my name. Believe it or not, he seemed oddly familiar.

"Ms. Horan, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Um, sure." I said walking over to his desk.

"You seemed, distracted today when you walked in. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that, I've never been to school in London, or to London itself."

"What school did you go to before you came here?"

"Ballard High School in Miami, Florida."

"You lived in the United States?"

"Yeah"

"How strange. And your brother, Niall, he's Irish, how come you aren't Irish?"

Wow this guy wanted to know everything about me.

"Um, well, my mom and dad divorced and then after my mom died, I lived with my brother Niall."

"Oh, well, I'll let you go so you won't miss your next class."

"Bye" I said as I walked out of his classroom.

It was lunch now. Hooray! (Did you catch the sarcasm there?) Anyways, I had nowhere and nobody to sit with. I went outside like most of the other students and sat under a tree. I had brought lunch but I wasn't really hungry. I just doodled in one of my notebooks until I felt someone sit next to me.

I looked up to see Ryan. I just got up and grabbed my bag, about to leave when he grabbed my arm.

"Sutton, wait." He said.

"Let go of me Ryan." I said trying to pull away.

"No. Can we just talk."

"Talk about what?"
