"Harry, this is Niall. He's my uh, my friend." I smile. I don't know whether to call Niall my friend or ex boyfriend.

Harry extends his right hand for Niall to shake, "I'm Harry, nice to meet you, Niall." He smiles

Niall shakes his hand, returning a smile "My pleasure Harry." They let each other hands go.

"You're Irish, correct?" Harry asks.

"Yeah mate, you're from the UK, obviously." Niall says

"That's great." Harry says obviously annoyed.

"So Jenna, do you still have the same number?" Niall ask, oh god.

I smile, "Yes, I d-"

"Jenna we should go." Harry starts to drag me away from Niall.

"I'll text you!" I hear him call

As soon as we reach the car, I yank my forearm out of his grip.

"What the hell was that?" I yell

"What the hell was what?" He asks calmly, it annoys me.

"The guy that I like was practically asking me for my number. And you just dragged me away?" Do I like Niall? I'm not sure, but either way, I'm angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a rush." He says

"In a rush? Harry, in a rush to what?"

"To sleep, I'm really tired" he smiles

I can't help but just laugh "okay, fine I forgive you, only because I'm tired too."

His smile grows, we climb into the car, and drive back to the apartments

As soon as we arrive Harry goes to his apartment and I to mine. It is now one in the afternoon.

I change out of my casual clothes, to my pajamas. I walk over to my couch and lay down to take a nap.

About twenty minutes pass before I hear my phone get a notification.

Its an unknown number, the text reads:

*Hey, this is Jenna, right?*

Its Niall.

I text back:

*yes, who is this?*

I ask, just in case.

I get a response immediately

*its Niall :)*

I save his number and put his contact as Niall Horan.

*Hey Niall, what's up?*

*nothing really, I just wanted to ask you a question*

*ask whenever you're ready*

*are you still single?*

*Of course I am haha, and you?*

*ever since I left*

*oh, same here.*

*so, how about we go out sometime?*

I feel my stomach flutter

*sure*

*okay, when do you have time?*

*I always have time :)*

*okay, I'll message you when I find something we can do!*

I don't message back

I decide that I'm not going to sleep.

I get up and grab a Dr. Pepper from my fridge and the bag of Hot Cheetos from my pantry.
