They Bully Me

Chapter 16 ~I Can Tell~

Liam's PoV

"Oh, nothing," I laughed, shutting the journal.

"Really? So then can I see?"

"No, it's a little embarrassing."

"Oh c'mon, Liam! We've been friends for ages, stop being so secretive."

"It's nothing. Really. Just... so how was the plan going to go?" He seemed to forget about everything once I asked, he loved the plan, he couldn't ever stop thinking about it.

"Yes, I was thinking about doing it at the end of the school year, the others agreed. I graduate after that! And we go on the X Factor then too. What about you?"

"I say it's great. It leaves me, I mean us, a long time."

"Oh your not the best Liam, but keep on trying," Louis laughed, patting my back.

"Uh-huh," I muttered.

"Well, I brought the other lads over, we need to talk about the plan."

"Without telling me?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Well, okay. Bring them up," I told him, wanting him to get out.

Once he did, I quickly hid the journal. No on was allowed to look in it. Especially them. They can't know that I want to help Emma and Danielle.

Emma's PoV

It's all my dad's fault. If he didn't exist, none of this would've ever happened.

I heard the door open downstairs, and I got up from the bed to see it was. Mum, not Dani. Great. But I could at least try asking her.

"Hey, uh, Mum? How do I get revenge on someone who did something extremely bad to me?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't understand fully.

"Oh, it's easy! Just wait soon. Something amazing will happen to you, just you wait," she replied as she was unpacking the groceries.

How did she know I was waiting? I haven't ever told anyone about it. And exactly how did she know that something amazing would really happen soon.

If she was right, I would be breaking through these walls soon, I'll be free.

"When?" I asked as I started helping her.

"You turn 14 in August, right?" I nodded. So my age depended on it? Was it confirmation or what? Because I never was baptized. And I don't even know if I have a religion.

"Not to bad. About 4 months from now then."

"What exactly will be happening?"

"Oh sorry, I can't tell you yet. It's a surprise. Since you started late, I can't make it earlier."

"Um, okay?"

"You'll understand soon, don't worry."

Then my revenge shall wait four months. But watch out "dad". I'll be coming in like a bulldozer.

Niall joined me as I walked to History. Both of us were late, as usual. But I thinki he just liked to tag along. To look like we were friends. But I knew we weren't.

As we got into class, the teacher gave us a disapproving look and pointed to two seats.

Niall sat behind me and smiled as he did so. I turned back to the front and rubbed my face with my hands. He's so good at acting.

"Mr. Horan, who was it who first discovered Australia?" the teacher asked after a long time o talking and asking us to take notes.

"Uh... um, I think a cook?" He was going to be popular soon. The populars' IQ were always pretty low. And Niall didn't even know who Captain James Cook was.

"Full name, Horan."

"Uh... Leon?"

"Have you not been listening at all today, Mr. Horan? It's James Cook. We have exams soon, so I suggest you study pages 125 to 129 if you want to get at least a D in this class. You used to be surprisingly good at History in Coláiste Mhuire." Everyone was looking at Niall, including me. He looked so embarrassed, I would've almost felt bad for him, if only he hadn't betrayed me.

At lunch, the three of us sat together as usual. But it was just a tad bit different this time. Now we knew Niall was faking it.

"So, Niall. Do you wanna come over today after school?" Dani asked.

"Ah, no sorry I can't. I've got some practicing to do for the X Factor. I want to win."

"Oh, well what song are you planning on singing?"

"So Sick. It's not too hard." And then he sang a bit of the song. I could tell he was trying to show off, because he caught the tables around us' attention. They glared at Dani and I, but looked at Niall as if he were some sort of God. It just wasn't fair.

Everyone clapped and applauded when he finished. The heat from my cheeks was enough to melt me, but they didn't. I just did not want attention now and because of Niall, I got attention.

"Thanks!" he said, beaming. Everyone awed at his Irish accent, but I only hated him more.

I couldn't believe he would do such a thing. The boys do it again to me. I was sick and tired if it, why didn't Niall just say it straight to my face?

It eventually died down, and Niall looked back at us.

"So... any other plans?"

"Yeah, I was going to practice with the lads. They're going on X Factor too."

"Wait. Who are 'the lads'?"

"Uh, friends from Mullingar." Then I spoke up.

"Are you sure that they aren't five boys in this very room? They go by Louis, Harry, Justin, Liam and Zain?"

"Ah, sh*t," he muttered.

"No use hiding, Niall. We found out. Now go scurry over to your little friends over there," Dani said, pointing behind her.

He pushed his lunch tray in her direction, the soup sloshing around inside. And just as it was about to ruin Dani's shirt, the soup stopped in mid air.

"How did you do that?" Niall gasped.
