The next thing I knew, Niall quickly jolted his head away from mine.

"Niall.." I begin, trying to figure out why my heart was beating as fast as it was. I instantly felt my cheeks begin to burn.

"Bailie, oh my god. I'm so sorry, I don't know what I was thinking.. I'm so stupid, I'm sorry.." Niall said, getting up from his bed, walking over to his door.

"Niall, it's-"

"Get out.." I hear from him.

"Wh-what?" I whisper, looking up at him in disbelief.

"Just please.. Leave."

I get up quickly, walking over to him, looking up at his face. I could see the guiltiness in his eyes. I tried to ask him what was wrong with him, but I felt like it'd just cause problems that I didn't feel like dealing with. All I could get out of my mouth was a "fine", and then I left.

...

The next day at school just felt plain awkward. I couldn't look at Niall the way I wanted to because of the kiss. I wanted to talk to him about it, but he was being a jerk, so I just tried to brush it off.

Lunch came along and I was sitting with a few of my friends trying to get rid of the thought of Niall, but it didn't exactly wanted to work the way I wanted it to. My feelings about him just kept getting stronger as the day went on, and I needed to talk to him, but I just didn't know how to address it.

.....

After school, I decided to get on Facebook to try to talk to him, although I knew it probably wasn't the best way.

My fingers danced around on the keyboard until I finally had the courage to send a message.

Me: Hey.

It had been a few minutes and I began to feel anxious about sending anything in the first place until I finally saw the messages notification pop up with Niall's name on it.

Niall: hey..

Me: I know that this isn't the best way to address the problem with you, but honestly, I've been so afraid to talk with you in person..

Niall: ....

Niall: you know that im sorry right??

Me: Sorry about what?

Niall: you know what I'm sorry about... The kiss.. remember..?

Me: But you shouldn't be sorry, Niall!

Niall: I shouldnt..?

Me: Of course not... I enjoyed it..

Niall: Seriously?

Me: yeah. I'm telling the truth. You enjoyed it too, right..?

Niall: Yeah.

Niall: come over.

Me: to your house? Right now??

Niall: Yeah. If that's ok.

Me: It's fine.. I'll be there in 10.

Niall: Perfect.

I shut my laptop and threw it on my bed, quickly grabbing my phone. I locked my door, and snuck out of my window, leaving it wide open behind me. My parents don't need to know where I'm going. If they knew that I was meeting up with a boy at 10 o'clock at night, they'd kill me.
