Elizabeth’s POV

I was sitting outside in the quad, focusing on my homework listening to my IPod. Ever since Mr. Hawkins has asked us to write about guilt in our journals he said that he would not ask us to do anymore, so he advised me to keep my journal just in case I would need to write out my feelings. So, I have decided to throw away my previous diary and make my journal my new diary so I could start out fresh. I have to be honest that writing down my feelings and thoughts regardless of them being very dark, has really helped me out. It’s not that I don’t trust any of my friends but it’s okay to keep some things to myself because I know how they will react.

I suddenly felt someone nudge me on my shoulder, I glanced up squinting my eyes due to the bright sun and saw Niall smiling down at me. I smiled and took out my earphones as he took off his bag off his shoulder and sat down next to me.

“Hey loser” He said smiling at me with bright blue eyes. I shook my head and smiled.

“It’s nice to see you too, Niall.” I said rolling my eyes.

“What are you working on?” He asked leaning a bit to take a glance at my journal but I closed it before he could.

“Just school stuff” I said placing my journal on the ground next to me by my other text books. “I’m trying to get some of my homework done from my previous classes before our other class starts.” Niall’s smile grew as I talked.

“You’re such a nerd” He teased bending his legs placing his arm around them interlocking his fingers.

“Hey, there is nothing wrong with taking school seriously.” I pointed out holding my chin up high. “Or would you rather me being locked in my room all day?”

“No” He replied immediately. “If school distracts you then go ahead and do your homework.  Read a book” He said gesturing his hand towards me raising his eyebrows. “Read the same damn book a million times over and over again, just as long as you’re moving on. “

Great, there’s that word again. Moving on? There is no such thing as moving on, it’s a lie.

“Speaking of moving on, how are you?” Niall asked his face becoming more serious.

“I’m fine” I smiled at him and by the look on his face shows that he doesn’t believe me. I rolled my eyes.

“Niall!”  I whined and shoved my hand against his shoulder. “I’m okay. Really, I’m fine” I smiled a bright toothed smile nodding at him. Niall opened his mouth to say something but a female voice interrupted him.

“Hey, Niall” I glanced up and saw  a petite looking brunette smiling at Niall as she walked past us with a small groups of her friends. She was holding her books against her chest, blushing.

“Hey” Niall replied and with a small wave as they walked away before turning back to look at me.

“That was pathetic.” I scoffed, smiling.

“Why?” Niall asked.

“She was clearly flirting with you and all you said was hello.”

Niall pursed his lips thinking. “Well, I was just being friendly.” I raised an eyebrow at him. “Okay, then why won’t you give me some tips? What should I do so I can get a girl?”

I sighed placing my iPod on the ground looking forward at some of the students who were passing through. “Hmmm…well, you are kind of at a disadvantage considering you are a…” I paused leaning closer to him. “Virgin” I whispered.

Niall laughed hiding his face against his legs. “No I am not!” he whined glancing back up at me.

“Oh really? Do you remember the time when I was at Harry’s place and all of you guys walked in on us having breakfast and I was only wearing Harry’s t-shirt and none of you could figure out why I was there?”

“Hey, just because I didn’t want to have a very disgusting image of the two of you in my head does not mean that I didn’t know what was going on” I smiled and nodded.

“Besides, I think a girl in my math class has been giving me the eye.” Niall grinned. “Her name is Jessica.”

I narrowed my eyes at him smirking. “She’s just probably wondering why you haven’t squeezed that zit on your forehead” I lied, glancing at his forehead then back into his eyes. Niall narrowed his eyes at me shaking his head then looked away.

“Come here” I spoke up. “I can do it for you” I said sitting on my knees reaching my hands up to touch his forehead.  Niall leaned back grabbing my wrist.

“No” Niall said trying to get my hands away from his face, I giggled. “No, you dick” Niall smiled pushing us both back on the ground laughing.

“Okay, I’ll stop” I said raising my hands up in defense. Niall sat up stretching his legs out as I sat up brushing the grass off of my sleeves.

“Well, I’m sorry Ellie that I am not the type of guy who talks to a girl just so they could shag them. I actually respect girls.” Niall smiled proudly at me. “Besides, guys like that are drunk most of the time and dress funny. I mean look at Aaron” He said gesturing with his chin to the side.  I glanced up and saw Aaron walking with Caroline and some of his friends.  I rolled my eyes, Caroline there is nothing nice to be said about her. I would say otherwise but the first day of school she was the one that caused the water fountain to splash all over my face and let’s just say I took that as a warning that we should not be friends.

“I guess, I mean he’s more like a bad boy type that a drunk or druggie type.” I said looking back at Niall. “Why are you even talking about Aaron like this? I though you two were friends. “ I said tilting my head to the side. “You were the one that introduced him to us.”

“Yes, I know. “ He nodded. “We are friends it’s just, I don’t know” He sighed. “I just can’t shake the feeling that he’s bad news. I don’t know if it’s just by the way he dresses in dark colors or…”

“Niall, we all have our own style.” I said knitting my eyebrows together.

“I know but I just have this odd feeling.” He said glancing over at Aaron again. “I don’t know, maybe I’m just being paranoid” He shrugged.

“Or maybe you’re just jealous that he’s a lady’s man” I teased wiggling my eyebrows. Niall smiled and stood up as the bell rang.

“We should go our class is on the other side of the school” He said holding his hand out to me to stand up.

“You’re right” I said pushing my hair behind my ears quickly gathering up my things as before Niall helped me up. Niall grabbed my textbooks so I could wrap my earphones around my IPod putting it away in my bag as we walked to class.
