Niall’s POV

Elizabeth and I quickly headed down the halls to our class. Why do they assign students to classes that are on either side of the school? Don’t they realize that five minutes between bells does not give us enough time to do what is needed, in this case walking to one end of the school to another; or in some other cases go to the bathroom as well.

“Finally!” Elizabeth sighed out opening the door to our classroom walking quickly inside. There were two empty seats in the back, I pointed to them letting Elizabeth know that we should sit there. We walked down the aisle and sat down letting our bags fall to the floor.

“Thank you” Elizabeth smiled as I leaned over placing her textbooks on her desk. I nodded and pulled mine out of my bag placing them on my desk.

“Alright class turn to page 365 in your books and then we will begin” Mrs. Thomas, our History professor spoke up from the front of the class room. She walked behind her desk grabbing a piece of chalk and started to write on the board.

Halfway through class I started to drift off knowing that I was in no need to take down anymore notes on the subject that we were discussing. History is my best subject so I pick up things quite easily as for Elizabeth let’s just say she tries.

I glanced over at Elizabeth and saw that she was digging around in her bag pushing her hair behind her ears to get a better view. I knitted my eyebrows together wondering what she was looking for. I glanced around the room and saw that everyone was reading the pages that were assigned. I quietly tore a small piece of paper from my notebook and wrote on it placing it on Elizabeth’s desk in front of her. Elizabeth’s eyes hit the small piece of paper before picking up her pen and started to write her response.

Elizabeth’s POV

I was frantically looking through my bag when I saw Niall slip a small note on my desk. I stopped what I was doing glancing my eyes over the small handwriting.

What are you looking for?

I picked up my pen and wrote in small letters.

My journal! I can’t find it anywhere and I know I had it. 

I passed it back over to him seeing him raise his eyebrows as he read the words. He quickly wrote a response and handed the small note back to me.

You probably left it outside in the quad. We can go look after class :)

I looked over at Niall and he gave me a small smile and I nodded my head at him.  I crumbled up the small piece of paper and shoved it mindlessly into my bag. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Niall’s hand place another small paper on my desk.

Do you want to go get some ice cream after school? Maybe go to your favorite food place or something? We haven’t gone in a while, it can be just like old times :)

I smiled and picked up my black pen again.

Yea, that will be so much fun! Then maybe I can teach you how to pick up a girl and who knows you might get lucky ;)

“Mr. Horan” Mrs. Thomas scolded standing behind him. Niall quickly shoved the small note into his mouth and my eyes widened for a split second before my hand went over my mouth to hide my laughter.  I knew if he hadn’t done it Mrs. Thomas would have read the note out loud.

“Mr. Horan and Ms. Parker I do hope you two don’t make this a habit in my class” Mrs. Thomas  said pointing back and forth between us with her pencil, her other hand on her hip. Niall and I both shook our heads silently before she walked back to the front of the class.

I turned to look at Niall and he quickly spat the small note in his hand quickly getting up tossing the saliva covered note in the rubbish bin in the back corner of the room.

“See what you made me do!” Niall whispered to me his eyebrows knitted together showing his distaste of paper in his mouth. I giggled.

“It’s not my fault you aren’t sneaky about it.”

“Elizabeth and Niall do I have to send the two of you to the headmaster’s office?” Mrs. Thomas asked standing behind her desk both of her hands on top of the wooden surface with a textbook opened in front of her.

“No ma’am” Niall said shaking his head as I did mine. Mrs. Thomas sighed heavily showing a bit of her annoyance but she had a small smile on her face. Mrs. Thomas, as much as she likes to be strict with us it never plays out in her favor she knows that we are always like this and as long as we do our work she doesn’t get upset. The only reason why she says she is going to send us to the headmaster is only because teachers are expected to.
