Denial

Chapter 20

I’m not sure why or how everyone in the school suddenly found out that me and Niall are together, but they know and they’re already talking about it. People never talk about me, because i’m not someone who gets attention, i’m just average. However, people do talk about Niall, because they find him handsome and he is friends with Joey and everyone. So, they probably find it hard to believe that someone so nice and funny like Niall, can be with someone like me, a nobody. That is the thing about Niall, everyone likes him because he is never a jerk with anyone, he is always nice. I’ve met people that don’t like Harry or Joey because they have  “manwhore” reputations, or because they actually treat bad other people in school. Niall, on the other hand, is someone who treats women with respect and has a “gentlemen” reputation. So yeah, people don’t know why Niall would like to be with someone like me, if he has other much better options.

I don’t feel bad about it though, because I like Niall and i like our relationship, I don’t care if other people disagree. If they have a problem, too bad for them, their comments won’t make me change my mind. I’m not offended, to be honest, I’m just starting to get tired of all the talking. Why don’t they mind their own business? Yeah I’m dating Niall, it is not a big deal, we’ve been friends since we were younger. I just hate being the centre of attention, I don’t know how Amy enjoys it so much, it sucks. 

I ignore the stares from a group of girls from my Literature class, and I make my way to my seat. I’ve managed to ignore everyone’s comments all day, and I’m glad that no one has asked me anything. I still don’t understand why people make it all a big deal. I’m glad it is my final class, because i really want school to end already.

I see Harry entering the classroom, and just when he turns to look at me, I look away immediately. I’ve been avoiding him ever since Saturday, not like he has even tried to talk to me, but still. He hasn’t even bothered to text me or anything, and I’m glad. I’m glad he is finally leaving me alone. However, even though he hasn’t talked to me, I know he has been watching me. I’m not sure why, but I’ve catch him staring sometimes, and i’ve also felt his stare. I’m not sure if he knows that i’m dating Niall now. I’m not sure why, but a part of me wants to rub it in his face. 

He sits right behind me, in his usual seat. I feel his stare on my back, and I swear I have this huge urge to turn around, but I don’t. I ignore it. Of course, Joey is in this class and he sits right beside his friend.

“Oh hey Mrs.Horan” he greets. I roll my eyes, even though he can’t see me.

“I knew you two were going to end up together. He has had this huge crush on you for such a long time, i’m not sure why though.” he says.

“If you think you’re offending me by saying that, you’re wrong” I say, and i can’t help to chuckle. I find it funny when someone tries to offend you, but they just sound so immature so you end up laughing instead.

“So are you guys a thing now?” he asks.

“None of your business Joey” I reply.

“Niall is my friend, I have the right to now”

“Well then ask him” 

“Bitch” he mutters in a whisper. I guess I wasn’t meant to hear, but I did. A small mischievous smile appears on my face. I love being a total bitch with the people I hate the most.
