  When my alarm clock went off the next morning, I was absolutely dreading today at school,and my entire being ached from falling asleep on this stupid floor. My mind couldn't get over the fact that Oli and I kissed last night, and that he was the one to initiate it. So does this mean that he feels the same toward me that I do him? I really didn't know what to think, but something is telling me that I wasn't imagining any of it at all. From the gentle touches we always give each other , to us holding hands in a friendly way, at least that's what Oli says to everyone who consistently thinks we are more, but to me it was ALWAYS more, and it ALWAYS made my heart beat just a little faster for him. "ZOEI, GET DOWN HERE NOW! ITS 7:45 YOUR LATE TO SCHOOL!" screamed my annoying mother. Looking at the IHome to my left, my breath caught in my throat. Its damn near 8:00 and I'm late to school. "SHIT!" I cursed to myself, damn Oli and my stupid thoughts! I hastly threw on some jeans, a T-shirt, and my purple vans. Running down stairs I grabbed my beanie and my keys , then rushed out. As I pulled up into the parking lot, I heard the 1st bell ring, signaling 1st period. Racing out as fast as I could, I finally made it inside and to World Geography, when the wind got knocked out of me. Bracing myself for the fall, I stuck my arms out, when it never came. "Are you okay?" Asked a deep voice. When I opened my eyes, I came face to face with the most magnificent baby blues. Still in shock, he responded again. "I'm so sorry, I should've been walking faster, my names Niall, what's yours?" I noticed that I was still resting in his arms, against his chest. Backing up slightly, I finally got a good look at my rescuer. He had the most perfect blonde hair, that was brown at the roots, and spiked up into a quiff. His skin was milky smooth, and his teeth perfectly straight. Ironcally we literally had on the same outfit . Black jeans , gray T, with purple vans, and black beanie. Letting my eyes travel back up, I noticed this Niall guy was looking at me like I had two heads or some shit, then I realized I haven't introduced myself yet. "Zoei, Zoei Bailey" He stuck out his hand and as we touched, I felt a surge of energy in between. I automatically took my hand away because I've only ever had that feeling with Oli. "Nice to meet you." Niall smiled, and I thought I could just die right then and there. It was perfect. "Umm excuse me Mr.Horan, and Ms.Bailey are you two going to join us, or just stand outside my door the entire period?" SHIT , school! As I looked around, I realized that the bell has already rung and everyone was already inside. Embarrassed , I slowly walked into the classroom and found my seat. Niall walked in behind me shortly, and I've just now noticed that his seat is right next to mine.Great , I thought , looking to my left Niall smiled at me again, and this time I sheepishly smiled back. I'm pretty sure I was blushing like an idiot the entire time, but I was positive I didn't miss the intense glare that Oli was sending our way throughout the whole interaction between us, and the different flash of emotions crossing his face every 5 seconds as he steadily gazed at me.
