New Angel | N.H.

Chapter four.

The first thing I do after the call is immediately dial Lyla's number. The like barely rings before she picks up.

"Hey girl what's going on?" I nearly scream into the line before she's done speaking.

"You would not believe what just happened!" I spit out quickly

"Well tell me since you're so excited" she giggles on the other end of the phone

"Well you know how I got verified on my social media account since I had those videos go viral a while back. I used my verified power to tweet someone."

"Spit it out already!" She yells

"I tweeted Niall and he actually responded. Not only that but long story short after I sent him the DM he added me on Snapchat. Which might I add is cute that he went through the work of finding it just to send me this dumb video. Anyways, I ended up giving him my number and he called me over FaceTime. We talked for hours and he called me pretty and he's gonna text me later but it's getting late so probably not till late tonight."

"Girl your life just gets crazier and crazier. I should made those videos instead of you" she laughs "that's so crazy though. What if you're sleeping when he texts you?" I hadn't thought about this. Our time zones are basically complete opposites of each other.

"Well I guess I'll stay up late and get up early. I'll be tired but at least I'll be tired and possibly talking to Niall. He was really cool honestly like the conversation felt easy. I'm super excited I don't know what to do with myself." I have the biggest grin on my face and I feel a vibration against my cheek signaling a new notification. I remove my phone and see a text from an unsaved number. One that I need to save immediately. I fumble over my fingers to open the message as quick as I can

Niall- *I know you're in American so I won't expect you to stay up late just to talk to me when it's morning here. I really enjoyed our call, even if I wasn't able to prove my golf skills. Text me when you're awake, goodnight.*

My heart practically skips a beat. For a second I forget I'm on the phone.

"Earth to Parker, did he send you another message or something?"

"Yeah sorry, he just said goodnight since it's getting late there. Told me to not worry about staying up late to talk to him when he wakes up and to text him when I get up. Why is he the sweetest? He barely knows me." I fall back into my bed staring up at the ceiling.

"Well keep giving me the details P, this is better than reality tv shows. My best friend is talking to a world famous singer!"

We talk for a little longer about how our semesters are going before hanging up. Lyla is majoring in psychology and absolutely hates her child development teacher, so she is loving not having to attend that class. I on the other hand, actually miss college. I was taking an anatomy class this semester and it has been so interesting. As long as I get to go back in the fall I will be happy.

I check the time before plugging my phone in to charge. It's only 5:30 pm. If Niall and I do spark some kind of friendship these time differences will be the worst. We'll only have a few hours where we can talk before it's too late for one of us to be awake. I guess I'll be getting up super early now. Who would've thought? Me. Getting up early to talk to a boy! Well who wouldn't get up early when you're waiting to get a text from Niall Horan. I may need to book a plane ticket and get my passport when this is all over.

A virus that started late December is now keeping us home well into May. My city shut down in March and I honestly haven't left the house since I moved back from school. I haven't gone on any walks, gone to the store. Nothing. Just me at home doing school work and even signing up for online summer classes. Which I'm starting to regret but I need them if I want to graduate on time. Lately I've been going out for quick photo shoots with my sister, but that's about it. I should probably change that, but I can't bothered to get dressed enough to go outside just for fun.
