A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

SURPRISE!!!

LENNON'S POV

Thank goodness Niall didn't chase after me, at least I don't think that he did, there a lot of people around. I looked down at my watch to check the time: 6:43. No!! I have to be at this meeting in the less than twenty minutes! I arrived at the hotel a few minutes later and ran onto the elevator. I got a few strange looks after I pressed the button for the eighth floor about seven times but whatever. Once we finally reached my floor, it seemed like we stopped at every other floor letting people off, I ran out the door and reached for my room key in my back pocket, probably not the safest place to keep it. I opened the door and threw my clothes off. I had to make a good impression at my first college meeting so I put on a pair of white jeans, a flowy floral top, and a pair of black heels, not too high of course. I reapplied my makeup and checked the time: 6:58. Ahhhhhhh!!!! I bolted out of the door and ran to the elevator. Remembering that the meeting was on the seventh floor, I skipped the elevator and ran down the steps, not too easy in my heals however. I opened the door to the seventh floor and bolted down the hallway until I found the meeting room. Several other people were entering at the same time I was so I slowed down, relived.

One of the professors took role and then started going over the schedule. While he was talking about the plans for next week, the door to the room swung open and in walked a familiar looking boy. I looked down at his red baseball shirt and I knew where I recognized him from, he was the cute guy at Starbucks. He apologized for being late and took a seat a few away from me. I smiled at him and he returned my smile. It gave me butterflies. The meeting continued on. Apparently, there was a problem with the hotel in Scotland and since it was such late notice, we were skipping Scotland all together. Darn, I was looking forward to seeing Edinburgh. Instead, we were going to Ireland next month and then back to England for August. I guess there were lots of things to see here.

When the meeting was over, I went to talk to a few people, I didn't know anyone but I think everybody was in the same boat. Everyone was very friendly. I was talking to a girl named Katie when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I swung around and I was face to face with cute, red baseball shirt guy.

"Hey!" he said. My stomach was doing somersaults. "My name is Zac."

"Hey," I managed to get out, "I'm Lennon."

"That's a really pretty name," he blurted out, blushing. As soon as he said this, I thought of Niall. I'm sorry. Here I was talking to this really hot guy and all I could think about was Niall. It was the first words that Niall said to me, the first time he noticed me. Why do I remember that? Lennon, shut up.

"Thanks. So you like baseball?" I really couldn't think of anything else to say but baseball was my favorite sport and it was a way to the get the conversation started.

"Are you kidding me? Best sport out there!" I'm glad we agreed on this. After talking some more, he shyly raised his hand to the back of his neck, sighing quietly.

"Lennon, do you think.. umm.. we could.. ummm... hang out sometime?"

It was cute the way he was shy about it. "Yeah of course! Let's exchange numbers then!" I said confidently. Wow, I had never been this comfortable around a guy before. Cool! I reached into my back pocket to get my phone, it wasn't there. I thought back to the last time I had it... Starbucks.

"Shit," I said under my breath. I rarely curse, but I felt it to be necessary.

"Something wrong?" Zac asked concerned.

"I think I left my phone at Starbucks today, but I can plug my number into your phone and you can text me saying it's you later."

"That sounds good," he said, handing me his crappy flip phone. I plugged in my number and wrote my name in as Lennon ;).
