Niall's POV
The end of the day bell rang and I quickly packed up all of my homework. I speeded to Bella's locker, excited to hang out at her house. I spotted her packing up all her stuff into her backpack. I snuck up behind her quietly and put my hand over her eyes.
"Guess who?" I did my best to get rid of my obvious Irish accent.
"Hmmm... Well considering I only know one person in the school.... Niall?" She laughed and guess.
"Darn it! How'd you know it was me?" I laughed, knowing I did a terrible job of hiding who I was.
"Lucky guess." She joked.
We started walking to her house which was two blocks away. We talked, getting to know each other even more. When we got to get house we went inside. I could hear shouting from the house, but figured it would be best not to ask.
Bella's POV
As soon as I walked in the door I heard shouting. I couldn't believe it. They had to do this now? The one time I bring a friend home too..... I walked into the living room and saw my parents arguing with each other, as usual. I couldn't figure out what they were fighting over, but then again, when can I ever tell? I cleared my throat loudly in order to try to get their attention. At first it was like I wasn't even there. They continued arguing.
I sighed and said a bit loudly, "Mom! Dad!" They stopped arguing when they saw I was there.
"Who's this lovely young man you have with you?" My mom asked.
"Mom, Dad, this is my friend Niall that I met at school." I said, smiling a bit.
They turned to Niall and smiled. "It's very nice to meet you." They both said, acting as if we didn't just walk in on them arguging.
I sighed, telling them, "We are going to go to my room and do some homework if you need me."
I said nothing else and pulled Niall upstairs to my room with me. I closed the door quickly and started to apologize to him.
"Niall, I'm so sorry about that! They have been fighting so much lately and I have no idea why."
"It's ok Bella. You don't have to apologize for it." He said. "I understand."
"Let's just pretend that never happened." I said, pulling my homework out.
He nodded and pulled out his homework as well.
We spent the rest of the time until he had to leave, doing homework and talking.
Niall's POV
I was having a ton of fun hanging out with Bella and was very dissappointed when I got a call from my mom telling me to come home. I sighed and packed up my homework.
"My mom just called, I have to head home. I wish I could stay, but I'll see you tomorrow!" I said smiling.
"Of course! I had a lot of fun hanging out!" She said back, smiling too.
I walked home and went into my bedroom getting ready for bed. As I layed in bed, I thought of Bella. I was feeling like I was starting to develop feelings for her as 'more than friends'.
