'no, No, NO!' I think as I load my things onto my school's charter bus. It was going to take an hour to get to the airport in Dublin from my school and I was still in the shocked state I'd been in since Mrs. Dixon told me my trip partner was going to be... Niall.

'This must be I dream, I MUST be dreaming.' I think while slightly shaking my head. 'No.... this can't be a dream, this is a fucking nightmare. But if I pinch myself I'll wake up and everything will be ok.' I add before, very forcefully, pinching my arm.

Sadly, I didn't wake up and this wasn't a dream. I really was going to have to spend all my time with Niall, and I'd rather die.

“Class... Class! You can sit anywhere you want on the bus ride to Dublin. However if you make to much noise I will seat you somewhere else!” Mrs. Dixon announces as she enters the bus.

“Thank god!” I whisper to myself as I search for my two friends, Ciara and Ava. They were two of the three friends I made while living here in Mullingar. The third one was Hayes, but I didn't bother to look for him. He was 'one of them', one of the popular people, and he was best friends with Niall. No one knew about our little friendship and we both kind of liked it that way.

I feel someone grab my arm which makes me stiffen up and quickly turn around, frightened. My eyes meet a pair of piercing gray ones, and I immediately soften up.

“Bloody hell Ava, you scared the shit out of me!” I say to her with an annoyed tone but I couldn't help but smile.

“Addie don't be so paranoid.” She says, her American accent ringing through my ears. See, Ava and Ciara aren't from Ireland either. Ava's from California and Ciara's from London.

“Well... I have a reason to be.” I say childishly as I pout. I knew they knew I wasn't in a good mood, they've seen first hand how mean Niall can be to me.

“Yeah babe I know, your trip partner is NIALL! That really sucks.” She says, trying to be sympathetic. “If you want, you can come room with Ciara and I some of the time.” She adds, trying to make the situation better.

“Naww Ava, I'll be fine. As long as Niall and I stay as far away from each other as we possibly can, everything will be smooth.” I say, trying to play it off like everything was ok. I wasn't really the type to share my problems with other people, but Ava could see right through me. She gives me a 'yeah right...who are you trying to kid?' look before grabbing my hand. “C'mon... Ciara and I saved you a seat.”

Ava leads me too the very back of the bus where there's a row of three seats and a very patient Ciara waiting for us. As I walked down the bus isle, I didn't notice a foot conveniently placed right in my way and subsequently causing me to trip an fall, and I mean I totally face planted.

For the second time today I was laying on the ground, and honestly it was getting real old. As roars of laughter ripple throughout the bus, I look up to see who the cause of yet another embarrassing moment was.

Not to my surprise, it was Niall.

“I'm so sorry.” He says trying to hold back his laughter, but of course, he was failing. He was acting again, acting like he cared. Taunting me. “Do you need a hand?” He asks me, shooting me an 'apologetic' smile while being falsely sincere.

I opened my mouth to reply to him, but I was cut off by Ava.

“No, she's fine.” Ava snaps while glaring at him.

'If looks could kill....' I think as I pick myself up. I mouth the word 'cunt' as I show him the finger before continuing to walk to my seat.

“So... rooming with Niall hu? I feel so bad for you.” Ciara says as I sit next to her, genuinely sounding as if she was worried about me.
