Chapter 9

MELANIE RICHARDS

"Melanie! Breakfast's ready!" My mom shouts from downstairs. "Melanie!"

I run down through the stairs and look over at my mom who is preparing for my breakfast. "Could you please be more considerate? I'm tired and the last thing I need is you yelling at me." I groan and take a seat in my most lazy way.

"Shut up and eat." She says. "Are you going to take your car?"

"Uhm, no. I have to go to the mall with Jamie after school and I'll be home at 9 tops." I lie, looking at my plate.

"Okay, well, it's Friday night. Go out and stuff. Have fun. Instead of studying the whole time," She scowls.

"Yeah, right." I roll my eyes. "You know, most girls in my school have problems with their moms wishing to have a kind of mom like I have." I wink at her.

She laughs and tips her head back. "Right. You're every moms' dream too." She chuckles loudly. "Besides, even though you get home late, losing your virginity would be my last option to be worried."

"Mom. Shut it." I look away and chew the sweet bliss from the pancake in my mouth.

"Well?"

"Well what."

"Have you lost it?"

"Mom, no. I'm not going into this conversation." I take a sip of my fresh cold milk running down my throat as if to wake up my whole organ system.

"Okay." She chuckles and lets me finish my breakfast which I have. I wait for Jamie to pick me up as I listen to the Smiths. I sing along with Morrissey and in sudden my mom barks at my door telling me to shut up.

A honk yells outside of my house. I stack the tapes back and run to the door.

"Mom, I'm going!" I shout without waiting for my mom's reply.

"Hey." Jamie greets me as soon as I get into his sedan car.

"Hi. God, I wish you can cover me up for the date tonight with Miles." I sigh.

"Actually, Elle is coming over tonight." He says looking over at the rearview.

"What?! I want to meet Elle!" I crunch, pulling his arm tightly.

"Stop it-I'm fucking driving!" He cusses and staggers at my unexpected assault.

"I want to meet her." I plea.

"You have a date with your prince charming." He rolls his eyes.

"Well, I can cancel on him? Or maybe postpone it. I don't care, I want to see Elle!" I beg, jumping my bum on the fluffy passenger seat.

"Well, then, don't talk to me. Talk to your prince charming." He shakes his head.

"He's not my prince charming." I mimick his silly tone. At least I have someone in mind that matches the name.

"Not. . . Just yet."

"He will never be." I scowl.

As we arrive at the school, I hurry myself to History class, I walk up to Miles before Mrs. Parker comes in.

"Miles, hey." I come up to him.

"Oh, hey! So, the-the-" He stutters purposely.

"Date." I finish and straighten my lips into a thin line. "When are you going to pick me up?"

"I thought we're going after school?" He asks.

"Well, I can't. I have to be at Jamie's. Maybe you-"

"I'll pick you up at Jamie's then! When are you going to be ready?" He demands in a cheer voice.

"I don't know. At seven?" I raise my brows, playing it cool.

"Yeah, sure. Absolutely." He smiles, showing off his bright teeth.

"See you then." I force up a smile as I turn my heels around and walk back to my seat before Mrs. Parker comes in.

NIALL HORAN

How could I have been such an idiot. I forgot to ask her number. It's my only chance and I blew it away, besides why didn't she ask for it?

I can't keep her thoughts off of my mind and I'm going to be a little crazy about it since I've never felt this way before that related to girls.

"Fuck." I cuss.

I hand all Prof. Q's assignments. He's quite happy with my work. I head to my next class but I can't get my head off of that Smiths girl's phone number. Someone has to have her number. Maybe Luke or Brodie has it. I shake my head and force my mind to concentrate.

If I don't have classes today, I probably already drove down to school to catch up with the guys or maybe, I'm just dying to sneak out small chances just to see her.

"Hey, you okay?" Trevor nudges me by his elbow, catching me off guard.

"Uh-yeah." I nod.

"You look stammered a bit." He scowls.

After class, I look at my phone screen to check the time. 5 p.m. I drive down to the fraternity house for their party tonight since I have nothing to do for tonight and because I kind of needed a little drink and loosen myself up a bit by the crazy thoughts that are mentally manipulating me.
