Come back to me...

Chapter 3

Rachel POV

Geez, I need to stop staring at Dominic and actually pay attention to what the English teacher was saying. We were not late, but we got scolded, nonetheless, for being the last people to enter the classroom. Now we're going over the things we're gonna do this year. As usual, I'm probably going to wait until the last day to do all of my assignmets. Stupid procrastination.

Suddenly, I saw old, wrinkly fingers being snapped in my face. "Whaaa?"

"Excuse me, Mrs. Evans. I didn't me to snap you out of your gaze." My English teacher, Ms. Andrews, said coldly. There were snickers all around the room when she said that. What a bitch. "Now pay attention!"

"Yes, Mrs. Andrews." After she left me, I mumbled "Bitch." Then, I heard another giggle. This time it belonged to my bestfriend. "What are you giggling on about?" I asked her.

"Dude, you were staring at him pretty hard. Does little Ratchet have a crushy wushy?" She said, using my nickname.

"Oh shut up. And I don't. I just got a little distracted." I retorted

"Yeah. Distracted by his muscles." Yep. Now I know I'm blushing. I must look like a tomato.

"Kayla!" I hissed at her, but I didn't deny the fact that he had really big muscles. Muscles that I just wanted to feel and grab and make them mine. Shit. Am I drooling?

"Julliards! Evans! Unless the both of you want detentions, I suggest that you keep your mouths shut!" Ms. Andrews yelled

"Yes, ma'am." We both said.

"Bitch." I heard Kayla say. I giggled, but not loud enough for that old bat to hear.

"You guys sure are troublemakers." Dominic said as me, Kayla, and Dominic sat down at a table.

"Oh back in English?" Kayla questioned. "Yeah. Sometimes, Rach and I talk a little too much, but that teacher was being a pain in the ass. I bet she doesn't get enough sex."

Me and Dominic bursted out laughing and soon Kayla was on the floor, crying with laughter. We got weird looks around the cafeteria, but we didn't care. Kayla and I were always like this.

"Who isn't getting enough sex?" I heard an irish accent ask with confusion. Niall. Niall came here in his freshman year. He was Kayla's next door neighbor and she hadn't ever been happier. They instantly became friends and hung out together almost everyday. They would be so cute together, but the both of them were so oblivious. It was obvious that they both liked each other, but I knew they would never admit that.

"Hey, Ni." Kayla greeted him, blushing a little. She definitely likes him."And it's that old English teacher, Ms. Andrews. She yelled at me and Rach for no damn reason! And she smells like cats. Ugh. Why did we have to get her for English?"

"Hahahaha! Sucks to suck, Koala." He laughed as he pinched her cheeks.

"Hey shut up! And you're an ass." She crossed her arms and looked away from him, chin up.

"Aww. Come on, Kayla. I'm sorry and I didn't mean it. Now come here and give me a hug so you can introduce me to your new friend."

After 10 seconds of silence, she jumped out of her seat and practically pounced on him, hugging the life out of him. He hugged her with the same fierceness and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Completely normal for them. I looked back at Dominic, his mouth gaping.

"Dom, if you don't close your mouth, you'll catch flies." I whispered in his ear, not wanting to ruin Kayla and Niall's moment.

"Sorry. Are they like going out or something?"

"Nah. They haven't told each other how they feel yet, but they will soon. Trust me." I winked at him. We turned our attention back to them.

He released her, but she pouted it. He saw it and put his arm around her. Then, he stuck out his hand to Dominic and said "Hey. I'm Niall Horan. I'm Rachel and Kayla's best friend. And you are..." He trailed off.

"Oh! Yeah. I'm Dominic, but you can call me Dom." He ended with that beautiful smile.

"Cool name!" He was always enthusiastic. "How ya doin, mate? How's high school treating you?"

Dominic chuckled. He has a cute chuckle. "Thanks, and I'm alright. High school is cool, but that English teacher was kind of mean. It's fine though. Sorry, I know you get this all the time, but are you Irish?"

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Niall burst out laughing. What was wrong with him? We didn't know.

"Umm, what's so funny?" Dominic asked, giving him a strange look.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just find it funny when someone asks me that because I'm obviously Irish. I could be a leprechaun for all I know."

At that, we all started laughing. Oh, Niall. What are we gonna do with you?

"So, I was wondering, since you're the new kid and all that you might want to come to a party at my house tomorrow, on Friday?" Niall asked.

"Wait. Hold on. I've known you for 3 years and you've barely known Dominic for 10 minutes and you invite him first?!" Kayla yelled at the Irish lad.

"Give me one sec." Niall told Dominic as he turned to Kayla. "Koala, you are my absolute best friend. I was just being polite and inviting Dominic since he's new around here and could use a couple of friends. And anyways, you don't need an invite because you basically live in my house. Plus, the party would be boring without my partner in crime." He winked. "Do you get it now?"

"Yeah, I guess so. But it would have been nice if you had invited me." She said ducking her head.

"Kayla, I almost forgot how stubborn you are." He said with a chuckle. He was now getting on one knee and held her hand. Kayla was beyond confused.

"Will you, Kayla Jennifer Julliards, come to my party on Friday night?" He asked her formerly as me and Dominic were literally biting our hands to keep the laughter in.

Kayla rolled her eyes, then smiled. "Haha, very funny. But yeah I'll come. Only because you begged me." Kayla said jokily.

"Oh please." Ni said to her. "So, Dominic would you like to come?"

"Wait. So, I don't get an invite?" I said, biting my lip to not laugh right there. Me and Niall were pretty close as well. He was like a brother to me. But I also loved to push his buttons.

"RACHEL, I SWEAR! DON'T YOU DARE START THIS AGAIN!" He yelled and I couldn't take it anymore. I laughed so loud and snorted. When that happened, I laughed even harder.

"I was kidding, Ni. Take a joke!" I said while thumping his head.

"Ow! Bitch!" He was obviously kidding, but I could tell that he was a little irritated. Mission complete.

"Yeah, yeah. You know you love me, Nialler."

"I wish I didn't." He mumbled under his breath, but I heard it.

"HEY!"

He laughed. Niall was such a prick.

"Kidding! Kidding. Jesus, Rachel! Take a joke!" He was mocking me now.

"Whatever. Just ask him the stupid question." I said while rolling my eyes. Niall didn't have enough energy to ask the question, so he just looked at him with an eyebrow arched.

"Yeah, I"ll be there." Domino smiled. Damn. That smile could make any girls knees wobble.

"Cool! Starts at 10." He winked. After that we proceeded with the rest of our classes and went home. That was a good first day, I thought to myself.
