The Heartbreaking Truth //A ONE DIRECTION FANFICTION//

3. Some New Competition

(Niall's POV)

(At the end of the long school day)     

"Oh my goodness, Finally! That class was so boring, I could've tooken a nap right then and there!" Said Harry as me and my friends walk down our school hallway, dim from the lack of light. He was saying other things but I could care less. My mind kept going back to Maggy. Why was she here? Why here of all places? I thought I could finally live a guilt and hate free life. Seeing how she is here now, I have to live with her as my burden. I was tooken out of my thoughts when I heard one of the young lads of my group say,

"What was up with you and that Maggy girl, Niall?"

I froze. That was not a path I wanted to explain. I had too much anger and guilt built into that tale.

If I'm being honest, I'd really rather not talk about it." I said in a cold, but calmed voice. I could tell they were surprised about my sudden cold tone, but I didn't care right now. I just wanted to walk away and forget all about this conversation. So, that is exactly what I did. I walked away in absolute silence, being able to hear the really quiet wispers my friends were saying behind me.

"Why was he so cold when I brought up Maggy? Does he not like her or something? She literally just came here."

"I don't know dude. Maybe it's just a touchy subject or a very bad subject for him to talk about.. Dont take it personal."

To answer those questions, I got cold because just hearing her name makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't like her because..........

She broke my heart...

My thoughts stopped in their tracks when I walked into a door and was ready for my next class.

Finally, it was last period of the school day, all the students groaning and whining about how long of a day it's been and how PE is gonna be the end of them, well, except for me. I love PE.

Just as I got changed, coach said for everyone to go outside and do 4 laps around the entire football field. Everyone got the the starting line and once coach blew his whistle...
ZOOOOOOOOOOM...
Off I go, running until I had lapped everyone.
The wind twirling my hair between its fingertips, my feet stomping on the red track with white lines to show sections, the feeling of being free is just wonderful. That was what being in PE meant for me.

Freedom.

Then again,, that was until I felt a sudden gust of wind move past me. I looked up and couldn't believe it!! SOMEONE HAD ACTUALLY PASSED ME, NIALL HORAN, THE FASTEST GUY IN SCHOOL, AND WAS THE FIRST TO FINISH!!!!!!!!!

WHO IS THIS GUY!!!???? I thought as I was breathing heavily. I needed to know who they are. These question were both answered when they turned around and gave me a very familiar, annoying smirk and daggers shooting out of their eyes.

"Maggie!?" I said a little bit too loud. This was not good, this was really not good. She had barely just gotten here and she is already better than then me!!! Not that I would ever admit it, but daaaannnngggg that girl runs fast. How the crap is she so fast!!!!??? Last time I saw her, she ran slower than a snail, although that was 10 years ago...

She walked away and made her way to the coach, starting a conversation that I could care less to eavesdrop in.

Just then I heard one of my best mates say, "HOLY CRAP!!!! MAGGIE JUST BEAT NIALL!!!!" I knew immediately who had said it. It was no other than the one himself, Louis Tomlonson. I was brought out of my thoughts and brought back to Earth. I was overflowing with anger and rage.

No....No...NO....NO

No way that happened and no way am I letting that happen again. I will not allow my reputation go down just because some girl showed up and showed off her skills. This will not be what happens this year...
