The Missing Piece
Chapter 2
Niall POV
*ding ding d-ding ding ding d-ding*
Great there goes the bell, we still don’t know who’s in our class, I have form room first though. D07, this is my form room every year, the second bell rang and I walked inside with the rest of my class, the only person I knew and have talked to before is my ex-girlfriend, and honestly I don’t feel like talking to her. The teacher began rambling on about a new year, new standards blah, blah, blah.
“Niall Horan?” I looked up to see the teacher looking at me, a couple of students were as well, others were just talking amongst themselves.
“Yes?” I replied, the students turned their heads back.
“Are you here?” she asked chuckling.
“No” I replied covering my face, I split my fingers to see her reaction; she was just laughing quietly and shaking her head. I had a packet of chips in my pocket, I began unzipping my pocket while glancing around the room. I tried quietly opening it, but a couple chips fell on the floor, I looked up to see my teacher death staring me.
“Niall put the food away, wait till recess” I put the chips back in my pocket, now I have to wait till recess, this is so boring.
*ding ding d-ding ding ding d-ding*
There’s the bell for first period, I have maths first up. I walked out of the classroom swinging my bag onto my back, N11 is my maths room, that’s on the other side of the school, great. I walked through a big bunch of students going the opposite direction and walked into my maths class, 2 of the lads are in the class, at the back of the room is the girl who I accidently hit with the ball, she’s sitting by herself, not for long. I put my books on the table next to her, she looked up at me with big blue eyes, they twinkled as I sat down.
“Hi, love, you didn’t get hurt on the way here did you” I chuckled to myself, and she just smiled at me and did a little giggle.
“No, I got here safely” she smiled chuckling lightly.
“That’s good, are you new here?” I asked, trying to make conversation.
“Yeah, I moved here a month ago” she replied, opening her book, I did the same.
“Are you Australian?” I noticed her accent, I love Australian accents.
“Yeah, how did you know?” she asked knitting her eye brows together.
“Your accent” I replied, she looked up at the teacher and quickly began writing in her book.
“Niall do your work” the teacher said to me, I got my pen out and began writing down what was on the board.
It was break and I was walking with lads to go eat, I saw the girl around the corner sitting on the ground by herself. I stopped in my tracks, the lads kept walking, but I stood there looking at the girl, she was sitting on the grass writing in a book, but not a text book. I walked over and sat myself beside her. She looked over to me and stopped writing.
“You don’t have to sit with me” she stated, looking over at my friends.
“I want to, I still don’t know your name, I’m Niall” I asked smiling and getting some food out of my bag.
“I’m Tayla” she replied sweetly while putting her book in her bag.
“Tay for short?” I asked raising one eyebrow
“Sure” she chuckled.
“Do you like Mullingar?” I asked while unzipping my back pack.
“I do so far, I haven’t met many people besides my neighbours” she replied while biting into her sandwich. It looks really good, I leaned in and tried to bite the end of the sandwich. She pulled away and began laughing and giving me a weird look.
“Oh c’mon, we can share” I said smirking.
“Nope, I don’t share my food, and this is my favourite sandwich” she said laughing and pushing me away.
“It could be mine as well” I laughed attempting again.
“No!” she said trying not to laugh, she moved herself a little away from me, I moved closer, I attempted again, she moved away. I sat there pouted, and crossed my arms.
“Fine, you can have a bite, only if I get a bite of that muffin” she said crossing her arms and puffing her chest out.
“It’s not a muffin, it’s a cup cake” I stated.
“Same thing” she huffed.
“No, but sure I get a bite first though” I said, she scooted closer, and I got my cup-cake out of my bag.
“Ok, 3…2…1” I leaned in to take a bite out of her sandwich, and she took a bite out my muffin. Mm it’s so good.
“Mm…who made this?” I asked.
“Me, who made this cup cake, it’s amazing” she asked.
“I bought it” I chuckled, 3 boys in the house, we don’t cook.
“Good buy” we both chuckled at her little joke.
*ding ding d-ding ding ding d-ding*
There’s the bell.
Tayla POV
I have the soccer game to go to in about 1 hour, it starts at 4:00 so I have to be quick, but first I have to send Brooke a text.
Me: Brooke! I had an amazing day, I met this super cute and hungry boy, his name is Niall, and I’m going to a soccer game this afternoon.
She would be asleep now though, I quickly rushed into my room and got changed, I walked out of me room, mum was waiting at the door holding Felicity.
“Come on, let’s get going” we headed out the door to the soccer game.
*4 days later*
Niall took me to a park after school, he says he goes here all the time just to get away from things and eat food. I am currently texting Brooke.
Brooke: Hey how’s Mullingar? X
Me: It’s so amazing, Niall and I hang out every lunch time, he’s here next to me right now haha x
Brooke: Tell him I said hi! I will be right back, I have to go to dinner x
Me: Ok x
“Brooke said hi” I said turning to Niall who was scoffing down chips.
“Who’s brooke?” I can barely understand him because of all the chips in his mouth.
“She’s my best friend in Australia, I already told you about her didn’t I?” I’m pretty sure I did.
“Oh yeah, she’s the one who you dacked in primary” he said chuckling.
“Yeah that one” I laughed remembering the memory. Niall finished his chips, put the rapper in his bag and stood up to his feet. He held his hand out, I put my phone in my bag and held his hand. He helped me up and we began walking hand in hand, I don’t know where he is going but I’ll just follow along. We stopped in front of a big tree, lots of branches going everywhere, Niall began climbing the tree, he stopped at a branch and looked down at me.
“Come on” he yelled atme from half way up the tree. I set my foot on a branch and reached up to grab another branch. I continued climbing my way up the tree, I looked upto see Niall sitting on a big branch, I reached the same branch and carefully moved closer to him.
“You still haven’t told me what you like to do” I said looking at him, he looked back at me and swung one leg around the other side of the branch to look at me.
“Haven’t I?” he said looking me straight in the eye.
“Nope, what do you like to do Niall?” I asked him.
“Singing, football, guitar” Niall plays the guitar…and sings.
“I play guitar as well, I sing a little bit” I stated, I can’t believe Niall plays guitar, he doesn’t look like the musical type.
“Really? I’m trying for the x factor this year” he must be really good.
“Can I hear you sing?” I asked.
“Sure what type of song?” he asked.
“Do you sing pop?” I basically only listen to pop.
“Yeah, I’ll sing the song I’m auditioning with” he said, he cleared his throat and sat there getting ready to sing.
““Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
'Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
'Cuz you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore ” I just melted, his voice is amazing, I would have had no idea he’s so good, I don’t know what to say, what do I say. I just sat there with an amazed looked on my face.
“Did you like it?” he asked snapping me out of my trance.
“Your amazing, you are going to win the x factor, you loose your accent when you sing” I said finally getting words to come out. He just chuckled.
“I don’t know if I will win, there are a lot of good singers out there” he’s right, but he’s got a gorgeous voice.
“Your voice is gorgeous Niall” I said giving him a hug, he kindly excepted, I’ve never noticed how good he smelt, he leaned away and began day dreaming, he was completely out of it. It was starting to get darker.
“Niall I think we should go” I said beginning climbing down, I looked up and Niall was staring off into space.
“Niall!” I yelled, he quickly turned his head to me, I felt a rain drop on my face, great…it’s about to rain, and I haven’t arranged a lift home, Niall began following me down the tree to get our bags.
“My grandma lives not far from here, we will run to her house and get picked up from there” Niall nodded and followed me out of the park. The rain got heavier and we were both running as fast as we could, the rain drops were like little icicles on my face. I looked beside me to see Niall with a massive smile on his face, he looks like an idiot, he’s so cute, I looked back to concentrate on where I was going. I just kept on running.
