The new start
Chapter forty-two, "I am not like the rest of the girls"
"Amy, you need to wake up. Your class starts in twenty minutes." Summer shouted. I opened my eyes and felt how the tireness streamed over me. It felt like I had been hit by a truck twenty times and that my heart had been crushed over and over again. Then I remembered why, I remembered everything. I remembered how awful they had reacted and how Summer had been there. She had let me cry over her shoulder. I don´t need them now that I have Summer.
"Shit," I whispered when I realized what she had said, twenty minutes? I pulled my hand through my greasy hair. I really needed a shower. Summer laughed.
"You don´t have time for that, take some dry shampoo and get dressed." She said while she tried to put on a pair of way to tight jeans. As usual Summer didn´t follow the rule to wear school uniform. I looked around to see if Chloe was here, but her bed was intact. She must have slept at Liam´s or something. While I put on some deodorant I thought of how I am going to act when I meet them. Should I try to talk to them and try to make them forgive me or should I just ignore them? The second option sounds so much easier, and maybe it will work on the angels. But I miss Chloe and it had only been one night since the fight. When I had the uniform on I had five minutes to do my makeup and hair. I made it as fast as I could, and it actually made a big difference, the greasy hair didn´t look so greasy anymore. When I got up I had looked like a old cow or something and now I looked more like a donkey which is much better according to me. I grabbed my bag and before I left I kissed Summer on the cheek. It was one minute until the math started and I knew that everyone would stare at me when I walked in, late. So I hurried as much as I could. Unfortunately the math classroom was far away from our room so when I got there it was five minutes late. I knocked carefully on the door and a small women with huge eyes opened the door. You could think that she was nice until she opened her mouth.
“You are late.” She said and I tried to find a good excuse.
“I am so sorry, Ms.…” What was her name again? It was something like Roberts or Davis. No, I think it was Roberts.
“Ms. Roberts.” I said and Ms. Roberts didn´t even flinch.
“You have ten minutes detention at three pm, don´t be late, and my name is Mrs. James. Do you think I am too short to get married, or what?” She said and I felt how my cheeks got red.
“No of course not, Mrs. James.” I whispered, all the students looked at me with eyes that said “what an idiot.” This second day would maybe go worse than the first one and if that was the case I didn´t even want to think of how bad the third day would go.
“I hope so, I value my shortness. Take a seat, Amy.” I pressed out a smile and looked around for a seat. The only one that was available was beside Niall and I don´t think he will be happy if I sit down beside him.
“What are you waiting for? Take a sit beside Niall or skip the class.” Mrs. James said and I sank carefully down on the chair. I thought Niall would make a big deal out of it but he just ignored me, treated me like air. It was worse, much worse. I tried to listen to what Mrs. James said but it was impossible my thoughts took over and suddenly yesterday´s evening played up in my head. Every evil word they had said got stuck in my stomach and I felt like I needed to puke and the worst thing was that everything they had said was true. But still real friends aren´t suppose to tell the truth in the worst way like they had done. They are suppose to forgive and forget. Would I have forgiven? Just when the thought crossed my mind I felt everyone´s eyes on me again.
“Amy, do you hear me?” Mrs. James said and I blushed, how could I have missed that she was talking with me?
“Yeah,” I whispered and my cheeks changed to a brighter red. Why does my voice always sound just like I feel?
“So do you know the answer?” Mrs. James said and looked at me with impatient eyes. I was just going to shake my head when I saw that Niall wrote something on our table, “37.” I bit my tongue and wondered if it was correct. What could I lose? I thought and nodded.
“Thirty-seven” I said and smiled. Mrs. James looked at me with a surprised look and I knew that I had been right. But I didn´t feel grateful for so long because now I wondered why he had done it. Why had Niall helped me? The rest of the lesson went great, no more questions and I was actually happy. Maybe Niall was willing to forgive me. When the class was over I quickly ran to catch up with Niall. When I got up to him he still pretended that I wasn´t there. But I didn´t care, if he didn´t want anything to do with me why had he helped me?
“Niall, why did you help me? I thought you hated me.” I said and looked at him. He ignored my look but I could see that he almost smiled.
“First of all I don´t hate you, I feel nothing about you and second of all I didn´t help you I always write down the answers on the table.” He said, still ignoring my look.
“I don´t believe you.” I said and tried to get him to forgive me by thinking that he should. I didn´t want to become friends with him again, or of course I wanted to but that´s not the main reason I stayed to have this chat with him. Now that I have Summer I don´t need anybody else except for Chloe. Just the thought of not having her as my friend hurt. If Niall forgives me, it may be easier to get Chloe to forgive me. I don´t really care so much about having Niall as a friend or not.
“Well I don´t care if you don´t believe me, it´s the truth.” He said and just when I was about to stop talking to him and give up I got a brilliant idea.
“Niall what do you say about skipping the rest of this day and let me convince you to forgive me?" I asked and finally he looked at me. His blue eyes met mine and I could see that I had reached out to him.
“Well, I guess everyone deserves a second chance.” He said and I nodded. I already had a perfect plan of what we are going to do.
“Great. Let´s go.” I said and even if I didn´t want to I felt a little bit of excitement and I had to remind myself that I did this to get Chloe back as a friend and not Niall. We got out from the big school and the chilly air swept through me and made me cold. I pulled the sweater closer around me and started walking briskly towards the exit, but Niall stopped me.
“We can´t go out there in the middle of the day when it´s classes, it´s a very strict school. Come with me.” He said and I sighed. Why hadn´t I thought about that? Lucky me that Niall was here because if he hadn´t this had gone very bad. He brought me to the backyard where the fountain was. In the middle of the fence that surrounded the school was a hole.
“Ladies first” He said and made a gestures with his hands. I smile, a real smile actually and crawl through the hole, behind me Niall did the same thing. When we were on the other side I heard a angry voice behind me.
“Come back, shirk isn´t the answer, learning is!” A teacher I had never seen before shouted. It was a man with an abnormally long nose but beside that he was pretty hot with his brown hair and muscular body. Niall and I laughed and ran as fast as we could away from the school. When we had run for a while we stopped to catch our breath. Niall smiled and actually looked so cute that I had to remind myself again that I did this for Chloe and I also reminded myself of the awful things Niall had said to me.
“We will get in much trouble when we get back.” He said but he didn´t seem to care so much about it, Liam had gone out of his mind.
“We can worry about that later, let´s go to a café and I will tell you the plans for today. I am going to show you that I am not the same as all of the other girls.” I said and he nodded. We walked quietly together until we found a nice little café in the end of a long street with many nice stores, but haven´t seen what I wanted yet. We walked into the café and it reminded me of when Harry and I had taken a coffee before everything had happened, or not before everything, not before I murdered someone but before the fights and the broken hearts. Niall didn´t ask me what I wanted like Harry had done, he was standing and looking over all the food they had.
“Niall, I will grab a table. Order something for me. I will pay you later.” I said and smiled.
“No need, I am the guy and I will pay.” He said and gave me a look that said “don´t argue with me” and I laughed before I walked away to choose a table. There were many tables to choose between because the café was almost empty. Everyone must be at work or in school, I thought while I sat down at a table in the corner. I had always liked sitting in the corner, you don´t get so much attention if you do. In a minute Niall were back with two cups of tea, my favorite, and two sandwiched with chicken.
“Do you know where to find the best chicken?” He asked with a grin.
“No, tell me.” I said and looked at him. This guy really is weird.
“Nando´s” He said and put the cup of tea and the chicken sandwich in front of me.
“I have never been there.” I said like it was no big deal but Niall´s eyes grew one size bigger.
“You are kidding with me, right?” He asked and I laughed while I shook my head.
“Then we have to go there tonight.” He said and I smiled. This is already going well.
“Okay” I said and took a big bite on my sandwich. It tasted delicious. The taste of grilled chicken and bread spread in my mouth and I hadn´t noticed until now that I was so hungry. Even if I ate as fast as I could Niall was quicker which made me laugh. I laughed so much that I couldn´t stop and instead of looking at me weirdly Niall started laughing too. I laughed so much that my stomach hurt and I had really forgotten how nice it was to just laugh. To just feel how the laughter is bubbling inside of you and to just enjoy the moment. It was a long time since I had done that but Niall had that infection on me. When we finally had stopped laughing Niall asked:
“Why are we laughing?”
“You must really like food.” I said and smiled. Never in my life I had known someone that liked food as much as me and this guy, he was worse.
“Food and sleep are my favorite things.” He said and I couldn´t stop smiling, this guy is so different from all the other boys I have met. In a good way. But I have to pull myself together and think of why I am here, to make him like me and forgive me again so that he can help me with Chloe.
“Mine too” I said and took a zip from the hot tea. I looked up and noticed the way his eyes looked at me, no one had ever looked at me that way. A warm shiver went through my body but I ignored it. All I had in mind was that if he liked me as much as he seems to this will be easy.
"Shit," I whispered when I realized what she had said, twenty minutes? I pulled my hand through my greasy hair. I really needed a shower. Summer laughed.
"You don´t have time for that, take some dry shampoo and get dressed." She said while she tried to put on a pair of way to tight jeans. As usual Summer didn´t follow the rule to wear school uniform.
