Chapter Two: Oh yeah, One Direction...
A/N: Hi cheeseheads
The Way I Love You
~Chapter Two~
One Direction? What an odd name to call something, you think to yourself. You stand there, with a confused look on your face. Niall stares back at you, expecting an answer which you couldn’t seem to give.
“I know that light travels in one direction.” you say, proud to show that you paid attention in physics class. “And in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’, there’s a part about something travelling in one direction.”
You can tell. He’s trying to hold back his laughter. Either you said something really dumb, or you said something really, really dumb. The corners of his lips curl into a smile, but eventually, he loses it. Laughter fills the shop, mixed with a strand of confusion.
“Are you sure you haven’t heard of One Direction? The band? The boy band?” He asks disbelievingly.
“Did you say Boy band?” You gasp.
“Yeah, that’s the one.”
“I like Westlife.” You blurt. It was probably not what he was expecting you to say, but he chuckles. Great, you think. He thinks you’re a psycho, but honestly, you had no idea what a ‘One Direction’ was.
“You’re crazy,” he says, “but in a good way.” That Irish accent was driving you to delirium.
“Well, are you going to tell me what a ‘One Direction’ is, or am I going to be left hanging?” You ask, trying to keep the conversation going, after all, it doesn’t hurt to make a new friend.
He grins. “Find out for yourself.” You pretend to be annoyed by his answer, but you simply couldn’t because he was so cheeky.
The big black bus outside beeps twice and a head pokes out of the window and yells
“Niall get your ass in here now!” Niall turns back to you sheepishly and takes out his phone.
“Can I have your number, so you know, we can, keep in touch?” He asks shyly. You hand him your iPhone and take his, poking your digits into the contact details.
“Ok, then. See ya’ around, Steph.” He beams, before walking out of the shop doors and into the bus.
“Bye, Niall.” you smile back. His name. You can say it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and never get bored doing so. Niall. The door shuts behind him and the bus goes off, leaving a trail of exhaust behind. Now when you think of it, what’s up with that big black bus?
•••
That night, you searched up ‘One Direction’ on Google. You watched their video diaries, interviews, performances and you even ordered their album online. You read their Wikipedia page and browsed through Tumblrs dedicated to them. Wow. It never made any sense to you why girls at your school fangirled over boy bands and such, but now you understood. Niall was part of the boy band that your best friend, Cara, was hysterical about. And ontop of meeting him today, you also have his number.
After sitting in your room for while, listening to their album ‘Up All Night’, you recognized the song which was playing on the radio at DoDo’s. It was ‘Moments’ and apparently, your idol Ed Sheeran wrote it and sang a line in it too. It took you some time to process the fact that Niall was singer, although he didn’t look much like one. But then again, what do singers look like?
A/N: OMFG I AM SO SORRY. This chapter sucks so much I am very sorry. We all hate short chapters. Next one will be better.
