"Char, can we please talk after school?" Niall asked,he was looking at the floor not wanting to look meet my eyes.
"Oh okay." I replied softly.
"I'll meet you at the front gate" it came out more like a question but before I could answered, he turned and walk down the hall.
I just shrugged it off and headed to class. I wasn't having the same class with Layla only until after recess.
**
Layla and I sat at our usual table during recess after we got our food. Should I tell her? I mean I should tell her right? She's my best friend. I have to tell her..
"Char? Are you okay?"
"I need to tell you something."
"Well, I'm waiting. Any second now would be fine." she added after staring at me for awhile waiting for me to speak up.
"Niall asked me out this morning."
"That's all?" she questioned, a puzzled look on her face.
"He was giving me the cold shoulders this morning, he said that he wanted to talk after school."
"What. Is he calling off the prom date thing?!" She asked worriedly. I look over to the table Niall was at, the senior students table. He was already staring at me when I turned over. I hurriedly looked away before it gets creepy.
"I don't know.." maybe what Layla said was true, maybe he wanted to call it off, maybe he doesn't want to be seen not dating senior.
"Or maybe he just wanted to you know... talk." she tried changing the topic when she saw me looking down at my food, knowing she said the wrong thing.
"Yeah. Maybe." I felt like someone was staring at me, I turned and look around the canteen until my eyes met with his. He was still staring at me, it felt like his stares were burning holes in me. This time he was the one who turned away quickly.
"Call me when you get home okay, tell me how it went."
**
Niall wasn't there yet when I got to the school gate after class ended for the day. He only arrived a few minutes after.
"Hey" I started the conversation.
"Hi" he replied, starting to walk without waiting towards the left direction, the way to Starbucks. The whole way to Starbucks was just filled with silence.
"One hot chocolate" Niall ordered.
"A frappuccino, please." I added when Niall didn't ordered for me.
"That would be fourteen dollars." the cashier informed. Niall handed her the cash before I could even reach for my purse. Remembering the words he said last time ' A gentleman always pays for the lady.' what's up with him today.
We left Starbucks and were walking to the same park as that day again. Still, no one talked, silence filled the space around us again.
"Okay I can't take this anymore! What's up with you and you whole damn attitude today!" I stopped dead in my tracks, yelling, he was walking infront of me before so he turned around.
"Let me guess, you wanna tell me that you're not going to prom with me anymore because you found someone better? Or you do not want to be seen going to prom with a junior?" I added when no words came out of his mouth. He still did not reply.
"Whatever" I turned around and started walking away in the opposite direction. I felt a grip on my wrist and I was spun around.
"No, I did not find anyone better. There's no one better in this world compared to you. I don't care what other people think. Im going with you." he replied sternly, looking straight into my eyes with a serious expression. This time round, it was my turn, no words came out of my mouth.
"Why did u flinch when you saw me yesterday. What's up with you?!"
"Don't you think things have gotten awkward between us?" I answered back with courage, gesturing at the space between us.
"What do you mean awkward, there's nothing to be awkward about. Did I do anything wrong?" he yelled, stepping a step closer.
"You never called me or even text me since the day in the park! When I walk by you in the hallway you never even say hi or even SMILE BACK WHEN I FREAKING SMILE AT YOU. WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT WRONG HUH!" I yelled back at him at the top of my lungs, stepping a step closer.
"I WAS NERVOUS OKAY." He yelled again, stepping a step closer.
"YOU ARE THAT NERVOUS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN RETURN A SMILE?" I yelled, stepping a step closer once more.
"YES! IM THAT NERVOUS OKAY! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT IM A CHICKEN!" he said taking the last step between us. I felt his body heat on me when he took his last step. His chest was millimeters away from mine and I felt it every time his chest rises up after our little fight.
"I'm sorry, babe" he mumbled softly into my hair as he hugged me. I just stood straight not responding to his hug. He called me 'babe'. He called me 'babe'. Did he just? Yes he did Char, yea he did.
"I missed you" The words slipped out if my mouth. Did I like Niall, do I really like Niall? I think I'm falling.
"I missed you too" he replied still not letting go from the hug.
"Niall."
"Yeah?"
"Why did you ask me to prom so early?" I finally hugged back, resting my head at the crook of his neck.
"I was scared that if I asked you later, you would be taken. And I would just be depressed if you were taken."
"No one wants me." I said, remembering the proms every year, sitting alone at home when everyone was out having fun at prom.
"Don't say that babe. Who wouldn't want you? You're such a beauty and you're kind and caring and lovely an- you get the point. Well it's their lost." he rocked me a little as we were still hugging. He did it again! He called me babe!
"Charlie, I really like you."
"I like you too, Niall." We just slightly rocked left and right again and again in the same spot.
"Niall?"
"Yes babe?"
"Are we, you know... a 'thing' now?" I questioned.
"I guess so, if you want to."
"I'd love too" I smiled. The sky was starting to get dark and I had to return home.
"Niall, I got to go, it's getting dark." I said, letting go of the hug.
"Oh okay, I'll walk you home."
"Nah, it's okay. I can walk home myself, no biggie."
"It's getting dark, I'm walking you home. Let's go" he started walking before I could protest, and there is no point protesting with Niall when e has made up his mind. There's no use.
We were walking towards my house in silence again but this time we both enjoyed the silence. The wind was starting to get strong and my crop top did not have sleeves so I was starting to get cold. I was rubbing my arm and shivering. Damn me for not wearing something better.
Niall's POV
We were walking towards her house when it started getting dark and she decided to return home. She was shivering when I looked over to her. Omg why am I so stupid. It's so windy and chilly outside and I didn't realized. She must be freezing right now, and who knows if I didn't realized, it would be a piece of ice taking her place in 10 minutes.
I quickly took off my jacket and wrapped it around her. She looked up to me and gave me a thank you look. I snaked my arm around her waist to keep her warmer, she jumped when I first touch her but then she got okay with it.
Before you know it, we were already at the corner of the street to turn to her house. I let go of my hand from her waist as we walked down the street. We walked up to her porch as she search around in her bag before getting her house key and fumbling with the lock to open the door.
"Do you want to come in?" she asked shyly, guess she don't invite boys in often.
"Nah, it's okay babe. I need to get going. I just want to make sure you get inside safe."
"Oh here, your jacket." she remembered about the jacket and started to take it off.
"You can keep it babe" I gave her a cheeky smile.
"You're not gonna walk home like that, you'll get the cold, take the jacket please Niall." Aww, she cared.
"Okay then. I'll see you soon. Bye baby." I turned around to leave but she grab my wrist and walked up to me and gave me a peck on the cheek.
"Bye, text me when you get home safe." she smiled as her cheeks started to blush a little.
"Okay."
Charlotte's POV
I closed the door after he left. I slides down the door after I closed it. We are a 'thing' now. Niall likes me. I kisses him on the cheek. Im falling for Niall.
I ran upstairs and took out my phone from my bag and dialed Layla.
"Hello?"
"Haiiiiiii!!!!"
"What happened??!!"
"Make it short, we fought, he told me he like me, I like him, we're a thing now, he took me home, he lend me his jacket, I kissed him on the cheek. I haven had my dinner and it's so late. I'm sorry but I GOT TO GO" I said in one breath.
"Wow okay. Lol. Cyaa!!" she replied and I hung up. I lay down in bed, absorbing and accepting all that have happened today. I can't even remember the last time I had a boyfriend. It was in the 9th grade if I'm not mistake . I just wasn't that popular in school. Niall was the only senior that sees you for you. He doesn't care if you're a freshman, a sophomore or a junior, he's not like the other snobby seniors. He doesn't go around school having new girlfriends every week. If he likes you, he really likes you for you. And he likes...me.
Always when we fight
I try to make you laugh
Until everything's forgotten
I know you hate that
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Always when we fight
I kiss you once or twice
And everything's forgotten
I know you hate that
