"Clarity," Clarity heard when she was about to sit down in a bus seat. She turned, looking for the source of the voice.

She saw Niall, in the back, waving to her. She excused herself from the girl she was about to sit next to, who was awfully pretty, and went to Niall's seat.

"Hey," she said and sat down. He smiled at her, and she saw that his two front teeth were slightly crossed over and sticking out. She had had pearly white and strait teeth all her life.

"Hey. Stay away from that girl, okay? That's Gemma, she's one of the main P.O.Ps around here."

"P.O.Ps," Clarity asked confusedly. Niall sighed.

"Popular, Occasionally Nice, and Pretty." Clarity saw Niall's blue eyes turn a different shade of grey. She knew when he meant 'Occasionally Nice' he meant almost never. Ever.

"Oh, that's Gemma. Yeah, Jessy told me about her," she stated. She didn't know why she didn't try to change the subject, but she didn't.

"Oh!" She yelled quietly. "Hand over your phone."

He did as told. Clarity gave him hers and put her number IMO his phone. When she got back her own phone, she saw he did the same

" 'Nialler?' " she questioned him, raising an eyebrow. He laughed and shook his head, but he could tell it wasn't sincere.

"Um.... Some old friends came up with it," he said gloomily. Clarity couldn't believe his constant mood swings. It's almost as if he were on a period ...(a/n: I'm sorry.... I had to say that!)

"Oh, okay," Clarity said. The bus stopped, and Clarity moved when Niall told her it was his stop.

---

Clarity couldn't stop thinking about who Niall's 'old friends' were. Did they not like him anymore? Did they move? Where are they? Who are they? Why Nialler? Why not 'Fried Chicken Boy' or something? Down thing that made sense at least.

Her phone beeped.

"....And she's in the class A Team, stuck in her, daydream...."

Clarity loved that song. Ed Sheeran was... Wow?

Hey luv, wanted 2 c if u were still up

Clarity didn't notice how dark and late it had grown. She checked her clock, and it read 23:00.

Clarity tried to covert that into American language hours, and she estimated it was 11:00 if it didn't have all twenty four hours on a clock.

Why did they do that? To make things even harder for her? Did even Ireland hate her?

Clarity didn't respond to Niall, because her eyes were already drooping...
