You Make Me Strong

I made it through my next few classes without running into Niall or his group of friends. Thankfully.

As I was standing at my locker, getting ready to go to lunch, my mind started to wander back to those beautiful blue-green eyes. I could look into them for eternity. I wanted to run my hands through his dirty blonde hair as we kis- EMI! ENOUGH!

My sub conscious screamed at me. I shook my head and closed my locker door to be startled, once again, by Trinity.

"Goddammit! You have to stop doing that!" I stated sharply. She laughed it off and looped her arm through mine as we walked to the cafeteria.

"I'll tell you about the 'seating arrangments' in the cafeteria once we sit down." Her voice was hushed so nobody could hear her. "Unfortunately, the Fantastic Five sit at the table beside mine." She rolled her eyes when she said that. I smiled a little but quickly stopped so she didn't notice. We walked through the food line and grabbed our lunch. I wasn't really hungry but I had to get something without being questioned.

"So, tell me about the fantastic five or whoever they are." I whispered to her in the line making sure nobody was paying attention.

"Oh! We will have to talk about that another time." She exclaimed and nodded her head sharply to her right, motioning behind her. I looked behind her and saw, I believe it was Liam. He had a bright smile on his face and he talked to another guy beside him, I think it was Harry. I turned away before they saw me staring.

"Alrighty then." I said back grabbing my tray and following her to her table.

"Nice piercings, freak!" A loud voice yelled towards me. My head instantly went to the direction of the voice. It was Niall's table. I knew who said it and grinned. Once I sat my tray of food down, I walked over to their table. Niall looked up and his eyes grew wide. I looked straight at Zayn and smiled.

"Well thank you. I spent a lot of time deciding what piercings would look good on me. How much time did you spend on that outfit?" He looked down at his clothes and scowled at me. "Freak is such a harsh word. I would rather be called an eccentric woman, who would never be caught dead worrying about something a dickhead like you has said to her." I stood straight up and gave another smile. My eyes connected with Niall's and he bite his lip, trying not to laugh.

"You're just a stuck up bitch." Zayn spat at me. I laughed and shook my head.

"Oh, Mr. Malik. you know nothing about me." His eyes narrowed and I grinned at him not backing down. "I know I'm new here but I know your type."

"And what's 'my type'?" He questioned, using his fingers to put emphasis on his words. I pulled a chair out and sat down. By now, the whole cafeteria was quiet and watching us. A few gasps were heard as I sat down.

"First off, you're a jock. I can tell by your jacket. You think just because you are a jock, you're better than everybody else. You don't like it when people are different than you so you resort to bullying them to make yourself feel better." My voice was loud and confident. "You think you can get any girl you want but when a girl isn't, in the least bit interested in you, you're first reaction is to call her a bitch or a slut. Am I in the ballpark yet?" I looked directly into his eyes.

"I am better than everybody else." He smirked and winked at me. I scuffed at his remark.

"By that comment, I'm guessing you think that you have a giant dick too, right?" I glanced around the table and all the guys were silent. Niall and Liam were staring at me with their mouths hanging open. Zayn didn't know what to say. "Hit the nail right on the head. Your gigantic ego is shrinking. I bet you have a dick the size of a tic tac." The cafeteria blew up with laughter and I stood up. I started to turn around but stop. "By the way, I'm Emi." I smirked and sat down beside Trinity.

"Holy mother of fucking shit! I can't believe you just tore into Zayn like that!" She shrieked laughing and holding her stomach. "The tic tac dick joke was the icing on the cake!" I laughed along with her and glanced over at their table. Niall was staring at me but once he saw me look over, he quickly looked away.

"I know how to knock someone's ego down a few notches." The cafeteria went back to their own conversations, most of them probably talking about what just happened.

"So, there is a party tonight. We are going." Trinity stated. I looked at her, a little confused.

"It's a Wednesday and there is a party?" She nodded and grinned. "Where at?"

"Niall's house."

I about choked on my milk.
