His Princess

13. More Than a Boring Day

The final period of the day came really slowly. Classes I had with Sparrow went by a lot faster, and it definitely helped that the guys all texted me throughout the day. Harry made it really hard to not get caught texting because he was so funny. I actually laughed once, but when everyone looked at me, I sank back into my chair and said it was just a funny story I remembered. They bought it, and I told Harry he was going to get me in trouble.

That didn’t help. He just got funnier, and Louis started doing the same thing.

Those boys . . . .

Liam was quite serious, and he was mostly just making sure I was okay. He messed around some, but it wasn’t anything too goofy. Zayn mostly just asked what I said that got Niall so upset, and I told him I just told him something about me. He didn’t question it any more than that, but he also didn’t talk to me much. I wasn’t entirely sure if Zayn liked me or not, but he didn’t seem to have a problem with me necessarily, especially considering he sang What Makes You Beautiful to me yesterday.

Anyways, Niall seemed alright. He didn’t seem too upset, but there was definitely something wrong. But it was nice because I got to know him a little better, and he got to know me some more.

By seventh period, I was ready to run outside and go pick up my sister, but I had current events to suffer through.

Oh no. Current events.

I didn’t want to go in there, and neither did Sparrow, but we had to face it eventually. When we did, we were swarmed all over again. It was almost as bad as lunch, but during lunch, we were able to run and hide in a janitor’s closet.

Well, at least in here, they had to sit down eventually.

Our current events teacher looked rather bored as he sat up front, and right after the bell rang, he began. “Can anyone tell me a current event from this weekend?”

“Emmit Aldaine met One Direction!” a small brown haired girl blurted out, her hazel eyes wide. “She was seen hanging out with them!”

“Niall Horan was falsely charged with assault!” another much bigger brunette said. “He was just defending himself and protecting a friend!” She gasped suddenly as she turned to face me, her chocolate brown eyes wide. “Was he protecting you?!”

At this point, I pulled my hood over my head and tried to disappear into my chair, but it wasn’t working. They could still see me.

“Okay, okay,” Mr. Hunters said, eyes shifting to the back of the room to me. “Miss Aldaine, is this true?”

“I did meet them, yes,” I muttered under my breath. “We spent a lot of time together this weekend.”

“He meant the part about Niall protecting you!” the small girl practically screamed at me, eyes wide in anticipation.

Sparrow rolled her eyes. “Okay, really? So what if it was her? Freaking out on her like this is not gonna get you any closer to One Direction.”

I exhaled sharply. “Okay, if you guys will leave me alone, fine. Yes. It was me. Niall was my friend on a really sketchy date. The guy had a girlfriend. He lied. I was just his little toy. Niall helped me out, got his head busted open with thirteen stitches and the hot new haircut, and now he’s in love with Sparrow. There. Happy?!”

Sparrow snorted. “Okay, whatever. That’s such bs, and you know it. He’s barely even talked to me! Why? Because he was too busy talking to you!”

“You’re dating Niall Horan?!” the second girl gasped, the one who started this entire conversation.

“No!” I exclaimed, hopefully squashing the rumors right there. “He’s just my friend, just like the other four! I’m not dating him, and I’m not dating Harry. Just clarifying because that’s what the stupid magazines said. Let’s get real! Why would either of them date me when they could date anyone? Seriously?”

“I’m still surprised they wanted to be friends with you,” another girl, a tall red head with nuclear green eyes, snorted. “You’re nothing special.”

Hearing that hurt, though it was something I already knew, but it also didn’t calm me down. Actually, it made me even madder until Sparrow stood right up and walked over to the girl.

“That girl right there is the most amazing girl you’ll ever met in your entire life!” she yelled in her face, something that made the girl jump. “Don’t you dare say that to her! They saw that in her, and they thought she was special.”

“The only reason they even started to talk to her is because of you, Sparrow,” another girl said—a tall, statuesque blonde with rusty brown eyes. “Get real and face the facts.”

Sparrow was now burning with rage, but I knew this was what everyone thought. That’s what they always thought, and no one cared to find out differently. Sparrow was the only person who really knew me, until lately when One Direction has come to know me more and more.
Everyone else could care less, and honestly, if I was to die in a car crash, they wouldn’t care. At all.

I knew this, and I had accepted this reality. Sparrow, on the other hand, hadn’t.

“Okay, that is quite enough,” Mr. Hunters said, voice stern as he looked at the two who had said the truth about me with harsh looks. “This is not a gossip class. It is current events, and we will not trash talk our fellow classmates like that. Do you two understand me?”

They didn’t look happy about it, but they nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”

“Good,” he said, and then, his gaze shifted to Sparrow. “Please take a seat, Miss Marcellus.”

Sparrow was ready to beat their faces in, but she was smart enough to know better, so she did what she was told. From there, class went on as usual.

After things went back to normal, things also went back to going by slower than turtle speed. I literally thought I was gonna die in there, but finally, when the bell released me, I said a quick goodbye to Sparrow and painfully ran to my Jeep.

Mika was waiting for me beside the Jeep, so I didn’t have to hunt and search for her. I was so thankful that I actually hugged her.

When we both got in, I realized why she was so eager to get to me.

“You hung out with One Direction yesterday!” she squealed so loudly that I winced. “After Niall cleared up his assault charges, he hung out with—” She suddenly gasped, her eyes wide. “Were you the friend he was protecting?!”

“Okay, Mika, breathe,” I said. “I’ll tell you everything. We met them a few nights ago after Sparrow accidentally tazed Liam. We took them to Tim’s Diner, and we all crashed at Sparrow’s. Including the boys. We went and saw you the next morning, and then Liam left to head back to England. Zayn went to see Perrie. Harry, Niall, Louis, Sparrow, and I hung out, had a fashion show, sang karaoke, and then Niall went with me to meet a guy I met at an ice cream parlor, claiming he was in town with his little sister for the concert. It was supposedly his last night in town, but when we went to dinner, his girlfriend ran into us. I went to leave, but he wouldn’t let me. Started kissing and biting my neck. Well, Niall told him to back off. It surprised him, so I was able to kick him in the nuts. He told Niall to mind his business, Niall explained that it was his business, and then he recognized Niall. He asked for an autograph, and then when Niall said no, he went all crazy and threw Niall into the wall. He had to get thirteen stitches, I think he said, and Lou had to find a way to cut his hair around the spot she practically shaved off. Anyways, Niall decked him, and we had to run off because of fans. So then we had Harry and Louis do a night walk and distract the fans, and we snuck in. The doctor and Lou arrived, and then I left because it was getting late. Uncle Frank beat me because I left you at Maw’s and it was so late, and then when I got there the next morning for Niall and I to go on the tour of the city that he made me promise I would take him on, Liam was back, and it became an Emmit and One Direction trip.” I squealed softly. “Oh my tigers, Mika, they sang What Makes You Beautiful to me when we were getting food. I was crying, and it was just . . . ah! Then we toured the city, and then I had to give my statement to the police. We made the guy drop the charges on Niall and publically apologize to us both or I would bring up charges for sexual assault. He had no chance of winning, and I had a very high chance. Well then Liam had to go, and they all left—except Harry and Niall, but Harry went to a different place to stay. Niall and I talked, and he learned about . . . well . . . what really happened to my face.”

Mika gasped as she now noticed. “He . . . I am so sorry, Em! That’s terrible timing! What did Niall do?!”

“He cried,” I admitted, and a small smile spread across my lips. “He cried, and then I cried. We cried together, and it just . . . it was such an amazing moment. It was heartbreaking to see, but it kinda helped me realize that I have a serious hardcore crush on that sexy Irish boy. It’s a real crush too, not one of those silly celebrity crushes.”

She giggled. “Not like mine on all five of them, right?”

I couldn’t help but laugh as well. “Yeah. Right. It’s . . . real, and it sucks because he likes Sparrow. Anyways, I need to hurry and get you home because I’m meeting him as close to three thirty as possible, and he’s telling me something important. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve gotta hurry. Maw already said it was fine.” I showed her my inbox, and she started squealing all over again. It made me laugh at how excited it made her, but I was glad she was so happy again. “I’ve been texting all five of them today. Zayn didn’t text me much, but I’m not sure if he likes me much either. I don’t know. He didn’t mind singing What Makes You Beautiful to me.”

“Did they all sing their parts?”

I nodded. “Except Niall sang the last line of the second chorus by himself.”

She sighed contentedly as she leaned back against her chair. “So it looks like things are looking up for you today, too.”

My lips pressed together. “Maybe.”

When we pulled into the driveway, I barely had time to put the Jeep in park before she jumped out and dashed inside as fast as she could. It was a funny sight to see, but I didn’t stay to laugh about it long. It was already three fifteen, so I had to hurry.

Really, I was quite curious.

Notes

The lyrics are from Bite My Tongue by You Me At Six feat. Oli Sykes. I love that song. <3 It's actually the song Everit and Jesse battle with in The Voice.

But anyways . . . I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! It's a filler . . . and I'm sorry about that. The next chapter, you'll find out what's up with Niall.

You know, there's something I should've done a long time ago. Previously, I've mentioned that my little sister, who is also my number one fan, is the reason I even posted any of my stories. She loved them, and she encouraged me to put them up so others could enjoy them as well.

I'll always be grateful for that, my biggest supporter. When others told me I couldn't, she said, "Fuck them, yes you can." I'll always love her for that. :) She's the greatest, really, and it would mean the world to me if you guys could help me support her.

She's fairly new to writing. She started writing because she saw how much it changed my life, and she's pretty damn good. She's already at the level I was after three years of writing, and she hasn't been writing that long. One day, when she's writing best sellers and they're making movies based on her books, I'll be able to return the favor and be HER number one fan.

But, it would mean the world to me if you guys could check out her stories. She's still fairly new to writing, but she has some very interesting ideas. One of her stories, she got the idea after reading the Voice. So if you like that, you'll love Deadly Secrets. The other is just a fresh, new idea. Whichever you'd like to read, or both if you'd like, it'd be awesome if you could at least give her a shot. :)

You can go to her profile here. :) She's a Niall girl, so you know she's got good tastes. ;) I'd really appreciate it if you could check her stories out. At least give her some tips? That'd be awesome.

So . . . I'll try and post more later. I'll be out of town for the rest of the day, but I hope you enjoy this chapter. :) Thanks for reading, and if you check out my sister's stuff, THANK YOU!!! :D

You guys are the best. :3
