Just maybe

It was awkward the rest of class. I would sneak glances and he would notice. I think he tried to steal a couple of glances but only for like 4 seconds. The rest of the day went by so slow. It turned out that I had every class with this Niall kid. When last period finally ended, and the bell rang, I walked to my locker. I grabbed my books, which was just my textbooks to take home. As I was walking, I got a text message. It was from Nikki. I was so relieved! It was saying how her day went and was wondering how my day went. I responded with a simple: it was fine. Just as I sent it, I passed willow. I guess I wasn't looking and I ran completely in front of her. She was holding an ice tea, and it spilt all over her! She went mad. She was yelling at me telling me to watch where I was going. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean too!" I tried to apologize several times but she just couldn't get over the fact that I spilt her drink all over her brand new outfit. She took her hand, and slapped all my books onto the floor. Blank papers were flying everywhere and I quickly tried to scramble them all together. I was on the floor picking them up. "Here. Let me give you a hand." Niall said in a crisp accent. "Thank you." I quickly responded. I tried not to make eye contact. He was wearing his ray banz inside though so I couldn't tell if he was looking at me or not. We were in awkward silence when he said, "sorry I was being rude this morning. I was having a bad morning. You must be jess. I'm your new neighbor. I saw you leave your house this morning. I ride behind you the whole way." "Oh, I thought you looked familiar! It's okay. We all have those mornings." "Yeah and just saying, you totally wore that outfit better than willow..." He said with a chuckle. It was a little weird, but he was cute in a funny way. Not my type of guy, but something about him ands me want to never stop talking to him. Before we knew it we were at our cars, parked right next to each other. He threw out a brilliant idea. "Hey..." He was rubbing his neck. " I was gonna go grab some food... If... You maybe... Wanna join me?" I stood there for a second thinking. I thought to myself, sure. It would be nice to have a friend. Maybe he's not as bad as people say. "Sure. Some food sounds nice. Would you mind if I rode in your car because I'm low on gas? And maybe just leave my car at school?" "Yeah, but that means your gonna be stuck with me taking you to school tomorrow morning, right?" He said winking. "No, because you can drop me off after." He looked at me straight in the eyes And swiftly said " I was hoping you would say we could ride together in the mornings, because you know... We won't be wasting gas...?" "Okay. Fine. We will do it your way." I said as I hopped into his really fancy Range Rover. I was happy that he asked me. This could be fun. In the car, he was playing some music. It was quiet, but I knew that song anywhere. It was viva la vida. Coldplay. I loved Coldplay, and I didn't even realize that I was humming the whole song. He had a grin on his face and I noticed. I started blushing really bad, and stopped. "No, keep going. I think it's cute." Wait, what! He thought I was cute? Am I hearing right? I was getting a little hesitant when he turned the music really loud, and was screaming the lyrics. Not in an annoying sort of sound, but it was actually good. Niall could really sing. "You know, your really good at the whole singing thing." "It's not really something I think about. I kinda just do it." He said inbetween lyrics. Before I new it, we were pulling up to a pizza place. Apparently it's where that side of town hangs out. I never even knew this side of town existed. "Here we are. The pizza shack. Have you been?" I shook my head and walked in. We sat in a little corner where no one could see us. We ordered some drinks, and I excused myself to the bathroom. "Sure. I'll be waiting." I went to the bathroom and checked myself out. I thought I looked cute. Niall's POV: My palms are sweating, and I have no idea why. This is my neighbor. Snap out of it Niall. I slapped myself a couple of times. I looked over when I heard the door open and it was them. My group. Of course. They spotted me and came over. Of course willow came and sat at the table with me and had everyone else sit septetly. "Who are you here with? Some girl on a date?" "No." I was trying to be short and choppy because I wanted her to leave before Jess came back. "Where is she at? Who is she? Come on spill Horan." Man. I hate when she calls me Horan. "She's in the bathroom." I said. I soon regretted that, because she got up and walked straight to the bathroom. Damn. Jess's POV: "Oh my gosh. This is who Niall is here with? Haha. I thought I actually had competition." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She wouldn't stop blabbing. She wouldn't let me say a word. "You do know that Niall and I use to date? We did it a couple of times." She wouldn't shut up. "You know he's only using you for your body and looks, then he will dump your sorry ass. Don't get hooked now." What was she saying? It couldn't be true. He was so sweet. She couldn't be talking about the Niall Horan that I was having lunch with. "He is just waiting for you to fall under his spell... Then... BOOM! You are crying yourself to sleep every night." "Your just a nobody, wanting to be a somebody." I couldn't handle it. She's going to far. My eyes were tearing up and I ran out of the bathroom and outside as quick as possible. I think Niall saw me and he ran into the girls bathroom. I don't know what he said, or what happened in there, but when he walked out, he placed $20 on the table and grabbed his jacket. I was outside crying on the ground. He saw me, and made me stand up. All I could say was "take me home, now." "okay." was all he said. and with that we got in the car and drove away.
