CHAPTER ONE.

--

Today was the first day back at school after the fall break, and i was already bored till the bone. After trying my hardest to listen to the boring story our teacher was telling, something about a war, i zoned out, and my eyes were aimlessly wandering over the classroom, until i was looking at my best friend, Julia. 

Julia and i have been best friends since forever. We live only a few blocks away from each other, and we have each other’s Phone number on speed dial. Usually, Julia and i sit next to each other, but the teacher in this subject got fed up with our constant talking, so she separated us, by putting each of us on the opposite of the classroom. So boring..

Julia had caught me looking at her, and was currently waving at me. Even though sign language wasn’t my favorite, i instantly knew what she meant when i saw her Phone in her hand. I grinned at her and silently, without making anyone (especially the teacher) notice, i slid down in my seat, and took my blackberry out of my pocket.

with my hands under the table, i tried to look at the message she sent me without making it look too suspicious.  ‘Hey, that game it today right, guess the celeb?’ 

I just arched my eyebrow at her grinning face and began typing back. My fingers rattled on the small keyboard that belonged to my blackberry. It was a miracle the teacher still hadn’t heard anything, because, other than my rattling noises, the class was dead silent. Apparently this story about some kind of war was interesting..

‘Yeah, but only the lower classes are allowed to participate, so there’s nothing in it for us.. x ‘

is what I typed back while I looked at her. It didn’t take long for the red light on my telephone to start flashing again, signalling me that I had another message.

‘idec. Who do you think it is?’

before I even had time to react, the bell ringed through the classroom, making everyone all of a sudden bustle with energy. I quickly grabbed my bag, throwing it over one shoulder while I combed my fingers through my thick, long brown hair, before I walked out of the classroom, already searching for the key to my locker. Another boring schoolday had ended. Because we were seniors, and the exams were coming up, we only had about 2 hours of school everyday.

Together with Julia, i walked out of the school, laughing about some of the things the teachers had said, the outfits some of the students were wearing, and about how everyone had spent there fall-breaks. In the mids of the story about how some girl had puked all over her boyfriend, our attention was grabbed by the voice of a teacher, which was coming out of one of the classrooms on the ground level.

‘Okay, like I explained, I will only give a few tips, and you guys have to guess who this is.’

Julia and I exchanged a glance, and then silently stepped on the forbidden-to-walk-on grass, skipping over to the bottom of the class window, where we stood on our tippy-toes to watch what was going on inside. It was a miracle the class hadn’t spotted us yet, but apparently, today was my lucky day.

Finally.

The class was buzzing with excitement, while they were all sat on the edge of their seats, watching the front of the class intently. There, in front of the teacher’s desk, stood a boy, unrecognizable, with a paper bag over his head while he was dressed in a baggy beige jeans with supra’s. his torso was hugged by a simple, purple jack wills hoodie, his hands in the pockets of the jeans. Even though it was impossible to recognize him, a shock went through my body while I looked at him.

‘okay class, here we go. This guy is well known for his singing.’ The teacher shut his mouth while he looked across the classroom, hoping for anyone to give him the answer already. Well, boys that could sing. That narrowed it down to about.. 439867875 possibilities! ‘he dies his hair frequently, but the actual color is brown.’

the classroom erupted in quiet conversations, everyone talking to their neighbours about who they thought it could be. I sighed while I tore my eyes away from the stupid firs-year students and looked back at the guy in the disguise. It was just unfair that the lower grades got this opportunity, and not the last-year students.

‘I am going to make this really easy..’ the teacher said, tearing me out of my thoughts. My eyes scanned the boy again. ‘His second name is James.’ I let the breath, that I didn’t even know I was holding, escape my lips while I shook my head.

This wasn’t possible. Niall James Horan? The famous singer, who bleached his hair? How could they even get him to come to our boring, unknown city, let alone to the most boring school in the universe? Eventhough my thoughts were saying it wasn’t possible, something told me it was.

apparently the class still didn’t have any idea. They were still arguing quietly. I shook my head, my eyes locking with Julia’s. she started to say something, but I cut her off by hoisting myself up the edge of the window.

‘Niall Horan.’ I spoke quietly, my eyes fixated on the unrecognizable boy.

I felt the whole class focus on me, the teacher stepping towards me with an angry expression on his face. The blood immediately rushed to my face, turning me crimson red in an instant. Why did I do this?  Where on earth did I even find the nerves to do something like this? I am far too shy for this!

As I prepared my self to apologize, the guy in front of the desk tore the paper bag of his head, an action which was probably set to be done when he heard his name. and yes.. it was him.. his blue eyes darted over the classroom, looking for the lucky one that had called him out. His bleached blonde hair was ruffled by the bag but still looked perfect, while his big smile made the room light up, the braces on his teeth shining in the light. I was still sat on the window ledge, my eyes feeling like they would pop out of their sockets any second now.

his eyes found mine, and he flashed me his perfect smile, making me feel weak in the knees. It was good I was already sitting down, because after that I would have probably fallen down anyways.. all of a sudden, the moment was broken because the teacher stepped forward and looked at me like he would kill me there and then. ‘Get out of my classroom!’ he exclaimed angrily through gritted teeth. Without thinking, I jumped down from the window ledge, running off while pulling Julia along with me.

‘Wait!’ I heard behind me, and my body automatically stopped, making Julia bump into me. She scratched her head while I turned around. Niall was standing at the window ledge, his eyes on me, the sparkle in those blue pools unmissable. He turned around to the class, waved at them while flashing his perfect smile again, and then, laughing,

 he jumped out of the window, running towards us while the teacher was screaming at him to get back. He grabbed my arm and ran off, making me grab Julia again, pulling her with us while she screamed profanities at me for almost tearing her arm of her body.
