Chapter Twenty-Two: Picture Perfect

Skylar's POV

As I walk through the door of the English classroom, I can feel Niall's eyes follow me all the way to my seat. His gaze is burning holes through my head, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm just too nervous to look up at him. After our.. moment we shared last night, I know that our relationship is sort of different now. It's stronger, way more intense. 

And throughout the day, in the back of my head I've been worried that it might damage our relationship. We've been moving fast the whole time, but is it too much for him to handle? For me to handle?

After all, the last relationship I had didn't end very well. Am I ready to be this serious so soon?

Thoughts are swarming my head as I rest on my desk until the bell rings. I hesitantly bring my head up from the wood and meet Niall's eyes. He has a wide grin on his face as he calls for attendance, hardly ever breaking eye contact.

Damn, that boy.

I feel a smile grace my lips as I watch him in amusement. He is in a good mood today, and I think everyone can see that.

"Alright guys, I want you to read the first two chapters of this new book and then write a paragraph on what you think it's about and/or what's going to happen. It's due at the end of the period, if you finish early, you can talk quietly." Mr Horan passes the thick books back, I inwardly groan when I see the title of the novel; To Kill A Mockingbird. We had to read the book two years ago, but I'm sure he doesn't know that. 

After I recieve my own copy, I go right ahead and begin reading page after page.

When I was finally released from school, after staying back a few minutes to give Niall a little kiss and talk to him as we walked out together, I wrapped myself up in my duvet and curled into a ball on my bed. 

Not even two minutes after I had gotten comfortable, my phone buzzed from the bedside table. I groaned loudly before wiggling around enough so that I could grasp it, nearly falling off the bed in the process. 

From: Unknown
Hey, Skylar?

To: Unknown
Yes... Who's this?

From: Unknown
It's Louis.. I stole your number from Niall's phone. Don't say anything to him about it though... Okay so back to the point. Niall's birthday is this weekend, so Zayn and I were going to throw him a little party, a few of his friends and I were thinking you and your friend could come as well. It'll be small, but I thought it would be nice to surprise him.

To: Louis
Yeah, that sounds great!

From: Louis
Alright, I'll see you Friday night @ 7:30? It won't start until after 8, but we could use some help setting it up and getting him out of the house and then back again for the party. 

To: Louis
Alright, thanks! See you then.

A little surprised and a lot excited, I sent Desiree a text, asking her if she'd like to come. Of course, never being one to deny a party, she quickly agreed. I couldn't wait until the party. It would be nice to relax and have some fun for once and not have to worry about getting caught.
