Rewinding Time (Narry)

Chapter Three

SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN WEEKS. Honestly, I wasn't planning on updating any time soon because I have really high hopes for this fanfic and I really don't want to mess it up so I'm taking my time with planning it out. Thank you for reading and supporting me regardless!

❝NIALL❞

Liam gave me a warm smile as he slid into the seat on the other side of Eleanor. He swiftly gave her a peck on the cheek, causing her to blush. I released a sigh of relief upon the realization that Liam and Eleanor were still together. Louis glanced at the couple with jealousy but his face lit up every time Eleanor turned her attention towards him. I couldn't help but smile at how adorable Louis was.

I pulled out my brown lunch bag and began emptying out its contents: two turkey sandwiches, an apple, and two bags of crisps.

"Someone's hungry," Liam chuckled, eyeing my lunch. You don't even know, lover boy.

"I'm always hungry," I shrugged, stuffing my mouth with one of the turkey sandwiches.

"You kind of get used to it after a while," Louis chirped in. "Niall's practically married to food."

❝LIAM❞

Is it even humanly possible for such a small body to hold that much food? I watched as the blonde chap devoured his lunch. You'd think that everybody cared about their appearance, but from the looks of it, the same couldn't be said for Niall.

"Niall, you're disgusting me," Louis said, reaching across the table to wipe tomato juice off of his chin.

Niall let out a tiny whine and pulled his face away from Louis, sticking his tongue out. Louis made a gagging noise when he caught a glimpse of the food on Niall's tongue.

Niall's lip pressed together into a pout in response to Louis' disgusted reaction. Getting up from his seat across from Louis, he marched to the other side of the table and sat down beside me.

God he was so amusing. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him.

The entire time was trying so hard not to make eye contact with Louis; it was actually quite cute. The tomato juice from his sandwich was threatening to slip down his chin again and I couldn't help but chuckle. Embarrassed by my sudden interest, Niall quickly wiped his chin with the back of his hand and lowered his head to hide his face. The tips of his ears began to turn pink in shame.

I ruffled his hair, reassuring him that I wasn't trying to make fun of him. Niall kept his head down for a few seconds before slowly lifting it back up, tilting it towards me. His bright cerulean eyes caught mine as he gazed at me questioningly, causing my stomach to churn. I h never seen such beautiful eyes before.

He blinked rapidly, breaking our gaze.

I felt all strange on the inside and quickly turned towards Eleanor in a pathetic attempt to compose myself. She tilted her head towards me in confusion.

"You alright, babe?" she whispered, rubbing circles into my hand with her thumb.

"Y-yeah..."

I let out a sigh and buried my face into the crook of her neck. She giggled and began ruffling my hair. I smiled, inhaling the sweet scent of her perfume. As I propped my chin onto her shoulder, I noticed that Louis was staring–rather, glaring–at us. His eyes quickly flicked away when we made eye contact.

Hmm. Somebody's got a not-so-obvious crush on Eleanor.

"Let's head to Math now, shall we?" Louis blurted, quickly getting up from the table.
