Loving You From The Start: A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter 7: Why does he want to talk about Niall?

Claire’s POV

I go to school the next day, after recording the start of my album. People were still talking rumours behind my back. I head to homeroom alone and sit next to Sabrina. Jasmine then comes in looking upset. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her nose was wet. Sabrina and I stifle our giggles and stare after her. Mark wasn’t even looking at her. Had they broken up already?

Sabrina and I were talking about the songs I should do, and I was asking her if I go on tour; if Alana (who could play keyboard/piano), Cecelia (who plays drums) and Sabrina could come and do the music with me, when Mark came up to our table.

“Hey Claire.” He says as he sits in front of me. I look away from Sabrina and give him a strange look.

“I don’t think I can help you Mark; whatever it is you want.” I say sarcastically as the bell rang and walked out of the classroom. I got to my locker and opened it when Mark closed it again.

“Can you please listen to me?” he whispers angrily.

“Why should I? You cheated on me Mark; and now there’s rumours going about saying I fucked 5 guys at Jasmine’s party after seeing you cheat with Jasmine; when in fact; I ran all the way to Bartholomew Square and cried in the rain!” I raise my voice. People were looking at both of us; but I didn’t care. I glare at him I quickly grab my textbooks and head to English; where we were analysing Othello. But Mark kept up with me.

“I thought I saw you having a make-out session with Kyle! It was all a big misunderstanding Claire!” I ignore him and sit quickly down behind a desk; which the one next to me was unoccupied; so Mark sat there.

“I don’t want you to sit next to me Mark. I don’t even want to talk to you. You’re not getting me back. Why would I want to be with someone who doesn’t trust me and who cheated on me?” I say before the teacher starts to talk about the analysis of the characters. I wrote the notes that were on the board intensely; Mark still trying to communicate with me by whispering; notes; but no texts as I got a new phone number. But I got a text from someone else.

You wanna skip school and hang out??? Louis. I sighed and texted him back.

No. Don’t want to; need to talk to people. Maybe after school?

Okay! We’ll pick you up!

Uh-oh. I did not want to get mobbed; no-one but my mum; Alana; Cece and Sabby knew about my record deal!

NOOO!!! DON’T COME PLEASE?!?!? I’ll meet you somewhere!

Fine. Meet me at my place! Need to talk to you about the leprechaun.
