Chapter 1 ~ Ask Out Jitters

Niall's POV

Last class of the day. I continuously bounced my knee up and down, waiting for the bell to ring. Everyone was chatting. It was pretty much a free period. For once, we had just watched a movie, conveniently called 'Valentines Day' and I couldn't wait to ask Hailey to the dance.

Hailey's seat is opposite of mine, but on the other side of the room. But whenever we get assigned to projects or anything, we always work with each other, and get along great. The dismissal bell finally rang.

Everyone including me, grabbed our backpacks and our other stuff. We all left the room, and headed to our lockers. A Friday, no homework, a dance tomorrow night, hell yea!

I smiled to myself, as I did my locker combination, and opened my locker. I put all my binders and folders inside, and took out the card, and box of chocolates. Everyday me and Hailey sit on the bus together, and walk home. Our bus stop is a few blocks away from our houses.

I slid my backpack on, and headed outside to the bus after closing my locker. I sat by the window, waiting for Hailey, and started tapping my foot. She came into the bus about a minute later.

Before she sat beside me in the two seater, I hid the card and chocolates at my right side. We talked a little, but about how our day was. I bit my lip and looked out th window. Watching the houses, trees, and cars pass by. Our bus was slowing down after a few minutes, and started slowing to a stop. 

Hailey and I stood, and got off the bus, walking down the street. I turned my head to face Hailey. "Um, I have something, a certain person wanted me to give you..." She looked at me. "What is it?" We stopped and faced eachother. She smiled, as I pulled the card and box of chocloates; Hershey, her favorite, from behind my back, and handed them to her. 

"These are sweet. Who are they from?" She asked, and I bit my lip. " He said he didn't want me telling, you." She opened the card, and read it slightly outloud, and I tried my best not to blush. She got to th end of th card. "P.S. He is standing in front of you..." Her voice trailed off, and she lifted her eyes from the cad to me, and out eyes met.

I blushed a bright redish-pink, and smiled shyly. "Niall, you're so sweet." She said before walking up to me and kissing my cheek. I blushed more, and she whispered in my ear. "Wanna hear a secret?" I nodded. "Sure." She whispered in my ear, "I have always liked you too..."
