"Mooooom!" I shouted, "Justin's bothering me again!"

"Justin! Leave your sister alone!" my mom yelled.

"I'm not doing anything!" my brother shouted back grinning at me wickedly.

"Whatever," I mumbled, "I'm going to school."

In my haste to get away from my annoying little brother, I arrived at school about a half hour early.

"Great. What am I going to do for the next half hour?" I grumbled.

Just then I looked up and spotted Yazmin with her camera in the middle of the school's garden. I got out of my car and walked over to her.

"Hi Yazmin!" I said smiling.

-Click-

She looked up.

"Hi Justice!" She smiled, "I noticed the flowers blooming yesterday and I thought it was the perfect opportunity."

I watched as she snapped a picture of a butterfly on a carnation. She showed me the picture on the back of the camera.

"Wow!" I exclaimed, "That's amazing!"

"Thanks," she said blushing, "Oh! I almost forgot! Zayn is having a party at his place tonight because his parents are out of town. You're invited of course."

Me? Invited to a party? Nobody has ever invited me to a party before. What if I don't know anyone? I'd at least know Yazmin and Zayn but still...

"I don't know," I said nervously, "I'll have to think about it."

"No problem," she said smiling at me, " I understand."

I smiled back at her just as the 10 minute warning bell rang. I looked around. I hadn't realized how many people had gotten here while I was talking to Yazmin.

"Time for class! Bye Yazmin!"

"Bye Justice!"

As I headed off towards my class I thought about the party tonight. Should I go? Who all was going to be there? Was Niall going? What do people even do at parties? I don't even know.

Lost in my own thoughts, I didn't even realize where I was going or how long I was taking.

"Thank you for joining us Justice."

I looked at Mr. Olson and then at the rest of the class. Oops. I was late.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

I hurried to the only seat left, which was, miraculously, at the back of the class.

Just as I sat down I felt my pocket vibrate. It was my phone. I looked up at Mr. Olson. He was immersed in his lesson, completely oblivious to the many people not paying attention. I looked back at my phone and saw that the text was from Niall. Smiling to myself I opened it.

From: Niallx

"Hey! (: ugh science is so boring!"

To: Niallx

"Oh, I know! Yeah I was like, 3 seconds late to math today and Mr. Olson is still freaking out at me."

As I waited for a reply I decided to listen to what Mr. Olson was saying. Just in time too.

"Justice what did I just say?"

"Sir, you said that when many students try to solve matrices, they do it the wrong way. You have to go side to side not up and down."

The whole class snickered. Usually, when Mr. Olson calls someone out for not paying attention, they are never able to answer the question. Mr. O looked a bit flustered.

"Hrumph. Well just keep your eyes on the board."

Laughing to myself, I looked back down at my phone to see that I had another text from Niall.

From: Niallx

"Really? I'm so glad that he's not my math teacher."

To: Niallx

"Yeah, you're super lucky. He's crazy. So, hey, our english project is due in 2 days. We gotta get it done sometime."

From: Niallx

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that! Mind if I come to your house today to work on it?"

To: Niallx

"Yeah no problem! I live super close to the school so you can just follow me to my house."

From: Niallx

"Sounds great! See you at lunch!"

To: Niallx

"See you!x"

Just as I sent my last text, the bell rang. I quickly gathered my stuff, got up, and headed off to my next class thinking about the fact that Niall was going to be at my house. Today. Whoa.

The next few classes went by pretty quickly and were quite uneventful. Which was prety lucky for me since I had some crazy classes! By the time lunch came around I was STARVING! I was ready to eat everything in sight. As I loaded my tray with anything and everything, I heard a voice behind me say,

"Hungry today are we?"

I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.

"Look who's talking. You're hungry everyday Niall!" I said laughing and turning to face him. He laughed too and started filling up his tray.

As we sat down at our table I felt somebody watching me. I looked across the room and saw Jackie glaring at me. I gave her a look like "I dare you bitch." and then turned my attention back to the conversation.

"Yeah my parents are going to be gone today and tomorrow." Zayn was saying. "It's the perfect time for a party. I know we all need one. This year has been so boring."

"I beg to differ." I thought looking over at Niall, who was currently stuffing his face with food. I smiled. He's so cute.

"So Yazmin," I said, "How did those pictures you took this morning turn out?"

"Oh they turned out great!" she said, "I'll have to show them to you later. My camera is in my locker."

"Okay, cool," I said smiling at her, "I can't wait."

During English Niall and I just kinda talked about what we were going to do for our project. We didn't have much to do since we were going to meet at my house later to work on it.

During gym Cher could not stop talking about Zayn's party. She kept, like, bouncing around like a little kid.

"I can't wait! It's been so long since Zayn threw a party! He always throws the best ones!"

"I'm pretty excited too but I've never been to a party before, Cher."

"Oh, It's okay. They're pretty chill. Zayn does bring alcohol but you don't have to have any. I guarantee you though, there will be a ton of people there. And some people get pretty drunk. It would be best for you to stay close to Niall if you don't know what to expect," she said winking at me.

I couldn't tell if she was joking or not but just as I was about to ask I got hit in the face with a football. I don't know if I lost consciousness but my head hurt pretty bad.

"Are you okay?" I heard a voice ask in phony concern.

"H-huh?"

"Are you okay?"

"I- I think so. What happened?"

"Well I kicked the football and I guess I didn't kick it right and it went too high and hit you in the face."

Now I know who it was. Jackie. And I'm pretty sure that it was no accident. I wasn't buying her story and neither was Cher.

"Jackie you knew what you were doing. Everybody knows that you're really good at football. There's no way you kicked it wrong." Cher said quietly so only Jackie could hear.

From what I know of Jackie, I'm sure she gave Cher a dirty look but I couldn't tell. Everything was still kind of fuzzy.

"Justice are you okay? Can you stand up?" Cher asked.

"I don't know. I think so."

"Cher, can you help Justice to the nurses office?" Our teacher, Mrs. Olaf asked.

"Sure thing.," Cher said as she helped me up.

After we got into the hallway I asked,

"Okay, what really happened?"

"Well I don't really know what her problem is but Jackie just has it in for you."

"I don't think she's very happy that I've been talking to Niall a lot lately."

"So, what? She's jealous?"

"I guess so."

"Well that's no reason for her to try and kill you every chance she gets. You need to be careful around her."

"Yeah I'm starting to realize that myself."

Just then we reached the nurses office. She checked me over and made sure I didn't have any lasting damage like a concussion or anything and then gave me some pills for my headache. Since school was nearly over, she said that Cher and I could just hang out in her office until the bell rang. We just kinda chatted about school and stuff and Zayn's party. By the time the bell rang my head was feeling a lot better.

"See you Justice! I've got a lot of homework to do before the party tonight!"

"Same here! See you!"

I started for my locker when I realized I was still wearing my gym clothes and my bag was in my gym locker. Ugh. Sighing, I headed back towards the gym to change and grab my bag. By the time I got changed, school had been over for a while. Mostly everybody had left. As I headed toward my locker I wondered where Niall was and how he was going to know where I lived if I wasn't able to find him. As I turned the corner, I saw Niall leaning against my locker looking so fucking gorgeous. It should not be legal for anyone to look that sexy. I'm serious.

"Hey," I said smiling at him.

"Hey I was wondering when you'd get here. I thought you had forgotten me," he said pretending to be sad.

"Sorry I got a little held up." I said hoping he wouldn't pursue the subject. But, of course, he did.

"Why?" he asked.

"I was in the nurses office," I said quickly, trying to be evasive. It didn't work.

"What? Why?" He sounded concerned.

"Got hit in the face with a football," I mumbled.

He just looked at me all concerned like but dropped it.

After I gathered my stuff, we headed out towards the parking lot chatting about our project. My car was closest so I told him I'd wait until I saw him behind me so he could follow me to my house. When I got in my car I decided to text my mom and tell her Niall would be coming over. When I looked up I saw Niall in his car behind me and waved. I then started up my car and headed out of the parking lot. It really only took three minutes to get to my house since mostly everyone had left already.

As soon as we got to my house I knew this was going to be difficult. My brother had some of his friends over and they were currently screaming in the living room shooting each other with nerf guns.

"Sorry about this," I said blushing, "Maybe we should go in my room."

"Yeah sounds good," he said laughing.

I swear to God that boy spends 90% of his time laughing. Which is perfect because he has the cutest laugh in the world. His laughter could bring world peace. I'm not even joking.

We had been working for a while and had gotten quite a bit done when Justin and his friends burst into my room.

"Hey Justice! Whatcha doin in here?"

"Justin! We're working!"

"Who are you?" he asked turning to Niall.

"I'm Niall. Im a friend of Justice's," he said showing off one of his most dazzling smiles. I almost died right there.

"Yes, Justin, this is Niall. Niall, this is Justin. Okay bye," I said shoving my brother and his friends out the door. "Sorry about that. He's pretty nosy. I usually never have friends over."

"Well I'm pretty sure that's going to change," Niall said winking at me.

I just smiled and tried not to think about what he meant because I'm pretty sure I'd fall over.

By the time we were finished with our project, it was nearly 5:30 and I was ready to be done with Mrs. Matthews and the whole stupid project. It took forever! But at least I got to work with Niall. He makes everything so much more fun!

"Oh my gosh! It's about time we finished that!" I said as I walked Niall to the door.

"Yeah that was terrible! Hey, are you going to Zayn's party tonight?"

"Definitely! It's going to be amazing!"

"Do you, uh, do you want to go with me?

I paused not believing my ears.

"W-with you?"

"Well, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to but I just thought..." he said trailing off looking flustered.

"No, no I'd love to! I was just caught a bit off guard is all. But I'd love to go with you!"

"Really? Great! I'll pick you up at 7 okay?"

"Sounds great!"

As soon as he left I let out a squeal and ran straight to my room and dialed Megan's number.

"Hello?" I heard Megan answer.

"He asked me to go to a party with him!"

"Justice? Wait, what?"

"Niall! He asked me to go to a party with him tonight!"

"Justice that's awesome! Tell me everything!"

After I got done telling here every single delicious detail, I glanced at the clock.

"Hey, Megan, I gotta go. I need to get ready."

"Yeah I gotta go to sleep. Call me tomorrow and tell me how it went!"

Yeah, sure! Talk to you tomorrow!"

I looked at the clock again. It was already 6!

"Oh no! I only have an hour to get ready! I'd better hurry!"
