Chapter 7
The next morning I'd arrived in school to find none of the crew around. Not at the spot we usually sit in, not at the library, nowhere. Alright, I thought. Maybe their bus is late or something. I started to make my way to my locker, with thoughts and memories of yesterday afternoon with Zayn replaying in my mind. I had to talk to him more. But how? Approaching my locker I noticed it was different from what it had looked like yesterday. There were posters? That doesn't sound right. Suddenly a group of people jumped out of nowhere and chanted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!" Oh my god! I'd completely forgotten! I laughed as they all came in for a group hug. "Thanks so much guys!", I said cheerfully. Everyone was smiling at me. "The big one six, aye?", said Harry happily. I laughed again. Guess I was excited. "Yeah", I said. "– But how did you guys know?" I'm pretty sure I don't remember telling them. "A little birdy told us", said Niall. Cheeky, Niall. I began to read the posters that the crew had stuck on my locker. They contained some of the most embarrassing photos of me, some being captioned "Happy Birthday to our dear retard Jenna". "Heeeeey that's not nice", I said with a childish voice, pointing to the particular poster. Harry looked down smiling. "I believe this is your doing, Styles?", I said. "Tis indeed", he said proudly. Then one particular photo caught my eye. It was the one of me and Niall at lunch when I was sitting on his lap, with his arms wrapped around my waist. In the photo I was laughing like an idiot and Niall was just smiling. When had they managed to take that? I don't remember seeing a camera, or flash or any phones during the event. But then again, I don't see many things happening that are right in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but smile like an idiot because of what the crew had done. I opened my locker, as the crew spoke with hushed voices around me. Opening the door fully, a whole heap of confetti sprayed on me. Everyone laughed like crazy. "Louis?", I questioned. "Yep", they all replied with laughter. Louis looked down at the ground smiling to himself. That pranker. I should have seen it coming. Just then Hannah turned to me with a large box in her hands. The box was wrapped with silver wrapping paper and a purple ribbon to complement. "Aww, you guys!", I said. "Here", she said with a smile, handing it to me. "A little something from all of us." I wondered what it could be. But before unwrapping it, I placed the box down and came in for a group hug. "Thankyou so much guys! This has officially been one of the best birthdays ever!" they all cheered. "Come on now! Open it! It's got little compartments made for all our presents to you!", said Niall. Someone was excited! I unwrapped it, opened the lid and looked inside. Niall was right. The box was sectioned out into seven parts. One present was individually from each of them and one in the middle from all of them. Louis had gotten me this shirt with the words "I love Louis" imprinted onto it. Gosh that boy! Hannah had gotten me these pretty bracelets and rings that I'd told her about once. I adored them. Emma got me an iTunes giftcard and some Oh Lola perfume from Marc Jacob. I loved the smell! Liam had gotten me a gorgeous new wallet, because I whinged about needing a new one quite a few times. Gosh he really does know how to choose a gift! Probably because he has Emma to spoil. "Open it", he said. Surprised, I opened it. "50 pounds!" "Aww thankyou so much Lili!", I said happily. Next was Harry. He was so cute! He had gotten me a teddy bear wearing a wig of curly hair! I laughed so hard just at the sight! The teddy also had a case next to it and inside the case where scissors! I was literally crying of laughter by that stage, as was everybody else. "Call me Jenny once more, and I'll chop your curls off!" I remembered the playful threat. The crew got together and gave me the group present. It was so adorable! It was a framed photo, of all of us together smiling into the camera. "Hope you like it", said Emma. "No, I love it. Thankyou so much for everything guys! This day is going to be worthwhile!" Everyone hugged each other, before I realised Niall. Niall was the last person left. Everyone had said happy birthday to me once more, and proceeded to their lockers, leaving Niall and I alone together. He looked at me and smiled. "Guess it's just you and me…", he said, before continuing with "Come on, I'll show you what I got." His present was in a little box, resembling that of something from a jewellery store. I watched him open the box. "Turn around", he said "And close your eyes…" Obeying the instructions I did exactly as he said, and it wasn't long before I could feel him behind me. A cool chain made its way around my neck. "Alright, you can open your eyes now." I looked down at the necklace Niall had gotten me. It was beautiful. It had pink jewels which formed into the shape of a love heart. "Aww Niall it's beautiful", I said. He was still standing behind me, allowing him the chance to wrap his arms around me. He then did something rather unexpected. He leaned in towards my cheek and kissed it from behind. "I'm so glad you like it", he said smiling at me whilst looking into my eyes. My face flushed, going to the brightest shade of red. "You look so cute when you blush", he said. Just then, the bell rung and Niall proceeded by walking me to class.
"Be good in class, muffin", he said, smiling playfully, before leaving me to enter into my first class of the day; Sport.
