Still Continuing From Elena's POV
I woke up after instantly hearing the noise of clanking of pots and pans downstairs in the kitchen. I opened my eyes slowly yawning at the same time and sat up looking outside my window. The sunlight beaming through the window in my face blinding me.
I couldn't see a thing until I lifted my hand up hovering over my face blanking out the sunlight. I blinked a couple of times trying to get my eyesight back and I looked around the room. I could still hear the clanking and banging coming from downstairs, I stood up from my bed stretching my arms out and walked to the man hole.
I slipped through landing on my feet crouching a little, I straightened up and walked downstairs into the kitchen finding my father dressed and ready just fixing up the last parts of the kitchen. I shook my head and laughed, he looked up at me smiling and said "Morning love".
"Morning dad" I said whilst yawning, I walked to him kissed his forehead making my way to the bench and looked around, everything was completely done. I looked at my father confused, "I stayed up all night darling" he says smiling.
I nodded, "But you look all energized and everything…aren't you tired dad?" I say whilst pouring some already made hot coffee in my favorite mug before drinking it. My father grabbed his briefcase, kissed the top of my head and said "You remembered our talk about the school you're going to or do I have to explain it again".
I put my coffee down on the kitchen bench and said looking in my coffee mug "I remember dad…just go to work! everything will be fine".
I looked up at him smiling, he smiled back and walked towards the door. When he opened it, Niall was standing there with his backpack over his shoulder and his hand up looking like he was about to knock. My father moved aside and said laughing "She is in the kitchen lad", scooted passed him, slipped into his car and drove off down the street. He was wearing a pale blue hoodie, blue and red plaited shirt, black skinny jeans and white supra shoes.
I quickly looked down at my coffee and took another sip, I could feel the warmth slipping down my throat. I licked my lips and I could hear Niall's footsteps as he was walking into the kitchen, I looked up at him slightly smiling and said "Morning Niall". He laughed walking to the tool next to me and sat down facing in my direction.
I got up without eye contact, walked to the sink and washed my mug out. I could feel his stare on me as I walked out of the kitchen towards the stairs. I turned around looking at him curiously and asked laughing "Not being rude or anything…but why are you here?".
Niall smiled, hopped off the seat and walked towards me leaning on the stairway post. "I thought I could show you around the school, your father came over earlier talking to my mum, I overheard him saying that you were coming to the same school as me".
I laughed, leaned on the stairway post with my back and said smiling "Thanks…I guess I'll be down in ten haha", I ran upstairs, up the ladder to my room and picked out my clothes for the day. I carried them downstairs to the bathroom, grabbed a towel from the linen cupboard, closed the bathroom door and turned the shower on.
As I stripped down, I could hear singing coming from downstairs, I paused for a second and continued listening…realizing it was Niall. I smiled at the sound of his voice, then jumped under the warm water and started washing myself.
I could hear his voice getting louder as I was in the shower. I recognized the song he was singing, Forever Young by Alphaville. It's one of my favorite songs, I started to mouth the words as he sang and eventually I hopped out of the shower, turned the knob off and dried myself up.
I grabbed my undies and bra and slipped them on, I snatched my favorite black skinny jeans off the towel rack and slipped them on. I looked around trying to find my red, brown and blue aztec woolen jacket and white singlet.
I moved the laundry box forward and saw them scrunched up behind the box. I picked them up and slipped them on.I brushed my hair and threw it up in a high messy ponytail. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Niall standing there leaning on the staircase railing, he looked up smiling at me.
I smiled back before I ran climbing up my bedroom ladder grabbing my black Ken Griffey Nike shoes and socks, I sat on my bed and slipped them both on.
I looked outside my bedroom window and noticed the dark cloudy sky, I heard Niall shout form downstairs "Elena hurry up we will miss the bus!". I snapped out of my focus and slipped my shoes on, I grabbed my brown leather bag and took off down the ladder, downstairs to Niall who was standing by the front door.
I ran down the stairs seeing the house keys my father left for me on the couch, I quickly grabbed them slipping them in my pocket and jumped out the front door landing on my two feet. I heard Niall laugh making me turn around, I smiled at him and then I swung my bag over my shoulder.
"Okay we have about fifteen minutes to get the bus stop…normally takes me half an hour to walk there so we better leave quick" Niall said walking passed me through the front gate. I locked front door and ran out of the front yard, closing the gate behind me.
Niall and I started walking down the footpath at a fast pace, getting to know each other along the way to the bus stop. It turns out we have a lot in common, our favorite food is Nandos, we love to sing, he owns a guitar and we both suck at piano.
He also told me that he was a twin, when I mean was he has never seen her. It actually got me thinking for a second but I couldn't think it was possible considering Rose's hair is a dark chocolate brown not a bleached blonde.
When we reached the bus stop, the bus arrived just as we sat down under the shelter next to the bus stop post. I pulled out my money as I stepped up on the first step, I handed it to the bus driver, he grunted at me giving me a filthy look like he hated my guts.
I raised both of my eyebrows, walked through the isle of the bus. I could feel everyone stare at me, but I just ignored them and sat at the back the second row down.
I looked up at the window, out the corner of my eye I saw Niall walking towards me. I looked at him smiling a little, moving closer to the window and he sat down beside me setting his bag on his lap. "My mate Liam catches the bus with me on here, he normally sits where your sitting but I honestly don't think he will mind love, he is really nice not like those bastards that yell at you to get the fuck off out of their seats" Niall said looking at me laughing, I laughed along with him and then the bus took off down the street.
I felt my phone vibrate in my bag, I sat my bag on my lap unzipping the front, pulling out my phone. I looked at the screen and read a text message from Rose, I realized I forgot to call her.
Like I had promised her.
She hates it when I break her promises. Come to think of it. She hates it when anyone breaks a promise they make to her. I opened up the message and read "You forgot to call me last night Lenny! :(".
I also hated making her upset, I promised to call her and I broke that promise.
I replied back "I'm so sorry love, I PROMISE...PROMISE on my life that I will call you tonight or after school, I was just caught up in unpacking I'm so sorry babe :( please forgive me!".
I slid my phone back into my pocket, I felt so bad for letting her down, I looked outside at the passing houses beginning to chew my bottom lip. I felt Niall tap my shoulder, I turned my head and looked at him. "You okay Elena?" he asked concerned.
I nodded, pursed my lips and said with no emotion "It's nothing Niall don't worry", I looked down at my bag and started playing with the ends of my hair.
"In my eyes it seems like you have got something on your mind, something that's annoying you" Niall said shifting his body facing me, I looked up at his face, I took a deep breath and said quietly "Yeah I do, but don't worry about it I'm absolutely fine", I fake smiled at him showing my teeth and then the bus stopped.
I heard footsteps coming towards us, "Who is sitting in my spot Nialler?" I heard a British guy say assuming it was Niall's friend Liam, Niall laughed and said whilst smiling "This is my new friend Elena". I felt Niall nudge me and I looked up at Liam. He had light brown short hair, fairly tall, dark chocolate brown eyes and his smile was just breath taking.
He was wearing a tight three quarter sleeve shirt, plain black skinny jeans with a simple black belt holding them up around his hips, with a pair of low white converse. I smiled warmly towards him, he smiled holding his hand out "I'm Liam, Liam Payne and you must be Elena haha".
I took his hand, we both shook on the greeting and he sat down in front of us. He sat leaning against the window, turned his body facing us and said smiling "So where you from love?", I smiled at him and said shyly "Canterbury, it's only an hour and a half drive out of town". Liam nodded, biting his bottom lip with a thinking look and said smiling "Never been there haha".
I laughed along with him and said "It's not a very popular town to visit, there's only about a couple thousand people", Liam's eyebrows raised up and he said surprised "Really?, wow not very populated haha".
I smiled, turned my head at Niall and he is just looking at me smiling, I couldn't help but blush madly and turn my attention to the window looking outside. I heard Liam laugh and I glanced up at him, I smiled a little and then I felt in itch in my throat and coughed.
I felt Niall's hand touch the middle of my back, "You okay Elena?" Niall said with a little worry, I looked at him covering my mouth with my hand. I uncovered my mouth, coughed again in my shirt and then took a breath in deep.
"So tell me about yourself Elena?" I heard Liam say as he moved onto his knees, leaning on his arms on the back of his seat. I looked up at him and began to speak "Well, I'm the only child in my family, my full name is Elena May Sanchez, my favorite color is red, I love the guitar, I suck at piano no doubt about it, I love singing, HUGE fan of writing and…I am Italian and British" I finished with an innocent smile.
Liam cheekily grinned at Niall then back at me, "You two have a lot of things in common except, he is Irish and his favorite colour is blue haha".
He sat himself back down and pulled his phone out and started texting. I sat back against my seat, I slid my headphones in my ears and pressed play listening to "Happiness by Alexis Jordan". It's one of my favorite songs right now. I honestly can't stop listening to it, I remember I looked up on my itunes after I plugged it in and the plays was over five thousand. But that was a month ago, god knows how much more plays it has now.
Niall's POV
I just can't help but look at Elena, every time she talks it's like her voice just chimes in my ears and I just want to listen to her. Her smile is to die for and my heart just melts, she is so honest, you can tell she is a good listener and she's into the same sort of stuff as I am.
"Niall, you like her don't you?" Liam said to me smirking whilst looking at Elena, I looked at him and laughed "What makes you say that?". Liam raised his left brow and said seriously "Well why do you keep staring at her like that?, when she talks you look at her like your so into what she is saying...even though she is quite beautiful, you're eyes are like stuck on her whenever she is just looking around".
I shook my head denying what Liam said, I glanced at Elena then back at Liam and said "I'm just…being a good listener, a friend…even though yes she is beautiful doesn't mean I like her like that, I only met her last night Liam haha".
Liam rolled his eyes laughing and then went back to texting Danielle. "What?" I asked Liam confused and he just waved his hand in my face. I moved my head back and just rested against my seat.
Liam's POV
I glanced up at Niall whilst holding my phone, every thirty seconds he glances at Elena. Bullshit, he does like her, he may have met her last night but still you can tell he is starting to like her.
I felt my phone vibrate, I looked down at my phone screen and read my girlfriend Danielle's text. "Babe, meet me outside at the back of the school under our tree :) 3", I smiled at her text and replied "Ok babes ;) meet you there, we're close to the school, only about five minutes".
I slipped my phone back in the front pocket of my bag and laid back against the window just waiting to get to school so I can see my love.
