Why Don't We Go There?
Chapter Five
Clary's POV
I rolled out of bed and showered. I started school next week. Kill me now. I'm already dreading it. But Ellie and Lillys guranteed that I would be just fine. I didn't think the same thing...and on top of that Niall is driving me...he was acting really weird the other day. Like flustered...which is not something I'm used to...guys only got like that around Nicole not plain old me.
Practice has been going well. As Ellie and Lilly predicted I made the A squad. The girls on the team asked a lot of questions about California and all the other places I've lived. I am starting to fit in with them at least.
Today there is no practice so I am going to the park to paint. I packed up my stuff and grabbed my phone and earbuds. I pressed shuffle and headed out. I would never be able to walk around with headphones in by myself back in Cali. I would have gotten mobbed or raped. But here in Mullingar, not even a problem. I don't even think they know what a realy crime looks like.
I made it to the park with ease. I sat down on a hill and started to draw. I didn't even notice when Harry sat down next to me until he tapped me on the shoulder. "Huh? Oh Harry! Hi!" He smiled. I've really only talked to him like twice, but it was nice to know that he wanted to sit by me at the park. He was very attractive. He had stunning green eyes and he had dimples.
"Hello, love. Whatcha drawing?" He leaned over and looked at my drawing. Which was just of this big tree that people sit under to hide from this crazy heat. It's not crazy...its mild heat. But they are weird over here so there's that. While Harry was looking at my drawing I caught a nice whiff of his body wash. He smelled really nice. "Wow that's really good Clary."
"Thanks, my mom taught me how to paint and sketch. Do you draw?"
"I doodle on my notes...does that count?" He smiled at me. I laughed at him. Lilly was right he is pretty cheeky.
"Uh sure. I'll count that. How long have you been sitting there?"
"I dunno aobut 15 minutes, you looked so beautiful drawing and what not I didn't want to disturb you." I blushed.
Nicole would never believe this. Back home I only had one boyfriend and that relationship lasted all of 2 weeks. I wasn't tall, blonde, tan, and willing to sleep around so the boys back home never really noticed me.
"Oh...uh thank you. You can stay here if you want and watch." He smiled at me again. Damn those dimples.
"That would be lovely way to spend a lovely afternoon." He was so fucking charming. He could probably charm the pants right off a girl. I went back to drawing and Harry just laid down beside me and watched. I played my music on my phone without earbuds in so we both could listen.
Niall's POV
I was walking through the park on my day off I just got done eating luch with my older brother. He's got some issues that I always seemed to get dragged into...that's not my problem though. He chose to stay with dad. I went with mom becasue I wasn't stupid...I knew who the better cook was.
I was walking along, it was kind of hot for this time of the year here in Ireland. Then I spotted Clary and Harry laughing and talking. I just stopped walking. Harry and Clary weren't even friends what the hell is going on? What was Harry even doing up? I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I felt so jealous in that moment.
So I walked up to them. "Lovely day isn't it? Clary I didn't know that you drew." I say down on the other side of her. I totally knew that she could, I mean she could paint so I assumed she could draw as well. Her whole face dropped thought and she looked at me like she was going to punch me in my throat. Harry was smiling though, happy to see me.
"Hey mate. Yea she's amazing isn't she? I'm keeping her company and I like to watch her draw." I don't really know my feelings towards Clary but I definitely didn't like the idea of Harry watching her. I wanted to do that...I wanted her to just be happy that I was there laying down beside her. Clary looked at Harry and smiled.
"Yea, well you're not too bad yourself." Oh my god she was flirting with my best friend. I think I'm going to be sick. I couldn't sit there any longer so I just stood up really fast. "Well...I'll see you tonight Harry for practice right?"
"Yea mate! See ya then!" I got up and left.
I looked back and she was showing Harry something on her phone and he started cracking up. Great. Harry was so charming it wasn't even funny and those stupid ass dimples didn't help anything. He was probably the most wanted boy in school but he has never done anything with a girl. He just was content being single.
I got back home and texted Louis to see what he was up to. Probably making out with Ellie somewhere. I laid on my bed just staring at the ceiling. The image of her laughing with Harry playing over and over again in my head. I sighed and grabbed my phone.
I laid there for about an hour creeping on Clary's Facebook and Twitter. She was hilarious. I went outside and decided to practice my shooting. I was bending down to pick up the ball since I kicked it a bit harder when I thought about Clary and Harry again. I looked up to see her returning home. A smile played on my lips. That's it...just go over there and talk to her. She won't rip your head off...hopefully. I sighed but decided to go over and attempt to talk to Clary.
Clary's POV
I gave my number to Harry. I got a hot British guy's number. Holy shit. Harry was gorgeous. I could just stare at him all day. I bet he had killer abs. Wow I can't wait to skype Nicole. She will be so impressed.
I was walking home and texting Nicole to tell her that I will be home soon for our skype date. We're cute like that. One more week until she comes here. That also meant school was quickly approaching. Ugh I didn't even want to think about it. Two days until I had to go back to being the new girl. I was not looking foreward to that.
I made it home and noticed Niall was practicing his kicks in his frontyard. I looked at him. He really wasn't that bad looking...sometimes he just said the wrong things. Maybe if he just never talked...then we could be friends.
Then my phone started to play the skype music. "Hey! Nicole I just got to my yard."
"Hey!! One more week until I get to see you and all your gingerness!" I just rolled my eyes. Niall stopped and looked at me. He probably heard Nicole. He shouted at me while running over.
"Hey Clary! Did you finish your sketch? Could I see it?" No, no he can't see it. Say something Clary! I couldn't though because he was smiling and damn he looked really good. Then I snapped out of it but it was too late. He was already heading over here. Great.
"OOO is that your hot neighbor?! Let ME SEE!"
"Shut the fuck up Nicole. He can hear you!" If Niall did hear he didn't let on that he did. He somehow was already at my side so I showed him the sketch.
"Wow that's amazing Clary. You're really good. Is there anything you can't do?"
"She can't get a guy." My eyes grew super wide and Niall coughed a bit. When Nicole came over here I was so going to punch her for that.
"Well I'll let you two continue. Oh Monday be ready at by 7 okay?" He gave me a small smile and his face was a bit red.
"Uh yea sure. Hey thanks again." He just smiled and nodded, I walked inside ignoring Nicole's squealing and shouting.
"What's MONDAY? PLEASE TELL ME A HOT DATE!" She was running around her room. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Yea a hot date known as school you idiot." I told her all about Harry and she squealed and danced around her room.
"I cannot wait to see you! I have to go! Soccer camp is calling my name! Love you Ging!"
"Love you too turd." Then the call ended. I sighed and I am so going to kill her. I didn't want Niall to know that I thought he was hot...God now it will be even more awkward around him.
Niall's POV
She thought I was hot? Did she think Harry was hot? I got ready for band practice and headed out. That's all I could think about the whole carride to Harry's. Clary told her best friend that I was hot. She thinks I'm hot. I wonder if she told her friend about Harry...doesn't really matter though...she's already talked about me.
I got there a little late and came in to hear this "I got her number too! She is so cool and funny!"
"You got Clary's number??" I couldn't help but almost scream those words out. Holy shit...I think I like Clary...
"Niall! Glad you could make it! And yea he did! Lucky bastard. You haven't and you live next door!" Yea don't remind me Liam.
I sat down next to Louis. Okay just play it cool Niall... "How did you manage that? She never wants to talk."
"Maybe to you, she is actually really funny." Great now Harry is falling for her. I wanted to slap that dimpled smile right off of his smug little face.
"Maybe you should ask her out on a date" I have never wanted to punch Liam more than in this moment. Shit I was developing a crush on a girl that didn't even like to talk to me. She hated me! She really only calls me by my last name. Oh god this is the worst ever.
"Yea maybe I will. She said that she had a really fun time in the park. I will tomorrow! Now lets practice." Yep I was jealous. Harry was going on a date with the girl I liked. Why did I like her? She barely gives me the time of day. Maybe that's why. Everyone instantly likes me, and she didn't. Also maybe it had to do with her amazingly green eyes...or the way she sings. I wonder if Harry knows she can sing? Probably not...okay Niall focus. Band practice is happening right now.
