Chap 3: My frightening surprise
Part 1: Who is he?

Isabella’s POV:

I had just said goodbye with Niall. Before he went, he even gave me a kiss on my cheek and whispered: “ Good night, hun. Thank you so much for today.” I was into the way he whispered. He was so childlike and cute. All of a sudden, when I opened the door, Hannah shouted at me impolitely:
“Bella! Where have you been all this evening?”
I spoke in a very low voice:
“Uhm. At Vicky’s house…as I told u…”
She smiled contemptuously:
“You are such a LIAR! Vicky came to our house tonight and joined my party. Bella, tell me the truth. Are u dating?”

Oh shit! I forgot that I had invited Vicky to the party. What could I say now? Tell her that I had dinner with Niall – her idol and he kissed me a minute ago? I didn’t want to be killed by Hannah but I couldn’t tell lie any more ( I’m not good at it! ). So, I just walked past her, saying nothing. Hannah still ran after me, asking continously:

“Tell me, tell me, Bella…Who did you go with? Tell me or else I will tell Dad.”
“Yup. Do whatever you want. I don’t care!” I shouted and slammed the door at her.
“She thinks that she can make me scared by telling dad? Nonsense! Daddy even always told me to have a boyfriend. He must be overjoyed if I tell him that I have a boyfriend as Niall” I thought.

All the night, my dream was full of Niall and his wonderful voice. Such a beautiful dream!

6.30am. At home

Isabella’s POV:

When I was having breakfast at home, I received a message from Niall:
“Happy morning. Last night I dreamt about u, Bella.xxx” He was so cute when he texted.
I smiled happily and replied:
“Me too. Wea r u now?”

Suddenly, Hannah snatched my telephone and shouted:
“What the fuck! I dreamt about you, Bella. How ROMANTIC and SWEET this message is!”
“Bella! You have a boyfriend and you don’t tell me?” My dad angrily said.
I said shyly:
“ Nope, Daddy. He is not my boyfriend. Just normal friend.”
Hannah teased me:
“Bella, I don’t think that a normal friend could text so romantically like that.”

I chased her, shouting:
“Hannah, give it back to me!”
She ran around the room and kept irritating me:
“No, no, no! Tell me who this foolish boy is, first.”

My dad screamed:
“Hannah, Bella. Stop immediately!”
We unwillingly came back to our seats. My dad began to see information.
“Bella, now you are 16 and it’s really normal if you have a boyfriend. But you should introduce him to us. This afternoon, I’m free so…”
“No, daddy, I can’t. I just met him yesterday.” I said
“No matter, honey. We can meet him another day but tell me a bit about him. What’s his name? How old is he? Where does he live? How many…” My dad kept asking

“Dad, Stop! I won’t tell you anything” I hit the roof “ It’s time to go to school. I’ll go by bus. Bye, Dad.” I said and angrily snatched my phone from Hannah.
