THIS IS A STORY BASED OFF THE SONG SHE'S NOT AFRAID BY ONE DIRECTION: You take a deep breath as you look in the mirror. You can't make a sound or else you're parents are going to catch you. It's no problem, you've snuck out before! your friend said this party will be like none other in your sophomore class. You check your clock. 12. midnight. Your friend should be here by now. you run outside to see the car. You jump in and your friend smiles at you. "Are you going to talk to Niall???" she asks. "Oh my gosh! Stop!" You shove her shoulder and shake your head. "Oh by the way, I won't be able to drive you home today. But guess who volunteered!!!" "You. Did. Not." Niall was going to take you home. great. As you arrive, you see some of your other friends and start talking to them. everyone is staring at you, but you ignore them. you feel a tap on your shoulder. "Hey!" it's Niall. His blue eyes look down at you and smile. "I'm taking you home later, just in case you didn't know..." "No, it's fine, I knew!" You turn around again, ignoring him completely. You have a blast at the party. Your friends jammed out to pop music and didn't give a care to the world. But eventually, that party ended. You find Niall and head to his car. the drive home is pretty awkward, he keeps trying to make conversation but you give pretty short answers. When you reach your house, Niall opens the door for you and leads you to your doorstep. "thanks for driving me home." "Oh! yeah, anytime." "well...bye!" He leans in for a hug, but you dodge out of the way and close the door in his face. That was close. --- The next day at school, Niall approaches you and looks pretty happy. "Hey..." But you pretend you don't hear him. "I had a lot of fun last night, I was wondering if...hello?" You get up and wave at him without even looking back. Your friends find you in the hallway and they start talking about what happened. "No way does Niall Horan have a crush on you" "That boy...tsk tsk." "You aren't going to go for him, right?" "He's just going to break your heart!" You nod at what they're saying but look back to see him trying to catch your attention. You wink and turn back around, laughing. You stop at your locker, and Niall rushes up to your side. "OK...I have something I need to tell you...I kind of, like you. I've had these feelings..." "Are you sure? cause that's what it was with Demi, Hailee, and Selena." You turn around and start walking. You can't believe it...Niall likes you. you shake your head. You can't fall for this kid! He's just the boy who plays with all of the girl's hearts. you look down at your phone. it's Niall. Again. N: Hey...what's up? You're acting different Y: It's nothing N: What's wrong??? when we call at night you're never like this How dare he bring up their late night talking. He basically just called you out! You go into the cafeteria and sit down with your book. The lunch lines are pretty long, and there's no point in waiting. Niall comes and sits down right next to you. you move to the right. he moves too. you move again. then him. you get up and walk away in frustration. Suddenly, he grabs your hand and pulls you in front of him. you stare at his eyes, but look down. He blinks and turns away. What have you done! You feel guilty the rest of the day, every couple of minutes, you try to look at him, but he won't return the gaze. you've ruined everything. After school you drive to his house. You knock on his door and he answers. you can tell he's been crying. oh no. "look...I'm sorry for coming on to strong, I just..." he starts. You ignore what he says again, and hug him. Surprised, he hugs you back, crying into your shoulder a little bit. "I love you" he says. "I love you too." you respond This time, you're not afraid. THE END Please don't steal my work! I worked hard!
