Behind the glasses

Tuesday morning, I decided to dress up a bit. Emerald green top, dark denim jeans, and a black cardigan. I apply a bit of mascara, and lip balm. Then, realizing I'm late, I quickly brush my hair and pull it in a high ponytail, and pull on my glasses. I speed walk to the bus stop and plop down in my usual seat up at the front. Looking out if the window, I don't him until it's too late.

"Yo need!" I turn my head. Oh shit. Louis Tomilson. Senior. For three years in a row. Niall's best friend. And my tormentor. "What?" I ask. "Ooh Feisty." He say, licking his lips.

"Just leave me alone." I say, turning back toward the window. He plops down next to me. "C'mon nerd. Let me see what your hiding." I tensed up. "Get. Away." He kisses my forehead. "You'll give in someday." I dare not breathe until he leaves. When he does, I release a deep breath. "Okay." I mumble to myself. As I get off the bus, Louis whistles. "Loving the view, nerd." He snickers. I roll my eyes and make my way to my locker, I notice Niall leaning against it, waiting. For me? I take a deep breath, and walk up to my locker.

"Alli, Okay, I need a favor." He exclaims. So he was waiting for me. "If it wouldn't be too much to ask...Maybe you could...Friday night? My place? I could really use the help." "Isn't the big game Friday?" He nods. "I can't play until I pass." He says, sadly. "But...You're the captain." I say stupidly. "Not anymore." He huffs. "Louis took my place and my girlfriend too." He says, turning to look at Marilyn and Louis making out by the locker.

"Oh." I say. So Louis did to him what Marilyn did to me. Serves him right. But..."That's fine" I say. "Great, Now if I could just have your number to text you my address?" You already have it, I want to say. "Okay." I reply, giving him the 10 digit number. He smiles. "Thanks Alli." I nod. "You're welcome, naill." I wispered. He turns on his heels and walks away.

[Flashback]
"You're beautiful." Naill said, looking at me. I shook my head, feeling the heat at my cheeks. "Who..." He laughs. "Naill Horan" I nodded slowly, still not understanding. "Allison. Are you okay?" I sat up. "Kinda." He rushed to my side as I took a step. Before I fall on my butt, he caught me. "Th-Thanks." I stuttered. He smiles. "Mind if I walk you home?" "Not at all." I said, slowly processing his words. On the way home, we talked about our hobbies, and what we liked. I started laughing, and soon we arrived at my house. As I was walking up the steps, he called out my name. "Don't you think I deserve your number?" He kicked, smiling. I giggle, and grapped a pen. Then I took his hand and wrote it down. "Don't lose it." I had whispered, looking at his sapphire blue eyes. "Trust me I won't."

The words ring in my head all day. "Trust me." How could I Naill.
