Behind the glasses

Chapter 5

My stomach flops like a fish out of water as I wait for Naill at the library. Why did you agree to this, Allison?! Because you still love him...ugh. I mentally groan. "Alli?" I open my eyes to see a very red faced Naill. "H-Hi what happened?" I ask, as he takes a seat. "I got into an argument with Louis." He says, opening up his textbook. I nod, but remained silent. Argument? Probably over Madilyn... Jealousy fills a pit in my stomach. I take a deep breath. "Where do we get started?" I ask him. "Page 89 is where I'm struggling right now." He says. Page 89. Literally elements consisting of alternate...Yeah. I can see why he's struggling. I had to stay up late nights cramming this stuff in. "Alright." I breathe.

We spent 2 hours reviewing over the chapter. "When's your test?" I ask. "Monday." I nod. "Naill?" I ask. He looks up. "Yeah?" I take a deep breath. "Why did you ask me to help?" Amusement flickers over his sapphire blue eyes. "Because I need it so I can play." "But couldn't you just get some cheerleader to do it for you? You're Naill Horan."I say. He smiles. " I used to think like that too." I open my mouth to speak. "Being popular doesn't mean your life is perfect." He says, before I can speak. I laugh. "Trust me, I know." Shit. He squints at me, suspicious. "Why would you say that?" " I-I can imagine." He keeps looking at me intently. "Alli... Your eyes. They're..." The realization hits. In my rush to school, I forgot to put on my contacts. "Mesmerizing." He finishes, deep in thought.

Naill P.O.V
(Flashback)

I slam Louis into the wall as soon as I walk into the locker room. "You son of bitch, I know what you did." I growl. He laugh. "What did I do?" "You're the one that got Madilyn pregnant, not me. Then, you made her abort. You asshole, disgusting-" He punches me in the jaw. "So what? It's over, Naill. Allison is gone. She's in New York giving some guy what she never gave you!" I ram him into the wall again, and he swings at my torso. In a few minutes, I hear screaming and I'm being pulled off Louis. My once best friend, my once brother. Now, my nothing.
( end Flashback)

It takes exactly 2 hours and 5 minutes for us to finish the chapter. I know. Since when do I care about grades? Since never. I'm failing. That's true. But not by much. I'm still eligible. And also still football captain. Yes, I lied. Why? So she'd help me. I wanted her to feel bad for me and agree. Alli Westley. Nerd. Nobody. But I know that she's on louis's radar. He always talks about her, home bangable she is and how he'll enjoy to be her first. Hah. He took my girlfriend. Now I'll take his dream of corrupting Alli. He took what I loved the most, and no, not Madilyn, he can keep her. He took Allison. I know I made a mistake. I cheated on her. With Madilyn, but I was drunk. I'd drink at every party, and Madilyn would make her move afterwards. I'd spend that night with her and remember nothing afterwards. Then one day she told me she was pregnant. I refused to believe her. So she took a test. It was positive. So I had no choice but to tell Allison everything. And of course. She dumped my ass immediately. But it was never my child. It was louis's and she killed it.

So this is my revenge. Getting Alli to fall fair me and then sleep with her. So I asked her to tutor me. Classic. But now, looking at those blue/grey eyes, I can't help but remember Allison now. And she's hate me for doing this. No I can't. "I'm not doing anymore." I announce. Alli looks at me quizzically. "What are you talking about?" I curse myself in my head. "My head feels like it's about to burst. I'm done reading for today." I chuckle. She smiles. "I've got to go home. See you... tomorrow?" She asks. "Yeah. Need a ride?" I ask, gathering my stuff's. "I like to walk. Besides, it's really pretty outside today." She says, peeking out the window. "You're right, I'll walk you." She shakes her head. "No.. that's -" "no problem" I say smiling. She visibly gulps. There's something about her.
