daydreaming - louis partridge oneshots

04 - valentines day

i shove all my books in my locker and slam the door shut. as i flip myself around leaning my back on the lockers, i take a deep breath.

valentine's day is next weekend and i am positive i'm the only person at my school with no date or any plans on the 14th. usually that wouldn't be a problem for me, but when i hear about all the wonderful dates my friends have planned i feel almost like i'm missing out. it's fine though. whatever...

i take one more silent breath, push myself off the locker, and go wait for my best friend at her locker. when i walk over i notice she isn't here. i pull out my phone to text her when i hear giggling to my right. i look over to see a couple girls whispering with flirty grins covering their faces. i turn my head in the direction they're looking and see him. louis partridge.

i'm not one to keep secrets, but one thing no one knows is how completely head over heels i am for that boy. his wit and cleverness. his charm and bright demeanor. not to mention his perfect hair and charming smile. he's not like the others. he's calm and quiet, yet always knows the perfect thing to say. he doesn't use his looks to his advantage, and he takes time to get to know the people he's interested in, instead of just using them.

he's perfect.

he is surrounded by the usual flock of girls that beg for him to notice them and a couple of his friends. he glances over in my direction. i feel my cheeks go red. is he looking at me? yes.. yeah he definitely is. ok. ok. stay calm. he's just looking. nope, he's also walking over to me. if you held a tomato up to my face, i bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

he brushes off the other girls and tells his friends to give him a minute before parking his feet in front of me. i look behind me to make sure i'm the one he's intending to talk to. no one is behind me. i look back.

"hey!" he says, a bit nervously.

"uhm. hi." i said awkwardly. i've only said one word and i already feel embarrassed.

"you're y/n, we have history and english together right? he says looking flustered. i've never seen him like this. if i'm going to be honest, it's a bit flattering.

"yes, we do. what's up?"

"well- erm. i was actually wondering.. if maybe you..uh." he says scratching the back of his neck.

"yeah..?" i interjected, feeling a bit flustered myself just based off the mere fact he knows my name.

"ok" he says quietly. "i was just wondering if you had a valentine. or any plans on valentine's day for that matter?"

oh. my. fucking. god.
i know he's not about to ask me what i think he is.

"uh no i don't. might i ask why?" i reply, grinning.

"oh yeah right. because i wanted to know if you
would be my valentine and if we could do something on valentine's day.?" he said with a slight shake in his voice.

this can't be real. there's no way out of all the beautiful girls at this school that would without a doubt drop at his feet, he's asking me?? (a/n dw you're beautiful too, obvi) this has to be a prank right? yeah totally.

"you're joking right, cause if you are that was real funny." i said slightly rolling my eyes.

"what?! no, not at all." he says frantically.

"you sure? this isn't even a dare?" i said looking over his shoulder searching for any laughing boys.

"if you don't want to go out with me, i completely understand" he says looking down a bit.

wait- what?!?

"no! i mean yes! i do want to go out with you, it's just not many people ask me out that's all." i said.

"well that's crazy i mean look at you." he puts a hand up in my direction.

i'm convinced that if i look down i will see jell-o instead of legs. i feel like a could melt.

"hah... thanks." i grin.

"ok.. so can i get your number then?" he asks politely.

"yeah sure!" he pulls out his phone and i type my number in.

"great! i'll text you and we can set something up" he says.

"sound perfect. uhm.. see you tomorrow?" i say shyly.

"mhm" he smiles and turns away.

his friends come around the corner and slap him on the back and pull him in for bro hugs. "SHE SAID YES!" he shouts.

i feel like i'm floating as i walk out the school doors. seriously...

...pinch me
