The Two Lovebirds

My name is Tiana Jackson, and I live in London. I have friends of all sorts and my family is solid. I go to King George High School, or KGHS for short, and I'm a senior. I'm 18 years old. I have a huge crush on Niall Horan. He's a senior and he's 18 also. His brother is my sisters friend, so I've known Niall since we were primary school status. Right now I'm at the homecoming game. Niall's the quarter back and put his jersey in his bag. Oh how I wish I could wear it. I'm just watching him while they do their pre-game practice.

"Stop staring you'll drool." My friend Rianne said smiling.

"Oh shut up." I said as my phone vibrated. I looked down and it was my ex boyfriend trying to get with me again. "Ugh." I said as I blocked him.

"What?" My other friend Haley asked.

"Wyatt keeps texting and calling!" I say irritated.

"Hey we should go to the locker room now, and get into our outfits for tonight." Haley said. We nodded and went to the locker room. We put on purple tank tops, shorty shorts, suspenders that hang, socks that go just below the knee, high tops, and we put our hair up in pony tails. After we got done the football players came on, and I swore I saw Niall stare me up and down. The game was awesome first half. Niall scored 3 touch downs. When halftime came the band decided to go first.

"Welcome to the field, the King George High School marching band, under direction of band director Wiley Abati, drum majorette Stefani Smirl, and drum major Austin Bevins. They will be performing Danger Zone, Animal, and Paint It Black." The announcer said. After they were done we went on.

"Welcome to the field the 2015 KGHS dancers. Senior and captain Tiana Jackson, Senior Rianne Tippie, Senior Haley Hensley, Junior Mariah Baily, Sophomore Katie Burns, and Freshman Tiffany Sullivan." After he said that we did our dance and rocked it. We did hip swings, two steps, and hair flips. After that we got off the field and the football players came on.

"Good job ladies!" Mariah said as we entered the locker room. We just smiled and got changed. I put on a bright red long sleeve shirt, dark denim miss me jeans, brown boots, and my Girard hoodie. I then braided my hair, and put on my cross and heart necklace.

"You look pretty!" Tiffany said smiling.

"Thank you! You too girl." I said then went back to the game. We were winning 49-3.

"Woo!" Rianne and I yelled. After the game we all ran out to the field to congratulate the players. I was talking to my friend Austin Lallamend, when I felt someone tug on my arm. "Hey Tiana." Niall said smiling. "Hi Niall." I said smiling back.

"My mom wants us to get a picture together." I looked over and Greg, Niall's brother, and his mom and dad, were smiling. I went over there and Niall put his arm around me, and I put mine around him.

"Smile kids!" His mom said. We smiled and she was like, perfect!

"Are you going to the dance?" Niall asked as we headed to his locker room.

"Yeah! Are you?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah!" He said smiling back. After we got to the locker room, I went to the dance and met my friends. As soon as the football players got their, the dance was moving. I was having fun, until a slow song came on. I sat in the corner with my friends. I looked around and Niall was doing the same. He suddenly looked up and our eyes met, so I looked away.

"Uh Rianne and I will be...right over that way." Haley said as they walked away. I looked confused, but then Niall stood in front of me.

"Excuse me, but it think I would like this dance." He said smiling. I smiled back I took his hand.
