My sun within the darkness (a liam payne fan fiction)

"Give it back!" I complained as she held the book above her head. She was taller than me so now matter how hard I tried I couldn't reach.

"Oh look at the little nerd...she can't reach her book! I wonder what will happen if we do this!" She took the book and ripped out a few pages.

"Stop! That isn't mine!" I screamed as she continued to trash the book.

"As if I care!" She screamed in her annoying naisily voice. Then she threw the book at me. The bell rang for class to start and when I went to pick up the book she stepped on my hand

"Oops!" She said innocently and laughed as she walked of with her minions. I cradled my hand as tears streamed down my cheeks.

This is a typical day for me...Emma stewart! Lets just say that at school I'm bullied for being a 'nerd' and 'ugly' and a 'loner' truth is if you really got to know me...I'm not so bad...but I guess that's a biased opinion.

I finished picking up the remains of my book...this is the second time this week it's happened. I grabbed my bag and headed to the library...not caring that I was missing biology...I could skip it almost everyday and still pass and it's not like anyone would know I was gone anyways.

"Hi Mrs. Malcolm!" I said trying to keep my voice cheery

"Oh no Em...what happened this time?" She asked. I held up the book with it remains and frowned.

"Sorry it happened again!"

"Mallory again?" She asked.

"Yep! And it's not like I can do anything...her dad is the principal." I slumped down into the chair next to her desk.

"Yeah I know...she's such a spoiled brat!" She said under her breath...yeah, mrs. Malcolm is a cool teacher!

"You ditching biology again?" She asked dissapointed

"Yep! If I'm not ditching I'm sleeping...it's an easy class!" I shrugged.

"Well you can hang out here until your next class...actually you can help me fix up this book!"

We successfully fixed up the book after a whole roll of tape and some struggling and then I had to head off to algebra...another easy class.

We started class off and about 5 minutes in someone stumbled into the classroom with a crumpled paper in his hands. He was handsome...tall, buzz cut hair, and he had gorgeous brown eyes.

"May I help you?" The teacher said

"Umm yes, is this Mrs. Wesley's class?" He asked in a sweet British accent.

"Yes, I take it you are my new student? What is your name?"

"Liam...Liam Payne...I just moved here from the UK." He said

"It looks like the only open seat is...right there next to miss...miss..."

"Stewart." I said quietly

"Ah yes...miss Stewart." See even the teacher can't remember my name.

He nodded and walked over to sit in the empty desk next to me. I let my long straight red hair fall in a curtain so I could try and cover my face.

"Hi, I'm Liam!" He said confidently

"E-emma." I stammered.

"It's nice to meet you!" He said with a genuine smile. I blushed...was he really being nice to me?

The teacher started class and I zoned out because it was just a review day. I found myself thinking of Liam most of the time and as he was in a trance trying to catch up on the lesson I took a chance to look at him every once and awhile...noticing different things each time. The bell rang signaling the end I the day. I stood up and straightened out my oversized sweatshirt and glasses and left the classroom pulling out my iPod for the long walk home.

I received shoves and pushes through the hallway but eventually made it out of the dreaded place they call school.

I jammed out to Ed Sheeran until I got home...thankfully no one was there and I could have some alone time...it's been a long day!
