Niam.... only a dream?

Typical Love Story

Niall's POV

You know those cliche stories where the two kids are best friends then eventually one falls for the other shortly followed by the other falling for their friend then they date and whatnot?

Well thats what happened with Taytum and I.

We had known each other in primary school although we weren't immediate best friends we got to that point fairly quickly. We had been in the same daycare service before school had started but that was when we thought the other sex had cooties so we didn't talk at all or play together. Once we got over that phase and got stuck as partners on a project that all changed.

*flash back*

"Niall Horan your partnered up with Taydem Maroon. Alli-"

I ignored the rest of the names the teacher said and looked over to the little black haired nine year old that sat at the middle-front of the room with her head tucked down in a book and her big square nerd glasses that were placed on her face that kept slipping down her nose. She hadn't even heard the teacher call her name; she probably didn't even know I was her partner.

"Get with your partners and get started on the project!"

My head snapped up to Ms. Davis when her voice got through my thoughts.

I climbed out of my desk and made my way over to Taydem. She still had her nose in the book; her dark hair falling out of it's poorly made pigtail ontop her head. Her back was hunched over with her eyes skimming the page quickly.

"Hello...?" I sat down running my hand through my, at that time, brown hair. I sat down in the desk beside her. I pulled my desk over to hers and waited for her to notice me. When she didn't I tapped her shoulder gently, "Hey."

Taydem jumped; her book clattering to the floor. She looked over at me and frowned, "What are you doing? You can't just interupt someone when they are reading! You just don't do that!"

I frowned and looked at her hazel eyes, "We have to work on the project..."

"What project?" her face scrunched up in confusion.

"We have to make a structure that would have helped Laura in the story not be eaten by the bears..." I looked at her and noticed that she was still confused. "Here read the paper."

She glanced at the paper and nodded in understanding, "Lets get started then."

*end of flash back*

I was currently walking down the brick road heading toward Taytum's home even though I don't know if she still lived there or not; I was going to find out. Like I found out two years into the friendship.

*flash back*

"Niall!"

I looked up from the ground where I just crashed my bike. A wave of dark hair was flying toward me; the voice clicked when I saw her face.

"Taytum?" I frowned and took the hand she offered; standing up and brushing off my pants. "What are you doing here?"

She giggled and moved a piece of hair behind her ear, "I live over there, silly. What are you doing here?"

My gaze followed to the little brick house she pointed to at the end of the street, "Oh... I'm just riding my bike back to my house. It's about a fifteen minute walk or so from here but obviously shorter by bike. That is unless you crash.."

I grinned at her as she giggled softly and crossed her arms nervously across her chest, "You're silly Ni."
