Liam

"Ms.Smith, what are you doing here," I asked, crossing my arms as she smiled. "I'm just here, visiting my favorite teacher and wanting that study time with you." I continue to look at her with squinty eyes.

"I just broke off my relationship with my now ex-wife, I'd like to be alone, Ms.Smith." she smirks. "call me Sophia.. maybe I could help you with something, Mr.Payne." I shake my head slowly as he steps closer.

"I'm good, Ms.Smith, now please leave." I close the door and lock it with a sigh, hearing her groan on the other side, making me smirk. "you don't appeal to me." I say loud enough for her before I hear a gasp, making me chuckle.

"you shouldn't be chuckling because I know all about your background and so does everyone else. we have really smart kids in our school and they help anyone. so when we found out that we had a new teacher, we just had to figure out some things about you." I clench my jaw.

"I honestly don't care. I'm changing and that's all that matters, yeah?" I hear her sigh. "what about niall? I know you gave him those sexy eyes.. didn't think that you liked guys." my eyes grow a bit wide. "I-I don't like him, Ms.Smith.." she laughs softly now.

"don't act dumb with me, Liam. yes, I know your name.. but I know that you at least have some sort of attraction towards niall. he is cute though, and gay-" my heart thumps from her last words. "he's gay?" I ask quickly. "yes, you idiot. god you're so clueless. he obviously likes you back, or just likes you back. I don't know what you'll do to him." I scoff.

"I'm not going to toy with him.." she scoffs in reply. "that's funny. what about those past women?" I shake my head. "they deserved it.. we had troubled pasts.. I just don't talk about the past." I hear her sigh again as I cross my arms.

"let me guess.. they bullied you, but later on, you turned out to be hot as hell, so, they started liking you.. so you decided that you'd toy with them for money?" I gulp as I blink my eyes repeatedly. "th-that's correct.." I say, hearing Sophia gasp. "okay I promise you, I didn't know that.. I'm so sorry, Mr.Payne.." I clench my jaw again.

"whatever.. can you please just go, Ms.Smith. I'll see you tomorrow at school..-"

"just one more thing.." sighing, I nod to myself. "what is it," I ask. "you said that you were with older women.. so how could they have bullied women? from the file.." I look at the door. "I lie, okay? I just want to seem more devious than I actually am.. I was never cool until now. I'm rich and can get anyone.." I feel as if she's smirking now.

"like niall?" I begin to frown. "stop reading my mind.." I said, annoyed. "sorry.. but I'll be going now.. don't hurt niall and I'm sorry for being annoying.. I need to pick on some guy my own size. see ya at school." I then hear footsteps that walk away, becoming distant by the time I start to tear up.

I wipe my eyes before I start to cry as I head up to my room, remembering those years where I was hurt, both emotionally and mentally, and I couldn't take it. I was so helpless and unneeded and I still feel like that. I just want someone who can make me happy again, someone who can take care of me with love and support.

I really want to change who I am, but its going to be hard and I want people to know that. when you change, it's usual a good thing, so I don't want to become something worse than I am right now. someone that I know must help me in some way, I need niall by my side because deep down, I do have feelings for him, already.

I can't help it but, this feels like some kind of old love story where its love at first sight, or craving. no, it can't be craving can it? niall can't possibly be my next craving that I'll eventually hurt, I couldn't do that to him, I really couldn't.
