Geek Charming (Niall Horan fanfiction)

Pep rally and humiliation

Part 8 - Niall

Tuesday

The bell rang signalling the end of our lesson, I put my English book in my bag as I stood up walking over to Kate

"Are we going to canteen?" I asked as she put her stuff in her bag

"I sort of wanted to go and watch the pep rally I know you won't want to but I want to see what they're all about" she seemed guilt about asking or saying she wanted to go

"Well let's go then, when does it start?" I asked her as I watched her face fill with a grin

"Are you being serious Niall?"

"Yeah why not I guess it will be fun" I returned her smile as we made our way towards the field where the pep was, I know Kate was just looking out for me knowing that Rae would be there and I was trying my hardest to ignore her but she was persistent I had two messages from her one about my phone and one just asking me to talk to her. I couldn't bring myself to do it, I know she deserves to know who I am but what use would it be to her she wouldn't care anyway.

Kate and I took our seats on the bleachers around the middle as they were towered we had a decent view. My eyes wandered around spotting Rae standing in her uniform, she looked gorgeous, her cheer uniform made her legs look longer than they were, her hair was tied in a high pony with a green ribbon tied around it, I watched as a smile appeared on her face noticing Liam and Louis walking towards her, from being the distance I was I couldn't hear or lip read what they were saying, they each gave her a hug and then Louis kissed her cheek leaving his lips there for a little too long for my liking, I watched as he whispered something in her ear rubbing his thumb over her hip she nodded her head at him as he kissed her cheek again. I felt a fire appear in the pit of my stomach, it should be me wishing her luck for her cheers, it should be me kissing her cheek and it should be me having my hands on her waist. No one else.

'Yeah well it's not going to be you if you don't tell her is it now' my subconscious reminded me I hated this feeling of jealous I had, she wasn't even mine and all I wanted was that.

The music of the marching band started are all the girls came on waving their pom poms in the air doing cart wheels and hand stands. Through their routine I started of thinking about ways I could tell Rae who I really was, I had to do it and I will right after this pep rally

The girls paused their routine as the coach came on talking about how well the team have trained this year and started talking about their game and how it was so important everyone started chanting

"North valley high"

"The cheer leaders have put to something together to enhance the spirit" the coach walked off stage as Vanessa took the mic leaving Rae highly confused along with her best friend Tilly.

"Once upon a time there was a fighting frog cheerleader who had an extremely hot boyfriend and a dad who owned the biggest pond on the land but she still wasn't happy" one of the cheer girls came out pretending to be a frog. Other cheer leaders held up signs saying aw which the audience repeated

"If only she could find a prince that would kiss her and make her into a princess and they would run away together" I watched as Vanessa made eye contact with Rae whilst she was reading sending her a smirk knowing what she was about to reveal.

"One night after the slimy frog ditches her super hot popular footballer boyfriend she meets her prince" her eyes moved to James so he knew exactly who she was talking about, everyone was slightly confused, but then one of the cheer girls came dressed in a suit

"At last it turns out that our frog not only had a secret identity but also had a secret email relationship with a pen pal named lakersfan21" the realisation hit me like a ton of bricks, Vanessa had seen the emails when she round my house on Friday and now she was about to inform the whole school on what had been happening for the past few months now

"This is not good" Kate said looking at me full of guilt and sorrow

"Dear lakersfan21 I can't wait till we finally get to meet your the only one who understands the real me, the girl who doesn't want to cheer but wants to be a Princeton with you" the person who was acting as Rae read, I looked down to where Rae was sitting as she started to sink down in her chair clearly realising what was going on as well

"Dear cheerlove14 I want you to know who I am but I'm scared, I'm scared you'll hate me...and I've never had a real kiss before" and now for the person who was acting to be me, embarrassment ran through me as Vanessa made sure they informed the whole year that I had never kissed a girl properly before

"I can't believe their reading my emails" my voice cracked as I tried to compose myself

"Come Niall lets go" Kate said pushing my arm but somehow I couldn't bring myself to move somehow I suppose I should see how this ends. Vanessa opened her mouth to carry on this was never going to end well

"But the prince had a secret too he wasn't royalty at all but a geek, a loser and servant boy"

"And who may you ask is this imposter the pretend prince the dining boy Niall Horan" Everyone around me gasped as I looked down at Rae feeling my eyes fill with tears, she turned her around staring at me in shock and disbelief, from what I could see and hear the footballers were laughing, James also spun round staring at me with pure rage, most probably because this was all happening whilst him and Rae were together, my eyes went back to Rae who was still staring but as our eyes locked again she turned round, my heart was beating fast and tears began rolling down my cheeks, not once have I ever felt so heart broken, this was the reason I didn't tell her, she rejected me and to top it off I was humiliated in front of everyone

"Diner boy diner boy diner boy" everyone started chanting as I felt Kate push my back leading my out from the ground. We squeezed through the gaps still hearing the laughs and chants of the school, the tears were rolling quicker down my cheeks now as we approached Kate's car

"I'm so sorry Niall" Kate said as we climbed in

"Don't kate, just take me home please" she nodded her head staying quiet for the rest of the journey knowing I wasn't in the mood to talk or either could I talk, my mouth was dry and my throat felt swollen as all that could be made out were the sobs that were locked in my throat.

The car came to a halt as I looked out the window seeing we were at my house, I picked up my bag which was by my feet, I opened the door climbing out as I gave Kate a slight wave which she returned still not talking which I was thankful about, I couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone right now.

As quick as I could I ran up stairs to my room hoping to avoid my mum or dad, if my ever sees me crying she always presumes the worse but right now what could be worse that being rejected by the girl I felt like I loved. Of course I've never been in love before I mean I've never even kissed a girl before let alone had a girlfriend to fall in love with, but with Rae she made it seem natural that just the thought of her could bring the brightest smile to my face, I'd do anything for her to make her smile like I know she can and should.

As I got into my room I threw my bag on to the floor and laid on my bed allowing all my pity and embarrassment to be shown through the tears that were being soaked up by my pillows.
