Liam's POV

~one week later~

"And Niall, you're paired up with Liam." Mrs. Daniels said, immediately catching my interest.

I heard Niall let out a small sigh before the whole class got up to move around and find their partners.

I gestured for Niall to come over to the empty seat next to me and he quickly scurried over.

He placed his book and laptop down on the table before sliding into the seat and getting to work.

I watched him for awhile, writing in his notebook, focusing on his notes and scribbling with his pencil.

He bit his lip in concentration and his cute cheeks blushed red when he noticed I was staring.

He looked at me sideways and then looked back at his paper, only to look back a second later to find me still staring at him.

"Are you going to help at all?" He asked quietly.

I blinked out of my daze and chuckled. "Nah, I think I'll just let you do all the work."

"Well then have fun getting an F." he scoffed.

"I'm kidding, princess. What chapter are we working on again?"

"Well you would know if you were helping me," He said sassily. "And stop calling me that."

I raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "No can do, princess." I smirked, leaning in closer to him.

He pushed my chest lightly and blushed. "Get to work, Payne."

"You're so cute when you blush." I grinned. I would compliment him until the end of time.

"Do you have no shame, Liam?" He giggled.

I smiled brightly, happy to make it laugh. "Not when it comes to you, beautiful."

"Stop trying to flatter me, it's not working."

"But isn't it?" I asked, looking deep into his eyes.

We kept eye contact for a long time, his beautiful sky blue eyes staring into my chocolate ones.

I watched his eyes flicker down to my lips and then look back to mine when I smirked.

He cleared his throat before looking away again. "No."

I frowned slightly, about to speak but then suddenly the bell rang.

Niall quickly shut his book and piled his things in his arms, not even saying goodbye as he rushed out of the classroom.

I just stood watching him leave, only bending down to pick up his notes that he left behind in his hurry.

I'll crack him one day.

Niall's POV

I lay awake in bed reading with my glasses, because I don't like to wear them in school, so I wear contacts, and I really only need them for reading.

My mind went back to earlier today when Liam was flirting with me. He was so cute, and so charming, but I can't help but be a little wary of his intentions.
