Prank Calls~ Ziall Horlik

monday - [8:02]  

"i think he might like you."

"louis that's ridiculous!"

niall shook his head and continued scrolling through his phone. louis always jumped into conclusions while having no evidence. that is not how it works. josh, on the other hand, told niall to be careful and ignore louis. guys tend to hide their feelings. of course, they would know, since they are as well.

"i don't even know what he looks like." he groaned. "his voice is extremely sexy, though. besides, i don't need to know how he looks to feel attracted to him, right?"

"right."

"okay. great." niall let out a sigh. when he heard the bell ring, he quickly got his stuff and walked with louis to his first class. he sent zayn a quick hello text and locked his phone, biting his lip anxiously. "now he won't answer."

"why do you say?"

"because when you notice you like someone and you start getting your hopes up suddenly the world decides hey let's destroy this guy's dreams and they stop talking to you or something."

"law of murphy, mate. that's the one." louis shakes his with a smile. he then frowns when he notices his friend frowning. "no, no, no. no frowning, nialler! c'mon, smile. you know he likes you back."

"how am i supposed to know?! he doesn't even want to meet me yet."

"yet."

monday - [3:12 PM]  

niall thought about it for a while. he looked up at louis and josh, who were sitting on the swings with him. they were at the park, trying to make niall finally make a move. the thing is, zayn might get upset if he does this and then their friendship will end and niall would be alone and heartbroken because his crush doesn't like him back and fuck.

crushes suck balls.

"just do it, mate!" josh finally yelled. "you used to prank call him everyday! just call him and start the conversation with a prank call like you used to do. he'll laugh, i bet."

"or hate you because your jokes suck." niall looked up at louis and glared at him. louis chuckled and fist bumped josh. niall was just a sixteen year old teenager that was learning how to live, how to act when being in a relationship, and even worse, how to act when crushing someone.

niall had never fancied anyone in his life. maybe a kid or two when he was like eight or ten but those honestly don't count. he didn't have a brain back then and honestly he thinks he doesn't have one right now either because he ends up pressing the call button.

after three beeps, he finally answers: "hello?"

"i- um- what does geometry order in mcdonalds?"

"umm... i don't know?"

"a plane cheeseburger."

louis and josh face palmed and shook their heads. niall turned away from them to feel less embarrassed. he closed his eyes and bit his lip, waiting for zayn's answer. he suddenly heard a small chuckle from the other line, letting himself let out a shaky breath.

"i thought we were going to stop this prank calling?"

"yeah... sorry. i just really wanted to call you and didn't know how to start the conversation? i'm lame. i know. sorry you have to know that now."

"i already knew you were lame, sugar."

niall pushes his phone away for just a second and squeals, turning to his friends and mouthing "he called me sugar". at the same time, zayn had just said he was lame but niall felt like he was flying over the clouds and yeah, he really liked zayn.

"rude."

"yeah, well. you're rude because i was about ot start drawing and you disrupted me so. guess we're even, huh?"

"i'm so sorry! i didn't know you were busy! gosh, i'm such an idiot." niall slapped his forehead. "i'll leave you now! t-text later? i mean, if you want to, that is! wait no- i'll text you- no! you text me! gosh i'm so embarrassing aren't i?"

zayn just chuckled and let out a short wistle. "adios, solecito."

goodbye sunshine niall is shaking. he turns to look at his friends and lets out a loud squeal that lets them know everything turned out alright. louis told him "i told you so" which only earned him a slap but oh well, he deserved it.

niall had never felt happier than he does right now.
