Niall walked out of his moms old grey Subaru, anxious if he was passing well enough for people to think he was born a boy. Making his way through the halls of the high school, navigating through the seas of high schoolers. He stopped at his locker to find his best friend at her locker, only a few down from him. Niall shoved his things into his locker and ran to class, pretending he never saw her. He sat down in his seat and forget that she was in the same first period as him, damn you Maggie Castro.
Maggie Castro you're so perfect with your short blue hair and nose piercing and the way your freckles are perfectly and un evenly spaced out around your nose and cheeks and how they trailed up her forehead but then suddenly stopped. Niall had the biggest crush on her since 4th grade, even before the crazy freshmen crisis where she needed something to stand out so she snuck out with him and some money to get her nose pierced and hair dyed. He sat down next to her, feeling comforted while he took out his English notebook and quirky colored pens and the current English book of the month, Romeo and Juliet.
After class Niall finally mustered up the courage to ask Maggie if she wanted to hang out tonight, or in his eyes, a date. "Hey Maggie! Wanna hang out tonight?" Niall said being careful not to stutter.
"Sure, wanna sort out the details over text?" Maggie suggested while collecting her books, "that sounds good" Niall replied.
