Just a Crush

Chapter 10

Sorry it has been a long time since I have updated!

Tommorow is the halloween dance. I had goten a dress on thursday. And guess what. NO ONE HAS ASKED ME!!! i was looking forwards to it. Alot. All the girls have dates. I am so sad. Harry has no one either. Niall probually has someone. I mean, look at him. He is perfect. His eyes, fluffy hair, sense of humor, everything about him just makes me melt. We have become really tight. We text until 2 o'clock every night. Aren't we living the thug life? Hopefully he does not notice when i get lost in his eyes. Ahh.

I start walking down the hallway to lunch. I am STARVING! I walk in to see I am the first of out little group to show up. I walk over and get my lunch. Mmm, hot dogs. I end up getting three hotdogs, 4 servings of frenchfries and 2 cokes. And LOTS of ketchup. I walk to our table and i am still the first one here. Ugh, they are so slow! I sit down and start shoving food in my face. I feel a light tap on my sholder and turn to see Niall looking perfect. I start to blush and wipe my mouth that had about an inch of ketchup on it.

"Umm, E-em, C-can I sit?" he asked. Thats weird, he never stutters. I just brushed it off.

"Yea, of course!" I said cheerfuly. I pat the stool next to me. He sat down. He shifted unconfortably in his seat. I put my hands on his sholders, looking in his eyes. "Chill. I dont bite." I said slowly. He blushed and looked down at his hands. I grabbed them. Wow, were they sweaty. A jolt of electrisity shot up my arm. "Is everything ok?" I said looking at him worridly. He nodded and looked everywhere but me. I curresed his check and held it straight so he was forsed to look into my eyes. They looked frighteded. I let him go and looked at him. "Did I do something wrong?" His eyes shot up and shook his head violently.

"No no no no no, You did nothing wrong, I'm just really nervous." He said. I looked at him.

"What are you nervous about?" I asked curiously. He took a deep breath.

"Well, I, um, really like this, um, girl and wanted to ask her to the dance but, um, do not know how to, so wanted some evice." My heart sank. He liked someone else,

"What can I help you with?" I said sadly. He sighed.

"Well, what if you really like a girl that does not know he likes her and you are really good friends and, well, do you tell her and ask her to the dance? What if she does not act like she likes you back? What would you do?" He asked, looking deep into my eyes. I mentIally sighed.

"Well, first of all, I'm not lesbian, secondly, If you two are really good friends than you should tell her. And if that ruins the friendship than it was not a good one to start with." I answered. He smilled and hugged me tight.

"Thank you." He whispered in my ear before skipping away in the direction of his dorm. I felt a sword stab through my heart. He liked someone else? Wait, why am i serpriesed? Why would he like me? There were so many other girls here 110% prettier than me, why would he pick me? I sighed. I did not feel hungry anymore. I just sat picking at my food. The cafiteria was now starting to fill with students, but still none of my friends. Harry and Louis were probualy still asleep. Then I heard the door open and loud footsteps. I turned to see Niall with a boquet of roses. I was suddently envious for the girl about to recive the flowers. He started to set off in my direction. I smiled weakly at him.

"Good luck Romio." I said to him as he walked up to me. He had the biggest smile on his face. He came up to me, then went down on one knee.

"Will you, Emily Sanders, be my date to the dance?" He asked, a huge grin on his face. I covered my mouth with my hands before takleing him with a bear hug.

"That was the most romantic thing anyone has done for me." I whispered in his ear. He put me at arms lenth.

"So thats a yes?" He asked with a cheeky grin.

"Yes Niall, I would love to be your date." I said, my cheeks hurting for smiling so much. He grinned. "So am I that great friend you like?" I asked with a cheeky grin. He smile grew bigger, if all possible. He nodded his head. I engolfed him in another hug. "Thank you" I whispered in his ear.

*After classes ended*

"PERRIE!" I shouted excitedly, rushing into our dorm.

"Yea love?" She answered from her bed, looking at her phone. I took a deep breath.

"NIALL FRECKEN HORAN ASKED ME TO BE HIS DATE TO THE DANCE!!" I squealed. Perrie thew her phone across the room.

"NO WAY?" She shouted. We jumped up and down squealing. "TELL ME THE DETS!" She shouted. We sat on her bed, me telling her what happened. She just had this goofy smile smeared on her face. "If this is how he asks you to a dance, imagine what he will do when he asks you to be his girlfriend!" She said excitedly. I blushed and looked at my hands. "Well what are we doing here when we could be buying you a dress?" She said poking my ribs.

"And what is wrong with the one we bought before?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes.

"When we bought that dress we bought it for a average boy like Harry." I chuckled. "But this is 'NIALL FRECKEN HORAN'" she said, mocking my voice. I just chuckled as she dragged me out of our dorm. This was going to be exciting.
