Liam's POV

I wandered out of my house and to the corner to meet Niall, he was stood with his usual charming look on his face ready for me to engulf him in a tight hug. His grin got bigger as he spotted me and we jumped into each others arms, I snuggled into his shoulder and smiled at my boyfriend? 's embrace. I loved being in his arms, it was the best feeling. We let go of each other and our fingers locked together perfectly, we began our stroll down to school and engaged in small talk. As we drew closer I stopped and Niall turned to me,

"Are you okay boo? What happened." I smiled sweetly at his nickname, he always knew how to make me smile.

"Nothings wrong, I just want to know something." His crystal blue eyes stared deeply into mine as he nodded,

"Go on..." I cleared my throat before continuing,

"What are we?" I asked, pointing back and forth between me and him. He raised an eyebrow and slid his arms around my waist,

"What do you mean, what are we?" I leant forward and kissed him sweetly,

"Us, are we a couple or?..." He dipped down and kissed me once again.

"Of course we are." I smirked and pulled away,

"Well we're not." His eyes widened and I knew he was panicked,

"Wh-what why?" I giggled,

"You haven't asked me to be your boyfriend." He sighed and relaxed,

"I don't need to, you know I love you." I shook my head and turned away, pouting slightly. He tried to hold my hand and hug me but I stayed turned away until he finally gave in,

"Fine!" He said taking my hands.

"Liam James Payne, I love you more than anything in this world. All of these silly things that happened between us don't matter anymore, as long as we're together I'm happy. So, will you be my boyfriend?" I smiled wider than ever and nodded my head,

"Of course I will you doof." I giggled and we smashed our lips together, sharing a short but passionate kiss. We pulled apart and began walking again, it felt good knowing that we were officially an item, we could now be labelled as a couple. Well at least that's what I thought.

 

We approached the corner of the school and Niall let my hand slip, I frowned and stared at him confused. He blanked me and continued walking, I leant out to grab his hand again but he snatched it away and ran it through my hair.

"Why won't you hold my hand?" I asked, cringing slightly at how it sounded.

"I just don't think people in school should know we are a couple you know? You've been through enough shit here, I just want things to be okay for you." I fake smiled at him and nodded, pretending that I was fine with it. However I wasn't, I was hurt. It made me feel broken inside, my own boyfriend didn't want to be seen with me as a couple in school. I followed him up to the gates where we were greeted by Harry and Louis, all loved up and smiling away at each other. I felt jealousy fly through me, all I wanted was for me and Niall to be like that. However that didn't seem to be the case, Niall was too scared to ruin his petty reputation. It sucked. I followed them into the school, tagging along like a spare wheel. Harry and Louis were joined by their hands, giggling away at each other. Zayn and Niall were deep in conversation about something which I couldn't quite here, me however, I was behind them all with my head down. What a great way to start a new school term.

The bell rang for form and I sped off, mumbling a bye that was so slight not even a room of silence could hear it. I kept my head down and entered quickly, brushing past the people crowded around the table and taking my seat in the back corner of the classroom. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and smiled at the picture of me and Niall, however my smile soon faded when I realised what he had done. I clicked away from it and began scrolling down my twitter, nothing interesting was ever happening on here but it distracted me from form. I was soon disturbed by a person taking a seat next to me, why did this keep happening? I looked up to see a dirty blonde haired boy smiling at me.

"Hey!" He chirped, I smiled back at him.

"Hey." He placed his bag under the table and shuffled in,

"I'm Craig, and you are?"

"Liam." I said, shaking hands with him. We continued talking, I learnt he had just moved from Bristol and was into pop rock music. He was born on the sixteenth of April and had an older brother. Our conversation came to a halt when the teacher began taking the register, we called out to let him now we were here and I helped Craig fill in his timetable. It turned out we were in quite a few lessons together which was great, having a new friend on the first day was surprising. We packed our things up and headed for our first lesson, biology. I hated science, it really bored me, but having somebody to sit with might actually improve the lesson. We entered and said a quick hello to Miss Cane before taking a seat at one of the desks. Craig plonked himself down next to me and got a pen out, we began talking about some of our favourite music artists when I spotted the rest of the gang entering. Once again Niall and Zayn were in deep conversation however Niall was soon drawn out of it when he spotted me, he marched up to the table with Zayn and smiled.

"Who's this?" He asked, nodding towards Craig.

"Craig, my friend." I smirked, I knew Niall didn't like the fact I was sitting with another guy but I didn't want to sit alone and watch him chat to Zayn all lesson. He turned away and took a seat at the desk in front of mine, Zayn slotted in next to him and 'Larry' took a seat at the desk next to us. Miss Cane began rambling on about something to do with animals and I glanced over at Craig, he had one hand pressed to his head and the other typing away angrily at his phone. He sighed and slammed his phone on the desk,

"Are you okay?" I whispered, trying not to get noticed by the teacher.

"My brother, he was supposed to take me out for food but bailed on me." I pulled a sad face and placed a hand on his shoulder,

"Hey, why don't you come round to mine for tea? My mum will be fine with it, she loves company." His face began glowing and a smile spread across his face,

"Yeah that will be great, thank you! I'll just text my brother now." I nodded and he began typing away on his phone, I discretely pulled my phone out of my pocket and opened up a text to send to my mum.

To > Mum

From > Niall

I've got a friend coming round for tea tonight, cook something nice :) love you x

I hit send and put my phone away, Craig slid his into his shirt pocket and grinned.

"My brother said it's fine." I smiled back at him,

"I guess it's a plan then!"

bit of a filler, just needed to introduce Craig into the story:)

so a few questions;

1) ZIAM OR NIAM?

2) Any thoughts on this 'Craig' character?

3) Any thoughts on Niall's mystery stalker?

4) SHOULD I CREATE A TWITTER&INSTAGRAM FOR MY FANFICS? INCLUDING THIS AND UNPREDICTABLE?
