Being Told You're Beautiful

OH MY LLAMA.

They calmed down. Eventually.

And so now we were settled watching 'Rio'. Yes it was like, 1am.

Yes, an animated film. I had never seen it, so Amy had kindly brought it to 'pop my Rio virginity'. It was a kids film though.. But quite funny. I mean. A talking parrot. That, in itself, is awesome.

And of course, with Ben and Jerry's. Cookie dough pour moi.

It was as we had the film on in the background, with Lily bitching about people from school that I realised I'd never replied to Niall.

'It was AMAZING :D!' There. Simples.

Taking a deep breath, I clicked the send button. Amy noticed an gave me an approving nod, having slyly and silently peered over my shoulder.

I locked my phone, tuning back in to Lily's whining. I actually agreed with her for a few things, but I didn't want to interrupt her rant. Then it would only go on twice as long.

However, not a minute later, my phone lit up. A reply.

'I thought you'd never reply haha! I'm glad :) and what's your name?'

Breathe. Breathe. My fingers flew across the keyboard.

'Hane Farlow... I would ask you back but I think that's a bit silly ;)?'

I zoned back in to find both Lily and Amy facing me, a questioning look on their faces. "OH LOOK! A flying llama just murdered a radio aerial outside guys!" I whisper yelled, in the hope of distracting them. No such luck.

What were they talking about again?

Strawberries?

Cheese?

Cotton buds?

Deodorant..

Ooooh wait. Thats the shopping list. Oopsies.

"Hane, you had no clue what I just said there did you?" Lily sighed exaperatedly,

"Hmm?" My phone had lit up again. Another reply.

'Such a pretty name! And yeeeah haha.. Wuu2?'

I reached for my drink as I pondered how to respond. 'Sarcastic humiliation of his use of 'text speak'? Or leave it? Or say thank-' I was pulled from my list of options by Lily.

"I said.. Do you like Matt?"

Not gonna lie, I almost died. Of choking. On my water. Because I was laughing at Lily's question.

It took several minutes for me to return to a normal skin tone from the red stain of embarrassment, be able to talk again and answer her.

"We're just good friends! Honestly, since we were born. Nothing more. I could trust him. I do trust him. Nothing more okay?! NOTHING."

"Sorry.. I was just wondering" I gave Lily a weak smile in return to show her I forgave her and started to reply to this DM, which was now a very late reply.

'I'm so sorry, I was busy choking on water. So I am now recovering. And thank you! What's happening where you are :)?'

An instant reply.

'I hope ur ok! Why were you choking? And not much, me and the boys are chillin'

OH MY LLAMA I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH NIALL HORAN.

ME. CONVERSING. NIALL.

AAFIWUSHSKAOSIDBZNDHS.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY DANCE.

Just sayin' likes.

I replied.

'my friend asked me a question that i found ludicrous, therefore began to swallow and breathe at the same time. It didn't work :('

BOOM. Another reply. This guy wa a fast typer.

'Aaw haha, what was the question?'

I was rather proud of my reply.

'What is this.. 20 questions ;)?'

The aubergines were proud too.

What did surprise me was his reply.

'We could play that if you like?'

I agreed to it. Let the Games begin.

Ugh. I have English first period tomorrow. Ugh ugh ugh. Persuasive essays. And the first draft has to pass. And we don't get a grade back. Just feedback. Then one redraft. Thats it. FREAK. ING. OUT. :(!

I'm so sorry for the long wait, you have no idea how stressed I am. Well, kanana does. Basically, I have a show this week, and I've had a ten hour rehearsal today. Plus I've started the hardest year in the whole Scottish education system, and THEN somehow I managed to delete this chapter off my iPod so I had to find time to write this all again. From memory. Which, unless it's a song harmony or lyric, isn't very good. So yeah. Enough excuses. I APOLOGISE.

Buuuuuut.......

But seriously, comments are the best. Then it should only be until Saturday/ Sunday til you get the next upload... I'm so so sorry for the long time! But school and show must take priority.
