Send me some requests!

High school AU

"Hey nerd!" Calum calls.

You turn around to face him with a massive smile on your face. You push your glasses further up your nose and clutch your books to your chest.

"Hi Calum." You say.

"You need a cool name for me." He says.

"I don't think being called a nerd classes as a cool name Cal." You say.

"But you're a nerd!" He argues.

"Michael's a nerd." You point out.

"Yeah and so are you." He says.

You roll your eyes but walk with him to lesson.

"So, are you still coming to get milkshakes after school?" He asks.

There's this amazing milkshake place near your school that you and Calum have been going to for years. He always gets a strawberry poptart shake and you get a {favourite milkshake flavour}.

"Of course, also, you owe me an ice cream too since I helped you with your science." You say slyly.

"That I do," He laughs, "What're you in last?"

"English." You say.

"Then I'll come and find you outside your classroom, nerd." He says before turning to his classroom.

True to his word, Calum meets you outside your English classroom and you walk together to the milkshake shop.

"Has anyone asked you to prom yet?" Calum asks.

"You know that you and the other three are my only friends. Besides, no one wants to go with the nerd." You say.

Calum frowns but perks up as he sees the shop.

You walk in and are both hit with the familiar scent of sweet treats. Calum gets your usual as you sit at your little table in the corner on a green couch seat.

Calum comes over after a moment with your drinks and sits with you, "I'll get you an ice cream later."

"You don't actually have to," you laugh, "I was just joking."

"Well I want to," He smiles, "Are you gonna go to prom?"

"Alone? Yeah, no thanks." You laugh.

"Y/N! It's prom! You can't miss out on that." Calum exclaims.

"Calum, no one wants me! I'm the nerd that wouldn't even wear a dress if I was asked okay? Just drop it." You sigh sadly.

"If someone asked you, that you knew really well, would you go?" He asks softly.

"Yes, Calum, I would but it's never gonna happen." You say.

"Y/N I want to go to prom with you. So badly." Calum says.

You almost drop your milkshake. Your heart pounds and your breathing becomes rapid. For a moment you get your hopes up before your selfconsciousness tears you back down again.

"If this is because you pity me Calum it is not cool." You say firmly.

"It's not, I swear! I want nothing more than to finish school, dancing at some cringey ball with my nerd." He says.

"You mean it?" You ask.

"Of course I mean it." He says, taking your hand in his.

"Then yes." You mumble.

"Really?" He asks in shock.

"Yes you loony." You laugh.

"That should be my nickname." He smirks.

"Shut up." You giggle.

Prom Night

Your parents stand there, crying. You floor length black dress covers the fact that you are indeed wearing converse with it but no-one cares. Your hair is done perfectly and your makeup is beautifully simple.

Calum just arrived and he looks amazing. His smart black tuxedo matches your dress perfectly but he seems completely blown away by your appearance.

Calum knows you as y/n. The quiet book lover who lives in black skinny jeans and band shirts. He knows the girl who's good at school and wears cute little glasses. You're the girl who doesn't wake up early to apply makeup or straighten your hair, you don't care if your shirt is a little creased and you don't mind if your socks are odd.

The girl stood in front of Calum is astonishingly different in the best way. Her cute little glasses are gone, he band shirt has been replaced by the tight black dress and her hair is immaculate, like her makeup. The way Calum can tell it's you is by your not-so-hidden signature converse and your nervous stance.

"Y/N," He's speechless, "Damn you look stunning!"

"Thankyou Cal," you smile, "You clean up nicely too."

He smiles but doesn't take his eyes off off you. Your mum pesters you for photos and you sigh as you get the cliche prom photos taken.

Your parents have known Calum for a long time and they secretly hoped he would be the man to take you to prom since they trust him with you and they think you'd make an amazing couple.

Michael, Luke and Ashton were picking you up for prom so you just had to wait for them now.

"I can't believe that your my nerd. You look so different." Calum says.

"Not bad, right?" You ask.

"No, you look fucking amazing," He says, "Glad to see that your hot all dressed up as well as when you're your little nerdy self."

You rest your head on his shoulder and laugh, "Thankyou for this, I get it if it's just because you felt sorry for me but thanks anyway."

"Don't say that y/n. I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest! I wanted to come with you and you only." He assures you.

You blush and take his hand in yours, surprised at how right it feels.

Soon enough, the other three boys show up and let you in the car.

"Fuck me you look good." Michael says to you.

Calum whacks him about the head which results in him being laughed at but it's normal for you lot.

"Where are your dates?" You ask.

"Hey, we don't do this whole prom mallarky, we're coming as a threesome." Ashton laughs.

"I told you to stop saying that Ashton it sounds so dirty." Luke laughs.

You laugh along with them. There's not a better group of people that your want to spend your night with.

It's 01:54am, I'm on my nan's couch (supposed to be sleeping but shh) and I'm actually binge writing every book on this account like oops!
