I'm a Thief (ON HOLD)

Hi, I'm Liam!

[A/N WAAAAA! Well lookie thar! Another story! Yup, so I've basically got the biggest case of writer's block in the history of forever with my first story (Just Friends?) so I decided to start a new on and try superduper hard to have longer chapters... so I probably won't update very often, haha, well, on with the story]

"Ray?!" A blonde girl called from across the hall, "Ray! Oh my gosh! Am I dreaming?!"

"Nope. It's me, and I'm here." answered a girl standing at her locker holding her school bag. She was wearing a black 'Monster Energy' hoodie, a pair of black Converse, jeans and a black and lime green SnapBack that matched the colors of the logo on her sweater.

This girl was Rayne Stevens. A short tempered tomboy with jet black hair and striking electric blue eyes.

"Hey Ali," she continued greeting her long time best friend. "What goes on? Been a while since I've seen you around." she said hugging her blonde buddy.

"I know!" Ali screeched, "I can't believe your going to school with me! This is sooooo AWESOM!"

"Ya and the best part is I get a locker right next to yours and we have almost all the same classes." Rayne explained looking at her class schedule.

"No, the best part is there's tons of cute guys here to get yourself acquainted with!" Ali said, playfully nudging her friend with her elbow.

"Haha, very funny," Rayne began, "you know I'm to busy for dumb stuff like boys, I've got more important things to do like go to the skate park, or basketball practice, or martial arts classes."

"Ray, your WAY too caught up in your sports. Now, don't get me wrong, I love ya like a sister, but you gotta get yourself a guy. I think it would be good for you."

Rayne shifted her weight to her other leg and let out a sigh.

"Whatever Ali..." she pulled her books out of her locker and turned to leave, "I gotta get to class."

She ventured down the hall till she came to classroom '4-B'. She entered and quickly skimmed the classroom before settling on a seat in the far right corner. She watched as the classroom filled with students. First a group of chattering girls. A few nice looking girls here and there; a couple of snobby looking ones to. Then a crowd of boys flooded in. Most of them less than desirable, a small handful of decent looking guys, and then one, very, very attractive boy. He had caramel colored hair and sparkling brown eyes. His expression was kind and welcoming as he sat next to her.

"Hi, I'm Liam." he said politely in a beautiful British accent.

-Liam's POV-

I think I just sat next to an angel. This girl is absolutely gorgeous. She's not like the rest of the girls at this school: squealy, prissy, and covered in so much make up it looks like a crayon raped their faces.

With only a little bit of eye makeup she's simple, but, has extraordinary natural beauty. She has electrifying blue eyes that sparkle as she turns to me.

"Hi," she says somewhat unenthusiastically, "I'm Ray."

"Ray huh? 'R' 'A' 'E'?" I inquire, hoping to make a conversation with this lovely girl.

"No," she answers, " 'R' 'A' 'Y'." she turns and looks away from me towards the front of the room. I need to get attention back.

"Hm, interesting way of spelling it." I state trying to keep the conversation going.

"Well it's short for my real name." she glances at me but then back at the chalkboard.

"Really?" I ask interested, "What's it short for? Rachel? Raven?"

She sighs and answers flatly, "Rayne."

"Oh, that's a nice-"

"Mr. Payne, would you mind keeping your conversation with Miss Stevens until after class?" Mr. Wellpot, our history teacher, interrupts.

"Yes sir."

-Rayne's POV-

Well that was weird. My first day at school and I'm already getting hit on? I'm not saying he's not cute, he is, I'll give him that, but it's just not what I was expecting. At all.

After class I meet up with Ali at our lockers. I explain to her my strange experience with that boy but I leave out his name. Ali's my best friend and all but if she knows there's a guy that likes me she do everything in her power to get us together, and I'm just not interested in Liam that way.

As I'm explaining her jaw drops and her attention is directed behind me. I'm about to turn to see what it was and I hear a familiar British accent addressing me.

"Hey Rayne."

Liam.

This boy must really be desperate if he's going after me.

"Um, just call me 'Ray'... I like it better and, nobody calls me 'Rayne', except my mom when she's mad at me." I explain calmly as I turn to him and Ali just stares from me, to Liam, then back to me. What's wrong with this chick?

"Well alright." he agrees, "So Ray, I was wondering," he says shyly, "would you like to sit with me at lunch? Your new here and, well, I could, ya know, teach you the basics of surviving this new school..."

"Um, Liam, that's really nice of you to offer, but-"

"She accepts!" Ali says cutting me off.

"What?" I say confused.

Liam's face lights up. "Great!" He exclaims, "See ya later!"

He jogs off and I turn to Ali repeating myself. "What?"

"Well," she begins, "don't you know who that is?"

"Um, some guy in my history class named Liam..."

"Not just 'Some Guy' named Liam, that's Liam Payne! The HOTTEST most popular guy in school!"

"So."

Ali slaps me and yells, "SO?! Soooo, you can't pass up an offer like that! He totally likes you! That's so cool!"

"Uh, no, it's not..." I say rubbing my cheek, "He may like me but, to be honest, I'm just not interested in him..."

Ali jus stares at me; mouth wide open and eyes about to fall out of her face. Stunned and awestruck she replies with four words, "Girl, you have issues."

"Yep, probably," I say swapping my history book for my Algebra 2 book.

"Rayne Stevens, you are my bestestestestest friend and I will not allow you to skip out on hanging out with Liam Freaking Payne!"

I stare at her for a moment with only one comment, "Bestestestestest?"

"This is not the time for your fancy grammar lessons Ray! Your going to sit with Liam at lunch wether you like it or not!"

Another long sigh escapes my mouth and I close my locker door. "Fine. But just this once."

"Yay!" she screams jumping up and down like a hyperactive rabbit.

I laugh, "Lets get to class."
