I'm Your Secret Admirer

30: A Change Of Appearance

CHAPTER 30

Alyssa's P.O.V

I sat on the sofa, taking advantage of my weekends this week, as I started eating my bowl of popcorn, waiting for Niall to come over.

He was supposed to come over like half an hour ago to watch a movie with me, of course as best friends obviously... Because watching movies with him was like a ritual for us.

Finally hearing the doorbell ring, I quickly got out of my seat before opening the door.

But to my surprise, I was shocked at myself for even having to take a second to look at him and try to recognize this guy who was stood right in front of me.

"Niall?" I blurted out unsurely, staring at his face before his whole new look.

Woah.

When. Did. He. Get. A. Hair. Cut?

When did he get clear braces?

When the hell did he update his whole new look?

Would somebody please explain to me what the hell my best friend is doing changing his frikkin' appearance all of a sudden?

Niall's P.O.V

I watched her reaction to my new look; nervously, seeing her eyes bulge out from her eye sockets the minute she had opened that door for me.

"Niall?" she asked unsurely as I slowly nodded to confirm it was me.

"Wha-, How did this-.... Why?" she finally blurted out the question as I sighed before closing her front door and sitting on the sofa.

"I got a new haircut because I thought I needed a new look, you know... my hair was just so scruffy and long before so I decided to stop with the Justin Beiber look and go for the shorter, spiked look with a few more blonde high-lights" I quickly told her, although I knew that wasn't the case.

I got this haircut in hopes that she would notice me better.

"And I finally got my braces in this morning too, because I wanted to fit in" I simply informed her, which was true this time, because I've always wanted straight perfect white teeth to show off whenever I smile.

"But you don't need braces Niall, you've got perfect teeth already" Alyssa suddenly blurted out quite seriously.

"No I haven't. And you and I both know that I used to get bullied for my croaked teeth" I told her, remembering the past, but she simply shook her head with a disappointed look before staring at my new clothes.

"And I decided I should dress more decent too like a normal person" I responded back to her questioning stare, as she looked up at me with one of her eyebrows cocked up.
