Kayleen Rosie Maxwell
"OWW! Harry!" I yell as I swat his hand away, "What was that for?"
Harry dragged Gemma and I outside school.
"You shouldn't have done that." Harry says.
"Harry, I was basically defending myself." I cross my arms and roll my eyes.
"Kayleen, he turned red."
I widened my eyes, "WHAT?"
"I'm just kidding." Harry laughs.
"Wait. What?"
Harry smirked, "You're amazing. Where on earth did you learn that?"
"Kevin." I smile.
"Damn, I need him as my trainer." Harry says.
"Wait. I thought you were mad..?"
"Nah. I just tried to play around." Harry waves to Liam and Zayn as they walked towards us before I could reply.
"Hi guys." Liam says.
"Hi Liam, Zayn." I smile.
"Heard you got in a fight." Zayn says.
"I heard that you also got in a fight with Louis." I raise an eyebrow.
"Louis started it first and-" Zayn explains.
"I don't care who started it first." I state, "What happened?"
Zayn hesitated. He went silent.
"Zayn, mate." Liam says.
"L-Louis and I fancy the same girl." Zayn blurts out.
"Who?" I ask.
"Betina Waters." Liam answers for Zayn.
"She's the brunette cheerleader right?" Harry asks.
"Yeah, she's the captain." Zayn says.
"She's pretty and Betina was my childhood friend back in 5th grade." I say. Harry, Liam and Gemma glare at me for interupting Zayn, "Oh, sorry. Continue."
"So I asked her out on a date. When Louis found out he- lets just say that we ended up beating each other."
"When's the date?" Gemma winks.
"On Saturday. We're watching a hockey game." He smiles.
My mouth drops, "WHAT?!" Gemma and I exclaim at the same time.
"Zayn, you can't take a girl to any sport games." I say, "They'll get super bored."
"What do you think I should do, then?" Zayn asks.
"When Betina and I talked, she told me she was looking forward to see If I Stay." Gemma says.
"Zayn, my man, you need dating lessons." I put a hand on his shoulder, "You're too quiet and mysterious."
"You should be like me." Harry says to Zayn, "Cute, funny, amazing, hot-"
"Woah, woah, woah." I wave my hand to his face, "You're describing me, Styles."
He rolls his eyes, "In your dreams, kid."
"Anyways," Gemma interupts Harry and I, "We all know that Zayn has better qualities than Harry, excluding the mysterious and shy part."
"Ouch!" Harry says as he put a hand on his chest, "That hurt."
"Whatever Harryy." Liam says.
"Where's Niall?" Harry asks.
"Practicing in the field." Zayn shrugs, "I told him he should take a break, but he said he had to train."
"I'll go get him." I smile, "We'll meet you in the cafeteria."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Gemma asks.
"It's okay. You go ahead." I give her a smile.

I walk in the football field to find Niall and another guy competing with one another. I couldn't quite see the face of the boy, but he seemed familiar.
Niall runs towards him and steals the ball, then kicks the ball in the net.
"GOAL!" Niall screams, giving the boy a high-five. I walked closer and he opens his arms to hug me.
I shook my head and chuckled, "No thanks. You're sweaty."
"Why didn't you go with the boys?" I added.
"Because I had to train with trashpants." Niall chuckled at the nickname he gave the boy.
"Trashpants, seriously?" I hear the boy's voice.
The boy he was competing with, turned around and I widened my eyes.
"James?"
"Hey." He smiles, showing his braces.
Holy pancakes, he has braces now?
Sweatbeads formed on his forehead, James was smiling widely and he waved. His hair was messy, in a good way of course, his eyes shining.
"Hi." I smile as I play with the fabric of my dress that I was wearing today.
"I haven't seen you in a while." He grins.
"I know." A playful smile tugged at my lips.
"Hey guys, im just gonna, uh, go to the- the gym. Yeah, the gym." Niall says walking away.
"Meet us in the cafeteria!" I yell. My attention turns to James, "So you decided to get braces."
"Yeah." He smiles showing his braces again, "Blue ones."
"They make you look hotter." I blurt out. My hand brings up to my mouth, "I mean, I mean-" I think of a word, but sadly, my mind is too distracted by his cuteness.
A blush crept up to my cheek and I tried my best to cover my cheeks.
"You know, you're cute when you blush." He winks.
"I blush too easily." I tell myself and him.
There was an awkward silence.
"Uhm, Kayleen?" He looks at the ground and scratched his neck.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering if we could-" He cuts himself off, "Would you like to-"
"Hmm?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
