:: Melanie's POV ::
It was lunch time. I started to walk to the cafeteria. None of my friends were out of class yet, so I was alone now, for a few minutes. I sit at our normal table, in the corner and look around. My eyes wander over to my crush. Harry Styles. I've liked him for years. We've talked before. But it only lasts seconds, before I lose the ability to speak. He just takes my breath away. He was by himself, which was unusual. He was the most popular boy in the school. Every girl in the school liked him. 'Go talk to him' My mind kept telling me. I was too scared to even walk up to him, worried that I might do something embarressing. He noticed me staring at him. He smiled at me and waved. I blushed and looked down. 'Why did I do that?' I asked myself. I was waiting for Brody, Farah, Kylie, Katie and my bestest friend Niall. "Melanie!!!" Niall ran over to the table. He was pretty clumsy. He knocked over his juice on the table. "Oh Niall!" I laughed. I stood up and helped him clean up. I sat down with him. "I'm so hungry. The maths killed my brain! The test, that I didn't even study for was on. I think I failed." Niall said, eating some Nandos. There were crumbs everywhere. I couldn't help but smile. Niall was just amazing. I was so honoured to call him my best friend. I looked up and saw Harry staring at me again. I smiled at him nervously and looked away. Niall was looking at me confused. I just shake my head. "I have something to tell you Melanie..." I hear Niall say. Then, at that moment, Farah, Brody, Kylie and Katie run over and join us.

I just missed my chance to tell her. She was so beautiful and perfect. It was killing me. "So, what's happening?!" Brody says smiling. She flipped her long, curly hair over her shoulder. "Nothing..." Melanie blushed. "Ooo tell us Melanie." Katie gives her a nudge. Her eyes wander over to Harry. I look up at him. I sink lower in my seat. He was popular. Very popular. I was one of his best friends. I never told him about the feelings I had for Melanie. "Oh Melanie!" Kylie fell backwards off her seat. A sad look must of come over my face, because Brody asked me what's wrong. "Oh, um. Nothing. Just tired." I lie. I just wanted them to move away for a second. I wanted to tell Melanie. Before anyone else got her.
:: Brody's POV ::
I knew something was up with Niall. He is always full of energy. Never tired at school. Even after tests. I was worried. He always hung out with us. All the time. His house was right next to Melanie's place. The bell rung. "Okay. I guess I'll see you next lunch?!" Melanie hopped up from the table. Her blonde hair flipped over her shoulder. The rest of the girls left too. I took this opportunity, to ask Niall. "Niall. What is going on?!" I say worried. "It's nothing Brody..." He says slowly. I knew something was wrong. I just need to know what.
:: Melanie's POV ::
That lunch was very interesting. Harry, my crush, was staring AT ME! Then all the thoughts came running into my mind. Did I have something on my face?!! I ran to the toilets. Nope. I still looked fine. I checked my clothes for any food. No. Still perfectly clean. I breezed through the next classes thinking about Harry. Lucky none of the teachers asked me questions, because I wasn't listening. Then I remembered, Niall! He wanted to ask me something. I'll go over his house this after noon.
Now it was lunch. Again. This time, me and my friends ate outside. I was hoping Harry would come out here too. I was looking around. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and turned around. I found myself staring into Harry's beautiful eyes. "Hey Melanie..." Harry said shyly. "H-hi Harry" I looked down, biting your lip. "Do you want to... hang out?" He sat up on a short brick wall. I smiled at him and sat next to him, but not too close. He looked up at me. "You can come closer. I'm not that scary am I?" He laughed. I moved in a little and began to eat. I couldn't believe this was happening. We began to talk to each other. It was a very long conversation. It started to get easier to talk to him. "I can't believe I didn't ask to hang out with you before. Your so great." He smiled at me, his dimples showing. I smile back. Then the bell rang. I hopped off the wall. "I guess I'll see you later?" He kissed my cheek. I felt like dying. "Sure will" I smile and walk away. Niall was standing near the door, holding his food looking at me. He didn't eat?! He looked down and walked inside. I looked back over at Harry. He gave me a wave and I walked inside.
:: Niall's POV ::
Lucky it was time to leave school. I couldn't stand being there anymore. Seeing my best friend kiss Harry, was unbearable. I couldn't take it. No girl has ever loved me before. Melanie was the first and only girl I have ever loved. I've been friends with her ever since we were in nappies. I've always lived next to her, and I've seen her love many boys before. And I've never been one of them. When they crushed her her heart, I was always there to look after her. I'd come over every afternoon, to see how she was. It hurt that she'd never loved me. I wish that I was Harry right now. I want her to love me. Like I love her. My best friends Liam and Louis walk over to me. "Hey Nialler! What's happening?" Louis smiles. "Oh nothing" I say trying to smile. "Apparently, there is gonna be a new guy coming tomorrow. Zayn is his name, we think." Liam says. "Oh really. Cool." I say. I say good bye to them.
As usual, Melanie was waiting outside. I always walked her home. As soon as I walked out, she ran up to me. "Niall. I'm gonna walk with Harry today. I'll come see you soon okay?!" She smiled. I tried to smile back. "Okay then!" I say. I quickly walk out the gate, trying not to feel upset. Harry is my best friend, I know, but I loved Melanie so much. I just couldn't help it. I ran inside, threw my bag in the corner, and sat down in another corner. I buried my face in my hands. I soaked my shirt with tears. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I had to tell her.
