((NEEDS A LOT OF EDITING)) We Don't Even Have To Try - Larry, Ziam and Nosh AU

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Liam-

'Liam Payne!!' 'Hey Liam, can we ask you some questions?' 'Can you please sign my jumper?'

I pushed through the crowd of people, smiling politely at each one of them, showing I appreciated their support, but I didn't have time.

Someone grabbed my wrist and started tugging, to my immense relief I saw it was my sidekick and partner in crime, Danielle Peazer, the cheerleader. I smiled at her as she led me down a secluded hallway away from the horrible mob.

Panting and sweating, we collapsed into my room. That wasn't fun, but on the bright side, my team had just won the state finals, and there was camp tomorrow!! Woop! Woop! Woop!

I exhaled a long breath and Danielle sighed.

"Time to get up, Liam. You need a shower, and then? You have to pack, I'm not doing it for you this time. And you can't leave it til the last minute either." Danielle said sternly, lifting herself off my bed.

I groaned and grumbled a quiet 'yeah, yeah' and also lifted myself up and into the bathroom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shaking my wet hair to make it dry, I heard a knock on the bathroom door. 

"What, Dani?"

"Liam!! Stop faffing around with your hair or we'll miss dinner! It's not that bad and it's naturally nice... also, I'm sure Zayn will love whatever style it is..." she giggled, knowing  she'd hit a button.

I scowled through the door. This is why you don't tell girls who you're crushing on.

"Danielle Claire, when I get out there you better have hidden cause I'm - "

I wa cut off by our dorm door closing. The bitch left without me! Or maybe she's just running. I shook my hair one last time and entered the bedroom in just a towel, ah, coast is clear. I dropped the towel and walked over  to my drawer looking for a clean pair of boxers. 

AH! Batman boxers are clean, goody good. Pleased with my discovery, I shoved them on, grinning. Ouch, not so fast. I repositioned my 'package' and breathed a sigh of relief. Twisties.

I clicked my fingers, what else did I need to do? "...You have to pack, I'm not doing it for you this time. And you can't leave it til the last minute either..."  Aha. Got it.

I turned back to my chest of drawers to pick out some nice underwear for the next few days. There wasn't much to choose from so I just went with what I could.

And with what I thought Zayn would like.

F***, Liam. Snap the hell out of it, man.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was done packing and I was nicely dressed in a tight white v-neck, black skinny jeans, forest green converses and a green beanie, I decided it was time for dinner. Checking myself one last time in the mirror and smoothing out my little fringe, I strutted my way out the door. Smiling and all.

But then HE appeared. His appearance was enough to make me choke, freeze, and have a little problem in the region, imagine if he talked to me, or touched me, or kissed me, or even fuc- Liam, goddamnit he's right there! 

He was like a god, his loose black tank showing so much skin, all his tattoos on show. His lower half was simply decked in a pair of dark, dark red jeans and grey velvet like dress shoes. Like a hot, sexy, attractive hurricane. The things I would do to him.

My boner.

I couldn't move right now. It was unfortunate that I chosen to wear these pants.

I was drooling.

Danielle really could've helped right now.

OMG he's coming  my way, play it cool.

He was like a sex god.

I let out a little whimper and squeezed my eyes shut. Fuuuuudge.

I should really open my eyes now...

"Hey mate, you ok? You look like  you're in pain...?"

Whatwhatwhathatwhatwhatwhatwhat.

Liam, pretend you're in pain.

I was frozen. Fudge.

"Hey! You ok??" 

Speak.

"Uh, yeah, fine. Thanks, mate. Not that we're mates I mean I don't even know you I mean of course I know you but not personally I'm not a stalker I just know who you are!"

Nice. Really nice. Stupid.

"Oh it's cool. Just, you were squinting? And it's all good, dude, we all have our phrases. And I'm Zayn, Zayn Malik, the one and only. Catch ya later, mate."

Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Dead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around five minutes later I made my entrance to the food court. Hum hum hummm, Dani where are you...

I'd run practically all the way there, just to get away from all the people who had probably seen my little run in and 'problem'. There goes my big reputation.

I had just whipped out my phone when some hands covered my eyes. 

"Guess who??" came the squeaky voice from behind me. That wasn't even hard. I played along anyway.

"Ellyboo!!" I laughed and the hands disappeared from my face. Elly, short for Eleanor, was Dani's close friend and she was one of mine too. She had all the boys after her, and quite frankly, I couldn't  blame them.  She had an amazing body, face and personality. El was amazing.

"Li Li bear!!!" she giggled and ran into  my chest when I turned around. Aww she was so short!

"Liam, there you are you shit headed buffoon... I've been all over and you just turn up here? Christ, Li." Dani was annoyed. Oops.

"Not my fault you ditched me, besides, something kind of... happpened." I said sheepishly while detachinng the tiny body of El from my chest. She immediately got busy eyeing some random hot guy and I quietly laughed.

"Yeah, Liam, I heard. Practically it's what the entire campus is talking about!" my laughter was wiped right out. Fudge. How the fudge did people find out like this.

"Shit, Danielle, what are they saying about me?" I asked, gulping. This could be bad.

"Look, it's nothing bad, it was just that 'The Zaynstar strikes AGAIN, hot damn, this time targetting Liam Payne, star basketballer and jock of  the campus..."  gossipy shit like that... why?" I sighed with relief and couldn't help but laugh at the  voice Dani put on when she brought up what they said. So dramatic.

"Oh it's nothing" I sighed, "What are we doing tonight?"

"Well there's a choice. We can get wasted, or, we can get wasted and  high. Two parties, and no we aren't staying home."

I thought about which one Zayn would be at. Most likely getting high for him.

I did think about going to that one, but then I figured out how horribly  wrong that could end up...

"Aw shit Dani. Well seeing as we have camp tomorrow, maybe just wasted."

"Ok, Liam. See you in half an hour! Let's  partyyyy, whoop!!" She then proceeded to sashay out of the court and smack her ass, earning wolf whistles from the jocks at their table.

I rolled my eyes before picking up my vanilla milk drink and walking out.

Well. I had half an hour to waste before Dani would be ready. What should I do?

Let's go shoot some casual hoops. Yeah, I think that might be a good idea.
