On the grind. (1D AU)

Adi~

Violently lurching over bending my knees and releasing the vomit that forced its way up my throat I began to heave, while also wiping off the beads of sweat on my forehead.

Ninety degrees and twelve suicides had gone by and I felt sicker than ever, our coach Laura Macomby told me to sit on the metal bleachers placed to the right of the field.

Sighing I walked slowly to them wishing I had gotten more sleep and breakfast this morning. Sighing seemed a feat in my daily life now which only made me want to sigh more.

The boys were practicing on the field next to ours so I had the pleasure of watching their toned bodies run and do three man weave, watching as their fast passes made shirts rise and sculpted abs show. I gulped, as sick as I felt I couldn't help but to enjoy myself- essentially being sick in a completely different term of the word.

Sure I haven't had a boyfriend since grade school but at least I can window shop without having to buy, right? Smiling to myself I looked back to the ground soiled by the contents of my stomach ruining any and all mood of happiness from what was happening behind me.

I heard footsteps close in on me and prepared to be laughed at by some idiotic asshole who calls themselves my peer. "Oi! Reed blowing chunks because you can't stomach how attractive I am? I would too!" called Olli in between his sips of water walking backwards, simultaneously giving me a small wink.

He then fist bumped another asshole on his way to get into defensive plays with the rest.

Zayn and his three friends looking over to the shouting that just happened and scolding Olli for being childish in front of the ladies' team. I watched this all happen seeing a look of concern in a very tall and very toned covered with light sweat Zayn, weird.

Feeling a small bit better I joined my girls going to scrimmage ignoring Macomby when she demanded I sat down to rest up for tomorrow's big game.

In the gym I slowly took off my cleats trading them for my vans I wore earlier managing not to get mud from my clothes- and well everything- on the White laces. I smiled to myself seeing a text from my bestfriend Harold.

From: Corndog

Meet me at your place round six, if you're late I'm gonna fill your house with stray cats, don't even test me missy.

"You okay Reed?" A thick accented voice interrupted my thoughts, "the boys were worried but none of them had the guts to say anything but me- and by guys I mean mostly Zayn if you haven't already figured that out because of all the staring. I mean I don't blame him honest.." he mentioned trailing off like he didn't know how else to stop his thoughts from bursting out of his mouth.

"Yeah I'm good, just a mixture of no sleep and no food screwed me over I guess, thanks for caring." I replied in monotone not bothering to look up to see who was speaking.

"It's Niall by the way..." he said giving up on the idea of me actually looking at him when he spoke, I nodded back as a ok.

"NIALL YA LITTAH FUCK" a sudden booming honey sounding voice yelled, this time I did look up. Zayn.

He was fresh out of the boys locker room in just a towel. Seriously, do the guys think they own this gym? Because newsflash they didn't. He looked up finally noticing my presence and his eyes widened as he realized how exposed he was.

I rolled my eyes and silently thanked Niall again as I went to walk home, hearing a faint "Why the fuck didn't you say she was going to be out here with you? For shits sake Horan!"

I walked silently with only my thoughts to keep me company. I heard the closing of a door just as I reached the end of the school parking lot checking the road for a free time to cross, and begin my small journey home.

"REED!" A familiar tone yelled to me, turning around his brown eyes met mine and I got lost. So lost I didn't even want to be found again.

But for what seemed like a lifetime he finally opened his mouth again mouthing out a simple, "hi", a smile taking form on his face, eyes crinkling ever so slightly.

What does he want from me?
