I heard crying in the bathroom; of course I knew it was my best friend Danielle Peazer. I went over to the stall and knocked on it. “Go away!” I heard her cry.
“Dani, It’s me Sam.. Please let me in.” I asked her. I heard her turn the lock to let me in, I walked in to see her mascara smeared everywhere and toilet paper in her hand. I saw the tears streaming out of her eyes. I went over and looked down and then bent down to give her a hug. “So, why don’t you tell me what Nick did?” She looked embarrassed knowing that I knew it was about Nick.
“Well, he saw me talking to Liam and he got mad at me because he doesn’t want me talking to other guys, and then I told him that Liam was my best guy friend and he got even more mad and said we should just break up because I seem more interested in Liam, which I found stupid since all I did was talk to him and Nick got jealous, then after he said that I said I won’t talk to Liam anymore.” She looked at me sadly.
“You’re really stubborn, you know that? Who the hell lets their boyfriend control them like that? If I had a boyfriend like that he’d be long gone, especially if he told me to stop talking to one of my best guy friend” I said.
“I don’t know Sam, I just can’t tell him off. I mean we've been dating for so long, I can't just throw it all away, don’t you know what I mean?” she asked me.
No not really, I thought to myself, considering I’ve never even had a serious relationship before, and I was already a senior at Northwood High School, Nashville. But I wanted to wait for the perfect guy to come along. I was starting to give up hope, but I answered her and said “No, I guess not. But you still shouldn’t let him have that control over you, think about how’s Liam going to feel? You should just try talking to Nick.”
“I guess you’re right, and I am sick of him always getting jealous of me. Maybe I should just try talking to him calmly.” She said.
“Good. Now let’s get you cleaned up before the bell rings.” She smiled up at me and we both left the stall and got her back to looking normal self. We both looked in the mirror, I was jealous of how pretty Dani was; long brown curly hair, brown eyes, slim and had a tan. She was one of those girls you’d see in the hallway and automatically get jealous. While there was me, long blonde straight hair, blue eyes, curvy. I always felt ugly next to Dani, but she always told me I was pretty, but wasn’t that what best friends were supposed to say to each other?
“Ready?” she said interrupting my thoughts. I turned to see her looking at me with a smile.
“Yeah, let’s go.” We both left the bathroom and headed to our lockers. We went to her first and when we got there we saw Nick waiting for her. I looked over to her and whispered, “We can go to mine first if you want.”
“No it’s okay; I might as well face him sooner or later.”
We got to her locker and he looked at her with sorry in his eyes, he looked at her and said, “babe, please talk to me, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean what I said I just got jealous, I just don’t want to lose you to some other guy.”
She looked over at him, “seriously? You always get jealous. I’m so sick of it, and I’m sick of the fact that you always get mad at me talking to Liam. He’s my best guy friend, and even you should know that. And the fact that you said we need to stop being friends just to make our relationship work was really hurtful. I just can’t handle the pressure with us anymore; maybe we should just take a break.”
My eyes widened when I heard her say that, I couldn’t believe Dani actually said that to Nick, the guy she’s been with since grade 10. I looked over at him to see what his expression was. He looked angry and in shock to at the same time. Me and Dani both stood there waiting for him to say something.
He looked at her and then said, “are you serious right now? You want to break up with me? After all these years you want to dump me? What the hell Dani?”
She stood there and looked at me telling me to go, I looked at her and told her to call me later. I left and turned and saw her talking to him, I could tell he was hurt and she looked like she was going to cry but she was holding herself together. I went to my locker, we weren’t very far from each other, I could still see them, but not well enough that I could tell what was going on. Then I saw Liam Payne coming towards me, “hey Liam!”
“Hey Sam, is Dani okay? I walked past her and Nick and I could tell something intense was going on.” He looked at me with worry.
“Um, not really, she’s sort of breaking up with Nick.”
“No way, she is? Why?” He was just as in much shock as I was when I heard her say it to Nick.
“Eh, she has her reasons. I shouldn’t say, you should just ask her yourself. She’ll tell you why.”
“Fair enough” he said.
Right when he said that Dani came over, I could tell she was not in a good mood, I looked over at her and she nodded her head, she could tell I was wondering if they broke up. Guess that was her signal, I felt sorry for her. She loved Nick so much, and I knew it was hard for her to just give up like that. But I knew she knew it was the right thing to do. For once in her life she didn’t have to be afraid Nick was going to catch her talking to another guy. We both looked at Liam who was standing there really confused. “Hi Liam,” said Dani.
“Are you okay Dani?” He reached over and gave her a big hug. I smiled knowing she loved when he hugged her. Liam and Dani would look good together; he was her type as well. Tall, short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes. He was one of the sweetest guys that you could ever meet. He cared for Dani a lot, he had a crush on her too, and she just never knew it. I was the only one he had told. Me, Dani, and Liam were all best friends so we told each other everything. He had told me last year that he had feelings for Dani, but he would never tell her because she was with Nick and he didn’t want to jeopardize their friendship.
“Erm, guys I hate to ruin the moment, but we really need to get to class.” I said, they both let go and laughed. We all had third period together which was Chemistry. We walked into class and that’s when I saw the new kid. He had short bright blonde hair, and had braces, but he had the most adorable smile. Dani and Liam both caught me staring at him. Dani nudged me and I snapped out of it, Liam just stood there laughing at me. I glared at him giving him the warning to shut up. He shut up holding his laughter. Dani looked at me smiling, she whispered, “you should go over and say hi, he’s new.”
I blushed, “I don’t know, it might be awkward for him.”
“It’s probably more awkward for him because he doesn’t know anyone and plus it's near the end of the semester so you might as well make him have a friend before next semester, besides there’s an empty seat beside him. Go for it!” She looked at me smiling and then at Liam who shook his head saying it was a good idea.
“Okay, okay.” I looked at them, and then at him. He was staring at his desk, I walked over really nervous, I looked at him and he looked up smiling, I noticed he had the bluest eyes I have ever seen, he was gorgeous. I snapped out of it realizing I had been staring for to long. “Um, hi. Is this seat taken?” I could feel my cheeks burning; I could tell I was blushing hard.
“No, no one’s sitting here, you can sit there if you want.” He said smiling.
I sat down awkwardly, and turned to him to introduce myself, but before I could say anything he looked at me with his adorable smile “I’m Niall, Niall Horan."
