Today was the first day of school after the summer vacation. This was always the time that new students were introduced and had their first lessons. This was my last year, I'm a sixth grader, so after this, I'm going to university. It wasn't rare that there we're new students in my grade, but you didn't see them often. Most new students were of course 1st or 2nd graders. Sometimes 3rd, but not often 4th, 5th or 6th.

I walked to my first class, English. Everyone had their own seats, I sat at the back because the teacher knew I would pay attention and I'm good at learning.

The students with low grades were placed at the front of the class. I sat with my friend on a two seated table. When the class was filled, a new student, a boy with blonde hair and crooked teeth, walked into the class.

"Boys, girls, this is your new classmate Niall Horan. Niall, you can sit a the only empty seat left there at the back."

"Okay Mrs. Thompson."

Quietly he walked to his seat. It was the same row as me, but only one seat and the path between us. I saw the 'popular' people in the class talking to each other and looking at him. I already feel sorry for him. I wasn't really paying attention to the teacher, it isn't like I really need too, English is one of my best subjects.

I was looking at Niall, I was observing him. He had blonde hair with brown routs, he possibly bleached it. I recognized the colors green and blue in his eyes. Crooked teeth, what looked, incredible enough, real cute on him.

When class was over, he was gone before I could even blink.

"Where did he go?" I asked myself.

"Y/N, are you coming?" my friend asked me.

 "Oh yeah."

"What was that in class?" your friend asked you.

"What?"

"You didn't pay any attention! That's not like you, are you sick or something?"

We were sitting at a table eating our lunch.

"No I'm not."

"Was it the new guy then?"

"Maybe.." 

"Ahha, you like him, don't you?"

"Hmmm.. I think he's cute yea."

"Did you talk to him yet?"

"No, he was gone before I could introduce myself."

"Look, there he is!"

 My eyes scanned the room and I saw him walking with his lunch.

"Go on then, introduce yourself."

I stood up and said bye to my friends. I was walking his way, when I saw some of the 'popular' kids walking to Niall.

 "So you're the new guy? There is one thing you need to know, nerdy, that we rule this school."

The leader, I called him 'Mike', threw Niall's lunch on the ground.

 "Lesson one, don't mess with us."

Niall didn't picked up his stuff, but ran away. I ran after him. I screamed his name, but he didn't stop, he just ran.

At a moment, I lost him. 

"Where could he be?" I asked myself.

Then I heard some sobbing coming out of a room. I walked to the door and opened it, it wasn't surprising enough not locked. It was a small room where students could work in groups or sit by themselves. I closed the door and locked it. I saw Niall sitting against the wall. I sat beside him and give him a hug. I just held him like that until the sobbing decreased. He then looked at me with red and puffy eyes.

 "T-thank you." I shook my head. "No need to thank me. I'm y/n, and you're Niall right?"

He nodded a yes. "Y-yes, but how do you know my name?" "

"Oh, I'm in your class, you are sitting on the same row as me at the back, but on the other side."

"Oh."

"Are you okay?"

"Not really, but I'm used to it. On almost every school you have a 'popular' group like them. I avoid them most of the time."

"Yeah me too, not that they bully me or something, I just don't like them."

"You seem really nice y/n, I'm glad to meet you."

"I'm glad too. You look really cute to me."

I did not just say that… My cheeks reddened. "You look cute too when you blush." And I swear they are even redder now. He smiled at me. Oh his smile is just perfect. And those lips, I want to kiss them so badly.

"Where are you looking at?" I looked him in his eyes and blushed again.

He just grinned. "N-nothing."

 But before I could even know, his lips were on mine. It was just.. Perfect! Butterflies were all flying around in my stomach. I didn't kissed back because I was surprised. "I'm sorry, I should not have…"

I stopped him mid-sentence by kissing him back. Our lips were moving in sync.

We had both a smile on our face when we pulled back.

"Wow, that was… Amazing. I like you." I laughed.

 "I like you to Niall."

"Would you do me the honor to be my girlfriend?"

 I answered with a kiss. "I guess that's a yes then."

I giggled. "Of course Niall, of course."

When the bell rang, we went to our next class, hands intertwined. My friend saw it when I entered the class and she was so happy that I found my prince. Niall didn't had a seat next to me, but we would steal glances every now and then.

"So you and Niall eh?"

"Yes, me and Niall, and I know he's the one. I can feel it."

-- 3 Years Later --

It is weird how things can go. I didn't believe in love at first sight, but I knew, the moment when I saw Niall, we would be together forever. And we are. It's been 3 years now, and we couldn't be any happier together. When we did our final exams, he auditioned for X-Factor. At first he didn't had any luck, but later on, he was put together in a band with 4 other boys. He took things slow and we both finished school with good grades.

One Direction was now together for two and a half years, and I've been traveling with them. Things have worked out great so far, and Niall and I are still a happy couple. One month ago, he proposed to me. Of course I said yes, because I can't imagine a life without him.
