Cambridge

Liam and I have been texting all day, non-stop. It feels good to have somebody to talk to who isn’t going to use me for a bet. I’m going to have to tell Skylar and Rachel soon. It’s better to hear it from my mouth rather than somebody else. I sigh and lay my head on my pillow, snuggling under my covers.
(L is for Liam. T is for Tricia)
L-What are you up to?
T- Snuggling under my covers, what about you?

I laughed to myself. He probably was in his room with both of the evil ones. We decided to call Zayn and Niall that earlier. It was the best thing that could ever happen.

L- I’m listening to Rude by Magic. It’s a real good song.
T- Oh. I’m too lazy to do something. You should come over.
L-Will that be alright with Rachel and Sky?
T- Yeah. They wouldn’t mind. They aren’t even here in the first place.
L- Alright. Be there in 10.

I smiled and got up to put on some presentable clothes. I can’t walk around in my pajamas with Liam coming over. I wish I could, but that’ll be rude of me to do. I put on some tights with my high waisted blue jean shorts. These will go perfect with my black and white plaid button up shirt. The door opens and in walks Rachel.

“Hi. Is it alright if Liam comes over for a bit?” I asked.

She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t mind, but aren’t you dating Zayn?”

I shook my head and bit my lip to hold back the burning tears. I’m not dating him anymore because he’s a jerkface and a dick.

“What happened?” Rachel asked.

“He dated me for a bet he made with...with,” I stammered. Sobs overtook my voice and I broke down crying in the middle of the floor.

“He made a bet with who?” Rachel asked, rubbing my back to soothe me.

“N-niall,” I stuttered. “Neither one of them really loves me. They both hate me.”

“Why are you hanging with Liam?” Rachel asked.

“I don’t know. It feels good to have somebody there to support you and help you through something hard. I like having somebody protect me. No matter how stubborn I can be, I need somebody to fall back on. I need protection.” I said. I wiped away the tears from my eyes. “I’m going to be alright. I just need to get my beanie.”

I walked over to my hat stand and took off my black beanie. It feels weird when I put one on because I haven’t worn one in a long time. I looked in the mirror and checked myself out. I looked pretty nice with my bright blue eyes and brown hair that flowed halfway down my back. The beanie brought out my face a little.

“Rachel, I think I’m going to dye my hair a dirty blonde. Do you think I’ll look good with that?” I asked.

“You’ll look perfect,” A deep but soft accent said. I turned and realized Rachel wasn’t in the room anymore, but Liam was. “You look perfect with anything you wear.”

I smiled and ran up to give him a hug. “Thanks, Li. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” He said, hugging me back. I stared into his dark brown eyes and he stared back with as much intensity. He leaned in closer to me, our lips almost connecting. I leaned in the rest of the way to meet with his soft, pink lips. This kiss was perfect, but I immediately pull back. I don’t want to seem like a slut. This is the second popular guy I’ve kissed. I don’t want to be looked at wrong. What the heck, I’m just going to do it anyways. I slammed my lips into his and didn’t pull away this time. This felt so wrong, but was so right.
