I Wish for More Than This *One Direction Fanfic*

You Can't Go To Bed Without A Cup of Tea

It's short, I know! I'm so sorry!!

His mouth fell open and his eyes were wide.

I shrugged.

"The number of valance electrons in a chlorine is seven, the general form of a logistics function is c over one plus A times B to the negative X. The population of Botswana is 2,030,738 people."

I paused again to take in a breath.

I think I lost Niall at my favorite word.

~~~~~

He stared at me.

I started at him.

He started at me.

I stared at him.

His mouth was dropped open.

My mouth was in the form of a smug smile.

Ha.

Shows you right, boys.

I am really going crazy, aren't I?

I am talking to myself.

I don't think Niall blinked.

Should I be worried?

Naw, according to him, he is a man and he knows everything.

Wait, Niall never said that.

Oh my gosh, I am not making any sense.

I think I know why I am not making any sense: I have waited fifteen years to tell someone about my smartness...? I am smart, I know smartness isn't a word, ok?

I am so relieved to have finally told someone.

"N-Niall....?" I quietly spoke, my voice breaking the silence in the room.

"J-Jessica-did-did you just-what?" he stuttered.

"Ok. I'm not as dumb as you guys make me out to be." I replied.

"But-" he began but quickly shut his mouth.

I smiled.

"Yeah? Want to teach me stuff? Go ahead, try me." I stated, getting way too much fun out of this situation.

"How?" Niall finally spoke.

"How what?"

"Ho-how did you learn all of that? Did Harry-"

"Psh, Harry didn't teach me anything."

"Th-then how-"

"Is it so unheard of that people can teach themselves?!"

"N-no, but-"

"But what, then?"

"But-"

"What do you need me to say? That I can name off the first three hundred numbers of Pi in under three minutes? That I read my first medical book when I was six? That I-"

"I don't believe it. Harry must be playing a prank on me-"

I sighed.

"Harry doesn't know about this. I promise you. You are the first and only person I have told. I have waited years to tell someone-"

"No. Harry is just setting me up so he can laugh at me....or Louis. Just stop it-"

"Stop what?! What, you really don't think I am smart? Huh??"
