Falling for a Lie ~ Chapter 10.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liam wasn’t popular, but people still knew who he was. He was known for being kind and fair, for being engaged in his school work, for being friends with “that gay dude” AKA Louis, for dating one of the more coveted girls in school and of course for breaking up with her. Recently, he had become known for being Niall’s friend. He was actually a little bit proud that Popular Niall wanted to be his friend, but he would never admit that.

But by the end of the day, Liam would be known for something else…

“Um… thanks…” Niall murmured and blushed.

Louis, Zayn and Harry gave each other knowing looks and tried to suppress their amused grins, because seriously, could Liam and Niall be more obvious?

“So, how was your New Year?” Niall asked while he tried to fight off his blush.

“It was fine, and from what I’ve heard,” Liam glanced at Louis, “yours was pretty good as well. Got any New Years resolution?” he asked with a sweet smile.

“Uh…” Niall’s blush was immediately back and he looked down at his shoes. “Not really…”

Liam was just about to press the truth out of Niall, when a bunch of girls let out a devastated squeal:
