A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Birthdays and Concessions

Sixteen?! I cannot believe it! I am sixteen?? Finally old enough to drive and to not be considered a child.

As you can probably tell, yes, it is my sixteenth birthday! And I'm not celebrating it some boring old party way, no, I am in Ireland with my familly AND friends! You might think I'm rich, no not really, it took me forever to convince my parents to take me to Ireland and then a jillion more days to convince them to bring my best friend along. Not to mention I had to promise that I wouldn't ask for anything else including a party (but that's pretty boring, like I said).

To tell you a little bit about me, my name is Lennon Amelia Giovanni (very Italian, I know). I have long, annoyingly thick, brown hair and big blue eyes. I am relatively short and my birthday is June 25, 1994! I live in New Jersey. Yes, I live in America with a boring American accent.

With that stuff aside, we are spending our first night in Ireland in our fancy shmancy hotel (outside of some city called Mullingar) eating a delicious dinner and then we are going to a carnival!

After eating, and promising my mom that I wouldn't get into any trouble (gosh I am sixteen), we leave for the carnival. When I say we, I mean my best friend, Matt, and his obnoxious older brother, Ricky.

"Oh my goodness!!! This is the coolest carnival I have ever seen!" I squeal as we arrive.

"Calm down, Lennon!" Matt laughs at my childishness. "Where to first?"

Did he really have to ask? Matt has known me too long not to already know the answer to that question. And before you ask, yes we did just eat but...

"TO THE FOOD!" I yell with my fist in the air like some sort of warrior.

Matt and I both laugh and we skip/run to a concession stand. Yes, we both are five-year-olds.

Ricky rolls his eyes and the complaining begins, " I am definitely not babysitting you two all night!"

"Shut up, Ricky" I yell. "We are both sixteen ya know so you don't have to watch us thank you very much!"

Ignoring this, Ricky still follows us and to be perfectly honest, I have no idea why he is considering he always likes to stay as far away as possible from us on a regular basis. Whatever.

We arrive at the concession stand but not before Matt yells, "Gotta pee, brb. Haha that rhymed."

I laugh because he is just so strange, yet we are so similar. We both LOVE food, we both are extremely odd (obviously), and we both love baseball (America's past-time, right?). What bugged me about our friendship, though, was simply that we were just friends, nothing more. Everyone always thought we were a couple and noted how cute we were together and everytime I wanted to scream WE ARE JUST FRIENDS! I hate that stereotype! Not all girl-boy friends end up together. I can truthfully say that I have never thought of Matt as more than just a friend and I know that he feels the same way.

Anyway, at the snack stand, I stand there looking at the menu, with Ricky still creepily following me, until I hear a soft Irish accent ask me if I want anything. I look down at him and before I can give him my long list of items I freeze. Before me stands the cutest boy I have ever seen in my life. He has shaggy blond hair and is short, like me. But the thing that strikes me the most about him is his deep, blue eyes.

"Umm... hello!" I hear Ricky's annoying voice, snapping me back into reality. "Any day now Lennon, I'm hungry!"

I turn around and bore my eyes into his head. He completely embarassed me in front of cute-snack boy. UGHHHH!!!

"Lennon?" I hear.

I whip my head around to see the boy looking right at me.

"That is a really pretty name," he continues.

I stand there, looking at this extremely cute boy with an extremely cute accent who just complimented me! I probably look so stupid because I have the biggest grin imaginable plastered on my face, but who cares! He just complimented me!

"Thanks," I say after a minute, looking at the ground (I suck at talking to boys, besides Matt), "and your name is?" I continue.

"Niall, Niall Horan."
