Our Love Story From 1817 (An Heartstopper And Pride And Prejudice Fanfic)

Charlie Spring

When i came home after the Ball, asked Tori if i asked Nick to dance.
'No' I said a bit sad almost about to cry.
'You will get another chance, there is a Ball again next week.' She said
'I know, but i dont think i can stand talking to him and seeing him, he was only dancing with girls, and talking to his other friends.'
'Maybe he was scared to ask you to dance, because were still in the 1817 century and you can get in pretty big problems if your gay in your case.'
'Yes but why didnt Tara and Darcy get problems? They danced the whole night.'
'Maybe nobody saw them, or just thought they were friends, or sisters.' She said with a straight face after taking a sip of her drink.
'Maybe,' I said 'But why is it so hard to just ask?'
'Maybe your just scared to get rejected,'
'WOW that thougt helps a lot.'
'I know.' She said with a smal grin. And then walked to me and hugged me, then my little brother Oliver came in and gave us a hug too. Then he said,
'Do you like Nick?'
'Uhmm, yeah.' I said
'Yay, than he can play marbles with me everyday!' he said hapily,
'Uhmm yeah maybe, if i have the courage to tell him that i like him.'
'You can do it Charlie. Now go to bed and you too Oliver, its getting late.' Tori said
'Ok can you read a bedtime story?'
'Yeah sure now go to your room, im comming soon,' She said 'And say goodnight to Charlie.'
'Goodnight Charlie.'
'Goodnight Oliver.' I said
'Just go sleep and forget about it.' Tori said 'And dont you dare skip school tomorow.'
'Ok mom.'
'Dont you dare say mom to me. Just because im a year older than you doesnt mean im your mom.'
'Ok im sorry, goodnight Tori.'
'Goodnight Charles.'
Then she left. And i tried to sleep but i just kept thinking about Nick, and that he was only dancing with girls. And didnt even bother to look in my direction. Then i just cried myself to sleep for a few hours until the sun rose. then i dressed up and walked to school -Truham-. When i walked in to form there he was, Nick sitting at his table next to me. 'Hi.' I said in a bit of a mix of tiredness and sadness
'Hi.' He said 'Whats wrong?'
'Oh didnt get a lot of sleep.'
'How come?' He said a bit worried looking in my eyes, they were shiney and i saw my own reflection. I turned my head away looking at my notebook,
'Uhmm.' I said woried then thankfully the teacher said something, and we didnt talk for the rest of the day.
