"Hey darling. How are you feeling?" - I said as I walked into nursing.

"Lou." - She smiled. - "I feel better."

Emily was sitting on a couch with her legs lifted up in the wall.
Niall and Claudia were there with her.

"The nurse called me as soon as Zayn brought her here." - Claudia said.

"Good. I didn't want to leave you with Zayn though." - I said.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

"I already fed her." - Niall said.

"That's your only function in this group." - I joked.

"Maybe."

"When can I go, Claudia?" - Em asked.

"Whenever you feel like you can walk and stand for yourself, honey."

"The nurse said she needs to take a break and stop putting so much pressure on herself." - Niall told me.

"Just stop it. Can we go have lunch, guys?" - She cut him.

"Of course." - Niall said.

"Ice tea and sandwiches?" - I asked and she nodded. - "Let's go."

~~~

"So how did the class end? Did Harry teach something new? What did I miss?" - Emily asked while biting her sandwich.

"Not much really. He was in a very bad mood today. But..." - I smirked. - "I talked to him after class, and guess what?"

"What?" - Niall asked.

"He is going to give me individual classes."

"What? How? Why?" - Emily asked, almost choking.

"Because I'm the best."

"He did not say that."

"Yes, he did."

"No, he didn't."

"You weren't there Emily." - I laughed.

"I hate you. I want individual classes too."

"You need to rest. And eat." - Niall said.

"I already called Jake. He is going to pick you up, you're not attending jazz class." - I said.

"I can't, Louis. I'm going to leave you hanging with the choreography."

"I can handle it."

"I don't want to miss the class."

"Your health comes first." - I replied.

"I'm so going to use this against you next time you are feeling sick." - She sighed.

"I know darling."

"Tell me again what happened with Harry. Details, Louis. Details."

"Was not a big deal, I just wanted to talk to him. I shouted a bit, he told me off, and then he said the only way he could teach me was with individual classes."

"You shouted at him?" - Niall asked and I nodded. - "To Harry Styles?" - I nodded again. - "You're insane, mate. He's never going to hire you."

I suddenly had an idea. I rushed to stand up and grab my things.

"Where are you going?" - Niall asked.

"I need to ask your mum if she knows if Harry did this with someone else."

"Why would she know?"

"Your mum knows everything."

"Sure. You do that. See you tonight."

"What?"

"The party, Louis. Remember?"

"Fuck. I forgot. Yes. Will see you there. Take care of Em."

"I can hear you, you asshole." - She said.

"I love you both. Bye."

~~~

I made my way to Claudia's office and entered without knocking as I usually do.

To my surprise, guess who was there already?
Yeah, right guessed.

Harry.

They both turned to me when I opened the door.

"Louis. I'm busy." - Claudia said.

"Sorry."

"Tomlinson, Are you here to complain about me again?" - Harry asked with a smirk on his face.

"No." - I turned to Harry with a frown on my face.

Was that a joke attempt? I stared at him, trying to decipher, and he erased the smirk from his lips, making me more confused. I sighed and turned to Claudia again.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Horan. I should have knocked."

"Yes, you should have." - Claudia said while she was clearly sending me death looks. - "I'm talking to Harry. Wait outside. Mr. Tomlinson."

"No, sorry. I have class in a few minutes. I can come back later." - I apologized and turned around.

"You should be having lunch, Tomlinson. You wasted a lot of energy on class today." - Harry said.

I turned around to him. Because what?

"I already had lunch, sir." - I said.

"Good." - He smirked, again. - "You're dismissed."

I rolled my eyes. Of course he would say that.

I turned around and left the office. With a lot happening in my mind.

~~~

I didn't return to Claudia's office that day. I decided I just was going to keep the private classes as a secret for now. Maybe it's for the best.

Maybe I should ask Harry if he had told her or asked her for permission first.
Maybe he doesn't want other people to find out.
Maybe I should ask him on monday.

Well, but that's a Future Louis problem.
Now was time to party.

As Emily had left for Jake's house, I was getting ready for the party on my own. But I always have an as under my sleeve.
I wasn't going to show up alone.

I texted Caleb, inviting him to the party. You know, for a little more fun.

After I finished getting ready, he showed up at my door. And we headed to the party.
I texted Niall on the way so he would wait for me outside.

He was there when Caleb and I got out of the taxi.
He approached me and intertwined our arms, getting close to me so he could whisper in my ear.

"You had to bring him?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You can get laid with whoever you want here, why bring your fuckbuddy? You're ruining all of the fun."

"I have codes." - I said and we both laughed.

"Whatever mate, there's a lot of alcohol in there, it's insane."

"Awesome."

I looked back where Caleb was following us and grabbed his hand, pushing him inside with me. Oh, we were going to have fun.

After four shots, five beers and a couple of colourful drinks, Caleb and I were having sex in the bathroom.

We were both pretty drunk by now. I wasn't even bothered to make him feel good, I was too out of my senses to care.

I turned around when I heard someone entering the room.

"Go away!" - I said.

But oh.

"Louis?"

Shit.

I got out of Caleb and pulled my clothes back on.

"Zayn? What are you doing here?"

"Louis ?" - Caleb said. - "Aren't we going to like, finish?"

"Sorry I interrupted." - Zayn said and turned around to walk away.

Fuck.

"No, Zayn wait!"

What am I doing.

"It's okay, you were with your boyfriend."

Boyfriend, who?

"Caleb?" - I laughed. Shit I was very drunk. - "No he is not."

"No?"

"I'm pretty single." - I said and tripped over my own foot, grabbing Zayn's shoulders for balance.

"You're also pretty drunk."

"Yep."

"Need a ride home?"

"Maybe. You're not drunk?" - I asked while stumbling to the front door of the house, with Zayn guiding me.

"No, I don't drink anymore."

"Ok, that's good Zaynie, You are a good boy now, don't you? You can take me home just like the good old days." - I said and he laughed.

"Sure, Lou. Will do that."

This was a bit shitty, but next one is way better.
