"So that's it?" Niall questioned "No more Mr Crazy following you around all of the time" he said
"That's it" Louis declared, slamming closed his locker before turning back around to face Niall
Niall smiled widely at this "At last!" He exclaimed "What made him finally leave?"
"I told him to" Louis replied
"And he listened?" Niall quizzed
Louis shrugged at this "He had to" he replied "I made it clear this time"
Niall hummed in reply "Weird" he said with a slight shrug, hitching the backpack on his shoulder
Louis didn't reply, glancing over his shoulder in a self conscious way. He hadn't seen Harry, not since that day. It was both relieving and upsetting, and he had no idea why the latter was affecting him so much. He felt bad in a way, though he knew that it had to be done
"What's up?" Niall questioned "Why are you acting so weird?" He quizzed
"M'not acting weird" Louis replied, still looking at his surroundings in a paranoid way
"Louis" Niall said firmly, his tone scolding "I've known you forever, you're being weird" he stated "Is this about Harry?" He asked
Louis shifted around uncomfortably at this and Niall's jaw dropped
"It is about Harry, isn't it!" He exclaimed
"I-is there something wrong with me?" Louis questioned seriously, looking at Niall with wide eyes "It's like I can't stop thinking about him, he's just on my mind all of the time"
"It's just because you're so used to him following you around" Niall replied, shaking his head and letting out a huff of annoyance "He's been stalking you since you guys were toddlers"
"And all I've ever wanted was for him to stop" Louis stated "Ever since we started primary school I've wanted him to stop" he ranted "And now that he finally has, all I'm doing is thinking about him"
"Louis, you're just going to feel weird for a while" Niall promised "It's only because you're not used to the freedom"
"B-but I kind of miss him..." Louis trailed off in embarrassment "What the hell is wrong with me?" He spluttered
"Maybe you just miss the attention that he gave you" Niall replied with a shrug "You probably don't miss him"
"You think so?" Louis quizzed "I-I just like the attention?" He asked, scrunching his nose slightly in confusion "M'not an attention whore or anything, right?"
Niall snorted at this, offering Louis an amused grin "Of course you're not" he promised "But you're probably a little lonely since Harry's stopped speaking to you"
"Right" Louis mumbled in agreement "I have know him my whole life" he added
"What you need, is a boyfriend" Niall announced "And fast"
Louis scoffed at this, rolling his eyes at Niall "Who would want to date me?" He questioned
"Apart from the entire school?" Niall mused
"Niall" Louis whined, pouting at the blonde boy "I'm serious"
"So was I" Niall muttered and Louis gave him an incredulous look "Okay, let's see" Niall started "So first of all we have Harry"
"Gross" Louis replied
"Then we have that Dan guy that stares at you all of the time" Niall added
"Also kind of gross" Louis repeated
"And then there's Francis who wants to be your knight in shining armor" Niall listed
Louis tilted his head slightly in thought "He's kind of sweet"
"Noted" Niall replied "Then there's James that asked you to do a joint project"
"Again, gross" Louis echoed
"Why's he gross?" Niall asked "He likes you"
"He picks his ear wax" Louis pointed out and Niall nodded thoughtfully
"Okay, he's gross" the blonde boy agreed, furrowing his eyebrows as he tried to think of another person "Of course we have Jack"
"Jack" Louis echoed thoughtfully
"Yes" Niall said, rolling his eyes "The same Jack who put himself before you"
Louis pouted at this "He did apologise" he argued
"No second chances" Niall stated, frowning when Louis' eyes shone brightly "No, Louis!" He snapped "Absolutely not!" He ranted "We're not giving Jack another chance"
"But, Niall" Louis whined "He's the only person who I really like"
"Definitely not!" Niall replied "Louis, don't look at me like that" he scolded when Louis pouted at him "Stop, you're too cute, you're making me feel bad"
Louis jutted out his bottom lip and his eyes were wide and blue "Niall" he repeated "I like him"
"Louis, no" he scolded "I said no- okay okay fine" he rushed out when Louis blinked at him sadly "I hate you and your cute little face" Niall grumbled angrily
"Love you too" Louis chirped, throwing an arm over Niall's shoulder as they made their way to their next class
***
Harry's knee bounced uncontrollably underneath the table and he was twisting the rings on each finger in an obsessive manner
He was sat in a biology class, sharing a table with Zayn and Liam who were sharing a look of agitation as Harry continued to fidget across the table from them
"Harry, stop it" Zayn groaned, kicking his foot out at Harry's shin to still the boy's movements
"Stop what?" Harry questioned, eyes snapping upwards to meet Zayn and Liam's glares
Liam rolled his eyes at this "Stop moving your damn leg" he snapped "What's up with you today?" he asked
"Nothing" Harry said quickly, his knee beginning to bounce again until Zayn kicked him "What the fuck are you doing?" He quizzed when Zayn's foot hit his knee
"You're fucking moving again" Zayn told him "Just stop it" he snapped "The hell's wrong with you today?"
"Excuse me, boys at the back" the teacher called out, pointing to their table "No talking" she scolded "Especially with the use of bad language"
She was old, unbearably so. She fixed her glasses on her nose before looking back down at her paperwork. The class were supposed to be researching with the available textbooks in silence, and the chatter on Harry's table had caused a disturbance to the learning
Zayn raised an eyebrow once the class had gone back to their work "So are you going to answer?" He questioned
"Answer what?" Harry replied
"What's up with you today?" Liam questioned, repeating Zayn's earlier words
"Nothing" Harry repeated "Just shut up" he hissed
"You're acting like a crazy person" Zayn told him "You're fucking twitching" he pointed out, eyeing Harry's hands which were shaking slightly "Harry!" he snapped when the boy didn't reply
"What?" Harry asked loudly, annoyed at the insistent nature of his two best friends
A few heads turned at Harry's raised voice, but the teacher didn't stir
Liam sighed loudly at this "Are you okay?" He asked "We're worried" he added "You're fucking scaring us"
"Do you need a fix?" Zayn questioned "Is that it?" He quizzed "I've got a joint in my bag if you-"
"That's not the type of drug I'm craving" Harry muttered
Liam's eyes widened at this "What the hell does that mean?" He practically shouted
"Mr Payne?" The old teacher questioned "Care to explain why you are shouting out in silent study?" She asked harshly
"Um..." Liam trailed off
"It was me" Zayn spoke up "I shouted" he said quickly "Sorry for the disturbance, it won't happen again" he promised, offering the old woman a smile
The woman smiled right back at him, and Liam's jaw dropped when he realised that Zayn had literally everyone mesmerised by his beauty
"Thank you, Zayn" she replied "All is forgiven" she added before going back to her work
Liam blinked at him a couple of times, baffled at the outcome "How the hell-"
Zayn cut him off with a shrug "All about the smile" he replied "No one can be mad at this smile" he said, offering Liam the same grin
Liam rolled his eyes at Zayn's pretty face "Shut up" he grumbled "It's painfully true and I hate it"
Zayn laughed quietly at this before turning his attention back to Harry who was still fidgeting across the table "Seriously though, Haz, what are you talking about?" He asked finally "If you're trying to tell us that you're addicted to cocaine-"
"Worse" Harry mumbled
"Heroin?" Liam quizzed, eyes wide
"Worse" Harry repeated
Zayn and Liam glanced at each other in a confused manner before looking back at Harry "Speedballs?" They asked in complete unison
At this, a kid turned around from a table next to them "Are you selling?" He asked "Because I'll buy"
"What? No" Liam said quickly, dismissing the boy immediately
Zayn winked at the boy "I have weed" he said with a shrug "If you wanna buy that" he offered
"Deal" the kid replied before turning back around
"Zayn!" Liam shrieked in a low tone "You can't just sell drugs like that" he scolded
"Why not?" Zayn questioned
"Because that's a serious crime!" Liam told him
"Don't get pissy" Zayn grumbled "It's not a big deal"
Liam shook his head at this "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" he stated
"Sorry, dad" Zayn muttered, sinking into his seat
"You will be" Liam replied huffily and Harry smirked at them
"Why are you smiling, crackhead" Zayn snapped, glaring at Harry
"Zayn" Liam scolded "He's not a crackhead, stop it" he said, slapping Zayn's shoulder lightly
"He so is" Zayn replied "Look at him, his eyes are red" he pointed out
Harry scowled at this, rubbing at his eyes "I'm not on any drugs" he muttered "Just shut up"
"Then what's bust your balls?" Zayn asked "Got rejected by a chick last night?" He questioned "Someone's bust your ego? Is that it?" He quizzed
"Mmmm" Harry hummed, entirely uninterested "Something like that" he mumbled
"Well then, get over it" Zayn replied "Plenty more fish in the sea" he stated
"Don't want any other fucking fish" Harry stated
"Who the hell are you so hung up over?" Liam asked "You're Harry Styles" he pointed out "You're practically a household name"
"I'm fucking sick of being branded" Harry replied "The whole town has fucking labelled me and I'm sick of it" he ranted "Labels are for bottles and clothes and shit like that"
Zayn blinked at this, confused at Harry's outburst "No one's labelled you" he replied, his tone considerably softer
"Think I can't have feelings just because I'm 'Harry Styles, king of the football pitch'?" He questioned "Because I do have fucking feelings, and it fucking sucks" he snapped
"Harry" Liam said gently "What's wrong?" He asked
"I'm just fucking sick of it!" Harry shouted "I'm sick of it all!" he said loudly, suddenly standing up and knocking his chair over in the process
"Mr Styles!" The teacher exclaimed in pure shock "What on earth-"
Harry grabbed his bag and stormed out of the classroom, not listening to the voices shouting after him
Zayn and Liam glanced at each other before jumping up and following Harry out of the classroom and into the school hallway
"Harry!" Liam shouted
"Harry, wait!" Zayn called
When Harry finally did stop, it wasn't due to the voices calling behind him. It was because he saw a familiar pair of eyes in the corridor, and they looked just as sad as his own
