Finally Louis' pov!

〜

Louis Tomlinson

I was nervous, really nervous. After 4 months of being absent and then 2 months of summer vacation, I was finally going back to school. Literally BACK to school, back to my senior year. At first, I resisted redoing my senior year, but now I've realized it's really the best option for me.

Multiple reasons for that, first I would've had a shit ton of work this summer vacation, now I spent that on football (soccer football, not American football).

Second, it would have still been hard, because even if I wouldn't have missed those 4 months, I'm still not the greatest student.

Third I'd finally have classes with my best friend, Zayn Malik. We've known each other for, I don't know, 11 years now 12? We met at our first football practice. I know it's pretty cliche, but it clicked immediately and we have been best friends ever since.

And forth and maybe most importantly, I'd have classes with Harry. I've had a crush on the boy for about a year now, even though I haven't said a word to him yet.

It's just the way he walks around school, a little shy, but gorgeous as hell. He had beautiful dark brown curls and the most gorgeous green eyes, emerald green is the word people call that kind of green I guess, if there's even a word for that shade.

The way 2 of the cutest dimples appear whenever he smiles and just his smile on its own, just breathtaking.

Of course, he could just be an ass, I would be very surprised, but he could just be the biggest dork at this school. No, even that is actually impossible.

For as far as I heard about him, he's great. Lottie told me all about Harry yesterday when she went on her date with Niall, which turned out not to be that much of a date.

God, I was jealous of her. She just spent the entire evening talking to Harry. He did have a girlfriend though, Taylor was her name I guess.

So yeah, I didn't really have a chance. They just radiate 'power couple vibes'.

My goal for this year is to, most importantly, pass.

Then make sure I have a great time and get wasted a couple of times, but I'm sure Zayn would take care of that.

Be a good football captain. Well, I have been captain for 4 years now and even after not going to practice for 4 months, coach David still asked me to be captain again. So I guess that means I must be doing something right. It could be just because he feels sorry, but for my own sake, I'm gonna think otherwise.

That's by the way also something I was stressed out about to go and see the lads again. I don't know what they'll say or what they'll do.

Except for some Get well soon! messages I didn't really hear anything from any of my boys, except for Zayn of course. But that was actually my fault because I told them not to visit. I told them that glanders was contagious, which is actually true, so I only partially lied.

Of course, Zayn knew about everything that's also why he was the only one that could visit.

"Louis! Are you done? You have already been blowdrying your hair for 20 minutes! How dry can hair get??", Lottie yelled angrily from behind the door of our bathroom that she and I shared.

"I'll be out in a minute, geez!", I yell back, although we both know that's not true.

"I'll give you 30 seconds!", Lottie shouts back.

Wow, she's moody today. But yeah, I couldn't say that I wasn't a little on edge today too.

For my outfit, I chose some regular black jeans and a plain white shirt. I obviously showered and washed my hair this morning. I just started using a new shampoo that smelled like strawberries and well... pineapple, for some weird reason, because it wasn't on the bottle.
