Falling (H.S. X L.T.)

Chapter Twenty

Louis' Pov.
God. I fucked it up with Harry. I shouldn't have done the dare. Things between us were so awkward now.

I just entered my first class and sat down beside Stan. Hopefully he wouldn't n-

"What's wrong?" Well there goes hoping he won't notice anything wrong. I sighed and turned slightly in his direction.

"I think I fucked it up with Harry." I rubbed a hand over my face in annoyance.

"How so?" Stan raised his eyebrows, questioning me.

"Well....we kinda maybe made-out.."

"What!?"

"Jesus! Calm yourself.." I chuckled at Stan's reaction.

"I'm going to need some details, how did it happen?" Stan interrogated, turning his whole body towards me.

"Well we were both drunk and it was for a dare, but now things are super awkward and tense." I sighed when I finished explaining the situation, watching the teacher walk in and sit at their desk.

"Is it sexual tension? Or does he seem creeped out by you?"

"Well I don't think he seemed uncomfortable, he didn't act creeped out. He just was silent and it was awkward."

"Haha he wants you to fuck him."

"Stan!"

"What?"

"Shut the fuck up and pay attention." I snapped, Stan chuckled at this and turned back towards the front. This class was honestly so boring so I couldn't help but let my thoughts wander to Harry.

Does he like me back? I've come to the realization that this is more than a small crush and I really really do like him- like a lot. You'd think that after being in highschool for 3 and a half years you would be able to tell when someone liked you. Funny. He seemed to enjoy the kiss though, I mean he moaned- then again we were both drunk, but being drunk doesn't completely change you; it just kinda gets rid of your filter. Ugh this is so complicated. I could just ask him, but then he might get creeped out. I mean all those times we almost kissed he seemed like he wanted to kiss me too. Even more so when we were at his house and then Gemma walked in. Heck we literally brushed our lips. Why do people have to be so god damn complicated.

My thoughts continued and before I knew it the bell was ringing and the teacher was dismissing us for our next class.

"Maybe talk to him at lunch? Or after school?" Stan suggested, walking out of the classroom with me.

"Yeah, I'll think about it. I might just let everything play out and see what happens." I pondered on the idea, that could be a good idea, then again it could also bite me in the ass.

"That's lame mate, you need to be bold. Shoot your shot, you only live once." Stan looked at me as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Before I could speak he did,

"I'll see you at lunch, gotta go to class. By Louis."

"Bye!" I called to a retreating Stan, waving as he jogged off to his own class.

Lunch couldn't come sooner.

I was walking down the hall when I bumped into someone, I looked up and apologized, seeing as it was a teacher.

"Oh! Louis I'm glad I ran into you!" They stated in a relieved tone.

"Uh- why is that?" I didn't mean to sound rude, I was just confused.

"Well, I'm Harry's math teacher and he's not doing so well, I suggested he get a senior to tutor him and asked if he preferred anyone specific. He said you." The teacher informed me, giving me a hopeful smile.

"Oh, okay. Well if you're asking me if I'll do it then of course I will." I smiled. Harry wanted me to tutor him. Hopefully now that I know he's not creeped out about what happened it won't be as hard to make conversation with him.

"Thank you Louis. You guys can either use the schools library, it's open until 6 on Thursdays, or just talk amongst each other if you want to do something different."

"Alright. We will probably just do it at one of our houses, but thank you." Me and the teacher said our goodbyes and I started heading to my next class. I can't tutor Harry today because I wanted to spend some time with my mom, we haven't done that in a while. Friday I will probably be dragged into some type of plans with either the lads or Stan. Thursday could work- that's tomorrow but it should be fine. We can do it at my house and it will be the perfect opportunity for him to meet my parents. I smiled at that thought. I hope they like him, then again who doesn't? He's so amazing.

The bell for lunch rang and I couldn't help myself, I almost jogged to the cafeteria. I was surprised to see that Harry was already in there, I practically ran here and he still beat me.

I didn't think about it any further as I sat down beside Harry, he gave me a smile and I returned it. It didn't seem as tense as it was this morning. That's good.

"So your math teacher talked to me." I brought up the topic.

"Ah, that." Harry breathed, he looked tired.

"Yeah, we can do some tutoring tomorrow if you want, just do it at my house." I suggested. Harry seemed to perk up at the idea.

"Yeah, that will be great."

"You seem quite excited." I noted, smirking at him.

He blushed and tried to make his face look natural.

"No, don't stop. It's cute." It slipped before I could stop it. Well I had to act all nonchalant now, can't let him know I literally have no idea that that was going to come out.

Harry blushed and shoved my shoulder lightly with his. I chuckled at his shy behavior.

"Hey you will get to meet my parents too." I pointed out. I scooted close to him ever so slightly.

"Oh cool, hopefully they like me." Harry tried to chuckle, but I could hear his nervousness hidden behind it.

"Harry, don't worry. They will love you." I caught Harry's eyes with my own, making eye-contact. He smiled lightly at me and continued almost- gazing? Into my eyes. Yeah that was the word. Gazing. Our moment was interrupted when Liam and Zayn sat down in front of us.

"Hey lovebirds." Liam greeted. Zayn snickered and sat down. Harry almost choked on his own saliva.

"Lovebirds?" He questioned, obviously embarrassed. I laughed to myself.

"What? Were you guys not about to kiss?" Liam looked genuinely confused when he asked this, looking between us with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Uh- no we um- we weren't." Saying those words tasted like poison on my tongue. I hated saying them. Zayn and Liam shared a look before starting a conversation with Harry. That got me thinking.

Did Harry know that Zayn and Liam were, dating? Fucking? I didn't know which one it was but I couldn't help but wonder if Harry knew since Liam had told Harry that he liked Zayn. Maybe I'll tell him later. I wanted to talk to Harry during lunch but him and Zayn and Liam were talking most of the time, conversation after conversation. I kinda just listened and put in a few comments here and there. I got to take the time to admire Harry. He was so pretty, I loved his eyes so much. And his nose. And his lips. God he was so attractive. Don't even get me started on his hair.

"Louis?" I snapped out of my trance- which i didn't even know I was in until Harry snapped his fingers in front of my face, getting my attention. 

"Uh- sorry... Yeah?" I sputtered. I hope he didn't catch me staring at him.

"The bell rang. It's time for gym." Harry informed, giving me a confused look. How did I not here the bell?

"Oh, alright, let's go then."
