[Harry's p.o.v]

It's Monday first hour and I'm in class with Liam and Niall. We have geography but actually we are all not really paying attention. It's about biodiversity or something so, yeah, that's kind of boring. Especially with old Mr. Robertson talking so monotonously and writing way too much on the chalkboard.

On the ride to school we also explained everything to Niall. He, of course, already knew about the Diana story but somehow didn't like the fact that he hadn't witnessed all the drama. He is a big drama queen himself so of course he always wants to know everything.

Liam and I also talked about it some more and of course I'm not angry with him anymore because now I understand it all.

I haven't seen Louis yet today so I hope that, as he promised, he will still be a bit friendly with us today.

"Mr. Styles, what is the answer to question 3 b?"

Oh shit I didn't pay attention at all. I see I'm even on the wrong page.

"Sorry, I don't know sir."

"Would you pay attention, otherwise I'll have to give you detention."

"Of course, I'm sorry." The whole class is now looking at me of course but they can't blame me for not paying attention because they aren't even paying attention themselves. I even see that Lucas is sleeping, I hope our teacher doesn't see that because he always gets really angry when someone falls asleep, and that happens quite often....

I'm walking in the hallways. Geography is finally done but I forgot my book for history in my locker so I'll go get it now. Liam has already gone to the classroom so he can find a good place for us to sit together. By now I know my way around the school very well so it's no problem at all to find my locker and it's not too far from the history classroom either.

The hallway is almost completely empty but to my surprise I see Louis standing there. He's still standing pretty close to my locker so I might just go say something to him....

"Hi Louis!"

"Oh, hi Harry! What are you doing here?"

"Just getting my history book. I forgot it and it's not that far away so I came to pick it up but why are you here?"

"Waiting for Luke. He's really slow but he had to go to the bathroom before class started."

"Bye." he suddenly says and then quickly leaves. I see that Luke is there so maybe that's why he suddenly left so quickly. I try to put it out of my mind. I grab my book from my locker and just head to the classroom. There I see Liam already sitting somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's the best seat but Liam likes to sit in the middle of the class so I'm fine with it. I sit down next to him and try to follow the class. It's only a few more hours of class and then it's already lunch time....

Niall is already sitting at our usual table with his sandwich. Liam and I are just arriving so we go and get a quick sandwich. I pick one with cheese and vegetables and Liam chooses one with ham and vegetables. They look very tasty so we eat everything quickly. When we are done and want to go outside Louis and Zayn suddenly appear in the cafeteria with their friends.

"Hi Louis and Zayn."

"Hi, Harry," says Zayn back.

"What does he want from us?" someone I don't know asks Louis.

"The weirdos." says someone else.

"What do you want, Harry." says Louis to me meanwhile looking at us like we've been living in a dumpster our whole lives.

"Uh, I thought we could have a little chat with you guys."

All his friends start laughing, including Louis.

The only one not laughing is Zayn. He just looks at his friends a little weird. I've always liked Zayn the most....

"Do you really think you guys are allowed to talk to us?" says someone named Stan I think.

"Do you guys really think we're friends or something?" says another person.

I look desperately at Louis, hoping that he will suddenly start being friendly again and tell his friends to act normal, but of course he doesn't. He's still looking at us with that same look. What was I thinking, of course he wasn't going to act friendly with his friends around. They think Niall is weird, they think Liam is a nerd and I'm the new kid who doesn't know anything about the neighbourhood or the kids yet so I'm the one they can do anything to.

I can't take this anymore so I just run away. They're probably laughing at me right now and I've only made it worse but I don't really care that much. I seriously thought that Louis had changed and that he was going to be friendly with me but it looks like I was totally wrong...

I arrived at the restrooms. There I sit down in the back toilet, I lock the door, and I start to cry.

I'm completely done with Louis. All he does is make me cry. I keep repeating in my head that I don't like him and that I'm really tired of him, but actually I don't manage to hate him very well. I don't know what it is, but Louis just has something that makes me unable to hate him. I just keep liking him...

After a while, I hear the door to the restrooms open.

"Harry, are you in here?" I hear Liam ask.

I don't know if I should answer because somewhere I would just rather be alone but they are my best friends so maybe they can cheer me up a bit because if I sit here alone it's only going to get worse anyway.

I get up and open the door.

"Yeah, I'm here. I'm sorry..."

"For what should you be sorry, Harry. We were just a little worried, that's all."

Liam suggests that I just go to class so I can take my mind off things and after school Niall and I will just go to Liam's house. Then we'll order pizza there and watch a movie. I think that's a great idea because I don't want to think about what just happened anymore and there's no better way to take your mind off things than hanging out with friends.

Liam, Niall and I are sitting in Liam's bed. We're watching a funny movie, but I don't really think that it's funny. The pizza is fine, but I'm actually not vey hungry so I only ate two slices of it.

I keep thinking about Louis and actually I don't even really understand why. It's not like we were such good friends so why do I care so much that he doesn't like me?

I think that Liam and Niall also realize that not everything is going completely well with me because they have asked a few times if I'm fine, but then I just say that everything is okay and that I'm just a little tired. That's not entirely a lie because I am indeed a little tired, but it's also not entirely the truth.

Normally I would find the movie pretty funny, but I can't really bring myself to laugh. When Liam and Niall laugh at something, I just laugh along, but that's actually so they think everything is really fine with me.

I just try to focus on the movie, even though I can't do that very well, but after a while I just fall asleep because I'm so tired from this day. Louis only tells me lies....
