"There are the losers again," says Lucas pointing at Liam, Niall and Harry.

"Why did they think we would ever want to be friends with them." adds Jasper, laughing.

"They are really not that bad, actually..." Zayn says.

"Come on, Zayn. You can't be serious. This is a joke right?" Jasper asks Zayn in disbelief.

"No, it's not. I think that they could be pretty nice actually."

"Just because you guys used to be friends doesn't mean you have to still think they're okay now, Zayn. Everyone thinks they're weird so..."

"Whatever."

The bell rings and we leave for our class. Zayn and I have class together now so it's going to be fun.

"Why didn't you stick up for them, Louis? I thought you guys had made up and that you did want to be friends with Harry?"

"Yeah, Zayn, we had made up but I just don't think I should be talking to them."

"I'm not saying you should become best friends with them, but you just shouldn't start talking about them like that and you're still not acting friendly with them. At all."

"I just don't know, Zayn. For some reason I don't want to talk to them, but somewhere I do want to do that and just be friends with them. Especially with Harry actually..."

"Then why don't you just go talk to him?"

"I don't know, Zayn. I really don't know. I-I just can't, I guess?"

"Be quiet everyone and take your books please." Interrupts Ms. Evans, our Maths teacher, us.

Right now we have two hours of football practice. In a few weeks, we have a match so we really need to practice. The only thing that I don't like about football is that I'm in the same team as Nick...

We really can never stand each other, and that's not different when we have football.

He really wanted to be captain, but I became the captain of our team so that didn't make it better.

We're just warming up at the moment. That's really important and I take it really seriously. First we run some rounds, today we run 5. After that we just stretch a bit and then we just do some exercises.

"Come here, everyone!" Our coach says to us. "You can all start with some self defense exercises and then we'll do a game. Choose a partner who's about as tall and strong as you are!"

Of course I go with Zayn. We start with some self defense exercises and after that we just do some mini-games with each other. After like, half an hour, we start with a games and after that we do a match with the whole team.

I'm in a team with Zayn, Calum, Josh, Stan, Lucas, Niall, Jasper and Noah.

The coach hands out coloured vests to put on over our jersey.

Our team got red and the other team got yellow.

I don't really have a place in the match. Sometimes I stand in the middle of the field, but I can also stand at the other teams goal to try to score a goal. That's mostly because I'm the captain, but I don't mind that 'cause I like having the control of everything.

Our coach takes a coin from the pocket of his gray sweatpants to see who gets to start. Our team unfortunately picked the wrong side, so the other team gets to start. I make sure I'm pretty close to the ball, because Nick gets to start.

Nick and I don't like each other anyway, but when playing soccer, it's still a little worse. Everyone in the team knows it, because we can't do a single practice without fighting, but they've gotten used to it, I guess.

We'll be alright  [L.S.]Where stories live. Discover now
