Who Would Have Known

Chapter 3

I woke up to hear loud banging noises coming downstairs, signalling that my mother and sisters were already awake.

I walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower, all the way to hot. I step into the glass shower, the water begins to cascade down my back. The hot water instantly relaxes my muscles. By the time my shower is over the whole bathroom smells of my cologne scented body wash and shampoo.

I quickly dry my hair with my towel before wrapping it around my waist. I walk into my room and go straight to the dresser, pulling out a pair of black, skinny sweatpants and a red crew neck sweatshirt. I brush my hair to the side, already knowing it will stick up in random places once it's dry.

I check the weather on my phone as I put everything into my football bag. It's supposed to rain again, practice is only cancelled if there is lightning, which there was yesterday.

I grab a grey beanie off the top of my dresser before sliding my bag over my shoulder and walk downstairs.

I see my mother sitting at the counter, rubbing her temples. My sisters are sitting around the table, surprisingly not arguing.

"Louis can you pick up food for you and your sisters again after practice?" My mother asks, glancing up from her computer.

"Sure," I reach over and pick up an apple.

"Get food from the same place as last night." Lottie yells as I walk towards the door. The rest of the girls all agree with her so I nod my head.

That would mean that I would see Harry again, other than in school. I liked the idea of that.

The drive to Maya's was faster than I had hoped, I dreaded seeing her. Soon she exits her house and jogs over to my car, climbing in. I start the car up and drive away before she can even attempt to kiss me.

I'm glad when we reach the school quickly.

"I'm going to stay in the car for a minute I have to call my mum," I say to her as she reaches for the car handle.

"Okay, see you later babe," she leans in to kiss but I pull her into a hug instead, pinning her arms to her sides.

"Bye," I say staring over her shoulder, probably more uncomfortable than she is.

I'm relieved once she leaves the car without objecting. I stay in the car for a few more seconds, making sure she enters the school before getting out of the car myself.

I walk immediately to my group of friends, standing in the same spot as usual. As soon as I walk up next to Liam he turns and gives me a worried look.

"Can I talk to you?" He said, chewing on his lip. I nod my head and follow him into the opposite hallway which is nearly empty, with only a few people talking quietly in the corner.

"I don't want you to be mad but Maya has been spreading rumors about you two again." He says quietly once we stop.

"What is she saying now?" I groan, rolling my eyes. This isn't the first time she had spread rumors about us. The first time was the first day we were dating when she told her friends that I let her blow me in the bathroom right after she asked me out. It obviously wasn't true, but I didn't bother saying anything, knowing it wouldn't help.

"She's saying you two had sex last night."

"Of course she is," I scoff, crossing my arms.

"It isn't true right?" He asks looking up at me, a nervous expression on my face.

"No, of course not. Liam I would tell you."

"I know but I just don't want you making a mistake like I did."
