Life Goes On (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 20

Kira's Pov

"Kira" I hear Toria's voice mumble over my noisy alarm.

"Hmm" I groan back, wondering what she needs this early in the morning.

"Your alarm has been ringing for thirty minutes. Turn it off" she says sleepily and my eyes fling open.

Oh my god it's Monday and I have to get to class or I'll be late! I quickly launch my self out of bed and speedily get dressed, mentally cursing myself for waking up this late. I have to be out of here in 10 minutes so after I brush my teeth, I swiftly pull my hair up into a messy bun and throw on a t-shirt and sweat pants. I literally look like crap but at this point, I don't really care. I just can't believe I was up until 2 am helping Leah with Sia's surprise party. I had no idea that so many things needed to get done but according to Leah, 'everything must be perfect.' I like how Leah is putting a lot of thought into Sia's party, but I don't understand why she's rushing to get everything done when she still has plenty of time. It shouldn't take too long to finish everything because Leah only invited a few of their closest friends. After all, how many people are able to fit into one tiny dorm?

I forcefully throw on a random pair of shoes and then rush over to grab my school bag from beside my bed.

"Crap" I shout when I trip over one of Toria's high heeled shoes and fall flat on my face. I hear Toria laughing heavily in the background, causing me to groan and stand up. I thought she was sleeping?

"Why does this always happen?" I huff and reach for my school bag, making sure nothing is on the ground this time.

"Don't worry about it" she says while continuing to laugh at me.

"I'm glad I amuse you" I say and playfully roll my eyes at her. "Thanks for the support" I add, sarcastically.

"You're welcome" she grins while lying back into her bed to continue sleeping. "Why don't you just not go today?" She yawns while pulling the blanket back over her.

"I can't just not go" I say and glance at the clock. Shit. "I need to leave!" I chirp and quickly scramble out of the dorm.

"Welcome to class, Kira" Professor Tomlinson calmly says as I enter class five minutes late. He has no sarcasm in his voice and he's neither angry nor upset.

"I'm sorry" I say nervously, not sure what else to say to him as I'm taken aback by his calm behavior.

"It's alright, I'm sure you had a good reason. Just don't make it a habit" he says with a smile, causing my shoulders to relax.

"I won't" I say and make my way to my normal seat in the very back. I'm so thankful that he's so calm and understanding or else I wouldn't know what I'd do. I've always known he was less strict than my other teachers but I didn't expect him to be this tolerant.

"Where were you? I thought you weren't coming?" Sia whispers as soon as I take a seat beside her.

"I stayed up late w-" I say but stop myself once I notice Leah shaking her head with wide eyes, clearly telling me not to continue. Shoot, I forgot Sia isn't suppose to know about the party. I'm glad Leah stopped me before I had a chance the finish.

"I um... I was with...uhm Toria!... Yeah with Toria and I...forgot to set my alarm last night..." I say and mentally slap myself for not knowing how to lie like a normal human being.

"Oh" she says without suspicion causing me and Leah to let out a breath of relief. Thank goodness she bought it. How? I'm not sure but she did, fortunately for us.

"Okay class settle down" Professor Tomlinson says and takes a seat on top of his desk. I honestly can't believe how young he is.. He's got to be less than 30 years old for sure.
