Stuck In High School with One Direction

Chapter Eleven

It was lunchtime, and Niall was staring at me from across the table. I gave him a small smile and continued picking at my mac and cheese.

"How does this even qualify as cheese?" Olivia made a face and dropped her fork which landed in the mac and cheese with a splat.

"Oh come on, you loved it when we were stuck in here." Louis laughed, picking up her fork and attempting to put it near her mouth.

"EW, get that away from me!" She shoved his hand away, sending the fork flying across the cafeteria. "Besides, WE didn't boil it, we put it in the oven!"

"They boil it?" Liam asked, his eyes wide, looking at the food.

"There's no other explanation as to why it looks this disgusting!" She shrugs. "Now look, I have no fork to eat my food with!"

"As if you wanted to eat this mess." Louis mumbles.

"Ahem." We all look up to see Emma standing at our table, her eyes fixed on Liam.

"Can we help you?" Maddie flashes her a fake smile.

"I just wanted to talk to Liam." She says, putting her hand on Liam's shoulder, and slides it down his chest. Liam pushes her hand off, looking up at her shocked.

"There's no way you're actually this delusional." I speak up. "He does not want you." 

"How about we speak, privately." Emma glares at me, as Liam swats her arm away. 

"I'm going to tell them what you said anyway so might as well say it in front of them." I shrug.

"WE have a deal."

"No I don't think we do."

"I told you to stay away."

"I didn't agree to it."

"Liam just needs to get to know me-"

"Does Liam have a say in this?" Liam asks and raises his hand, looking up at Emma.

"-And you're getting in the way of that."

"See, I don't think I am."

"There's no way you're believing the bullshit coming out of your mouth." Maddie laughs. "This has to be a prank."

"You shut up, no one was talking to you." Emma snaps. Maddie tilts her head.

"Excuse me?" She asks, getting up and stepping closer to Emma. Emma's friends immediately steps up behind her.

"You heard me." Emma smirks, crossing her arms.

"No, I don't think I did, why don't you repeat it?"

"Maddie, come on, step back." Diana steps up, pulling Maddie back.

"OH, Princess Diana to the rescue. As usual." One of Emma's friend mumbles. They all laugh.

"How about you shut up." I say, pushing my lunch tray away from me.

"Alright, this has gone on too long, let's all settle down." Harry gently pushes Maddie to sit down and stands in front of Emma. "Time for you to go." 

"I think that's best," Diana agrees, sighing.

"This isn't over." Emma huffs, spinning on her heel and walking away.

"Seriously, who the fuck talks like that?" Maddie throws her hands up and groans.

"Oh what I'd give to punch her stupid face just once." I slap the table, laughing.

"How about we don't do that?" Georgia says, finally speaking. She doesn't like violence. But then again, who really likes violence, especially if your friends are involved.
