Predator

Rachel's P.O.V.

I wasn't buying it at all.

"Well firstly you start asking 'how do I know if I like someone?' " I told her, still smirking.

She seemed really nervous for some reason.

"So is it Luke?" I asked softly.

She jumped up off of the couch suddenly.

"You know what, it doesn't matter" she mumbled, running a hand through her hair.

I frowned.

"What do you mean-" I began but she ignored me.

"I'm gonna go get ready for bed..." she marched off straight to the bathroom.

I was left standing there, extremely shocked.

"Skylar!" I called her but there was no reply.

Okay, well that was weird.

When she came out of the bathroom, she went straight to bed, so I wasn't given a chance to question her further.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was the first to wake up the next morning.

I had a quick shower and got changed into a pair of denim shorts and a pink t-shirt that said 'Live' on it in black writing.

I checked my phone quickly as I piled my dirty clothes at the bottom of my bed - I'd sort them out later.

Shit! I was going to be late for my first class.

I sprinted out the door, feeling my headache coming on. I had a cup of tea every morning to satisfy my need for caffeine.

Running the whole way to my class, I was well out of breath when I finally got there.
I relaxed a little once I was sitting in my seat.

At least I had no classes on Thursday. For some reason I had a completely free day Thursday. Which was strange but good.

My classes went by surprisingly quick, thankfully enough. After I had caught up with Tricia for some dinner (after which she conveniently disappeared) I headed off to Harry's room. Our room was empty and I was pretty bored.

I knocked on the door impatiently. I wasn't very fond of the long walk over here.
When eventually the door did open, it revealed Louis.

"Hey Rach" he gave me a cheery grin.

"Hi.. is Harry here?" I wasn't sure why, but I was feeling a little awkward around him.

He shook his head slowly.

"Emm no, he's gone out.. I don't think he'll be back for a while, sorry" he told me.

"Oh right, okay" I replied softly, looking down.

"Do you wanna come in though anyways? I was just about to watch a movie" he stood back
a little to give me access to the room.

I didn't really need to think about it.

I walked in past him and into the room.

I plopped down on the first bed I saw, hoping it was Harry's.

"So what movie we watching?" I asked, as he sat down next to me.

"Well I was just gonna watch Predator. But you know if you'd like to watch something else we could-"

"Predator sounds fine. I've never seen it before so it should be interesting" I replied casually.

And so that's what we watched. It was scary enough but nothing I couldn't handle.

Harry still wasn't back by the time it was over, even though it was starting to get dark.

Although I was pretty sure he wouldn't approve of the idea of me and Louis in a room alone together, in the dark, I decided to stay for another movie.

This time we watched The Lion King.

I was pretty sure this was my DVD. Harry must of put it in his bag by accident.

I absolutely adored the movie. However halfway through it, I felt my eyes start to droop. I leaned up against Louis for comfort.

He wrapped an arm around me carelessly and I felt myself relax more into him.

Before I knew what was happening my eyes were completely closed.

"Rach?" Louis voice was becoming faint.

I couldn't muster up enough strength to respond. College really was taking it out of me.

The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was "Oh shit"
