Summer Love

Chapter 2-The Appeal

LOUIS' POV

  I'm so excited for today because we're playing football, or soccer as they call it. This is hands down my favourite sport and I think I'm pretty good at it. I hope I impress Eleanor with football because I've heard that girls are attracted to guys who play sports. 

ELEANOR'S POV

  As we got sorted into our teams for soccer, I realized that I was on the opposing team of Harry, Niall, and Liam. That is definitely not good news because they are the kings of soccer. They will destroy me. Louis is also on their team which bums me out but hey, it gives me another excuse to look at him so..yeah. I have no shame. Let's just get this game over with and hope I don't get stampeded over..

"Hey Liam, pass!" Louis shouted

Liam kicked the ball horizontally across the court and Louis dribbled along with no problem. 

"Louis, over here!" Niall hollered. 

Just as the ball came in contact with Niall's foot, he shot the ball straight towards the upper left corner of the net. The goalie did not see it coming and once again, the boys had earned another point for their team.

"Damn Louis, you're really good at this. Do you play often?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I play in a league back in England. We're not professional though," Louis replied.

"Wow, yeah, you should come play with us some time," Harry pointed out, gesturing to the other 2 boys, Niall and Liam. 

"That sounds cool, I'll catch up with you later though, I gotta go get some water"

"Sure, bye mate."

LOUIS' POV

As I walked over to the bench, a group of maybe 5 girls came up to me and started talking to me very weirdly. They kept looking at me with hunger in their eyes like I was a hamburger or something. I got a little uncomfortable because the way they were presenting themselves was abnormal and strange. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, I must have missed something they said.

"Hello? Did you hear me?" the one in the front said.

"Oh sorry what? I zoomed out for a second there," I replied.

"Yeah whatever, my name is Catherine. This is Addie, my best friend, and these are the rest of my friends."

"Oh um it's nice to meet you," I said, hoping they would take the hint and leave.

"Anyway, you're performance out there today was great. I didn't know you could play soccer like that," Catherine pointed out. 

"Thank you, I'm okay I guess"

"Oh my god, you're accent is so hot, I love British men."

ELEANOR'S POV

Oh my goodness. It's the bitch squad talking to Louis. UGH why do they have to go after him, now I probably don't have a chance. I look over at Louis and I see that he seems extremely uncomfortable which makes me feel better I guess. Just as I was about to look away, his daze falls onto me and we just stare at each other and smile for about 3 seconds until he finally says something.

"Hey El! I've been meaning to look for you!" Louis exclaims and he starts making his way towards me.

As he is walking, I look over and the entire bitch squad is giving me hard, cold, dirty looks and I figure it's because I just took away their little boy toy, but honestly, I couldn't care less.

"Hi Louis, how was that experience for ya?" I teased.

"Oh god, it was so weird! They kept giving me these weird looks, twirling their hair, and I think one of them just said they like me..I dunno, she said she liked British guys and that she liked my accent," he explained.

"Haha, well, they probably just want to have you as their next little play toy until they find someone else," I told him truthfully.

"Well, don't worry, I would never fall for someone like that anyway," Louis responded while looking at me.

"Good," I answered, also fixing my eyes to look at his. It was the first time I really looked at his eyes and I realized how beautiful they were. They were bluer than the oceans and sparkled in the sunset. Me looking in his eyes, and him looking back in mine, made me think that there was a moment there.

"Well, I better get going, Crystal is probably waiting for me. I can't wait to see you tomorrow, bye love." Louis finally said.

"Yeah of course bye" I replied, a little flustered that he called me love. Just something about the tone and the way it sounds in his accent is really special.

CATHERINE'S POV

Wow okay, that little runt thinks she can steal away my future boyfriend? I don't think so. I'm one of the most popular girls here, I always get the guys I want and this time it's not going to be any different. Tomorrow, me and my girls are going to give her a talking to, then she'll know her place around here.
