"Zayn and Niall are coming; school is over" Liam said, looking up from his phone.  I merely grunted in response as I adjusted my pillow; we've spent all day in my room watching Netflix and we even had pizza delivered for lunch. All in all it was a pretty nice day, I've almost forgotten about...him.

I heard my front door open and close and I scuttled across my bed to grab the last slice of pizza, not wanting to share; as if he heard my thoughts I heard Niall say as he went up the stairs "I hope you saved some pizza for your guests, and don't say you don't have any because I can smell it!"

"Typical" Niall said sadly as he picked up the empty pizza box.  "Damn Louis, so rude; you heard people were coming over and you ate everything" Zayn said, staring at the slice of pizza in my hands "Even in front of a girl you're so rude!" "Girl? What girl?" I asked.  Zayn smiled and stepped aside, revealing that pretty girl from the party last week.

"Hey Louis" she said with a smile.  "Um... hello" I said, shooting Zayn a questioning look.  "You remember Eleanor" Zayn said, pulling up my computer chair to her so she can sit in it "You've been in such a weird mood lately, but I remembered how well you two got along".  "Zayn...you really shouldn't have" I said, meaning every word. 

Niall set down the pizza box that he'd been staring at like he lost a good friend before saying "You promised me pizza, Payne; I demand pizza or you shall feel the full fury of my Irish wrath!" Liam chuckled before getting up "Let's go downstairs and order some more, Tommo's treat".  "I don't want pizza, get me some pasta instead" Zayn said as all three left my room to head downstairs and closed the door behind them. 

I stared awkwardly at Eleanor before saying "So, what brings you down here from Manchester?" Eleanor got up from the chair and sat next to me on my bed "I was actually just doing some paperwork; wouldn't you believe that I got accepted into the Royal London Academy of Arts, Maths and Sciences! It's like of one of the best schools in England, if not all of Europe!" she said excitedly.

"Oh that's neat; you know, I go there too" I said; Eleanor scooted closer to me "Yeah? That's funny, it's like the universe wants to be...together" she said giving a flirty smile and tucking some of her hair behind her ear.  "Umm...yeah, funny how these things work out" I said, trying to be discrete about scooting away from her; but she followed me, slowly chasing me until I was against the wall. 

"It's so cute how shy you are" Eleanor said as she cornered me, she was close enough that I could smell her perfume.  She placed a hand on my knee "I was supposed to start today but I had to finish the transfer process, so my first day is tomorrow; it would be nice if you could me around".  I looked at her; she was coming on very strong and was being as subtle as a blind bull with a fly up its nose. 

Would it be the worst thing in the world to be with her though? They say that the best way to get over someone is to find someone else...I had to admit she was really pretty even if I felt absolutely nothing for her. 

"Sure I can show you around, I can even introduce you to some of my friends" I said giving a small smile.  Eleanor have a giggle "That'll be great, but a lot of my stuff is still in Manchester".  I nodded "That's alright we have to wear uniforms to school; you should have gotten the skirt and everything today, and if not we can go tomorrow morning to get them in the administration building".  Eleanor gave a large smile "We?"
