The Unexpected Deception

Chapter 26

Lisa's POV

"Shit man, we've got like a ton of homework for tomorrow," Louis complained as usual.

"Yeah, I completely agree!" I replied.

"Do the teachers even know that we have other classes also?!" I nearly shouted starting my homework in the cafeteria while the others were flirting, eating, eating each others faces... Ugh.

"Hey guys," Niall said and pulled the chair beside me.

"Hey!!!" I shouted as Louis took a piece of my pizza. Almost the whole cafeteria turned and looked at me. I saw Zayn doing the same. He winked at me and laughed.

"Thanks Lise," Louis said pinching my nose.

"That's not funny. I embarrassed myself,"

I continued doing my homework because as far as I know Louis, I know that it is practically impossible to win an argument against him. I simply chuckled at this thought. I was working when suddenly someone patted my shoulder from behind. I turned and surprisingly saw Harry.

"Lisa, can we talk?" he asked sounding quite serious.

"Harry, get your hand off her and fucking leave!" Niall nearly shouted.

"Relax Niall, it's ok. Let's go Harry. Niall, I'll tell you about it later ok?" I said trying to calm him down, got up and followed Harry outside the cafeteria.

"So?" I asked him when we were alone.

" I- I just wanted to ask you if you were alright?" he said scratching the back of his neck.

"Why?" I asked him quite confused.

"You know... The new Bryce kid thing and all," he said while being a bit nervous.

"Oh this. Yeah, it's alright. I'll deal with it," I said.

"Ok, good to know it. So, bye. I'll see you later," Harry said smiling and sped off.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"No! No! No! No! No!" Niall nearly shouted.

We were back in the apartment. Zayn dropped us home. He said that he would not be able to call me tonight, as he usually does because he is having late family dinner. It was completely fine with me. And I just told Niall something in which I need his help to do. But I guess he is not taking it well.

"Have you lost it?! I'm never going to do that! Never in a million years!" he shouted and gave me a tiny slap on my head.

"Shut up! Do you want the whole building to hear you?" I said

"But Lisa, either you have seriously lost it or maybe you're sick? Let me check!" he said placing his hand on forehead.

"I'm not sick Ni. I really want do it. I have to know," I replied.

"I know you want to know but breaking into the school in the middle of the night to do that! You serious?" Niall nearly shouted.

"Yeah, I also don't think it's a good idea bu-"

"Exactly! It's not a good idea! NOT. AT. ALL." Niall said interrupting me.

"But Ni, I really have to find out about this Bryce. And believe me, it's the only way left. I tried to find out about him but in vain. Everyone only knew that his name was Bryce. Nothing else. It's eating me inside," I said tears threatening to flow.

"Ya bu-" Niall said.

"Pleeeeeeeeeease," I said.

I kept pleading and convincing him for more than an hour. Niall finally accepted defeat and agreed.
