Louis's POV

'What if I begin to grow feelings for her?'

I instantly pushed it aside, not wanting to deal with that thought right now. It was a bit much for me to handle at the time. It was almost like, I was...scared of the answer. It was like, I wanted to know the answer, but I also didn't. Pretty soon my head started hurting, so I got up and left Daire's room, and walked quietly back to my room for the night. I cleared my mind and fell into a deep sleep, not wanting school tomorrow.

--in the morning--

Daire's POV

I woke up in my bed, which surprised me because I remember falling asleep on the couch...

Anyways.

I get up and drag my feet to the bathroom. I took my shower with the water real hot, so it would wake me up more. Then I stepped out and wrapped the towel around my body and walked back to my room. I threw on my destroyed dark wash skinny jeans and a white tank top with scattered sequins, and then my jean jacket. I put my hair in a fishtail braid and did my make up. I went downstairs, decided on skipping breakfast, and slipped on my sandals before rushing out the door. I could see Louis had already left. I was eager yet scared to see what would happen today, with me now being friends with the most popular guys in school.

When I arrived, I parked, and got out of my car. I looked around and saw Liam walking over towards me.

"Hey, Daire! Come talk with me and the boys!" he said.

"Okay!" I said with a smile. He grabbed my hand and we skipped into the school, to where the rest of them were standing like 5 year olds. Everyone was glaring at me. I mean, come on, who wouldn't? You've got this teenage dirtbag (A/N: "Im just a teenage dirtbag baby...") chilling with 5 popular kids. See the problem? But then there was a bigger problem.

Jessie was walking over.

"Hheeyyyyy Louis," she cooed. "What are y'all talkin' about? Oh, look who's trying to fit in. Ya frickin' slut. You don't belong with them, I do," she sneered right at me. Ouch, that hurt.

"Leave her alone, Jessie!" Zayn shot.

"Yeah, if you don't like her, then I suggest you leave," Niall agreed. It felt amazing to have people stand up for me.

"Whatever. You better watch your back, bitch." She spat. Jessie then shoved me, and walked off. Zayn helped me back up and Harry grabbed my books.

"Are you okay Daire!??" Louis asked frantically, still mad about Jessie.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm okay!" I said. The bell rang and we all went to our classes. Everything was normal, boring. When lunch came, I of course sat with the boys. We just casually talked. Lunch was over, and we headed off to finish school for today.

I had English class with Harry, but also with Jessie. When the teacher wasn't paying attention, someone passed me a note. I opened it up:

'You know they're not actually you're friends. No one likes you. Just die. -Jessie'

She just doesn't give up does she? That message was just too much. I passed it to Harry so he could see it and I ran to the bathroom. I heard the teacher yelling at me but I didn't care. I was done with Jessie. Didn't she realize that I want to die anyway, and just give up? I sat in the corner of the bathroom and cried. I heard other girls walk into the bathroom talking, and I was positive they heard me.

"Um...are you okay?" One of them asked.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I said. I knew my makeup was all messed up, and I probably looked like a raccoon.

They sat beside me and tried to comfort me. After a while, I had stopped crying. They said their names were Perrie and Danielle. We exchanged phone numbers and I had gone back to class.

When I walked back into class, I only had 5 minutes left. Harry looked at me with worried eyes and I whispered to him to text me. He nodded and smiled. Soon enough, the bell rang, and we headed off to home.
