Nerd In A New World (ONE DIRECTION AU)

Chapter 4

It's now Wednesday and Louis and I have officially become public in school. We now sit next to each other in every class. Also, Harry and Louis have become good friends. Liam hasn't been in school so far and Louis talked to Andy. They're good, and so lately Andy has been hanging out with us. He's a really cool guy. He also likes Barcelona but he also said he likes my second favorite club which is Manchester City. That's how Andy and I mainly bonded. The only thing that still pisses me off though is that Jordon and David are still pricks and freaking Sophia has slapped me at least twice everyday and each time Niall or Louis holds me back from beating the shit out of her. Louis, Niall, Harry, and I were talking last night and thinking if Liam transferred schools. But I guess that isn't true now that I see him walking down the hallway towards me. I hate that Niall or Louis or anyone isn't with me right now at my locker.
"Hey." Liam said. I just ignored him, "Look, I get it. Everyone hates me. I'm coming to realization that Louis and Andy were my only real friends. Sophia still thinks we are together when I told her several times that we aren't. The only friend I have right now is Andy. I know you became friends with him and-"
"Liam, just stop talking." I shut my locker, "I don't want to hear your sappy story or whatever. We all get that you are sorry. No one can forgive you right now though. Louis, he's trying. He just can't pull through with it though. You've done too much damage to everyone. Give back every once in awhile and start to earn our forgiveness back. All I know is that it is going to take awhile."
"Ok, well, can I at least ask you how Louis is doing? Is he getting better?" He asked.
"Yes. He's only in a little pain after practice. He got a lot of rest over the weekend so that helped."
"Ok, thanks for letting me know." Liam grinned.
"Hey babe." Louis kissed me on the cheek.
"I-I-I-" Liam stuttered.
"Liam." Louis said.
"I'll just go." He walked past us. I turned and faced Louis.
"So he didn't transfer." He grinned.
"No." I chuckled.
"What was that all about?" He wondered.
"He said that he realized who his real friends are. He officially broke up with Sophia for good. Also he asked how you were doing."
"At least he's trying."
"He also said he has like no friends now. I know what that feels like Lou. It sucks." I told him.
"I know, but he needs to know what everyone else went through while he hurt everyone. No ones is going to hurt him. I just want to wait like a week. I'll have a five minute conversation with him next week. My coach just talked to me that Liam and I are now co-captains so this will be interesting." He smiled.
"Wait you're now captain?"
"Co-captain, but yeah." He nodded.
"That's awesome!" I gave him a kiss.
"C'mon, we should get to class." Louis said and held my hand. We headed to class.
"Oh so guess what I'm going to ask my parents for my birthday." I smiled at him.
"What?" He wondered.
"If I can be me. I don't want to wear my hair up, and cover my tattoos, and decide whether or not to wear my glasses."
"That's great. It's also simple. It's not like asking them for something big."
"Yeah. Oh! Maybe I could ask if I could get another tattoo?!" I smiled big.
Louis chuckled slightly, "Now don't push it for them. You don't even know how much they'll like you asking the first thing."
"True. I'll wait till Christmas."
"Oh you celebrate Christmas?"
"What? Yeah, don't you?" I questioned.
"No, I'm Jewish." He said as we walked into class.
"Well, ok. I didn't know that."
"I'm just kidding. No, I love Christmas." He laughed. I elbowed him, "Ow!"
"That was your rib wasn't it? I'm sorry." I kissed him.
"It's ok. It didn't hurt that bad." He chuckled as we sat down, "Do you know what I've realized these past few days. Well some of the days. You've been putting your hair into a braid."
"Yeah, my parents are ok with that. As long as it's not too distracting during my work." I chuckled and so did Louis.
"Literally that's what they say?"
"Literally, well we actually both started to do something different with our hair."
"Oh what? The quiff? Yeah I did this a lot last year but I got lazy after awhile. I started to feel like doing it again. What do you like better, quiff or fringe?" He asked.
"I mean, I like both. But Friday you wore a beanie and I like it when you wear a beanie." I smiled.
"Well good. Once it starts getting colder out, which should be soon, I wear them a lot more." We both got a chuckle out of that. I saw Liam walk in. Everyone stared at him because he still had the black eye that I gave him.
"Oi! Liam! How'd you get the black eye?" A guy asked then laughed with a few other people.
"I deserved it." Liam sat down and pulled his book out. He looked at Louis and I. Louis looked at me.
"I'll talk to him sooner then next week. He's now being bullied and I didn't exactly want that. I thought he was just going to be lonely." Louis told me.
"I didn't want him being bullied either. It's because of the black eye. Damn my anger management issues. I could've stopped right after I flipped him."
Louis chuckled, "It's ok."
"Liam, did karma actually come around and beat you up?" Two kids that I saw Liam bully once walked in.
"Oi! Shut it you two!" Louis told them. Both of them sat down in silence. Louis and I looked at Liam. He was looking down but he had a small grin on his face.
