Nerd In A New World (ONE DIRECTION AU)

Chapter 9

It's now Friday and surprisingly Sophia actually hasn't done anything. Well of that I've seen or heard. I haven't seen Liam since Monday. I don't know if he transferred schools or not. The team has a game on Monday and I hate to say it but the team needs Liam and Louis admits it too. Louis and I, well, everyday just gets rougher. But the furthest we got to was the same as Monday. Just now everything is deeper and rougher. Today I wore a v-neck with a push-up bra and Louis wanted to kill me. See, it's really easy for me to tease. Louis did surprise me with something yesterday and he did ask my parents first. He said that we are going to go to Manchester tonight and stay the night then go to the game the next day. Louis said he asked my dad when he told him about the tickets. He didn't even think about how we are going to be in a hotel, alone, for a whole night and no one can bother us. My teacher didn't show up to my last class so Harry went to work, and I decided to head out to the football field and watch the guys practice. Some of the other guys have girlfriends and they sit out here and wait until they are done with practice. I know that their practice is almost over because they are doing small scrimmages. Louis is doing amazing as always. Andy is still the solid defense that the team needs. David and Jordon, well they are still pricks but the team needs them. They are the team's fastest wings. Midfielders or forwards, they are great in those positions. But if Liam doesn't show then the team is going to lose their second striker. Jordon can play the position just not as well. Plus Liam's height gives the team advantage when it comes to corner kicks and he can head the ball in. Louis just scored a goal and as he was heading back to his position he saw me and smiled. He looked down at his watch because he probably thought that practice was running longer and didn't think that my teacher didn't show. The coach blew his whistle. The team circled up and the coach talked with them. He pointed at Louis. Then the coach ended the practice but held Louis back. The girlfriends of other guys got off the bleachers as the guys came over. Well that's surprising. Somehow David has a girlfriend. I feel bad for her. I looked back to where Louis is and he had his head down when his coach was talking to him. Louis was nodding. Then his coach smiled. There has to be some kind of good news then. He patted Louis on the shoulder. Louis was about to jog over then his coach held him back for another minute. Louis nodded a few more times. The coach patted Louis' shoulder and started to walk away. Louis jogged over to me and I walked over to him. He gave me a hug and kiss.
"How are you out early? Did you cut class?" He asked with a small chuckle.
"No, our teacher didn't show up." I smiled.
"Ok." Louis chuckled then took my hand and we started to head towards the school, "Oh, guess what?!"
"What?"
"I'm now the only captain. Now coach didn't say that Liam transferred. He told me that Liam won't be playing in Monday's match so that's why I'm now captain. The thing that sucks though is that means the team has to change the formation or Jordon is my second striker. I hate it when he plays second striker because he ends up playing my position and then I drop back to second because I don't want to let the team down. I'm the nice one out of all our forwards." He ranted but then smiled.
"Well it's good that you are captain but sometimes it is what it is." I grinned.
"Did you really just use one of my own tattoos against me?" He smiled.
"Well I have that tattoo also." I told him.
"Well I haven't seen it." He raised his eyebrows.
"How about you see it tonight? When we are in Manchester all alone in our own quiet and parentless room, where we can be care free and do whatever we want." He looked at me.
"Tonight? Are you sure?"
"Mmhmm." I smiled.
"Ok." He smiled and gave me a kiss as we walked into school.
"Tommo! I got a call that I don't have to come in to work today and my parents aren't home! Party at my place!" Andy shouted then ran past us. He's still in his football stuff. Louis and I chuckled.
"Do you want to go for a little bit then head to Manchester?" Louis asked.
"Sure." I shrugged.
"I'll let Niall, Harry, and Zoe know." Louis smiled.
"Well, I'm not sure Harry will come because he has work."
"True. Oh, maybe this is when we can finally try to get Zoe and Niall together?!"
"Yes!" I smiled. I gave him a kiss, "Lou, please go shower. You smell horrible." I told him.
"Ok, I'll meet you back at your locker in a few." He smiled then let go of my hand and headed off to the locker room. I love him in his football stuff. He's also so happy when he plays. He loves it. I hope he gets the call from Chelsea. I want him to play professional. He's really good and he deserves it. I started to head to my locker. I texted my mom that I won't be home when she's home because I'm gonna be gone by then.
"Skye." Jordan and David have me against a wall right now.
"Isn't she just precious David?" Jordon smiled. My arms are pinned.
"She is. Now I know why Tommo has gotten so soft and is a try-hard now. Trying to impress her." David said.
"Well don't forget Monday as he beat Payno down." Jordon said sarcastically.
"What do you mean? Why are you being so sarcastic?" I asked them.
"Oh Payno, he's like our bitch. We made him into what he was. When we saw you beat him down, we thought we should get inside their heads and make Liam look like he's trying to be a good guy and say sorry. Payno really is like Tommo but we make him be what he's not." David explained.
"Why?" I wondered.
"Here's the short version. We bullied him, then he promised to do what we say, and now we are here." Jordon told me.
"Why would you do that to him? Do you even know what he goes through?" I questioned them.
"No, and we don't care. We aren't actually his friends." David said.
"So, everything that Liam has done to Louis and I in the past month or whatever was fake because you made him?"
"Yeah." They chuckled. I heard a phone beep. I looked to my left. Andy walked around the corner.
"You pricks. You made him do that shit? Why would you do that? Do you have anything held against him?" Andy questioned.
"No, we just told him that if he stopped we would beat him up. So pretty much the whole team." David told him.
"You think the whole team will follow you?" Andy questioned.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't they? They believe what we say." Jordon said.
"The team trusts Louis and I more then they trust you guys. Plus they like Louis and I better because we aren't pricks." Andy said.
"Like they'll believe what you say. They already think you're gay." David chuckled.
"Not anymore." Louis, with most of the football team walked over.
"Hey, what's up mates?" Jordon smiled and David chuckled. They let go of me. I went over towards Andy.
"You know what's going to happen right?" Andy looked at me.
"Yeah, but I don't want it too." I told him. I ran over in front of Louis and made him stop, "Don't." I told Louis.
"They deserve it." Louis is all steamed up.
"Like we've said before, no one deserves anything."
"They made my best friend do shit."
"Liam was the main victim in all of this. If anything then it's his decision to choose whether or not this happens." I told Louis. He looked down at me. He ran off past me and outside. What the hell? Andy came over to me.
"Where is he going?" Andy asked.
"I don't know?" I questioned. Andy looked around at the rest of the team and then David and Jordon.
"Go your separate ways. We'll deal with this later. You two, no contact with us." Andy strictly told David and Jordon. Everyone walked away, "Stay here. I'll be back in ten." Andy told me and ran towards the locker room. I leaned against my locker and sat down. The bell rang. Really? Horrible timing.
