Chapter 3

[HARRY]

I had been anticipating Riley to text me as soon I left school. Most girls did at least. I sat on my bed just waiting for a text from an unknown number for about a half hour then gave up. She texted me later that night. By then I had already forgotten about her texting me, That's when I got super confused when she was explaining to me who she was.

I'm not going to lie. Riley was hot. Gorgeous, even. But I don't know if I could ever like her like that though. I mean, I just met her.

"Hey Siri, call Niall Horan for me please?" I say loudly to my iPhone 6s.

"Calling Niall Horan..." Siri answers. The phone rings three times before someone answers the phone.

"What's up bro?" Niall answers.

"Hey Niall, can I come over?" I say.

"I mean, it's a little late for that." Niall Remarks.

"It's only 9:00 p.m." I say putting emphasis on the 9:00.

"Yeah I know, but Louis is already here and I'm not sure if my parents would like anymore company. Besides I doubt your mum and Robin will even let you leave." He says trying to find an excuse for me to not come.

"Obviously, they'll let me leave. I just need to tell them that I'm sleeping over."

"Oh yeah sure Harry, I totally said it was okay to sleepover." Niall says sarcastically.

"Yeah, I know that I didn't ask but you have no choice, we really need to talk. And it's good that Louis is there because I can get his input as well."

"Whatever lad." Niall says, then hangs up the phone.

I go to my closet and grab a pair of comfortable pajama's and some clothes that I will wear tomorrow and shove them into my bag. I fetch my car keys and stumble my way downstairs. Almost instantly, I can hear my parents in the living room so I decided to barge in on their conversation,

"Hey guys, can I go to Niall's house? Louis is spending the night at his place and I asked if I could tag along. They said sure if it's okay with you guys." I say quickly because I had no time to spare. My mum and Robin look at each other awkwardly then back at me. Probably because they didn't understand a word that I had just said.

"Uhhh, Sure. Just bring your phone in case we need you." My mother says.

"Of course I'm bringing my phone, but thanks guys, bye!" I say as I swiftly exit the living room and out the house.

I open the garage and hop into my Audi R8 and drive straight to Niall's house.

***********

"Okay, Okay, slow down. Explain that again." Louis says. I roll my eyes because I have to repeat all of that again.

"Ugh, Okay so I met this girl, her name is Riley. Basically she's the most beautiful girl I've seen and well she's my partner for Chemistry-

"Wait, Riley? As in Riley Summers?" Niall asks me. I look at him surprised.

"You know her?" I asked.

"Uhh, Yeah! She's been in our class for the past 3 years." He says as if it was obvious. I'm silent for a couple of seconds.

"Wait seriously?" I say so confused.

"Yeah, mate. How could you have not noticed her?" He remarks. I shrug my shoulders.

I can't believe I've never noticed her before. A girl that beautiful has been in my class for the past 3 years and I've failed to even notice her. What the hell is wrong with me?

"But yeah so she's coming over on Thursday to work on our project and I'm not sure if the only thing I can do with her is just work on a project." I say shyly. Louis and Niall look up at me.

"Wait so you like her?" Niall asks.

"I thought you and Sarah were going out?" Louis asks.

"Ok one, I'm not sure if I like her and two, just because Sarah and I randomly hook up sometimes doesn't mean we're going out," I say answering both their questions.

"I knew she was a hoe." Louis shouts. Niall chuckles. I just simply shake my head.

"No but seriously guys, I want to do something more than just work on a bloody project with her." I say seriously.

"Take her out somewhere afterwards." Louis suggests. I shake my head.

"No, I don't want it to seem like a date."

"Bring her to Walmart." Niall suggest boldly. Me and Louis peer our heads over at him slowly.

"Next time, don't speak." Louis spits. I shake my head once more. Niall and Louis may be my best friends, but lord knows they are so not helpful.

"Okay, You guys can't help for shit. I'm going to sleep." I say just brushing off the subject because it was completely pointless.

"Or you're just being a pussy and trying to run away from the fact that you might like this girl and you just don't know how to tell her." Louis says. I lean up from my position.

"I don't like her. I barely know her. Hell, I don't even know her." I say rolling my eyes.

"I can understand why he'd want to hide it. I mean, she's basically a loser. A hot loser, but still a loser." Niall says.

"Well she's not exactly a loser, she's just a nobody." Louis says defending Riley just a tad.

"So, a loser?" Niall spits back to prove his point. Louis darts a sharp look at Niall clearly annoyed by his remark.

"Whatever mate, I'm going to bed." Louis says crawling into his sleeping bag.

"That was the most confusing conversation I've ever heard." Niall says then climbs back into his bed. I think to myself why I even came to their house if they were going to be this unhelpful. I shake my head and shut my eyes as I think about Riley and how I feel about her.

-

Well that was confusing. Thank Niall and Louis for being the most un-helpful friends in the world. I need to make Niall sound a little less like a bloody retard and more like a funny guy. HELP!
