Lies

Chapter 24

"This school is bigger than the one I went to," Niall said.

"What school did you go to?"

"I really don't know,"

We walked over to the vending machine.

"This is where I go when I'm depressed,"

"Because you're fat,"

"Shut up,"

We started walking to the bathroom.

"And here's wh-," we stopped walking at the face of Liam.

I stared at the ground and scratched my head.

"H-Hey Ash and.."

"Niall," I said filling in for Liam.

"I'm Liam,"

"Nice to meet you,"

"You too,"

"I was just showing him around. He's my best friend, known him since kindergarten. I'll catch up with you, all day today I guess, bye now,"

"Wait Ash, I was wondering if I could hang out with you later,"

"Uh, maybe," I grabbed Niall's hand and ran to the cafeteria.

"So that was that Liam guy?"

"Yep, my Liam,"

"Things were kinda weird over there,"

"We haven't talked in weeks. That was out first time,"

He grabbed my hand, "It's okay. Don't get stressed when you're around him,"

"But it's just so hard. I don't know what to do,"

"Why don't you see someone else, get him out your mind,"

"That's even harder,"

"How's it so hard if he's doing it to you?"

I couldn't even answer that. The fact that he was so right had me completely speechless. We just sat there until the bell rang.

"Where's Mr. Peck's class?"

"It's straight ahead and make a turn to the left,"

"Thanks! Bye Ashy,"

"Bye!"

We went separate ways, heading to our classes.
