Calm Down, Tough Guy

"So I got a conformation on when we're leaving to France." Everyone cheers, while I sit still waiting for the news. "Okay quiet, it'll be January 20th." My teacher claps his hands excitedly while everyone turns to eachother and talks about all the plans they have for the trip.

"Aren't you excited!" Nathan basically yells in my ear.

"Yeah we still have about 5 more months" I say clicking my pen.

"I know but still it's gonna be so much fun" he nudges my elbow and I laugh at his enthusiasm.

"Okay relax, shush. We still have a few more months till then. But for now we have to work on the background..."

His voice fades off along with the silence of everyone else. Because all I hear are my thoughts. It's been a week since I last spoke to Jeremy, I feel his eyes on me as I have been every single day that passes. He hasn't made an attempt to talk to me. But the second day of the break up I did get texts from him acting like nothing happen in which I ignored, I deleted most of them without even opening them. I'm just over it. At one point I turned off my phone and asked Harry if he could keep it till the day ends..

Speaking of which, Harry. His pale green eyes invade my thoughts without a single permission. I had ask Jake if he wanted to get pizza with us which then lead to Joshua coming which then lead to Joshua asking Nathan and Victor to come, but I didn't mind I just didn't want Harry to be slightly mad. Great fully he wasn't he had ask Niall and Vince to tag along. It went rather smoothly everyone talking and laughing with a heavenly slice of pizza in front of me.

Niall teased Harry about wanting to sit next to me. They didn't speak as low as they thought they did. It was funny to listen to, like two 5 year olds fighting about where they wanted to have there nap times. Regardless Harry sat next to me and we talked most of the night. I learned a lot about him. He's a really goofy guy, chessy even. He kept looking at me with this smile that is engraved in my mind because it was a smile that made your heart melt. We've hung out almost all week. His jokes and vibe is like a new fresh air for me.

"Alice, hello?" A hand waves in my faces and I blink a few times before finally settling my eyes on the person in front of me, or should I say ass? "I was wondering if maybe we can talk?" I look around to see everyone basically gone, someone left something behind putting things back in there bags.

"I gotta get to my class" I state rather emotionless.

"Can I walk you? I promise it'll only take a minute." He says.

"I don't want to talk to you. I told you I want to be left alone we aren't together no more and whatever speech you have ready to say I won't except it. I won't ever except it" I look him dead in the eyes as I see him look taken back by my words. He honestly looks tired, bags are under his eyes, his hair isn't pushed to one side but rather messy his shirt isn't straight but wrinkles fill it with a stain right under his chin.

"I uh I'm sorry" is all he says. I scoff and walk away from him. Never ever would I think I would finally stand up to him. Not let him treat me like poop. But here I am walking away from the thing that hurt me the most. All the lies and unfaithfulness left with him. I know he wants to act like everything's fine. He wants to act like he's hurt, and maybe he is because he's finally realizing how much he hurt me. But it's to late. I can't, won't be with him ever again. For my own sake of happiness because I can promise you I've been more happy this one week then the three years we were together.

Class passes and I look for Louis because I forgot to give him the homework for math that he needs to copy. I see him sitting on the grass under a tree. A few tables surrounding it. This is where Jake usually comes but sits on the tables.
