Tough Luck

Chapter Four: Challenge

Hello!

Okay just a quick little authors note here: I did not base Taylor off of Taylor Swift, okay? One of my friends later pointed it out to me and I did a major facepalm. I did not mean to do that!! Okay. Thank you for understanding!

Vanessa's POV:

After all of my morning classes I walked down to the cafeteria with Lilli. She wanted me to meet her friends, and I had no idea how that would go. Hopefully they were all like her, because if they were that would mean that they would have a slight chance of liking me.

"Don't worry, they'll like you." Lilli said happily, guiding me to our destination.

"Are you sure?"

"Yup." Lilli popped the p at the end.

"Ok..."

Right as we walked into the cafeteria, I scanned the room, looking for Harry. I didn't want to sit next to him or anything, definitely not, but I did want to see who he hung out with. I was curious.

Finally, I spotted him. He sat at a pretty good table, with 4 other senior guys sitting next to him. And 2 girls, which thankfully none of which were Taylor.

We were about half way there when a one of the boys looked up and beamed at Lilli. He had dark hair and eyes and wore a leather jacket with jeans. I could see him being the school player, but the way he looked at Lilli? I knew better.

He jumped up from his chair and raced over to her. She jumped into his arms and he spun her around. He quickly set her down once he noticed me.

"Hello, I'm Zayn. What's your name?"

"Vanessa."

"She's Harry's new neighbor." Lilli said, and I swore I saw a small smirk on her face. Zayn looked at Lilli and then smiled wide. What the hell?!?! What was going on, why were they smiling?

"Come on, we better introduce you to the rest of the group." Zayn said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the table before I could do anything.

Once we were just a few feet away one of the senior boys looked up at us. He was blonde, and had really blue eyes. He was holding hands with a really pretty girl that looked about a year younger than him, a junior, the same age as me.

His eyes lit up with excitement. "Lilli!" He shouted. He jumped up and tackled the poor girl to the ground.

"Woah, Niall! Hugs only, mate!" Zayn said, tossing Niall off of his girlfriend and making sure she was okay.

Niall stood up and brushed himself off. "Please, Zayn. She's my best friend. When I see her, I just get excited."

"Well, thankfully you don't get as excited as you get with Jackie. I feel bad for her sometimes!"

"I get used to it." The girl said that was holding hands with Niall earlier. She must have been his girlfriend Jackie. She was Asian, with long, black hair and shiny brown eyes. She wore a short pink skirt and a blue t shirt. She turned to look at me. "Hey, I'm Jackie."

"I'm Vanessa."

"And I'm Niall. Her extremely hot, sexy and" (he winked) "100% Irish boyfriend." Niall said, smiling.

We all laughed, even Harry, the two guys and one girl that I still didn't know yet.

"Hello, I'm Liam. It's nice to meet you Vanessa." He stuck out his hand and I shook it. I could tell he was going to be the mature one in this group, even though I hadn't met anyone else yet. He dressed kind of like a bad boy like Zayn (and so did Niall) but they're personalities weren't ones you'd associate with people that wore the clothing that they did. Liam had a buzz cut, but I could tell his hair color was brown. His eyes were a light brown as well.
