Little Direction

Chapter 21: Got Milk?

"Moo." Harry said as he drank his milk.

Liam laughed as he blew into his straw causing milky bubbles to erupt.

Louis put his cup down revealing  a milk moustache.

Zayn the dog just.....sat there.

And Niall, he was super depressed. He had his face on the table for five minutes, I think he fell asleep....

Puck's been bugging me, asking why Niall's so upset. It's embarrassing for us to say anything. I'm really worried about him though, Niall, the food addict, has not eaten for two whole days. I know, I can't believe it either.

"Nialllllllll." Puck shoved a Rits cracker in his face. "I know you want it!"

Niall lifted his head up, then dropped it back down on the table. Poor guy.

He's made me re-think what I said. How can I just reject a little boy like that? He gave me a flower, and showered me with romantic lines from Doctor Who and The Hunger Games! What kind of selfish pest would reject something like that? Oh right.....

I mean, what's the older Niall going to say when he turns back, or rather if he turns back. My head is going to explode.

"Tell me how you traumatized the boy." Puck said.

"I did not traumatize him." I said walking away.

Seriously, if he dosen't feel beter soon.........I think I'll have to accept his offer.

"Ivory?" Louis tugged on my shirt.

I looked down and smiled, "Hi Lou."

"I found this on the ground, but I don't think it belongs in the library......" he held up Puck's old magazine.

"Ah, um that." I quickly snatched it from his hands. "Did you umm," I coughed, "Did you look inside?"

"A little..." Louis said.

 "PUUUUCK!" I screeched.

"Um, hi?" Puck jogged to me.

"Louis looked in your magazine." I frowned.

"What magazine?"

I shoved his disgusting reading material in his face.

"Woah, he looked in that?" Puck whispered.

"It's okay." Louis spoke up, "It wasn't boring or anything."

I gulped and Puck was trying to hold in his laugh.

"I can't blame ya, it is pretty interesting huh?" Puck smiled.

"Lou," I kneeled down and put both my hands on his shoulders, "Do not tell the rest of the boys about anything you saw in the magazine, please?" I said mostly talking about Harry.

"I won't tell them anything." Louis said, "But Zayn might......"

I looked down at the dog, "Same goes for you mister."

"Woof."

Hopefully that was a yes.

"Thank you guys." I said watching them run off playing tag.

I turned around to see Puck reading his magazine, "You should be ashamed of yourself." I huffed.

"I'm just doing what Puck does best." he replied.

"I'll never get used to you." I crossed my arms and went to study. He's such a jerk.

Only thinks about himself.

Barely helps me at all.

Never thinks about the future.

He's going to grow up to become a Gigolo.

I should stop hating him, I'd probably want to punch his face next time I see him.

"Puck, magazines are banned from this library." I announced.

"Well I finished soo..." he tossed the magazine on the table and took out a lighter.

"Not in here!" I yelled as the magazine caught on fire, "The fire alarm will go off!"

"Ah! I forgot!" Puck got on the table and stomped on the magazine.

"You dummy." I fanned the smoke with a book.

"At least I'm not stupid." he grinned.

I smiled and poured a glass of milk over the magazine. "Just shut up."
