I Want Him to be My Boyfriend(Zarry&Nouis)

Chapter Five

(NIALL'S POV) 

Once I left the English classroom, I knew I was leaving a slightly-- If not extremely, disappointed Louis Tomlinson behind me. I saw how disheartened he looked when I mentioned I was meeting up with someone. That someone was Valerie. Since we met that first day we had been texting a bunch and we had gone out on that first date but it didn't end up very date like. It more ended up being like two long time friends who hadn't seen each other in ages. She was a great girl, very sweet, very funny but... We just didn't click like that. Despite the failure of a date we had been hanging out and getting to know each other better. She was a great person to have around and talk too. Even though I only knew her a week we felt like we had known each other our entire lives. 

I had made five new friends that week and I felt pretty good about it as well. That was my parents intention in sending me here anyway. Valerie being the only girl friend I had made. But she wasn't my girlfriend. I sat in my music class, thinking about what we were going to do for dinner tonight. Probably just buy some fast food and walk around and eat and talk. She liked talking, boy, did she like talking. Though it wasn't the bad kind of talking I had come to learn. She talked about things that were important to her like what she wanted to do when she got older and her interests. It wasn't all the gossipy stuff that made me sick to my stomach. Val was a great listener as well. She let me talk and she didn't interrupt and she had good input on everything I had to say. It was nice.

I sat down in my advanced music theory class, today we were learning about  notes and stuff like that. Well, I don't really know what it was but I didn't really need to pay attention because I already knew all that stuff. At the end of class we were going to pick out the instruments we would be learning/relearning this year. I knew I should choose something other than guitar but that was what I felt most comfortable with and at the moment I didn't really want to stray from the norm. We would have to learn how to play, write a piece, and perform it by the end of the year. The teacher, Mr. Hemmings, told us about writing music and stuff but I couldn't get my mind off of Louis.

Louis was such a nice guy all around. He was handsome, smart, funny, and really just nice to be around. But I didn't know how I felt about him. First because I was almost 100% sure that I was straight as a board and I really didn't want to act on any feelings and hurt the blue eyed boy because I ended up just being a bit confused. I was hoping to talk to Valerie about all this tonight actually. Hoping that maybe, just maybe she could help me figure out what was going on in my head. I also didn't want to act too quick on any feelings because I had only known Louis for a week. Like what if we tried something and I stupidly mentioned how I think I loved him though I wasn't sure because I'm not entirely sure I'm queer. That would be so freaking embarrassing. For the both of us, not just myself. 

I sighed heavily and leaned back in my chair. It had come to the part of the class where we chose what we were going to be playing this year. "Niall, what will your instrument be?" My teacher asked, tapping the eraser end of his pencil against a notebook where he was keeping record of everyone's instruments. 

"Guitar," I said simply, giving a shrug when I felt a few pairs of eyes on me. I didn't really care what they thought, I just hoped they didn't think my playing was bad when we did little check point type things in the class. After the rest of the class had decided on what they were going to play we were let go. I made my way across the green to the dorm buildings. When I got back no one else was in the room. Or no one was in the room part of the room. I heard the shower going, assuming that either Zayn or Louis had come back from a workout or their last classes wanting to wash themselves off from a long day of being teenagers. I dropped my bag on the floor and flopped down on the bed, grabbing The Fault in Our Stars and opening it to where I had last left off which was about when Hazel Grace was at the mall on her own, reading.

I got pretty into the book, which is very weird for me, but found myself stopping when I heard a moan come from the shower. I raised an eyebrow and sat up, keeping my body propped up on my elbows. Whoever was in there was obviously enjoying themselves. I heard another moan and I sat up all the way. I marked my page in the bright blue book and set it down on my bed, listening for more moans. There were a few more before a loud 'Oh Harry!' slipped through the cracks of the door. I felt my cheeks grow warm, I shouldn't have been listening, I should have left the room but it was a little bit impossible. I laid back down though, curling up under my covers so that if they did come out of that shower anytimes soon, which I highly doubted, they wouldn't think I was eavesdropping on them.

I hear a door open and I burrow deeper under my covers, though I still hear the shower going. I take a small peak and see Louis walk in. He's got a fake smile plastered on his face as he sits down on his own bed. "Hi, Louis," I mumbled, watching him carefully. I hoped to God he wasn't upset with me, I don't think I'd be able to stand that. I hated it when people were upset with me, it was such a gut wrenching feeling and such a horrible thing to think about.

"Hey, Ni," he said softly, looking to the bathroom door when another moan spilled out. "Are they...?" I nodded, chewing on my lip as I sat up so I could get a better look at the other boy. "I know you've got uh-- Plans but do you wanna get out of here while they have private time?" I nodded again, eagerly this time. I grabbed my bag quickly, don't really know why but I did. Louis jumped off his bed quickly and followed me out of the room. When we got a good distance away, I noticed my cheeks were still red from earlier and that just caused me to blush even more. "Your face is red." Louis stated bluntly.

"I know. I just uh-- Didn't think I'd hear my mates having sex until halfway through the year or so," I admitted to him softly, chewing on my lip again after I had finished speaking.

"Ah, makes sense," Louis nodded a bit. We stood there in silence for a few minutes, I didn't know what to do and Louis seemed to be contemplating what he should do. "So uh-- Who do you have plans with?" 

"Oh! Uh-- N-No one important," I managed to stammer out, "well she's important but like...  Uh-- Y'know. My friend Valerie wants to hang out and I think I need to talk some things over with her. Not like... Uh-- Relationshippy things that like have to do with us. But like my own crushes and stuff y'know?" Wow, I really should have just stopped talking after saying 'I need to talk some things over with her.' I didn't need to go into details. Now I just sounded like an idiot.

"O-Oh uh-- Okay then," he said quietly, now he really looked like he didn't know what to say. I groaned softly, knowing I had messed up somehow.

"Hey uh-- I can call and cancel. We can just hangout some other time. Plus we've got a book to read," I told him, giving him a small smile. "I've got the book and stuff in my bag anyway. We could go off and get dinner and it could be like a little date type thing." I offered him, biting my lip a bit hard again. If I kept doing this it would start bleeding sooner or later. Wait-- Did I say date?!

Whoo three chapters in the last... Twelve hours wowza. Okay so yeah. I hope these longer chapters and constant updates make up for a year of lost time??? Probably not but oh well. I hope you guys are enjoying it and all that. I tried making it decent but y'know, I'm not that good of a writer. Please leave comments on what you'd like to happen/what you like so far and vote and stuff like that. Best wishes. -Zoe
