HAVE A LITTLE FAITH: PART 2 (HARRY STYLES FANFIC)

41

"Look around Styles. Everyone is staring at you. It's not every day you see a crippled kid suddenly walking on his own two feet again." Jake says as he waves his hand around to the random people scattered across the front lawn of the school. 

Sure enough, almost everyone is staring at me. Most of them have their mouths hanging open and I even catch a few of them pointing at me as they speak unheard words to their friends.

"I can't believe how bad they are all staring." I shake my head in disbelief.

"Uh-oh. It's happening. Look out Styles." Jake says in a warning tone as he nods his head towards my left. 

I glance over to see two girls from our grade walking towards me with a purpose.

"Landon! You don't have your crutches anymore!" Tina says in surprise as she looks me up and down.

"How is this even possible? I thought you would need those crutches for the rest of your life." Abby takes her turn looking me up and down. 

I never really talked to Tina much but I've talked to Abby lots of times. She's one of the cheerleaders and when I played football she was always around.

"Um...I got an operation over the summer and now I can walk again." I end their confusion.

"Are you going to join football again?" Abby ask as she steps closer to me; a little too close actually.

"No way." I say as I roll my eyes.

"Why not? We all miss you." Abby says as she sticks out her bottom lip and bats her eyelashes at me.

"I'm right here! I've always been right here. Why do I need to be on the football team for anyone to talk to me?" I joke.

"I guess you're right. You look really good by the way." Abby says as she looks me up and down again.

"I'd back up a few steps if I were you Abby." Callie says with an angry look on her face.

"Why? Are you two dating or something?" Abby asks as she sticks her chest out and flips her hair over her shoulder. 

What she just did was some kind of secret girl challenge...I've seen it before so I recognize it...Abby feels like she's better than Callie and what she just did with her body language, silently tells Callie that.

"No Abby, Callie is my girl. Styles is dating Faith Keller and you might not know who that is but trust me, you don't ever want that girl seeing you talking to my boy here." Jake says cockily as he slings his arm over Callie's shoulder and glares at Abby...I find this whole thing very amusing...

"You're dating Faith?" Tina says with the look of disgust on her face and the way she said Faith's name it sounded like a curse word.

"What's it your business?" I ask with a shrug; I've already lost interest in talking to both of these girls.

"It's not, let's get to class Tina." Abby stammers as she pulls on Tina's arm to get her to leave with her.

"Fuck them Landon." Callie says as she places her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine Callie." I reassure her when I see the look of concern on her face.

"Sure, right now you are but the first bell hasn't even rang yet. I'm sure you'll be ready to pull your hair out by the end of the day." Jake chimes in.

"I don't care what people think; they don't know her like I do." I shrug again.

"If they only knew how you two really are then they'd all be jealous." Jake says honestly.
