A Little Bit Of Color [l.s]

Chapter 2

It was now lunch time and Louis was sitting at a table in the back of the cafeteria waiting for his two friends to show up.  He just got out of his Science class with Mr. Pena and couldn't wait to tell his friends all about his first day so far.

Louis turned as he heard a loud laugh coming from the cafeteria doors, a smile spreading across his face as he noticed Zayn and Niall walking in.  They seemed to be in a deep conversation with the way they were walking so close to each other and whispering.  

Walking up to the table Zayn sent Louis a smile and went over to sit down, pulling Louis in his lap while Niall unknowingly sent Louis daggers.

'Why is he sitting on Zayns lap? That's MY spot.  I should be in his lap, cuddling up to him,' Niall thought.  

Zayn noticed Niall sending Louis a look and gently slid him off his lap, shooting Niall a questioning look.

Niall just shook his head and sat down across from Zayn, asking Louis how science was.

At the question, Louis perked up and couldn't help but go off on them and telling them all about his class.  How his teacher pulled him aside and told him how glad he was that Louis was in his class again and how much hes looking forward to the school year now that he has his 'favorite student' in his class.

Zayn scoffed at the last statement and couldn't help but roll his eyes.  He disliked Mr. Pena a lot.  He's always had a bad feeling about him, not trusting him around his friend, especially alone.  Zayn was always looking out for his friends, specifically Louis.  

Louis was just too innocent.  He never saw any bad in anyone or anything.  He didn't find it weird that his older teacher was constantly trying to get alone time with him.  Didn't notice the way his teacher would look at him.  But Zayn did, he noticed everything and he believes it's his job to look after his friend.

They spent their time talking and sooner or later the bell rang, signaling that lunch was over.  They all stood up and carried onto their classes.  They only had Choir and Gym, then school was over.

"I'm so hungry," Niall whined as they all walked towards his truck.

It was the end of the day and they had just gotten out of Gym, exhausted from the day.

"We should go to that bakery downtown, I heard they have good donuts," Louis said as he closed the door, putting on his seatbelt.

Niall sent Zayn a look, silently asking if he wanted to go.  Sighing, Zayn nodded and sent Niall a small smile, which he returned with a bright smile of his own and backed out of the school parking lot making his way to the bakery.

"Finally, we're here.  I almost died of starvation," Niall groaned as they pulled into the bakery parking lot.

Louis let out a giggle from the back seat and opened the door along with Zayn, hopping down from the truck.  He saw Niall waiting by the door, tapping his foot and sending a look to his friends, making them hurry up.

Walking in, Niall looked over to the counter gasping as his eyes met a pretty shade of brown puppy dog eyes staring right at him.  Too caught up in his own world, he didn't notice the way Zayn was staring at the same pair of eyes, both of their worlds unknowingly changing to color.
