Louis woke up to his annoying alarm, groaning as he covered his eyes with his arm, shielding any sun from slipping past his barrier and making him flinch. Louis hated mornings, like: with a fiery passion. It was the same routine, hearing his mum call him from downstairs, threatening to 'Get his arse up before she takes the time to walk up there and make him get up', and then the giggles of four little voices, his sisters running down the stairs like fleeing convicts.
He pulled himself out of bed, padding over to his bathroom where he took an incredibly long shower, kind of falling asleep again as he stood under the warm water cascading down his body. He walked out, his eyes still half closed as he lazily picked out an outfit for the school day.
At least it was Friday. And then tomorrow was Saturday, which meant it was the weekend which meant-
The party. That god dammned party which Liam was taking him against his will (even though he really wanted to go), and he wouldn't admit to anyone he was looking forward to it, not even himself.
He inwardly groaned as he slipped on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, and a black t-shirt. He didn't bother with his hair anyways, so he just ran a hand through it carelessly as he toed on his vans. He looked towards his un-made bed and shrugged, shutting his bedroom door so his little sisters wouldn't sneak in and mess with his stuff like last time.
Ignoring the calls for breakfast, he quickly pecked his mum on the cheek, ruffling his siblings hair before he escaped the house, only to go to school. Which sucked. He walked to him and Liam's usual meeting spot, and smiled when he saw his best mate waiting for him.
"Hey" he said simply, walking with the brown eyed boy to school slowly.
"So, you ready for the party tomorrow?" Liam asked, and slung his backpack over his shoulder a little more as they fell in step together
"You're already talking about that stupid thing!" Louis groaned, kicking a pebble as he walked.
"Of course I am, Lou! It's our chance to finally loosen up and live a little" he insisted, biting his lip as he saw the school come in view "I know you're excited, don't even try and deny it" he smirked, knowing Louis was looking forward to the party tomorrow. Hell, he knew him like the back of his own hand
"I am not looking forward to the fucking party, Liam!" he insisted, but knew Liam could tell he was lying when he smirked even wider "Okay, I'm looking forward to it" he mumbled, chuckling softly as they walked in the door to the school
"Hah! I knew it" Liam hummed, biting his lip when he saw Zayn walking through the halls by himself. Louis followed his gaze, nudging him gently "Go talk to him! Do it, I know you can do it, Li" he reassured, and Liam immediately shook his head.
Louis sighed and nodded. He couldn't say anything, because then he'd be a hypocrite. He couldn't approach his crush at all, he could barely even look at him without having a panic attack
-crush-. Shit, Louis thought in his mind. Louis had to admit it eventually, so he was thinking deeply before he felt Liam's hand gripping his arm tightly
"What!?" Louis scoffed, and looked towards Liam who was pale in the face, his brown eyes wide and his lips parted slightly
"H-he's coming over here" Liam barely whispered, and looked towards Zayn.
+ZAYN POV+
Zayn took a deep breath as he walked through the halls, looking for Harry. They usually smoked something before class started. It was like a tradition almost. He looked around casually, his dark eyes scanning the nearly empty halls before they landed on two boys.
Zayn instantly recognized who one of them was. Liam. Liam Payne, and he felt his palms start to sweat and his heart quicken in his chest. His eyes met Liam's for just a moment, and he swore to god he was going to kneel over and die with the amount of cuteness Liam just radiated off himself.
He had to do something, he like really really wanted to talk to him, and he's kinda thought this situation out in his mind about at thousand times before. He wasn't obsessed with Liam. Defiantly not.
He bit his lip as he walked towards them, not even noticing that Louis was there until he saw Liam grasp his arm tightly, and whisper something in his ear. Zayn looked down and felt a surge of jealously run through him. They couldn't be dating, could they? Zayn sighed and walked up to them, fiddling with his fingers as he spoke
"Hey, Liam right?" he said in the direction of the pale boy who was staring at him, and Zayn felt his cheeks burn and his throat go dry. Oh god, those eyes, and his jaw line that had stubble over it, and his lips that just-
"Y-yeah. Zayn right?" Liam said softly and the raven haired boy nodded, biting his lip before he spoke
"That's me. We'll, I'm going to this party tomorrow, and. I. Uhm, was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" he squeaked, his eyes widening as he realized what he just asked. What if he said no? oh god, he'd probably start crying and-
"Sure, I'd love to go" He heard Liam say, and both their faces broke into a goofy smile. Zayn nodded slolwy and hummed as he pulled out his phone, handing it to Liam
"Type your number in, and I can text you later, yeah?" he breathed, and watched as Liam shakily took the phone is his hand, punching in his number.
"Okay, yeah that sounds good" Liam said, and Zayn nodded again, running a hand through his hair, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet
"W-well, I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye, Liam" he said, the boys name slipping off his tongue beautifully. He blushed when Liam blushed, and awkwardly spun around to hide his giggles like a 12 year old with a crush
But that's what he was. Except he wasn't a 12 year old, even though he felt like one when he spotted Harry, running over to him with a wide grin on his face "You'll never believe what I just did" he breathed as he approached the curly haired boy
+LIAM AND LOUIS' POV+
Liam looked over at Louis with an expression on his face that was hard to decipher. "Wait, what?" he asked him, shaking his head slowly "What just happened" he breathed, pausing in between each word
Louis chuckled and patted him on the back "You, my friend, just got asked out by none other than Zayn Malik" he smirked, watching as all the color drained from Liam's face, and then his cheeks turn a bright red. "You okay, mate? Look a little pale" he hummed
Liam nodded and bit his lip, feeling his cheeks on fire as the situation replayed in his mind. "You're right, Oh my god" He breathed, a smile forming on his face, and his hands went to run through his hair.
Louis nodded and smiled, feeling happy for his best mate. But he couldn't help but feel slightly jealous. "Lets go, we've got first hour soon" he hummed, grabbing him by his wrist and dragging the giggly older boy behind him.
