Chapter 4

*LOUIS' POV*

Look at him, flirting with Brooklyn innocently. He's been telling me how pretty he thinks she is ever since they met this morning. And does he think he's going to win her over with his football skills?

I saw him jogging towards me and I put on a smile on my face. I don't dislike him, but I don't want Brooklyn to like him. Is that wrong? Technically I did like her first, but then again I did torment her for about 3 years.

I really like her still, but what if she doesn't like me back. Who am I kidding, she probably doesn't even like me as a friend. If only I could go back in time and reverse everything.

She'll probably fall for Niall...he's a good guy and she deserves someone better than me.

"I think I'm interested in Brooklyn! She's a really cool girl," he said to me.

"Yeah, she really is."

"So we're still kind of confused. The two of you are okay now? I didn't think she's forgive you after-"

"She didn't," I said cutting him off. His mouth forms an 'O' shape and he looks down at the grass.

"It's complicated Niall, I don't know if we're friends or not. Right now, we're just partners for an art project."

He looks back up at me and nods. Coach Witt blows the whistle, signaling us to huddle.

"Louis, I expect great things from you this season since you're the captain, again," he says to me. Everyone cheers for me. I've been captain of the football team ever since freshman year.

"Okay boys, today we'll be doing the same thing we did on Wednesday. Got it? Good."

And by that, he meant we had to run back and forth on the field and do 5 squats after each lap...and we have to run 20 laps. My legs are going to be so sore after practice.

Niall and I and a few others finished early. We had the choice to leave, but Niall decided to show off his football skills in front of Brooklyn.

I glared at him, annoyed by how amused Brooklyn looks.

"Are you jealous?" I heard a voice say. I turned beside me and realized it was Max.

"Of course not!" I argue.

He shrugs. "I think you are. I thought you didn't like Brooklyn?"

"I never stopped liking her Max, and all those terrible, terrible years of tormenting her...I regret it all. And now she probably likes Niall cause he never did anything to her. It was all me, and only me."

"Hey don't say that! I think deep down in her, she still likes you."

I smiles a little and the two of us walked over to them.

"Watch this!" Niall exclaimed. He threw the ball up and caught it on his back. Brooklyn and Sophia clapped in amazement.

"Babe you've seen me do that," Max says to Sophia. He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

"C'mon Brooklyn, let's go to my place and work on the project," I said to her.

"But that means I have to stop by my house to pick up the painting," she said.

I nodded and the two of us walked to where the locker rooms are.

"Let me just grab my stuff," I said to her.

I came back out and Niall was talking to her again. I tightened my grip on my gym bag and stood next to Brooklyn.

"Alright, I'm ready."

"I gotta go Niall," she said to him.

"Okay. So uh, I'll call you! Bye Brooklyn, bye Louis."

We waved goodbye to him and walked to my car. I couldn't help but think that Niall has her number now. I still do, but I don't know if she's changed it or not. What if she deleted mine? What if she still has mine?

"Louis?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and realized we were at my car.

"Oh right, I didn't unlock it."

She giggled and I felt myself blush from embarrassment. I unlocked the car and threw my gym bag in the back. My legs were extremely sore from practice and it felt so nice to sit down. I heard her mumble something and I looked at her confused.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Oh, I said I'm nervous about seeing your family again. It's been years Louis.."

"I know, but they've missed you. They keep asking about you so don't be nervous!"

She smiled slightly. The only one that should be nervous is me. I hope mum and Lottie don't ask any questions.

*AUTHOR'S NOTE*

My own fan fic makes me confused

So Louis' friends were never mean to Brooklyn and they didn't believe the rumor

And Louis knew it wasn't true either but he still bullied Brooklyn

His friends didn't like it but they were still friends with Louis

Uh yeah
