Locker 17

Chapter 9

*Harry's POV*

...I start to walk towards the front of the school where the front doors are at. I approach them and I walk outside. The parking lots are right in front of the front yard of the school. I make my way down the stone path to the parking lots and look towards my car. He's not there. I look all around the parking lots and he's nowhere in sight. I pull at my hair realizing that I fucked up all the chances of me and him becoming friends. Friends. Do I really think that's all I want? I sit down right in front of my car, brushing my fingers through my hair. I let out a sigh knowing that he's not coming after all. Maybe I should wait a little bit more? Why am I even waisting my time. I stand to my feet brushing off the dirt from the sidewalk off the back of my pants. When I turn around, Louis is there. I stand up straight and attempt to brush my hair with my hand, pushing it back. Louis is standing at the front doors of the school, the ones I just walked out from. He doesn't see me but I see him and the look on his face is of worry. I can't help but smile at the thought of him being worried about him being late. We hardly know each other and the way we've started to get to know each other is just scrambled. He finally sets his eyes on mine from a far and lets out a sigh of relief? I start to walk towards him and he does the same.

"I thought you weren't going to show up?"

I try my best to sound the least worried or concerned.

"I'm sorry, I was running late and I figured I would turn in my work in the box."

"Right, it's ok no big deal."

He starts walking past me towards my car, excited much? That's good right? Or maybe he just wants to get it over with and forget all this happened. He's standing next to the passenger car door and I'm still on the pavement. He looks at me as a sign to open the door. In a hurry? I click the button on my key and open it. He goes inside as soon as he hears it click. Why is he in such a hurry? I start to walk towards my side of the car and get inside. Louis already has his seatbelt on and everything, no surprise is it now?

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

I ask.

"Well, if you don't recall you told me to pretend not to know you here at school and there are windows on the side of those class rooms"

He points to the front of the school.

"and I don't want to get caught ditching, enough said."

"Louis wh-"

I stop myself from speaking. When I said to pretend he didn't know me I was only kidding, just to see if he'd take me literally. Guess he did but that wasn't my intention at all. Besides no one even thinks Louis isn't attracted to girls, he doesn't even seem gay. The whole reason why I teased him for being gay was to find out if he was, I had no clue he actually was. It would be pretty cool to finally hangout with someone at school for once, someone who isn't snobby, too loud or too dumb or uses me for my money.

"What?"

Louis turns to face me.

"Never mind."

"So where are we headed?"

He asks facing the front.

"It's your choice remember?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Well, I don't really know the places around here."

"You just moved here last week of course, sorry about that."
