Bad Influence

42

The next couple of days were filled with lots of fun. We played football, went swimming in the pool, had a few water fights. The boys attempted sining a song in preparation of Judges Houses. I also flirted a lot with Harry, mostly because I loved making Liam jealous. I could easily tell. His whole face changed, and he never looked at me. He sort of just looked mad. And I loved it. And the bonus here was that Harry was really cute and handsome. I looked at Harry. He was talking about something with Niall. I could see the dimples as Niall made him laugh. I smiled a little to myself. Harry turned and looked at me. He smiled as soon as I looked away. He was still looking when I met his gaze again. This time he winked before he turned his gaze to Niall. I gave Liam a quick glance, he wasn't even looking at me . He was just talking to Louis. I bet Zayn was outside smoking.

Me and Zayn had gotten really close. The thing with Zayn was the he was incredibly sexy and handsome, yet I didn't want to date him. Zayn had told me about his life as well, after I told him the whole Liam story. We usually talked a lot when we were stood outside smoking. Louis didn't say anything on me smoking, he just gave me some looks. I usually just ignored them. Louis was a little bit more shy, and not as loud as he used to be. I think Liam noticed because he kept sending me looks. I ignored him too. I spent most of the days having fun with Harry, smoking with Zayn or just hanging out with Niall or Louis. Liam was there from time to time, I just ignored him completely. I knew Liam wanted to ask me stuff, and he kept sending me looks when I came back from hanging outside with Zayn or when I got up to go outside alone or with Zayn. I usually just rolled my eyes at him. It was weird seeing him here, even weirder because we literally lived together right now. I think Louis understood how I felt. He helped me avoid Liam by giving me warning looks when Liam came. It was in some ways nice to have Liam here. He and Louis had been best friends, so I was happy to see them reconnect. "Hey Angel, can I ask you something?" Harry asked as we were all sitting on out mattresses one night. "Sure Harry." I said giving him a smile. "Why is your name Angel? I mean, why did your parents choose it?" Harry asked. "Well, technically it's not my name. It's a nickname. My full name is Angelica, but I never use it." I said. "Angelica? Really? Why that name?" Harry asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe because it's a bit more French? Me and Louis's dad live in France, so maybe that's why. I mean Louis is also sort of an French name." I said. "Who started to call you Angel?" Niall asked. I gave Liam a quick look. I guess it was no point hiding it. Zayn and Louis knew so why not? "Liam did. A long time ago." I said. Harry raised an eyebrow. "Our Liam?" He asked as he pointed to Liam. I nodded. "Yeah. I've known that guy since I was five or something. We dated for almost a year." I said. "Why did you act like you didn't know him?" Niall asked. "Because I hurt her really badly about two years ago. She have ignored me for a year and hate me. And it was really awkward." Liam said before I could answer. "What did you do?" Harry asked. "We just broke up." I said. It wasn't a lie. We did break up, I just didn't tell the whole story. I might do it one day, but I had known these guys for about three days. "Alright, enough talk about me. What about you Harry? Any secret girlfriends I should be on the look out for?" I asked as I turned my attention to Harry. He smiled. "Nope, not right now." He said. I smiled and sent him a wink before I turned to the rest of the boys. "I just got out of a horrible relationship, with this girl called Jennie." Niall said. "Who broke up with who?" I asked. "I did. Since I'd be gone from home a long time and long distance don't really work out. I'm kind of happy to get rid of her. It just didn't feel right." Niall said. "I feel you." I said as my phone rang. I looked down to see Matt's name. I smiled. "I better get this." I said.

"Matt, oh my god. I have so much to tell you. But firstly, how are you?" I asked. "I'm doing alright. You remember Zack?" Matt asked. "Yeah." I said. "Well, he cheated on me with some girl he met in my bar. Right in front of me." Matt said. "Oh, Matthew. I'm so sorry." I said as I got more comfortable in my seat. The boys were watching me. I smiled at them as I continued to listen to Matt. "Zack is a dick Matt. You really deserve better." I said. "Yeah, thanks Petite. I miss you, you know? When will you be able to visit? Or let me and Donny visit you? We both miss you so much." Matt said. I smiled a little. "I'm not sure. Once my parents find me trustworthy again. Or maybe if Louis makes it big." I said. Matt laughed. "Yeah, how is the week with Louis's band going?" Matt asked. "Well, you'll never guess who's here." I said as my eyes darted to Liam. "No, who?" Matt asked. "The dick himself." I said. "Is Liam there? Oh my god! Is he there right now? Is he more handsome? Are you making him jealous? Do you need me to pretend I'm Donny or pretend that I'm this super hot, straight guy?" Matt asked. I laughed. "It's fine. And yeah, he is more handsome. And I'm actually making him jealous. I've met this super handsome, cute guy. His name is Harry." I said as I wiggled my eyebrow at Harry. He smiled. "Better not tell Donny." Matt said. "He knows. I love him, but he knows both me and him need to move one, and realize that we can't be together." I said. "It just sounds like a bad cliche love movie when you say it like that." Matt pointed out. "Yeah, I know. Listen Matt, I better go. But we'll talk soon yeah? And I love you. And go find yourself some rebound hook." I said. Matt laughed. "I will try Petite. I love you too. Make Liam regret ever hurting you." Matt said before we hung up.
