Ariel's POV:

When Louis got back into class, he seemed a little distressed and looked off. I gave him a questioning look but he just shot me a smile, shaking his head at me before he came to take his usual seat beside me. "Are you alright?" I ask him and he nods his head and sighs. "I'm fine." he replies and I frown.

"You don't sound like it." I say to him and he rolls his eyes at me. "Just drop it, Ariel. I'm alright." he snaps and I return the glare, both of us now glaring at each other, as if daring the other to look away. He must've forgotten how stubborn and angry I could get, because he's been so nice lately. But now it looks like I'm going to have to be stubborn to get an answer out of him.

"Ariel, leave it alone." he says irritated and I roll my eyes at him. "And what? Keep a secret from me? I thought we were way past that." I retort and he huffs at me.

"Harry was just being himself, you should understand why I'm aggravated." he says dismissively and I scoff at him. "No I don't, because if you were just aggravated you would tell me what happened." I point out and he groans.

"Fine, fine." he says and puts a hand to his head, shaking it slowly. "I'll tell you later, just not here at school." he says and I smile triumphantly. When he catches my smile he rolls his eyes but can't help the small smirk that appears on his face.

"You're going to be the death of me, woman." he teases and I giggle. "I could say the same to you." I tease back and Kristi gives both of us a strange look.

"I think you two are bipolar. One minute you're fighting, the next you're teasing. But I guess that's what you do as a couple, huh?" she says with a smirk and I roll my eyes at her. "I guess so." I say jokingly and Louis just chuckles.

We get quiet when the teacher begins to talk, talking on about some nonsense that he knew none off the kids were listening too. The whole class, I basically zoned out, trying to figure out what had made Louis so jumpy and irritated. I mean, yes, it was Harry and he was pretty annoying most of the time, but it never made Louis act differently before? So that means it must be something really bad.

After class, Louis took my hand and walked us out of the room, going down the halls with Kristi by my side. That was, until Harry showed up again, looking at Louis and me with a smirk on his face. "What do you want now, Harry?" I snap at him and he just chuckles. "I just want to see Louis." he says and Louis gives him a hard glare.

"After school, Harry." Louis warns him and Harry shrugs, walking off as Louis glared after him. "He's such a jerk." I mutter and Kristi laughs. "You think?" she says sarcastically and we both smirk at each other.

After that encounter with Harry, school seemed to go by pretty fast, the meeting between Louis and Harry getting closer and closer. But at lunch time, I saw Louis take Harry out into the hallway where they began to talk, harsh words obviously being spoken between them. I just wish I knew what they were saying...

Louis' POV:

Dragging Harry's sorry butt from the cafeteria and pushing him into the hallway, I give him a hard glare. "Just what are you trying to do?" I ask him harshly and he narrows his eyes. "You fell for her, Louis. I'm trying to tell you that she's going to stab you in the back! Ditch you like you were nothing!" he says and I shake my head.

"You don't know her the way that I do, Harry. She won't leave me." I tell him and he scoffs. "Are you making her stay with you? Because she's always been the big player at our school. We've warned you several times and you won't listen." he says, poking my shoulder and making me wince from the bruise there but I glared back at him.

"You're the one who won't listen Harry. I've tried to tell you several times that she's changed but you won't listen to me! She was that way for a reason Harry." I say and he shakes his head. "Whatever Louis...just know that I was trying to do what is best for you." he says and walks away from me, making me groan and look after him, disappointment settling in on me heavily.
