  "So how is the move going?" Liam politely ask me as him, Lanston, Danielle and I all sit around a table outside of subway that was luckily on campus.

    I was right when I said I wasn't ready for Monday. This morning Liam offered my a ride which I couldn't decline and morning was the only peaceful part of my day so far.

    Harry actually showed up today, but I found his presence distracting as it seemed as he was thinking hard about something. His gaze was hard on me and burned holes in the back of my head. Zayn also wasn't in art and I can't shake the feeling that it was because of yesterday. Was it? I'm really starting to worry because we have to present out project next period in PBGE (Plant Biology genetic engineering) and I can't do it without him. 

   The weather is comewhat cool and collected for a Monday in New York but I'm not complaining. I'm dressed in a white frill front tank top with a thin burgundy cardigan, black jeans and white converse. My hair is straightened and tightly pulled back into a ponytail. A cheap white watch fastends around my wrist with fake gold rims and a cute bow necklace hangs aroud my neck. It was actually pretty fashionable for me since I usually don't bother with this kind of shit anyways.

   "I live next to Harry." I state buntly and Liam starts choking on the fruit punch he was sipping on. Lanston and Danielle have both stopped their conversation and turned towards us with shocked expressions on thier faces.

      "You what?" They all say and I nod, frowning. 

    "So are you going to move out?" Liam ponders and I shake my head.

    "It has taken me way to long to even convince my parents to let me get my own apartment. I'm not moving." I say.

    "Yeah, plus Harry's not that bad once you get to know him." Lanston states and I chuckle. 

   "Yeah I don't think that's going to happen. He kept me up all night on saturday with his damn stereo." 

    "He'll come around Jo." Danielle repeats Mama Joy's words and I look down, not responding. 

   "So anyways," Danielle claps her hands together and slides down closer to Liam and I. 

  "Zayn tells me your tagging along on our Friday night out. We need to go shopping before then." She babbles and I chuckle. 

   "Your going with them?" Liam raises his eyebrow at me and I nod. 

  "Yeah erm.....Zayn asked me to go with him." I mutter.

  "Do your parents know about this?" 

  "They don't have to know everything, Liam. Plus, i'm almost 19." I snap roll my eyes at him. Why is he acting this way?

   "Just checking." He nearly whispers and looks down at his interwined hands. A pang of guilt sparks in my chest but I ignore it. 

  "Hey Lanny, where's Zayn anyways?" I ask, ignoring Liam and turning towards Lanston who had taken another bite of his footlong. It did occur to me that Niall and Louis were missing too but I didn't think anything of it.

   "He like went to visit his grandparents or something. He's always visiting them on wierd occastions but he says his grandma has cancer or something." He manages with a mouthful and I nod supicously. I throw away my trash and swing my bag over my shoulder.

   "I'm heading to bio guys. Li you coming?" I say and he finally looks up, nodding slightly before grabbing his bag and walking by me side as we exit through the gate. 

   "Look Liam, i'm sorry for snapping at you like that. It's just that my parents worry so much about me that I barle have any freedom." I apologize and he give a reassuring smile.
