Better H.S

CHAPTER 2

H A R R Y

Soon enough, lunch rolls round the corner. I walk out of class and make my way to the dining hall. The smell of italian foods hits my nose and I line up in the queue.

I put the steaming plate of pasta on my tray and grab a bottle of water. I pay for my food and then look around for a place to sit. "Hey Harry!" I hear someone yell and see Zayn standing up and waving at me from a table in the corner.

I walk over and put my tray down next to Niall's. "How was sports science?" Zayn smirked.

"Remind me to ditch it with you next time." I laugh, referring to the long hour and a half of listening to the professor basically give a physics lesson. Zayn and Niall decided to ditch but I didn't since I didn't want to get into trouble.

One of my biggest regrets in life.

We talk for a while having random conversations about different things. I learnt that Zayn lives with his sister, who goes to this university, and his mum near the town. Niall lives in the dorms with a bunch of other guys.

"Well if it isn't the asshole who left me to take the bus this morning." The brunette girl who was in my class this morning, says to Zayn.

"It's not my fault you couldn't get your fat ass out of bed on time." He jokes. The girl sits next to him and elbows him in the arm. "Where's Liv?" Zayn asks.

"She'll be here soon." She tells him, with a small smile. "And who's your new friend?" She quirks her eyebrow at me.

"I'm Harry Styles." I introduce myself.

"Lorrie Malik, also known as the better Malik!" She smirks and I laugh. Zayn glares at her playfully. "You're the new kid Zayn told me about, right?"

"In the flesh." I exaggerate and she laughs.

"You wouldn't believe the amount of girls I've heard say how hot the new kid is. To be honest, I have to agree even I want to bang you." She says and I feel my cheeks heat up.

Zayn slaps her on the arm, "She has no filter." He mouths and I nod.

"Do you guys know how many people I had to shove out if the way just to get a fruit salad and a drink?" A voice says from behind me. I turn around and see the same girl from my class this morning.

As soon as she see's me she smirks and moves to sit down next to Lorrie. "I see you fuckers finally have a new friend."

"Um, you're our friend too." Niall points out.

"Am I Niall?" She says and Niall glares at her. "I'm Olivia." She holds out her hand for me to shake.

"Harry." I shake her hand from across the table. I look at her for just a second longer, there was just something about her that I found so intriguing.

She seems tough and not really one to give a shit about much. Everytime I look at her the same smirk lingers on her lips. She rediated confidence and it was something so different to what I was use to. There weren't many girls that I would hang around with who would be as confident and put together as she is.

"So, Liv, why were you late to class today?" Zayn says, breaking the silence.

"You know, the usual crap: woke up late and had to get the bus 'cause my car wouldn't start." She explains.

"Uhuh." Zayn rolls his eyes, not believing her at all.

"So Harry, I hear you're from New York?" Olivia wonders, changing the subject.

"Well, originally, I'm from Cheshire in England but my Dad works in New York so we moved there when I was thirteen. I went to NYU but it wasn't the best place for me so I moved here." I tell her.
