Polar Opposites

Chapter 6

"I can't believe he just didn't know up!" Lou looks at me as he takes a bite of pizza, his eyes rolling.
I'm laying upside down, my head hanging from the bed and my feet against the wall. He's already had 3 slices of pizza, while I've barely had one.

"Yeah, well he's friends with my brother so I'm not surprised." I don't understand why I became so offended, so upset when Harry didn't show up. But who does that? Texts you the night before and tells you they're coming to your house and not show it? It's fucking rude.

I sit up, looking at Lou as he finishes his piece and takes a sip of his water. He sits crossed legged, his white button up shirt buttoned all the way to his neck, and his blue pants a little too tight. His white converse hang as he sits as a pretzel, waiting for me to say something.

"Do you think I'm attractive?" He spits on his water as I say it, looking at me with wide eyes.

I don't know where my question came from. Ever since Harry called me unattractive, making me feel self conscious and wonder if it's just him who feels this way, or everyone.

"You..can't...be serious.." He coughs between words, waiting for me to laugh and say 'just kidding' but I don't.

"Gee thanks Lou." I stand up, rolling my eyes and turning away, trying not to show my disappointment.

"No I didn't mean it like that, it's just...why are you asking me?" I throw my pink blouse over my shirt, leaving me in a white bra a little too snug, causing my breast to bounce with each step to my dresser.

As I grab a shirt from my dresser, I ignore answering Lou, as I don't want to be upset with him, it's not him who's made me question myself.

I turn to my ihome, turning the music up as I begin to pull my shirt over my head. Before I can get it past my elbows, my door slams open, revealing a drunken girl all over Harry, him smiling as she kisses his neck, his hands on her hips, holding her up.

I freeze, as his eyes meet me, and then my chest.

"Hey! Get the hell out of here! This room is off limits!" Lou stands, uncomfortable as the drunken girl can barely stand, and Harry continues to stare at me.

I turn, completely humiliated, feeling my cheeks turn red. I throw my shirt over my head, and don't hesitate to turn, pushing them out of my room and slamming my door.

"I'm going to kill Niall. Literally murder him. Common." Lou's eyes widen with my choice of words, as I slip on my slippers and put my glasses back on.

"Where are we going?! I'm not going out.." Before he can finish, I'm already out my bedroom.

People line the hallways, sitting on the floor and blocking my path. I continue to push through, determined to reach my brother.

Walking into the kitchen brings a wiff of the smell of skunk and a flood of red solo cups. The room is filled with faces I've never seen before, and I become overwhelmed.

I feel a tugg on my shirt, and I turn to see it's Lou. He follows me through the crowd, handing me a cup.

I lift my eye brow, confused at what it is. "I don't know, I figured you'd want something to calm you down?" He takes a sip, closing his eyes as he swallows, scrunching his face to the burn down his throat. I smile, chugging the cup faster than I should have. I feel a wave of nausea, but ignore it, taking another cup from the counter.

Me and Lou never really drink. The most we've done is stolen nips from our parents, drinking 2 at most and thinking we were drunk.

I walk into the living room, seeing a group of people sit on the couch, Niall and Harry being a apart of it, and that girl sits in his lap. My blood begins to boil, and Lou can tell, tapping his cup against mine, motioning for us to drink.

Niall looks my way, showing confusion as I walk toward him.

"What the hell are you doing down here? Go back to your room with that faggot!" He's intoxicated, as his words slur together. His friends laugh.

"Well, I wouldn't be down here if you told people my bedroom isn't the place to go play around in." I look toward Harry as he says it, and get a smirk.

"Well, I enjoyed the show I got from you while I was there." My cheeks flush, and I can tell Niall is confused, but too intoxicated to say anything. The girl stumbles off Harry'a lap, getting lost in the crowd.

Lou tries tugging on my arm, but I shake it off. Too into this to walk away. I feel warm inside, knowing those two drinks have already done something.

I force a smile toward Harry, as I don't know what else to say. I take a bottle of alcohol from a side table, pouring Lou a drink before drinking from the container myself. It's strong, and burns my throat as it makes itself down my throat.

"Hey, take it easy." Lou whispers behind me, but I ignore it. Continuing to take sips as I make my way over to the couches, taking a seat between Niall and Harry. Niall gives me a look of disgust, and I read his eyes, almost asking me why I'm here.

I look down at my sippers, and see my neon fuzzy socks peeking through. My yoga pants are worn out, and my red tshirt has stains on it. I ignore my insecurities, taking another sip form the bottle and looking around, as everyone continues to drink and pass along something that looks like a cigarette, it smells.

Harry takes a deep puff of the cigarette, and I can't help but admire his lips, pursing around it as his inhales, bringing his dimples in and his eyes to shut. He takes it from his lips, handing it to Niall, skipping me, but blowing the smoke my way, causing my nose hairs to stand.

I grab it from Nialls grip, and bring it to my lips.

"Nic what are you doing?" Both Lou and Niall ask, I ignore them, bringing it to my lips and inhaling, causing my eyes to bulge and my chest to burn. I release it quickly, shoving it to Niall's hand as I begin to choke, feeling the burning deep in my chest and terrible taste in my mouth. My eyes water, and I hold a thumbs up to Lou, who is still standing.

"What the hell is that?" I cough between the words, and become embarrassed when I hear laughs.

"Its weed dumb ass." Niall slips in before taking a hit himself, continuing to pass it around.

"Now, let's play some truth or dare, huh?" I turn to see the words came from Harry'a mouth, and before I realize what I'm saying..

"Sure, me first!" I hear a choke from Lou as he takes another sip from his drink and a nudge from Niall into my ribs.

I hear a laugh from Harry, and turn my head to see him smirking, ready to begin the game.
