Fate

Chapter 25

Lexi's POV:

I felt like dropping to sleep in Sociology but Zayn's stupid questions were keeping me awake.

"I heard what happened after the football match, I knew Louis was a waste of space. I can't believe he didn't tell his mother that you weren't together anymore" Zayn said, I was suprised how fast news spread in college.

"Its not like you were a much better boyfriend to me" I admitted making Zayn scowl.

 Zayn was always quick to criticise Louis at every chance he could get but he was far from the perfect boyfriend. When he was supposed to take me out on our first date he didn't turn up till 10pm as he had forgot.

I was stupid enough to give him another chance to take me out and he took me to McDonalds. When we got to the cash register to pay he searched through his pockets only to find he had left his wallet at home. I had no money with me as I'd expected him to pay so we spent the day at the park.

The park wasn't great as after 5 minutes it started to rain so we spent an hour under an tree for cover until the the rain stopped. Even after the bad date I was still won over by his charming nature. He kept complementing me saying I looked beautiful even though after the rain I looked like a drowned rat.

"Well it's not like I cheated on you. I would have never done anything like that" He defended himself, I didn't mean to hurt him it just annoyed me how he was always trying to make our he was the better person compared to Louis and I shouldn't have dumped him.

"I know" I stated ending the conversation.

We didn't speak for the rest of the lesson. I wanted to say sorry but then I remembered that he was the one that started the conversation.

As soon as sociology finished I walked out the class to the common room before Zayn could catch up. A group  of people were walking out of the common room but I felt I had enough time to get past before they came out.

One of them turned round and looked at me, Liam. I hadn't planned on talking to him, especially as I was in a mood.

"I'll catch you up" He told his group of friends. "Are you alright Lexi?" I didn't realise that I looked upset for him to notice.

"I have been meaning to speak to you, but are you ok?" He asked, his hand was on my shoulder. He must have noticed that I was looking at it so he pulled his hand away.

"Um yeah" I mumbled, I wasn't in the mood for talking. I really wanted to speak to him but the common room wasn't the right place. I could already see Harry and Charlie on our usual table looking at us.

"Ok I'll speak to you later, I'll text you" he said and went to find his friends.

"What was all that about?" Harry questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing he was just telling me something to tell Andy" I lied. I wasn't going to tell him about Liam as it would mean he was right about me liking him.

He thought that I liked Liam ages ago but I was quick to deny it. I wasn't  even sure what was happening between me and Liam so I was hardly going to tell Harry and then nothing happen from it. I knew that if I did tell him he'd go and say something to Liam.

I wanted to tell Charlie but I couldn't with Harry sitting right there and there was no way to get her away without it being suspicious.

He narrowed his eyes and then replied "Ok"

***

I clutched my phone waiting for Liam to text me. I then remembered that I had never had never given Liam my number so unless he got it from one of my brothers he wouldn't be able to.

A few moments later my phone vibtated with a message from an unknown number it read *Hey it's Liam, how are you?*

I knew I was being silly but I didn't want to text back too quickly as I thought he may think I was one of those eager girls, which was kind of true. I also didn't want to text back too late so it looked like I didn't care or wasn't interested.

I ignored all the stupid thoughts on my head and texted him back. I couldn't really think of anything interesting to say back other than I was fine so I just asked him the same thing he asked me.

*I'm fine thanks, you?*

*I'm good, you looked upset at college do you want to talk about it?* I knew he was going to say something about college but I didn't want to bore him with the whole story.

*It was just Zayn being an idiot but I'm fine now. Just wondering how did you get my number?* I asked to change the subject.

*Harry gave it to me at his party. He was drunk and slurred something about having your number would be useful in the future*

I never thought he would have got it from Harry although he probably only gave it to him because he was drunk.

*Oh ok* I then realised that I'd probably ended the conversation and that he wouldn't text back.

*We should meet up sometime and talk properly when are you free?* he asked which made my heart leap a bit as he had finally asked me what I had been wanting him to. Even though I knew I wasn't an actual date the thought of us being together made me excited.

*Anytime really, you choose*

*Thursday after college? If that's not too soon* I was glad he had chosen Thursday as it meant I wouldn't have to wait to long to see him. It also meant I didn't have long to worry about it.

*Yeah that's fine see you then x*

I know this is a kind of filler chapter but I want this fanfic to be realistic rather than everything happening so fast. I hope you liked this chapter. I've actually surprised myself for updating so quickly. I hope you all like that I'm updating more often. Please vote and comment xx
