Caught

Chapter 3

LOUIS

      This sucks. I really don’t want to be here. Honestly, I am just about to leave. This isn’t my scene and I’d really rather go home.

This bathroom smells like shit…

“Oops. Excuse me.”

“Hi. Oh that’s okay. I wasn’t paying attention.” I seem to blurt out suddenly.

“Neither was I. Jeez, this bathroom is like a crack house.”

“Yeah, it’s a circus in here. Oh sorry, am I in your way?”

“Nah, I was just leaving. Have a good night!” The unrealistically friendly boy says to me.

He must have been high. I’ve never seen him before. He must be new. He was adorable though. He had long curly hair, and if I saw clearly… dimples! He was wearing all black and a ratty looking pair of boots. They looked cute on him. I hate having these thoughts about straight guys. It’s just not often I find a complete stranger attractive. Whatever. I have to get out of here.

“You too.” I manage to spit out as he walks away in a hurry.

I need to find Niall and get the hell out of here. Zayn and Frank are probably off getting into some trouble. Great, Liam Payne is here. I’m sure Zayn already got to see him. I should go check on him.

“Louis! You will not believe the bullshit that just happened!”

“Let me guess, Liam?” I say with a grin

“Yup! That idiot thought he could embarrass me in front of everyone. It didn’t work. As soon as coach grows some balls and makes me captain, he’ll regret putting me through hell. Watch.” Zayn has never looked more vengeful than right now.

He’s all talk really. Zayn isn’t a saint, but he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Unless that flies name was Liam Payne.

“Can we get Niall and get out of here now? I’m sick of this place and we have school in the morning.”

“The night is still young Lou! You never act like this. What happened?”

“Yeah what’s going on with you tonight?” Frank chimes in.

They always know when something isn’t right.

“I’m just tired guys. Honestly. I just thought we should go now. If you want to stay, that’s fine by me.”

“No no, we can go. I’ve had my fun for the night anyways. Are you ready to go sweetheart?” Zayn turns to Frank and looks up at him.

God, how lucky they are. They are genuinely and honestly happy together. When Zayn first came out to everyone, people picked on him and some people were even upset with him. His mother wasn’t too happy about it at first. Over time, she saw how happy he was with Frank. Everyone did. If you can pick on someone who is truly happy, then you have a problem. Frank came out before Zayn though. He was the one who convinced him to. Sometimes I wish I was Frank. I wish I could just not care what people think at all. I wish I could tell them my secret. I wish I could tell someone. I just don’t think anyone would truly understand why I can’t come out. I don’t even think I truly understand it.

I hate when I get lost in my own thoughts.

“Yeah we can get out of here now. I have to be on campus early tomorrow anyways for student assistant. Senior year. I get all the benefits and perks you underclassmen don’t” Frank says jokingly.
