A Day to Forget

Chapter 5:

"You're crazy." Louis shakes his head and whispers to me as he turns his body to look at me. It had been a week since the incident with Niall happened, and Louis wouldn't stop talking about it.

"Well, you're welcome." I shrug and smile at him.

"No really, you shouldn't have done that." His eyes were serious causing an odd look to come over my face.

"Why not?" I lean forward setting my elbows on my knees.

"Because he's a jerk." He shrugs.

"Well I know that." I look away. I just didn't want anymore attention on myself then there already was.

"I'm just saying he's a jerk Liya.." His voice trials off as Niall takes his seat in front of Louis. I shift my weight uncomfortably. He had oddly continued to sit in that same seat for the past week, and I wasn't exactly sure why. I knew I had to pretend I didn't notice, because I knew he would have some smart and jerk remark about it.

He hadn't spoken to me though, thankfully. He hadn't even looked in my direction. I liked it that way and I knew Louis was right. He was a jerk, and he seemed to give off that vibe before you even talked to him.

He suddenly turns slightly and looks over at me, smirking. What the hell was that?

The class goes by quickly, and irritatingly. I stand up at the same time Louis does and we both go to walk out the room. I almost make it by Niall until he throws his hands out knocking my books everywhere. Anger causes me to glare at him of course earning him a chuckle.

"You should watch where you're going." He smirks before walking out of the room with a wave.

Louis helps me scramble my already unorganized papers and books together before we walk our separate directions.

"See you at lunch!" He waves and I nod before walking toward my History class still slightly angry.

"Liyaaa." A girl I had met the first day calls immediately as I walk into the room.

"Hey Amanda." I lightly smile at her enthusiasm.

"What are you doing this weekend?" she surprisingly ask me.

"What?" I knew I held an odd expression, but I couldn't help it. Was she going to ask me to hang out? We had just met, would she really ask me?

"Are you doing anything this weekend? I'm having a party on Saturday. I'd love for you to come! I could introduce you to people." She smiles at me and tilts her head.

I felt unsure about it. Should I? Shifting my weight uncomfortably from her gaze I find myself nodding.

"Great! I'll text you the address!" She squeels causing me to fake smile at her. I watch her run her fingers through her dyed blue hair as she types her number into my phone. She was an odd person for me to be friends with, but she was nice and welcoming.

"You're going to have so much fun. Oh and feel free to bring whoever." She whispers as the class starts.

Pretending I hadn't heard her I bite my lip nervously. Parties weren't my thing, especially not knowing anyone either. Her words ring in my ears. Maybe I could ask Louis to go with me? Even though I doubt he would.

Lunch finally comes around, and I had gotten there early before Louis. Walking in line to get my lunch, I hurry back to the table where Louis's things sit in their usual spot at the edge of the table. He must have gotten here while I was in line. I set my tray down and take my seat as an odd noise comes from the top of Louis's books. Glancing over at it I see his phone vibrating.Curiousity gets the best of me, and I can't help hurrying to look at it.

I told you to drop it.

Is all it says. But the name causes curiosity to fill my body even more. Why was Niall texting him?

Suddenly I hear my name being called causing me to drop his phone back onto his books. Turning I see Louis walking toward me.

"Hey." He sits down across from me and smiles.

"Hi." I offer a warm smile back. I feel panic slightly run through my body as I pray he hadn't seen me look at his phone like a complete freak, which wasn't like me. Curious yes, but never thinking I would do something that weird. Bitting the side of my lower lip, I can't help the question leave my mouth.

"Are you and Niall friends?" Regret slightly stabs into me from the odd expression on his face.

"We were. Why?" He says it expressionless.

"Well I was just thinking about that almost fight you guys got into. You never did tell me what happened." I toss a french fry into my mouth as he takes a moment to think over an answer.

"I was just telling him he didn't need to be rude to you." I wasn't sure if he was being honest, and I wasn't exactly in the best mood, so I decided to let it go.

It was just a bit odd. I guess I couldn't exactly be upset though. Louis and I had just met. He had told me a lot about him, when I had told him little to nothing about myself. I didn't really have any right to make accusations.

"So there's a party this weekend and I was wondering if you'd go with me?" I shrug as I bite into the sandwich on my tray. I watch him stare intently at his milk as he shifts his weight uncomfortable.

"I don't really do the party thing." His eyes suddenly meet mine. They were full of an odd emotion, that seemed to fill my mind.

"I know I don't either. I just really didn't want to go by myself since I would only know a few people." I shrug honestly.

"Why do you wanna go?" He dips a finger full of French fries into his ketchup and plops them into his mouth.

"Well I thought maybe it would be fun. And I don't know maybe I could meet some new people?" I look away thinking over my decision.

"I'll think about it. On another note, you should hang out with me tonight since it's Friday. It could be fun." He smirks at me and I lightly hit his arm over the table.

"Sounds good to me." I smile back wondering what he exactly meant by that.
