Let the light in Boyxboy

You don't know me

The weeks have gone by rather quickly and I've become really close with Niall and Jess and thanks to them I have a few more friends at this school. Its Friday and I'm so excited for the week to finally be over so I can relax a bit. School work here has been kicking my ass lately. As I walk through the front door I make my way to my locker where me, Niall and Jess meet every morning since they arrive a bit earlier than me most days. As I come closer to my locker I see Niall and Jess talking excitedly about something and I'm not sure why. Honestly you never know with those two.

"Hey guys!" I greeted while putting in my locker combo.

"Hey Lou, how's it going?" Niall asked while looking to Jess with a weird facial expression.

"Um I'm doing good" I say as I slowly close my locker after grabbing what I need. "what are you guys up to? You seem as though you're not telling me something."

They bothered grinned. "what are your plans for tonight?'' Jess asked

"well I was going to go home and finally relax. Why?"

"well there's this party tonight. Happens every year, you should come. Tell your mom your spending the night and we can make a weekend out of it." Niall said trying to sell me on the idea.

"Where's the party?" I asked as we made our way down the hall.

"In the woods, it's like a bonfire type thing. Lots of booze and lots of fun" Said Jess excitedly.

"The woods? Doesn't that seem a little cliché for a small-town party?"

"Maybe, but either way it's fun and you should come alright. You should at least experience it just once. Please!!!" Jess begged with Niall following suit.

"I'll think about it before the days over okay'' I said walking a little faster down the hall since the warning bell sounded.

"okay but the answer better be a yes or I'll be very upset with you mister" Jess called down the hall.

"Yeah yeah, I'll keep that in mind." I finished the conversation by rounding the corner and heading to human anatomy. I expect to see Harry at our desk, but he isn't there. I try not to seem disappointed, but I am. Human anatomy drags on for the next hour and a half and were told that we have a test in two weeks. It's a partner test so hopefully Harry shows up for that, so I don't have to do it alone.

When lunch rolls around I agree to go the party and tell Niall id spend the night as well. Jess said we should head to the party together, but I decided to just meet them there because I had to grab some clothes and change. They didn't see, to mind and told me they would text me the address. Finally, lunch was over and I made my way to gym. Ever since that incident with Josh I change in the back where Harry is because it seemed safer but now that he isn't here I'm a little nervous. Making my way around the corner to the gym lockers in the back I don't expect to see Harry. Especially because I didn't see him in class or in the halls but I'm relived he's here. I walk to my spot beside him but he doesn't look up.

"Hey" I say lightly. He doesn't answer even though I know he heard me but I choose to ignore it and continue. "you weren't in class today" clearly stating the obvious.

"You keeping tabs on me now Tomlinson?" he said with a light chuckle finally looking up.

"No!" I rushed out, cheeks getting red. "We just have a partner test in human anatomy and didn't know how to get in touch with you about it." I tried to play it smooth.

"right" he says in a way that I know he doesn't believe me.

I go to slip off my regular clothes so I can change and Harry turns away in record time. I don't know if he wants to give me my space because of the Josh thing or if he finds me repulsive. To be honest it's probably the latter. Figuring I should try to make some sort of small talk I ask him about the one thing everyone's been talking about all day.
