New Boy || [ Harry Styles au ] ✔️

24

This would be the first time in a very long time that I had ever felt excited about going to school. The weekends seemed way longer and dragged on due to the whole mess we called a family dinner.

I hadn't seen Lorcan, Louis and Noah in forever. We all certainly had a lot of catching up to do.

The car door was opened for me. I stepped out, hands immediately intertwining with my boyfriend's. Harry leaned down and pressed a kiss on my forehead before pulling me beside him as we walked into the building.

That's right, I was now taking rides from Harry instead of Zayn. I realised the whole sibling fight was going on for too long and apparently he did too. This morning when we were having breakfast, I decided to break the silence. I mean, I was acting childish but he still hadn't apologised.

I was always used to Zayn's affection and attention so when all of that just suddenly diverted onto another girl, it did sting. And besides, him throwing me away when I needed him the most got to me. I was fūcking freezing my arse off, calling my brother for a ride home when he basically tells me to fūck off.

Ouch.

But yeah, Zayn and I decided we'd talk it out today so we planned to go get ice cream after school. Meanwhile, I was trying to convince Harry to do the same with Harper. The poor girl had no fault, I knew how much of a player my brother could get.

I was brought out of my daze when I felt numerous eyes looking at me. Well—more specifically my hands laced with my hot model boyfriend but you catch the drift.

I could practically see steam coming out of some girls' ears, their faces screaming 'That is what you're with?"

I saw my mini group of friends, minus my brother, stand in front of the water fountain, light chatter resounding.

I squealed, letting go of Harry's hand before jumping onto Lorcan and Noah. Louis follows through, the four of us squeezing the life out of each other.

We parted after a while, happy smiles widen on our faces. "Is it just me, or did this weekend seem longer than normal?"

We all agreed to Lorcan's words.

"You are one little vixen." Noah shook her head, a proud smile playing on her lips. Noah nodded in disbelief while Louis had a smug grin plastered across his face.

The four of us were enjoying our lunch break outside, sitting under the trees and casually making conversation. I had just finished explaining to them what had gone down at my house during the disaster dinner which had a surprisingly magnificent ending. Noah and Louis looked like proud parents whereas Lorcan looked like he had just walked in on his parents getting it on. Understandable; he probably never heard something like this from an actual person.

"Guys, since we're on the topic of relationships and what not..." Louis began, sitting up straight and clearing his throat. "I am seeing someone."

"Who's the lucky girl to finally have you settle down?" I snorted, raking my fingers through my long hair. I made a mental note to cut it shorter.

"Olivia." Louis grinned like the Cheshire Cat, eyes scanning us expectantly. My jaw dropped, followed by Noah and Lorcan.

"You mean, uh, H-Harry-Olivia?" Lorcan winced at his own question, but the disbelief was shining through his eyes. His gaze fell on me to see if I would react—I sat still, my mind reeling with emotions.

I mean, I'm happy that Olivia's finally taken by a guy and that guy is not my boyfriend, but then again are Louis and Olivia a good decision?

Noah had gone too quiet. Louis had his hands full trying to convince that he was, in fact, seeing the same girl my boyfriend was 'with'. My eyes travelled to her fists which were clenching onto the material of her loose shirt.

Silently, I slid my hand over her thigh and onto one of her balled up fists. She probably didn't expect my touch so she jumped a bit, but I could tell she was thankful by the tired smile she sent me.

Noah took a deep breath, composing herself before her fake smile appeared. I knew it wasn't genuine because it didn't reach her eyes and her lips looked tight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are currently looking at the most on and off couple of the future." Noah joked, her sudden announcement startling the boys who were bickering. "Please welcome Louis and Olivia!"

"Fūck you Noah." Louis playfully spat, bringing her under his arms and ruffling up her hair.

And for the first time in those past few minutes, I saw my best friend smile genuinely.
