Never have I Ever

ch 14

Harry and his friends all walked in. Louis was the one I saw first. My lips tilted upward as though to form a smile. I don't know why I was like this right now. Probably because of the sweetness from yesterday.

"Hey girls." Harry sat down next to me and placed an arm around my shoulders. I shrugged his arm off.

"Hi!" Sabrina tried to act bright but I could tell she was still fired up about Alan.

"S'ok," I heard Bekka mumbled to Sabrina, placing a calming hand on her shoulder.

"Ugh school." Zayn whined and threw his backpack on the table. 

"I'm hungry." Niall rummaged through his backpack to find something to eat. Seeing nothing, he sank onto the bench. I reached into my lunch box and tossed him an apple that I didn't feel like eating today. Niall, brightening, thanked me and chomped it down.

"Look who's coming~" Alison sing songed.

"Oh." I abrubtly stood up, startling all of them. Louis was a few feet away.

"I have to go use the restroom!" I announced, over loud. 

"I'm going with her." Bekka chased after me. I was sprinting full speed to the restroom that was half a school yard away. I was technically too lazy to go but right now it was important.

"Are you gonna keep avoiding Louis?" Bekka crossed her arms when we arrived at the restroom. Her facial expression was amused.

"Yes!" I caught my breath.

"Jeez.. I though you guys were friends?" Bekka raised an eyebrow.

"Since yesterday, things have become awkward and different." And different it has become. Now, whenever I looked at Louis, I got this tingly sensation. What is it?

"Awkward, yes. Different? How?" She cornered me.

"I don't know!" I threw up my hands in frustration. Bekka nodded and we stood in silence.

"You know you have to face him one way or the other." She quietly noted. I glared at her, she wasn't helping the situation.

"What do I do??" I wailed.

"Well.... you can....." she tapped her finger on her chin, deep in thought. Meanwhile, I peered outside and saw Alison gesturing at the bathroom we were in. What is she doing? Louis looked this way and our eyes locked. A tingling sensation came back. I jerked my head around and pressed my back against the wall, or rather the mirror. Some girls entered, giving us weird looks.

"I can't think of anything. Good luck!" Bekka finally spoke up before skipping away. I didn't want to be alone so I had no choice but to follow her.

"You're back! You spent five minutes peeing." Seemed like Alison was on a mission to torture me. 

"Shut up," I hissed, sitting down. Alison smirked but didn't say anything else.

"Hey." Louis greeted me. I looked the other way, attempting to ignore him. I heard Bekka snort laughing. I shot her a glare.

"Doink!" Louis grinned like a little child after yanking my hair. The tingling sensation was getting stronger. I had a sudden urge to smile widely. I was kinda extremely happy right now.

"Dude you look like you're gonna blow up." Harry laughed at my face.

"Hey!" I whacked him. He laughed harder. 

"I'm gonna poop out rainbows," I mumbled under my breath. I glanced at Louis, standing in front of me with a confused and hurt expression.

"Why is she ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?" Louis pouted cutely. I wanted to squish his cheeks. I have problems.

"No." Bekka shrugged.

"If it's about yesterday, I'm sorry," Louis looked apologetic.

"No it isn't," Sabrina answered for me. Zayn's eyes widened, "Dude you kissed her already!? And you didn't tell me??" Louis turned all read.

"What!?" Liam did a spit take, water spraying everywhere.

"Eew." Bekka wiped her arm witha disgusted look. Liam apologized and looked at Louis in shock.

"You...kissed her." Harry was blinking so quickly, it seemed like his eyes were electrocuted.

"AHAHAHAH!" Sabrina, Alison and Bekka were all rolling on the ground out of laughter. My face was all red and I looked at my lap.

"Nono!" Louis waved his arms in front of them.

Niall, the only one who was normal, chewed on his apple thoughtfully. "I thought she had a girlfriend?"

"Not anymore!" Bekka sang. My hair covered my tomato colored face.

"So you did kiss?" Harry begged for answers.

"No! We just hung out yesterday as friends!" Louis tried to clarify things.

"Mhm oh~ just hang out!" Zayn had a rape face on his face. Bekka turned Zayn 180 degrees so that he was facing the other way, "Never make that face, ew." I laughed.

"Since when did you guys just hang out with each other?" Liam tried to remember.

"Never." Niall chortled. The girls erupted into laughter again.

"I thought you guys were enemies?" Harry furrowed his brow. For as long as he could remember, they argued all the time. I saw Louis' red face but couldn't help but think it was cute.

"No!" I screamed above their laughing and questions, "We are friends. Barely, and we didn't kiss!" People around us gave us weird looks. Louis looked relieved. There was silence for a long while.

"So, Louis, care to explain to us in great detail about the kiss?" Zayn waggled his eyebrows, teasing him.

"Yeah, tell us all about it," Sabrina propped her chin on the palm of her hand and leaned foward. She and Niall exchanged a hi-5. Ugh.

"Nothing happened!" Louis waved his arms in exsasperation.

"There's no need to be embarrased." Harry reassured Louis.

"So if he's to shy to tell, why don't you?" Bekka poked my arm. Everyone's attention went to me. I kicked Bekka's shin without any effect as my cheeks flamed up.

"No!" I refused to say anything.

"Oh so there was a kiss and you just don't wanna describe it?" Alison cackled. I swear, they will be the death of me.

"Is he a good kissed?" Liam asked out of nowhere. Everyone dissolved into laughter besides me and Louis. He opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang. Saved by the bell! Gleefully smiling, I ran to the door, eager to get away from the topic of Louis kissing.
