Rainy Days

Chapter 2

Day three. I've know Louis Tomlinson for only three days. I thought I'd be able to figure him out by now. But so far, nothing.

Today is Friday. Thank god! I love Fridays. Saturdays are even better, but Fridays are still pretty great. I guess I'm just really excited because I got invited over Lou's house for dinner to tonight at 6:00. Well, Louis didn't actually invite me. It was his mom, but still.

Next week, hopefully, my mom will be home for dinner and we can have them over. His mom seemed so friendly. She came up to my door and invited me just like that!

* * *

3 minutes till the bell and I'm out of here. I look over at Lou and he's looking at the clock tapping his foot. He Probably wants to leave too, because really, who doesn't!

I'm really excited for this afternoon because I'm eating dinner with Lou! At his house! I get to see what it looks like! Is that creepy..?

"All students are dismissed at this time." The loud woman on the speaker says interrupting my thoughts. I rush to gather my things together.

My first instinct is to point out Lou. He already left his seat. He's not even in the classroom! This makes me kinda mad. "Does he think he can just.. ditch me like that! He could at least waited for me! But nooo." I say to myself.

I start walking out of the classroom fiercely and fast ranting about Louis to myself. As soon I as get out the doorway Lou appears right in front of me.

"Thought I left you..? Didn't you?" He says with a smirk on his face.

I could feel my cheeks getting red.

"Well, I guess. I mean, you could say-I just." I sigh and then try to figure out my words. "Yeah, I did." I say smiling a little.

Lou giggles trying not to laugh to hard.

I find myself staring at him, trying not to laugh.

"It's not funny!" I say slapping him on the arm with my history book.

"Haha, It is though." He says still letting out little laughs.

"No, it's not. Now c'mon." I tell him grabbing his sleeve and pulling with me heading outside.

"Alright, alright, you can let go, Scarlett. I think I know how to walk by myself." He says sternly pulling his arm away, not laughing anymore.

"Fine. But let's hurry."

I look at one of the clocks in the hallway: it's 2:55.

I start speeding walking with Lou behind me. "You coming slow poke?" I look back at him with a sarcastic face, reaching the front door of the school.

"Yeah. Yeah. But why are so you in a hurry, Scarlett?" He asks me sounding irritated. But even so, I loved the way my name sounds coming from his mouth.

"I'm not! I just wanna get home." I say defensively while pushing the door open.

We don't really talk for the rest of the way. Just walking with each other as a companion. I'm walking right next Lou. I look down at our feet, trying to keep a semi-fast pace; I'm wearing my browm mokisons and he's wearing his black white keds.

I glance over at him and he's just looking the other way at the houses across the street. I look back down at our feet, and I try to get my walking to be in sync with his. In the attempt I trip on my own feet and fall over. Louis didn't seem to be paying attention and kept walking.

"OW." I say.

He turns back at me."God, Scarlett. What even happened?" he asks.

"I was just walking and tripped on nothing..?" I question back to him.
