LIANNE

After the three classes, lunch came. I was packing up my things when Niall come up to me.

"Ready to go, Li?" he asks and I nodded once I finish gathering my book. I have Literature with Niall which is great to be honest because if it wouldn't for him. I would be embarrassed by the fact that Chase Jacobs is in my class. I look up and find him walking out with Yvonne beside him. I sighed at the sight.

'Snap out of it, Lianne. He's popular, you're not.' I said to myself. Downgrading my non existent confidence.

Me and Niall join the group of students who walk out of the room. I was spaced out for a moment but snap out of my trance when Niall flicked his fingers in front of me.

"Are you even listening?" he asks and I sheepishly smiled at him. "I take that as a no. Daydreaming about Jacobs, eh?" he asks and I sighed.

"Can you blame me? I mean look at him." I said and dreamily sighed while making a point. He chuckles and drape his arms over me.

"I get it but there are other guys out there, Li. Like Harry." he teased as he guided me in the cafeteria.

"Ew. Niall, me and Harry are friends. I treat him like a brother. That would be so awkward. Can you and Stacey drop that already?" I said and pushed his arms away from my body. He laughed at me and made me fall in line.

"Chill, Evans. I'm just kidding. Well, it's your turn for our today's lunch." he said and I groaned. How did I forgot? Well, every first day of school I'm the one whose paying the lunch, then, Harry, next was Stacey then Niall. It's a tradition.

"Shoot, I forgot. Well, what do you want?" I ask Niall. Once we are in front of the line, I say my order and paid for it once it was served. Niall holds the tray while I hold the other. We find an open seat and occupy it. Once we were settled, Harry and Stacey came.

"Good to know you remember what I like, Li." Harry said while scooting closer to me. Stacey did the same but kiss Niall cheeks first.

"Of course, I did. You order the same damn thing everyday last year." I told him and he smiled at me. I look around the cafeteria while they are talking and my eyes landed on Chase's table.

He is laughing about something Nick says. Yvonne and her clique was seating there too. Yvonne was practically throwing herself at Chase but Chase didn't mind her.

"Hey, Lianne!" I heard Stacey said as I look at her.

"Huh?" I said and she giggles.

"You're not listening because you're daydreaming again." Harry told me and I look at him.

"Sorry, but what is it?" I told him and he looked at me.

"Okay, well, we decided that I'm going to pick you up later because Stace and Niall here have a date so they will be late." Harry said and I nodded.

"Okay, what time will you pick me up?" I ask him while shoving a piece of chicken in my mouth.

"Since I have football practice later, maybe around 7:30. Is that alright?" he told me while munching his hamburger.

"Yeah, that's good." I agreed and he smiled at me.

"You know, staring at Chase will not help you get him to be yours. Talk to him." he said and I look at him. Surprise by the fact that he is now giving me an advice to get Chase. I cupped his cheeks and squeeze it, he supress a groan.

"Are you Harry? Do you use drugs? Because I swear if you do, I'll beat the shit out of you." I told while looking at every inch of his face. He chuckles but look straight into my eyes. My eyes stare directly on his too. His eyes were hypnotizing mine. It feels so strange at the same time feels good. I don't know. I saw his eyes shift from my eyes to my lips. He leans slowly but he was snapped out of his trance when Stacey squeals.
