Opposites ~ n.h (rewriting)

Chapter 5: Apologies, injuries and heavy subjects.

I woke up the next morning at 7, class starts at half past 8 and I'm trying so hard to resist the urge of crawling back into my bed for the rest of the day. I can't. I turn away from my bed, take a shower and get dressed. I make myself a sandwich real quick, put it in my mouth and walk out the door, up to El and Lou.

"Luna, you're early!" El says opening the door. "Yeah, I'm trying to resist going back to bed and sleep." I smile walking in.

"No offence, but you do look really tired." Louis chimes in.

"Yeah, I've been up nearly all night, only slept for about 3 hours."

"I have an early practise anyway, so I can take you now if you want to?" Louis suggests, looking from Eleanor to me.

"Yeah sure! Thanks." I say. I'm actually really happy that I will be on campus early, who knows who I'll run into. We all get in Louis' car and Eleanor turns on the radio, playing a song by The Fray.

"God, I love that band." Louis says before softly singing along.

"I don't really know them, but I kinda like this song." I say. I'm carefully listening to the lyrics of the song playing. 'Happiness feels a lot like sorrow. Let it be. You can't make it come or go.' I don't know why but I really love the lyrics.

"What kind of bands do you really like, Luna?" Louis asks me, looking me in the eye shortly.

"Bastille and I really like Ed Sheeran."

"Oeh, I like that ginger boy, he's a good singer!" El says. Soon we've discussed every single Ed Sheeran song and Louis parks his car on campus.

"Thanks for taking me, Louis!" I say already walking towards the lecture building.

I walk through the now familiar scene; the trees, the benches, the buildings and the paths that lead to every corner of the campus. It's slightly relaxing watching the scene, the sound of people talking around me and the wind blowing through the branches of the trees. Everyone seems to live in their own world, their own story.

"Hey drunk girl!" His accent betrays him and I immediately know he's talking to me. Without turning around I snap.

"What?!" Although I can hear him walking up to me I refuse to turn around. He grabs my arm to turn me around but I jerk away from his touch before he gets the chance. "Don't touch me!" I was in such a good mood despite my lack of sleep and now some asshole has to ruin it.

"Listen to me." Niall says softly, taking me by surprise. I expected him to get mad, and bark at me like he usually does. Hell, I had expected him to do anything but this. "I know you don't trust me and you probably think I'm an asshole." He starts.

"That's an understatement." I say, looking him straight in the eye not showing any kind of emotion. "I know, but I just wanted to apologize for the way I've been acting towards you." I can see in his eyes that he really means it. I'm not going to give in, I know that if I do he will just go back to treating me like shit.

"Okay." I shrug my shoulders. Surprise flashes over his face. He obviously didn't see that coming."Didn't see that coming, did you?" He looks at me confused. "Listen, Niall. You probably think I'm easy to forgive but no. If I do you will just go back being the arse you always was, so leave me alone okay?!" I turn around and walk to my class. Shit, I'm late.

After sneaking in class, taking notes and trying really hard not to fall asleep for 3 hours, my class is finally over. This lack of sleep is giving me a headache.

"Hey Luna." I hear the slow speaking, soft voice that I know all too well behind me.

"Harry? I thought you were stepping by later in the afternoon." I turn around.
