You

Chapter 3

Hey guys!

How do you like it so far? Am I moving too fast? Too slow? I need your opinion.

Here's the next chapter

___________________________

I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing. Who the heck would call me at the butt crack of dawn.

"Hello?" I groggily answer.

"Hey Lilly! Did I wake you up?" Meg asks. How is she so cheery at this time of day. Most teenagers are going to bed at this time of day.

"Yea but it's fine, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come hangout?"

"Now?" I ask. I'm not even fully awake yet.

"Why not?!?!" This girl is crazy but I don't want to let my first friend down. I'm gonna hate myself this for doing what I'm about to do, but it's too late.

"Sure I will be over in a half an hour" I say getting out of bed.

Luckily I didn't have anymore nightmares.

Once I eat breakfast, I put on some jeans and sparkly tank. Then I plug my curling iron in and curl my hair. Then I put some mascara and lip gloss. I'm not the kind of girl who puts on tons of make up. Mainly because I make it look like a four year old did it.

I grab my key and leave my apartment. It's funny how I haven't even known this girl for a day and I am hanging out with her.

Once i get to her apartment i realize that this is the one my mom told me to stay away from. I quietly laugh and knock on the door. Meg yells it's open, so I let myself in. When I get in I look around. Her apartment is neat and the colors are bright. Her apartment is a little smaller than mine, but I like it. Then I see Meg still in her pajamas.

"Why did you get dressed?" She asks obviously confused. Was she planning on staying on staying in her pajamas all day?

"I have to go shopping so I figured I would go after hanging out with you" I tell her.

"Ooo! Can I come?!" She coos.

Why not?!

"Sure" I laugh.

Just then the door opens and three guys walk in.

"Hello beautiful I'm Niall" the blonde says.

"I'm Lilly Meg's neighbor, I moved in yesterday" I say.

"Hey Lilly, I'm Louis nice to meet you" the second one says. He has brown hair and deep blue eyes.

The third one has curly hair and lots of tattoos and he just goes and sits down on Meg's couch. He doesn't even make eye contact with me.

Okay that was rude.

"What are you guys doing here?" Meg playfully whines.

"What? I'm not allowed to come see my girlfriend?" Louis asks and then leans in and kisses her on the lips. The kiss turns into a full on out make out.

I feel a little pang of jealousy. Jack never showed that much affection in front of anyone. But Meg is a good person so the jealousy dissolves quickly.

"Keep it PG kids!" Niall giggles. Niall is really nice and if I may add... Pretty attractive as well. Wait! What am I thinking? I have a great boyfriend who loves me very much.

Louis and Meg pull away after the comment Niall makes. Meg announces she's going to go get ready and walks into her bed room.

"Really?! You had to interrupt me" Louis says playfully punching Niall. I can't help but laugh at them. I think I even heard the curly haired boy laugh a little.

While Meg is getting ready I talk to the guys. I find out that Louis is majoring in teaching and Niall is majoring in english. The curly haired boy still hasn't said a word. He has just sat on his phone the entire time. We sit in silence until Louis speaks up.

"What are doing on that phone of yours harry?" Louis asks wiggling his eyebrows.

His name is harry.

Harry flips him off and continues what he was doing on his phone.

Maybe he is shy? I don't know why, but I am oddly curious on why he is so closed off. Maybe he will be at the party on Saturday and he will loosen up a little. I'm not the kind of person who judges someone right away.

"So Lilly do you have a boyfriend?" Niall asks. Pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Y-yea" I smile.

Harry seemed to tense up a bit when he heard my answer. Damn! He is so mysterious. I can't figure this guy out.

"What's he like?" Louis asks.

"Well he's nice a-" somebody cuts in.

"Nice? To describe your boyfriend to use nice?" He tries not to laugh.

"Yea. And why do you suddenly care? You didn't even introduce yourself" I sass. Making his face fall a little. Was I rude? Did I take it the wrong way? He looked hurt by my tone.

Then Meg walks into the room before anyone can say anything else. Thank god.

"You ready?" Meg asks. I nod.

She is wearing an outfit that I would never be confident enough to wear. She had leggings and crop top on along with her hair in a bun. But she looked good, she owned her look and I admired that about her.

"We will be back later boys, behave yourselves" Meg announces as we leave.

We decide to take Meg's car since my car is basically a death trap.

She plugs her phone in and a familiar song comes on.

"Do you mind if I turn it up?" She asks.

"Go ahead I love this song!" I squeal.

We sing along with the music as we cruise down the free way. Then I turn the music down. I am constantly thinking about Harry and his strange behavior. I can't help but feel bad for snapping at him. I have tons of questions about him running through my mind. Before I can stop myself I ask her a question.

"So what's up with that harry guy?"

"Harry is just... well, harry. At first I know he comes across as a total dick, but as you get to know him it gets better" she answers.

"How long have you known harry?" I ask

"I've known harry since we were in diapers. He's like a brother to me. Actually he is friends with my brother"she says.

"He just seemed so shy and then Niall asked me about my boyfriend and he was suddenly seemed to be into the conversation" I tell her.

"You know he is just unpredictable" she says.

The rest of the ride we listen to more music. And Within ten minutes we are at the mall.
