two: study habits
“How in the fuck am I supposed to know what year the constitution of the United States was signed? This is fucking England." Niall grumbles, flipping through the pages of his world history book as he tried to study for his midterm. Between Louis blasting some obnoxious song and Niall's ever growing headache, it was proving to be nearly impossible for Niall to retain any information.
"SHE SAID I'M HAVING YOUR BABY, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." Louis' voice booms out through their shared flat, Niall groaning as he bangs his head against his desk. He couldn't fail this test, if he failed it he'd fail the class and Niall really couldn't afford to fail this class. Failing would mean losing his scholarship and Niall couldn't afford school without his scholarship... he was already working two jobs and that was just barely enough to make rent. Luckily Louis didn't mind helping out, hence why Niall was tolerant of the very obnoxious song. Niall couldnt even remember who sang it, all he knew was that Louis was borderline obsessed with the guy.
“C'mon, Niall... you gotta get this down.” Niall says after another minute of not doing what he was supposed to. He opens up the text book again, grabbing his highlighter as he tries to study. He doesn't get very far before Louis is bursting into his room.
“Louis, what the fuck?” Niall manages to get out after he's over the initial shock.
“Zayn is here with the pizza, better get some before he eats it all again.” Louis says and Niall figured it's time for a break. He follows Louis into the kitchen where their raven haired friend is already at. Niall thanks him as he hands him a plate, the younger sitting down at the table first.
“So, how goes the studying?” Zayn asks after he too sits down, looking at his friend across the table who had yet to actually start eating.
“It goes, I guess. I'm pretty certain I'm going to fail at this point, not much I can do about it.” Niall says, earning an eye roll from Louis.
“You always say that and then end up getting like a 99 on it. You'll be fine, stop stressing.” Louis says, Niall grimacing as he talks with his mouth full.
“Thanks, Lou. I suddenly feel all better now.” Niall grumbles, but he takes a bite of his pizza.
“I've got something that might cheer you up.” Zayn says.
“Oh?”
“So, you know how I've been interning at this radio station right? Well it turns out they've got three extra tickets along with backstage passes to the Harry Styles concert in London next month and I'm the lucky winner of said tickets and passes.So I'm thinking the three of us can go together.” Zayn says, earning a scream from Louis and a very confused look from Niall as he didn't see how that was supposed to cheer him up. He didn't even know who this Harry Styles was...
“I could literally marry you right now, Zayn. Oh my fucking God.” Louis continues to freak out, throwing his arms around Zayn as Niall remains confused.
“So um... who exactly is Harry Styles?” Niall asks, Louis just about choking as he looks at Niall like he had lost his mind.
“He's like the love of my life, Niall. We listen to his music basically every day, I was listening to him not even a half hour ago.” Louis says, seemingly appalled by his friend’s lack of knowledge of the most beautiful man he'd ever laid eyes on.
“Oh...” Niall says slowly, but he's still confused. He knows better than to say more though, Louis might go after his head if he isn't careful.
“Thanks for the tickets, Zayn.” Niall says instead, smiling softly at his friend before he hears his phone start to ring. Niall excuses himself, grabbing the phone off its charger in the living room before returning to the kitchen. He doesn't recognize the number, silencing the call as he sits back down.
“Is that a new phone?” Zayn asks, warning a nod from Niall.
“Yeah, had to change my number cause West wouldn't stop calling me.” Niall says, watching as his screen goes dark. If it was important, they'd leave a message.
"I thought you made it clear it was overwith the restraining order?" Louis asks, earning a shrug from Niall who really just couldn't eat now. He could feel his stress starting to build, his head pounding to the point where he could barely hear himself think.
"So did I, but that didn't stop him from calling me very fucking second. It didn't matter if I blocked his number, he'd call me using his roommate's phone or his sister's. So I got a new phone and the only ones who know the number is you guys, my bosses and my parents." Niall says, earning a nod from Zayn before they change the subject of the conversation back to Harry Styles. Niall tries his best to join in, but he had a hard time relating with the obsession of a pop star.
Eventually he excused himself, going back studying only to have his phone start ringing yet again with the same number as before. Niall contemplates answering it, but the fear it's his ex stops him.
But then it's flashing across his screen for the third time and Niall can't help his curiosity.
So he answers the phone.
