Happily

Happily - chapter 8

Harry's POV

I can't believe Niall took Beth out on a date. I know I didn't tell him that I have feelings for her but I'm so frustrated. I don't know if I should tell him, but even if I do the only thing I'll get out of it is embarrassment he'd never give her up, and I don't blame him. But she clearly is like in love with Niall so even if I had a shot she'd most likely turn me down. Damn. I mean like there are some other girls that I've seen around campus that are fit but they're absolute bitches, or taken so that doesn't leave me much. Maybe I'll meet someone somewhere else ? Ha don't be stupid Harry that will never happen. I try to stop thinking about it. I roll over and face my wall and slowly drift off to sleep. 'Dadada' ugh Nialls ringtone, it's fricken 3am who's calling him. I roll out of bed and walk over to his phone rubbing my eyes. It's his mum calling but his background. It's Beth. All my thoughts come flooding back to my head. Why did he have to go on a date AND put his background has the both of them smiling and eating ice cream. I switch his phone off and sit down on my bed. I can't think straight. Why does it have to be like this. Why couldn't I have been the one to run into her on that first day. I pull on my clothes from the day before and leave.mi need to get some fresh air, somewhere that doesn't have her face on it. But where. The memories of her are everywhere. I've been with her almost everywhere. There's only a few random people stumbling around the grounds now, it being 3am and all. I sit down behind a block of classrooms leaning against a brick wall. I pick up a small twig with a few leaves attached and start playing with it trying to distract myself from my thoughts. Why do I feel so strongly for her even though I know she's with Niall. Actually they're not together, they had one date but he didn't ask her to be is girlfriend. I'm not sure if it's implied that they're dating now or not. Either way it's best if I keep my thoughts and feelings inside, for now anyway.

I get up after a while and slowly walk back to the dorm. Why don't they have fraternities here ? The thought just randomly pops into my head for some reason. Interesting. Oh well. I open our door and walk in, Niall's still fast asleep. I take my clothes off again and climb into bed in my boxers as I was before. I find myself fast asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

I wake up and Niall's not in his bed. That's strange. I then check the time, it's 9:30 am. The meeting about the classes and stuff is in 2 hours. Ugh. I drag myself out of bed and take a shower. I get dressed and text Niall, 'hey, where are you guys ?' I send. They're probably at breakfast or something. 'We're just walking around campus, we'll be at the main area in a few minutes' I got a text back from Niall. Damn they've already had breakfast now I have to go alone. Ugh there's almost nothing worse. I make my way towards the cafeteria and quickly eat my breakfast. I start walking around campus trying to find Niall or someone before the meeting, where the hell are they ? I'll go look where I went last night, I turn the corner and bam! "I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming round the corner, I-" I ran into some girl she's apologising I should to "it's fine, I'm sorry also" I replied, she'd dropped all her papers. I leaned down and helped her gather them "I'm Savannah by the way" she says as we both stand up again "nice meeting you savannah, I'm Harry" I tell her, we both stand there awkwardly "uhm I should get going, bye Harry" she says starting to walk in the direction she was going before I ran into her "okay, bye" I call out to her. She's so preppy but that's kind of cute, I've haven't seen her around before. Maybe savannah will be my Beth.

Liam's POV

Where is Harry ? We've been searching for him for ages and it's almost time for the meeting. "Okay, bye" I hear a voice call out from the near corner, I think it's harry. Speak of the Devil "Harry, we've been looking for you" I say to him "yeah okay" he replies. He seems to be distracted. "Well now that we've found you I'll text Beth and tell them to meet us in the hall" Sarah pipes up while grabbing her phone from her pocket and started texting "yeah, let's get going" I say as Sarah looks up from her phone "yep, they're going to meet us outside the hall" she says as we all start walking. Harry seems different from yesterday, he was all sad and today he's all dreamy and off with the fairies, I wonder who he was talking to coming around that corner ? Probably some random asking for directions.

We arrive at the hall and I spot Niall waving at us. We walk over and harry goes back to his usual mood, I still wonder what made it change. "Hey guys" Beth greets us "hi" we all answer not in unison. We forward into the hall and take our seats and the girls start chatting away, so I take the chance to talk to Harry. "Hey mate, what's been up lately ?" I ask him "what do you mean 'what's been up lately' ?" He replies "well you've been looking pretty sad and grumpy lately" I told him "no I haven't" he snaps back proving my point "well suit yourself but you can talk to us about anything remember" I offer him my opinion "yeah I know" he answers with no emotion. Well then. I turn around and join in the group conversation.

A bunch of professors walk into the room and silence everyone. "Good morning. I'm professor dalton" a middle aged lady spoke into the microphone that was set up at the front of the hall. "As you know everyone will be starting classes very soon, you should all have your timetables and it would be smart to find the rooms you have them in so you don't get lost" she informs us "so we are going to go over the rules and regulations about the college, including information about your dorms and what not" she tells us. The professors take turns in speaking and a long time later they finally finish talking. "Thank you, we hope you all have as much fun as we did at college. Your dismissed" someone called Dr singant, a science professor dismissed us. "Well I think we can all agree that, that was bloody boring" Louis tells us all while we walk out of the hall "yeah a bit" El adds. They're perfect for each other I think. Beth leaves to go back to her dorm for some rest as she stayed out late and we scared the shit out of her last night, so she probably didn't sleep very well after that. Everyone else makes excuses to part their own ways. "And then there were two" Sarah says filling the awkward silence "haha yep" I laugh a little, not knowing what to do "do you wanna like walk around ? Or grab lunch ?" I ask her hoping she won't leave me alone. "I'm not really fussed" she answers. Damn. "Well I'm starving" I tell her hoping she is to, "same, besides when is food never the better option ?" She says giggling a little. She's so damn cute.

Maybe I should ask her out right now ?

Nah, I want it to be special not while walking to the cafeteria.
