Louis P.O.V

I sighed as I finished setting up my outline for my assignment. I was supposed to create a fake company and make a poster for it. I chose to do mine on selling computers. I hit save and continued playing with color swatches for my color pattern "Hey Lou" I heard Liam say as he knocked on my door "what's up mate?". I asked as I turned around in my chair "can we go out tonight? sitting around here and work is making me more sad". Liam and his girlfriend Sophia broke up a couple of weeks ago because Liam wasn't happy with her anymore, he wanted to explore his sexuality because he thinks he is attracted to guys and because she was treating him less like a boyfriend and more like a friend. "Yeah I'm ahead on my work anyway so that's fine.." He smiled "thanks". He and I are really good friends, even though we don't spend too much time together that's just because were both busy.

I put all my school stuff away and got up and started getting ready. I changed out of my sweats into some jeans and a black V-neck shirt and my black adidas shoes. I styled my hair up a bit and brushed my teeth. I opened one of my side stand drawers and put one of my books in there before pulling out a small pile of old papers. Sometimes at night before bed I'll go through my stacks full of things I kept from when I was a kid, just to take a trip down memory lane. I grabbed them and walked over to the small trunk I usually keep them in and set them in there, when a small paper flew out of the stack. I bent down and grabbed it seeing an old drawing I did when I was a kid. I looked at the drawing. I remember seeing this a few times over the years and it always confused me. I know L.T is my initials and in my hand writing.. but I don't know what the initials were or who they were for. The picture I drew was two boys holding hands. I shrugged and slid it back in the pile and shut the trunk, I drew that when I was about 5 so I have no clue.

"I haven't been to this club yet" Liam said as we walked in "I have but only a few times" I said thinking back to when I first started college. I walked over to the bar and asked the bartender lady for a beer. She smiled "should I just have a tab open for you?" I nodded "yea that's fine" I smiled and gave her my card. Liam and I sat on the far side of the club and hung out and talked. We chatted with a couple people who were around us as we continued to drink. I sighed and Liam stood up, I could tell he was tipsy but still functional "I'm gonna go get us some shots" I nodded "okay". He walked over towards the bar to a different section then he and I had been going to. Some guy with black hair and he stayed over there for a while talking before finally coming over. "What was that about?" I teased.

He laughed "nothing... he's the DJ so he was offering that if I had any song requests that I could go up to the d.j booth" I smirked "yeah okay...". He blushed "what." I shrugged bringing my shot to my lips slowly "no nothing... I'm sure you have plenty of requests for him" He lightly punched my leg making me laugh before downing the shot. I washed it down with my beer and looked around the club. A lot of people were dancing and having fun. I was having fun but sometimes I didn't know how to be in situations like these.. I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time and I won't lie, I don't want one. I'm focused on schooling and I don't sleep around. So I just kind of, chilled. A little bit later the D.J who Liam had talked to was in the booth and announced that karaoke would be starting at midnight. I had been drinking quite a bit and was definitely feeling a bit drunk. Not smashed but drunk.. there is a difference. Liam went over to the D.J'ing booth so I finished my beer and watched people dance.

I git up and started making my way to the bathroom and when I was almost there I had this weird feeling over my body. I furrowed my brows and looked down at the floor. I felt like a weird.. I can't even explain it, feeling. I pushed the door open right as someone was coming out and they brushed up against my shoulder. Not hard but with a bit of pressure from how tall they seemed. I stooped on the other side of the door for a moment and touched my shoulder, getting a weird shiver before shrugging and going to the stall.
