Feels Like Home (A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 5 ~ I'll Stay Away

+ Julie's Point of View +

Niall came back, and we all went looking for Harry.

"He's probably in the library", said Zayn. Niall nodded in agreement so we walked towards the library. Zayn couldn't have been wrong, because we all stopped in front of a round table, where a guy with the fluffiest and curliest hair I've ever seen sat. He was wearing some nerdy glasses, no offense, but he was really cute actually. And when he saw us, a big smile was growing on his lips and two wonderful dimples were showing on his cheeks. 

Zayn introduced us. "Julie, this is Harry. Harry, this is our new friend Julie."

"Julie? Cute name. Sounds like a flower." Harry smiled and nodded at us to sit down. I sat down next to him and looked down at his books. "What are you reading?"

"It's a book about cancer. Or, not really. Basically, it's a book about two kids who fall in love, but they both have cancer." He was talking really slow, I noticed, but his voice was low, a bit raspy and very calming.

"Is it good?", I asked.

"It's a great book. It's amazing what the author does to you when you're reading it. This book makes me smile and cry and... I think I might have a huge crush on Augustus Waters, and I'm not even gay."

"Maybe I should read it?"

"You should. You absolutely should. You could borrow it from me, when I've finished it, if you want to?"

"Sure, I'd love to, Harry." I smiled at him, and he started talking passionately about the book. I had never heard of a guy who was so into books before. The boys at my old school didn't even read because it was something that nerds did. But Harry didn't seem like a nerd to me. Sure, his way of dressing wasn't really something to impress, and I'm not sure, but I thought it looked like he had big muscles under that sweater. His arms were huge, and he looked pretty fit. Maybe he was gymming a lot so that he'd always be fit for fight in school in case someone tried to hit him or something?

"Julie, our next class starts soon. Maybe we should go?", said Niall.

"You're right", I nodded. "It was really nice to meet you, Harry. I hope I'll see you tomorrow? Cause' I guess we don't have any classes together?"

"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. Nice to meet you too, Julie."

After dropping Zayn off on the way, Niall and I walked back to our lockers. I got my books and couldn't help but look over to Louis' locker. But he wasn't there, so I shook my head and followed Niall to the classroom. We were supposed to have math, and I was quite good at math but I didn't really look forward to it. I wanted to sit next to Niall, but he said he already had a partner. He didn't really like his partner, though, and he said that if he could change he'd absolutely sit with me.

But everything would be just fine, if I didn't have to sit next to Louis of course. Hopefully, he had a partner too and I got to sit next to someone nice. But whoever was sitting next to Louis, I felt sorry for her, or him. But maybe he was nice to that person? But then again, why wasn't he nice to me? I was new here? Was I so annoying that he could notice it before I even opened my mouth? Really?

Of course, Jules. Why would someone normal actually talk to you? You're weird and stupid and boring and everything everyone hates. Plus you're super ugly.

I sighed and stepped into the classroom. Niall went to his desk, and I just stood there. Waiting for someone to tell me where to sit.

"Hello Miss Bennett, just take a seat", said the teacher without even looking at me. There was two empty spaces. One beside a girl who gazed at me like "if looks could kill", and the other one, of course, beside Louis. I didn't really want to die today, so I skipped to sit next to that girl and quietly sat down next to Louis. He didn't say anything until the lesson had started.
