The Princes of the Night

Why is she so special?

“Louis, I’m sorry! I didn’t even see her in the parking lot! Honestly! I just sensed someone heading to the office so I went and-“

“Drop it, Liam. What’s done is done. Hopefully making her second guess herself will make her forget about seeing you in the parking lot completely. All we have to worry about is curly, over here,” Louis laughed as he tousled Harry’s curls. 

“Yeah, Harry! You could’ve blown it for us!” Niall gave the green-eyed boy a glare.

“Oh, relax! She just thinks she’s going crazy,” said Zayn while Louis and Harry nodded in agreement. Niall and Liam exchanged concerned looks before following their friends to their first period History class.

“Nice of you boys to finally join us,” their teacher, Mr. Simmons, said sarcastically with a scowl as they walked into the classroom.

“Sorry, Sir. It won’t happen again,” Louis smiled and looked into his teacher’s eyes. It’s fine. Just take your seat, boys.

“Its fine…..Just take your seat, boys,” the teacher said with a blank expression. The boys laughed and sat down. 

“Lou, you should be more careful about who you use compulsion on!” Liam whispered to him.

“Funny, you didn’t seem to be arguing when I was using it to clean up the mess you made earlier,” Louis replied with a smirk and Liam shut up immediately.

Niall, Louis and Zayn began playing cards while Liam took notes. Harry on the other hand, was staring out the classroom window. His thoughts went to Lizzy. When he saw her in the parking lot, he’d assumed she was just one of the many girls that fancied him and the boys. But the look she gave him when he was laughing at her was not embarrassed or hurt, it was pissed. She was mad at him for laughing and Harry didn’t understand why but he couldn’t help but feel bad. Maybe it was because all the other girls would’ve just giggled and blushed if they were in a similar situation, but Lizzy….she was different. I wonder how upset Louis would be if I made another appearance in her mind, he thought to himself.

He would be very upset, Haz, Louis growled in Harry’s mind suddenly. He turned to face his friend and was shocked to see his blue eyes glaring into his own. I know I didn’t get mad at you for earlier but pull a stunt like that again and I make no promises. Harry rolled his eyes and looked back outside the window.

I’m serious, Harry, Louis warned.

Ok, Louis. I heard you. Loud and clear, he replied. Louis patted his shoulder and returned to the card game with Niall and Zayn. Harry decided to sleep for the rest of the class and didn’t wake up until the bell rang in his ears. 

“Remember to read chapter 25 in your history books tonight! Tomorrow you will be quizzed!” Mr. Simmons yelled as they exited the room.

Harry stopped in his tracks when he saw the familiar brown hair and matching brown eyes walking out of the classroom across from his. Lizzy pushed a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear as she made her way to her next class. Why was he so intrigued by her? She wasn’t the most gorgeous girl in school, but the simplicity of her looks seemed to be even more attractive. It must’ve been the way she carried herself. She walked with a confident air about her. Harry admired her Beatles t-shirt under her black leather jacket. So they were into the same music? And she wore a pair of old converse all stars? She was almost perfect for him. But she wasn’t the type of girl Harry ‘went for’. Or at least the type everyone expected him to go for. 

“Harry, admiring the new girl?” Liam laughed suddenly, forcing Harry to move his gaze from the girl’s bum. 

“Yeah, admiring how boring she looks,” he lied with a smirk.

“I dunno, she looks pretty cool. She’s real fit, too,” Niall said as they stared after her. 

“I think Harry just means she’s not wearing tight shirts that show her tits and a short skirt that shows her knickers like the birds he usually goes for,” Louis mocked. The group laughed while Harry searched for the girl in the crowd but she was already gone. He frowned before sighing and leading his friends to their next class. 

He honestly couldn’t explain why this girl, out of all the girls in school, had caught his attention. Harry could get any girl he wanted, and he had had just about every fit girl in town. So, why her? Why Elizabeth? 

You know why...
