chapter 7

Harry POV

As we walk into my new school I see a lot of people staring at us and Louis gets quite uncomfortable while I'm just very confused. Why are they staring at us like that?

I stare back at a few people and as they look away, Louis lets out a sigh. It sounds like he's relieved. I don't really understand but I decide not to ask anything about it since Fizzy and Lottie told me to be patient with him. So I will be patient, I'll make him trust me.

After I got my locker and timetable I bump into a guy with blonde hair. 

"Oops I'm sorry", I say because his books are all over the floor now. 

"It's alright", he says with a funny accent. It sounds familiar but I don't know where it's from. Ireland maybe? 

"Are you Irish?", he looks at me with a surprised face and nods. "Yeah".

"Cool, are you new too?", I ask him. "Yeah, I moved here last week. I'm Niall, by the way", I smile before I introduce myself. "I'm Harry, I moved here this weekend."

We talk a bit more and I find out he's a funny guy, I like him, not like that but he could be a great friend. 

We have our first period together, math. I like math, a lot of people think it's weird but I really like math.

I sit down next to Niall and see that Louis sits in front of us, alone. 

"Hey, Louis", I whisper, hoping he'd turn around. 

When he turns around his eyes look like he's been crying again. It kinda hurts me, I don't like to see people sad. He smiles but I don't think it's a sincere smile. 

"Are you alright, Louis?", I ask and his face changes from sad to... almost angry? 

"I'm fine and it's non of your business, Harold", he says, I can hear his voice shaking again just like it did yesterday when we first met. 

"You know, it's alright not to be fine. You can always talk to me if you'd want", I run my hand through my hair. I don't know what's going on with him but I will find out, one day. 

"And why the hell would I want to talk to you? Like it turned out so great the last time I did", he says quietly, tears starting to fill his eyes. 

He turns around and I don't know what to do. "I'm sorry if I hurt you Louis", I whisper and then focus on my math work.

When I walk into the bathroom after school just finished I see two guys beating up another guy. 

Anger rises inside of me and I run towards them, "Hey! What the hell are you doing? Leave him alone!", I yell as I try to stop one of the guys from punching him. 

"Stop!", I yell but they don't stop. 

I kick one of the bullies in the balls and he falls down on the ground, screaming in pain. The other bully tries to kick me but lucky for me I'm faster, I kick him in the balls too and he falls down. 

I quickly make my way to the beaten up guy on the other side of the bathroom. He's crying, obviously. 

But when I come closer I see a familiar face, no, it can't be him. I sit down in front of him and see it is indeed him, Louis. 

They beat up Louis. They're gonna pay for this
