Louis’s POV

As soon as I said it, I clamped my hand over my mouth. It wasn’t true. I don’t know why but it just slipped out of my mouth. The look on Eleanor’s face was worrying, though.

“You…you like… Danielle?” she asked me.

“No,” I wanted to say, “It’s you. I love everything about you from the moment we met. I wish I met you before Hannah. You’re everything she’s not.”

But, of course, I couldn’t say those words. My heart and soul were pleading me to, but deep down, I knew she wouldn’t feel the same way.

“Louis?” She spoke with such a soft, gentle tone that I realised we hadn’t said a word for a long time.

I stared at her, my mouth opening to say something, but no words came out. Her eyes were begging me to answer her; to break the tension. God, she was amazing, beautiful and perfect.

“Yes,” I whispered, even though I knew it was a big fat lie.

“Oh,” she replied, barley looking at me. Great. She thinks I’m a horrible person for liking my best friend’s girlfriend.

No. I had to tell her; it’s the only way. I’ll never know what she’d really say without even trying. Okay, here I go.

“Listen,” I started to say.

“Mr. Tomlinson!” Mr Smith’s face was red with anger; his hands locked on his hips. “Is there something you would like to tell the class?”

My face flushed with red. “No,” I answered.

“Then I suggest that you pay attention instead of gossiping with your peers!”

“Yes, sir,” I mumbled. I looked at Eleanor, who brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, looking at the floor.

“She’ll never know how I feel. Maybe it’s for the best though, you know?” I asked.

I picked at my lunch; tuna sandwich with pickles. It stirred in my mouth and turned goopy and unappetizing.

Liam looked up at me, sighed, and said, “So, you’re telling me, that you have to pretend to like Danielle?”

I swallowed and nodded slowly, not wanting to know his reaction.

“Why?” he asked. “Why couldn’t you just tell her?” He took a bite of his chicken sandwich.

I thought about my answer carefully. Why didn’t I just tell her?

“I guess I thought it would go away, you know? It’s a just a little crush. It’s not like I love her or anything. I just need time to get over it,” I murmured.

But, again, it was another lie. Self-consciously I knew that I was love-struck with this girl. How could you not be?

Liam sighed again, his hands ruffling his brown hair.

“Please?” I pleaded. “You’re the only one who knows about this. No one else knows that I like Eleanor. So just please go along with this.”

He stared at me for a while, thinking his answer through thoroughly.

“Fine,” he finally said. “But It’s gonna be hard to lie to them. I wouldn’t feel comfortable.”

He paused and looked at me, exhaling. I was pouting my lips and widening my eyes, doing the best puppy dog face I could.

“But, okay. I’ll try. Alright?” he offered.

“Thank you, Liam.”
