Tell Me a Lie (A One Direction FanFiction) -DISCONTINUED-

Chapter 7: Is this for real?

Chapter 7

Kira POV

Every single pair of eyes in a 20 feet radius is staring, their glances drilling holes into me, making me bleed out my thoughts. Surprisingly I am holding my ground and being a version of me that I never was. It's as if something clicked in that particular moment, something I may never find out.

"No applause eh?" pouts Louis. "I see how it is,"

I laugh and pull Louis into a tight hug. Just the feeling of him holding me again is enough to make me happy. Whenever Alex would hurt me Louis would hold me, just like he's done since we were young. It makes me feel somewhat safe and important. He pulls away after a silence.

"I've missed you Kir-Kir, I must admit," winks Louis. I open my mouth to pelt him with questions but he covers my mouth. "And to clear things up for you: no I did not ditch my girlfriend in Doncaster. Yes I convinced my mum to come, and yes I will annoy the hell out of you here,"

The crowd is still staring, but for me, they're not even here. 

"So...you'll be going to school here?" I ask.

"Nooooo," he says sarcastically. "I'm just going to move all the way here and not go to the same school as you,"

Zayn clears his throat. "Erm...I'd hate to interrupt but who are you?"

Louis steps forward and observes Zayn closely. He looks him over from head to toe and begins to speak. "You seem like a smart lad mate. Let's be friends alright?"

"But who-"

"Now excuse me people!" Louis walks to the center of the circle and throws his arms up in the air. "But the Tommo is tired from the trip and wishes to rest. You'll probably see me later on!"

At that Louis storms off in a random direction trying to act like he knows where he's going and attempts to walk in a random room. I gasp when I realize where he's going.

"Louis no! That's the girls lavatory!" I yell after him.

He yelps and sprints out of the restroom before it's too late. I wince at the sound of the door closing loudly as Louis scuffles past me. My hand lunges out to grab for his shirt or something, just so he won't go and do something stupid again, but I'm too slow. Louis jogs down the hallway and out of sight.

A couple people in the crowd wolf-whistle and I flush bright red. What a wonderful first impression of Louis.

"Wait," Zayn says after a few moments. "I'm still confused,"

"To be honest so am I," mutters Jaclyn, swiping her hand quickly in front of my face, scaring me to death. "Hey, Kira. You still here?"

I place my hands on my cheeks. They feel warm. "Yeah,"

"Okay good," she huffs. "So anyways, who is that?"

I sigh looking off to the corner where Louis disappeared and flashes of memory play through my mind: The first time when I climbed a tree. The time when Louis and I rode our bikes at four in the morning. And of course that time when we shared a large pepperoni pizza in the rain.

I smile ear-to-ear. "It's a long story,"

"Kira!" puffs Niall, stopping in front of me. "Wait!"

"I'm waiting Nialler," I laugh. "What's up?"

"Your friend Louis forgot his bag, books, timetable...okay basically everything in drama class," he says, dropping Louis's bag at my feet.
