Chapter 15

This is a filler but hope you enjoy it anyways :)

***

After breakfast Harry walks be back to the apartment and says he’s got practice with Niall so he’s got to go, I don’t mind, I would like to spend more time with him but he does have his own friends and a social life outside of me.

I unlock the front door to Mia sitting down watching About Time, I absolutely love this movie.

‘Thanks for watching it without me Mia’ she looks up at me ‘sorry its almost over, anyway I though you and harry would be out for longer… you guys could spend hours together not even talking, just looking at each other’

I let out a small chuckle and sit down next to Mia ‘liar, it isn’t near the end it’s only half way through’

‘Well it would have been near the end if I didn’t have to go shopping’ I forgot about that. ‘Thanks for doing that Mia’

She smiles at me ‘no problem. Oh by the way, the gang are coming over later’

I frown at her ‘the gang?’

She looks at me like I’m stupid, which I am, ‘you know, Chels, Tim and Rick. The people you’ve been friends with since the start of uni, or have you forgotten about them already?’

I roll my eyes at Mia ‘of course I haven’t forgotten, but why are they coming over?’

‘Lylah you never see them, you’ve spent more time with Harry in last week than you have with them in the past year, they miss you and they deserve to spend some time with you, so suck it up and don’t be a bitch, okay?’

Mia’s right I’ve been the worst friend to them recently, the only time I see them is in the hallways or at lunch.

‘When are they coming over?’

‘uhh, four’

***

It’s half an hour before everyone comes over for dinner, so I decide to go through my planner to makes sure I’m on top of everything. 

I make it to today’s page, seeing nothing I flick over to next one, Fuck.

‘Shit!’ I yell

‘What?’ Mia asks, obviously startled

‘You know the book for English I had to read? Well…I’ve got an essay on it due tomorrow and I haven’t started’

‘Are you serious Lylah?’

I bite my lip and don’t say anything. I feel so horrible about this; I’m usually good at staying on top of my assignments, although I usually don’t go out with Harry.

 Mia lets out a puff of air and sighs ‘you better get started if you want to pass’

I nod and head off to my room, let’s get this over and done with.

***

‘Lylah?’

‘It’s open’

Tim comes walking through the door and comes to stand by my desk ‘hey’ he smiles.

I offer a small smile back but it doesn’t look sincere, I’m too stressed out. 

‘Mia told me your doing the English paper on that stupid book’ I let out a chuckle ‘yeah, have you done it?’

‘yeah, unfortunately’

‘I keep forgetting you’re a year above us’

He sits down on the end of my bed and smiles ‘I do as well sometimes. Now do you want help with this or not?’

 Tim tell me his points he had and we brainstorm them together, as I take down notes and expand on them.

By the time I finish it’s 7 o’clock, if Tim haven’t of helped me it would’ve been a whole lot later.

We both come out of my room and everyone cheers ‘you finished!’ cheered Rick, I chuckle and head to the kitchen.

‘Where’s dinner?’

‘There’s pizza in the fridge’ Mia exclaims

I open up the fridge and take a pizza box out, two pieces of meat lovers, three of supreme and three of ham and pineapple.

Tim stands next to me and picks out one of each, while I just have the meat lovers and the supreme, I hate pineapple.

I put the slice leftover in the fridge again and sit down on the couch, ‘So Lylah, why you so behind on your essay, you’re usually the first one to finish it’

I’m about to reply but Mia cuts me off ‘she met a guy’

Mia looks over at me and smirks and I have to resist from ripping Mia’s face off.

I feel my cheeks go red as everyone stares at me with wide eyes, ‘oh my god Lylah! Who is he?’ asks Chelsea.

‘Uhhh, no one, were just friends’ everyone rolls their eyes as I continue to eat my slices of pizza.

‘Come on! It’s fine if you’re not together just tell us about him’ why won’t Chelsea just leave it alone? I clearly don’t want to talk about it; if I did I would’ve brought it up.

Everyone continues to stare at me and I let out a sigh, I may as well tell them. 

 ‘Well, his name is Harry he goes to Richmond with us except has classes different days, he lives with his two best friends, he’s studying sociology but as a job he does gigs.’

Tim frowns at me ‘wait, he’s a musician or does like karaoke stuff’

‘He’s a musician, he and his friend Niall write the songs, Harry sings and Niall plays the guitar’

Everyone has astonished looks on their faces, Chelsea slightly nods and takes it all in ‘how come you haven’t told us about him before?’

I shrug ‘I don’t know, I didn’t think it was important.

‘I think we should meet him’ Tim says and everyone nods, this isn’t what I wanted.
