One Direction and Me

Chapter 4

Once we arrived at school Harry pulled on his sunnies as we exited the car. He was keeping his distance as we walked into school and as soon as we got in he muttered a quick "bye" and walked off to see his friends that were standing by their lockers. I don't know if it's me just over thinking things or if he was actually acting strange.

I'm lost in thought as I approach my locker and see Niall standing there. He instantly puts a smile on me gave as I get closer. "Hey Niall how are you? It feels like we have talked in ages" I say dramatically. He chuckles "yeah I know. I'm pretty good, how about you? I heard about your sleepover last night" he winked and nudged me. I just laughed and rolled my eyes as we both began our walk to history making small talk and laughing along the way.

*lunch time*

I was looking forward to lunch and seeing Harry as I made my way to the cafeteria to get my food. As I entered I saw Harry standing with James, one of his friends so I walked up to him "hey Harry" i smiled happily. "Ummm...hi" he awkwardly responded while looking everywhere but at me. "I thought maybe we could sit together?" "And why would I want to do that?" I was getting really confused. "Why are you acting like this?" "Because we aren't friends and I don't like you" he responded casually while laughing. As soon as those words left his mouth I felt as though someone had punched me in the stomach and kicked my legs out from under me. I could feel the tears started to prickle at my eyes so without a word I turned and walked out of there. As soon as I was out of the cafeteria I ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was running to but I knew I just had to get away.

"Avery, wait up!" I turned around and hoped it would be Harry coming to say he was sorry and beg for my forgiveness but no. It was Liam which was a bit strange. "For someone with such short legs you can sure run fast" he tried cracking a joke to lighten the mood but realised I wasn't in the mood to laugh. He grabbed my waist and led me to sit under one of the schools willow trees by the oval.

"I heard what happened back there. You didn't deserve that, he was being an asshole" Liam said seriously while keeping eye contact the whole time. "I don't understand what I did wrong. He was so sweet and caring yesterday and now he's embarrassed to be seen with me?" I'm so confused right now. "You didn't do anything wrong. You're perfect, it's him who's doing the wrong thing. He's just a jerk and doesn't realise that he's just playing with your emotions. You deserve someone much better than him." He said while gently reaching out and wiping the tears that fell on my cheeks. What he was saying made me feel a bit better.

"I didn't expect you to be the one who came after me" "well I didn't expect you to save me from getting the shit beaten out of me" he chuckled while I smiled. All of a sudden it went back to serious and I found myself getting lost in his chocolate eyes. I saw him start to lean in closer and felt myself doing the same. Our eyes shut and he closed the few inches that separated us.

Our lips started moving in sync. Slowly and gently he kissed me but after a few moments it became slightly more aggressive and passionate and I loved every moment of it. We stopped and looked into each others eyes panting. "Well that was unexpected" Liam said while tucking some of my hair behind my ear. "Yeah" was all I whispered back. We were just staring into each others eyes until the bell went signalling time to return to class and ending our moment together. Liam stood up and offered me his hand and helped me to my feet. Once I was up he didn't let go of my hand as we headed back to our lockers. He even walked me to my locker where he bent his head down and placed a quick kiss to my lips then whispered "bye" in my ear then turned to walk away. "Bye" I whispered in response as he walked away.

"Am I seeing right? Did I just see Liam Payne kiss you?" Eleanor half shout as she approached with Louis. "Yeah you did." I responded as casually as possible. "Girls night tonight. You have a lot of explaining to do missy" "ok". I couldn't stop smiling right now. The rest of the day past in a happy daze.

The girls had organised to come over for a movie night and as I was setting up I got a call "hello" "hey beautiful change of plans, I'm taking you out tomorrow instead of tonight so we get to spend the whole day together babe, I'll pick you up at 9" and with that Zayn ended the call. Not that I really want to go but at least he changed it to tomorrow because I completely forgot about it.

*bang bang bang* sounded from my front door. Meaning that the girls have arrived. I walked over and opened the door to be pushed out of the way by the three of them. Eleanor turned to me "spill everything girlie." Well this is going to be a long night.....
