harry styles | my health teacher

19. s h o t s

i can already feel the alcohol. i decide that if i'm gonna be able to get through this night, i'm going to have to be drunk.

"let's order shots." i tell maddie

"peyton, you should slow down, i want to actually be able to remember this night." she says pointing to the empty stage. they are about to go on.

"well i don't want to remember this night." i say walking away.

when i get back to the bar i order shots for myself then take them back to the table.

"holy shit peyton, you really want to get drunk tonight." she says staring at my tray of beverages

the crowd starts to cheer. "omg peyton LOOK!!" she screams pointing at the stage.

i see the boys on by one come into view. zayn, louis, liam, niall, and the one and only harry.

as soon as i see him i take a shot.

zayn gets on the mic first introducing everyone as the crowd cheers, than they start playing.

i take another.

maddie is cheering from our table and i desperately hope she's not loud enough to get one of the boys attention.

the last thing i need is harry knowing i came to a show. the good thing is, i'm not supposed to know this is happening. it was a secret show.

after i finish my drinks i go back and order more.

"hiiiiiii again!" i say to the bar tender.

"what can i get you?" he asks getting right down to business

"a margarita pleaseeeee" i say rolling my r's. the bartender laughs then proceeds to get my drink.

once i get my drink i head back to the table once again. when i get there, i notice 2 unfamiliar people standing across maddie.

"peyton! this is colin and keith. they go to UCLA too!" she says

"hiiiiii!!" i say taking a seat.

we start talking to them for a bit till maddie decides she wants to go down to the floor and dance.

"peyton c'mon!!" she says grabbing my arm.

"noooooooo! i don't wanna!" i say pouting.

"i can go with you." keith says

"ok great! colin do you mind staying here?" she asks

"yeah no problem." he says taking maddies seat.

colin and i talk for a little, about school and where we are from and other little things. turns out he is in one of my classes.

"so do you wanna go to dance?" he asks

"nooooooooo. i don't even want to be here." i say

"why? do you not like the band." he asks

"strongly dislike actually."

an hour later of talking, the boys head off stage and maddie and keith come back to the table.

"that was awesome! i cant believe it's over though." maddie says

"if you guys want to stick around, we can all head to the dance floor." keith asks

"sounds great!" maddie answers for the both of us.

we head to the dance floor and i soon get lost in the music

—

"i'm gonna go grab a drink." i tell colin screaming over the music. we've been dancing for a while and i'm pretty thirsty.

i order my drink and take a seat checking my phone.

1:33 am

holy shit. i've been here for hours. i thought it was 11:30 at the latest. i'm honestly having a lot of fun here and i never thought i would. colin is so nice and it's crazy that i'm starting to actually like someone. ever since harry i haven't been able to have feelings about other people without doubting myself.

"here you go." the bartender says handing my drink. right as i turn to head back to the floor, my eyes meet with those beautiful green eyes. i stop in my tracks when i realize i'm face to face with him.

with harry.
