Locker 305 n.h. (closed)

Chapter 13

Mrs. Baldwin collects the paper I spent 2 hours of working on last night from my hands.

"I hope you got me an A," Brent scoffs.
Pig.

"You? I think you mean me. The grade I get will only be fair to me," I whisper.

"Yah, yah,"

I really thought he was nicer than this. Maybe he is having a mood swing, or has been hiding his true colors...

I spend have of the period in my thoughts and hardly write down any notes, just hoping to get to Lunch. I rush out the door and beat Niall to the locker.

"Here's your lunch," I sigh handing it him.

"Thanks, why in a such a hurry?" Niall asks.

"I don't know, just kinda stressed. I have a feeling my parents have something to talk to me about, grades, everything in between,"

"Just relax," he smiles while guiding me down the hall with his hand on my back.

Liam has a sad look on his face when I see him. His usually contagious smile is now in a tight frown with dark eyes.

"You okay?" Zayn asks.

"Yah, uh, I'm fine," he replies with a sniffle.

I recognize that face when I see it. It's the 'I need to talk about my feelings face, especially about a girl' face. I approach him with a smile and explain to him that I know what's going on and he just shrugs his shoulders.

"Liam, I know that face when I see it. When I spent a week with my hormonal teenage cousin, he had this face after a-"

"Breakup, I know,"

"I'm sorry, are you alright?"

"Yes, and no I'm not fine. How do you know so much about breakups?" he shyly smiles.

"Well, I'm a girl, so we tend to be experts of love," I say flicking my eyebrows.

"I'm pretty sure about that," he says sarcastically.

Liam explains to me his nasty breakup, it was kinda dramatic, but then again it is a breakup. The girl didn't go to this school here, but they met up somewhere and instantly got together. I guess falling for a person to fast isn't the way to go.

"I'm sorry Liam," I say patting his hand. He smiles.

Lunch is over shortly and I tell Liam that a good cure is ice cream and Disney movies, but he would prefer Ice cream and Marvel.

~End of the Day~

"Hey Kay," Niall smirks.

"You're scaring me," I playfully push him off the sidewalk.

"So I heard about Liam,"

"Yah, I feel bad for him," I sigh.

"I once had a breakup," Niall clears his throat.

"You, you had a girlfriend?" I laugh jokingly.

"Yup, she was everything I hoped for in a girl, sense of humor, brown hair, kind, a great listener," he lists and then winks.

"What was her name?"

"Oh, it was Samantha," he smiles at the thought.

"I have a sense your flirting," I tell him.

"How'd you know," he laughs and heads into his house.
