The Outsiders (Harry Styles)

Chapter 43

When I wake up, I almost forgot where I am. And then I remember, little old paranoid baby Harry forced me to come. I notice Niall already up, brushing his teeth as he walks out of the bathroom.
"Morning Cher," he says, still brushing.

"Hey," I sit up, rubbing my eyes. Harry is still fast asleep and his hair is messed up all over his face.

"You have classes?" He asks, and I hear him spit out his toothpaste in the sink from the bathroom. The boys are lucky. They have a bathroom in the dorms while the girls have a bathroom per floor.

"Yeah. English literature and Bio," I climb out of Harry's small bed and follow Niall into the bathroom. I have to pee so badly.

"Move I need to pee," I tell Niall and he refuses. He's literally just shaving.

"Go," I sleepily force him to leave.

"Fine," he groans, leaving.

After I wash my hands, I hear Harry wake up.

"I'm taking bio and English this semester," I hear him tell Niall.

"You're not just doing that because you wanna keep an eye on Cherry, right?" I hear Niall ask.

"No, no. Of course not," he says. Even though I hear a bit of lying in his voice, I might just believe him. But won't that just be a little too much for us to be in two classes together? I don't think it would work out...

I open the bathroom door. "Harry, you're such a wus."

"Shut up," he rolls his eyes as he walks over to me, kissing my cheek.

"Wanna grab a coffee?" Niall slides his pants on. Funny how he feels that comfortable to do that In front of me.

"Yeah. Harry, get dressed," I tell him and I head for the door, still in my pajamas.

"Wait. I'll come with you," Harry says.

"Your clothes are here, idiot."

"Right. Niall, go with her." Harry almost demands and he nods.

"Calm down, prince of England," Niall follows me out the door, and I won't stop laughing at his funny remarks.

Niall closes the door. "Are you sure you want him taking classes with you?"

"I guess we could give it a go," I explain and he nods. I love Niall. He really is such an amazing friend.

"So Halloween is coming up pretty soon and there's a party down at a frat house. You should come. It's going to be epic," we walk outside and head over to the campus coffeehouse.

"Maybe. I don't know. I've heard about Halloween parties and they're not so innocent," I laugh and he agrees.

"But they're fun. Amanda's going too," he says. FUCK. Amanda. I forgot that it's her birthday tomorrow and I haven't gotten her anything yet.

"Shit! It's Amanda's birthday tomorrow and I didn't have time to get her anything," I look at Niall who's internally screaming for also forgetting.

"Well damn," he scratches his head. "Well go shopping today."

I nod, sighing. Never forget Amanda's birthday. She will not be happy with you. "We should throw her a surprise party or something."

"Ooo. Good idea. Down at your house, no?" He asks.

"Where else?" I laugh. Just as we walk into the coffee shop, I notice someone walk in. Someone very familiar and I instantly get frightened. JESSE. From that party I went to. The guy Harry saved me from?
