First Love // H.S.

24

'Hi!' I speak excitedly when I see Maddie and David standing in the doorway.

'Happy birthday, darling!' Maddie says while giving me a hug.
'Happy birthday, Liv.' David says, giving me a short hug too.

'Thanks! Um, I wanted to get food inside the house but something came up and I forgot.' I tell.
'Or someone.' Maddie answers, looking through me. I turn around and see Harry standing there with an awkward smile on his face.

'Yes.' I say then.
'Hi, Maddie.' Harry says.
'Um, get in.' I tell, stepping out of the doorway. Maddie and David get inside my house, David closing the door behind him.

'Hey, Harry. I thought you were only coming back next week?' Maddie asks, giving Harry a short hug.
'Yeah, I was supposed to, but I wanted to be there on Liv's birthday.' Harry answers.

'David. Nice to meet you.' David speaks up.
'I'm Harry, and it's nice to meet you too.' Harry answers, shaking David's hand.

'When is Louis coming?' Maddie asks.
'Yeah, where is he in the first place?' I add, looking at Harry.

'He's talking to his new friend, Eleanor.' Harry tells.
'Eleanor? A girl?' I ask surprised.
'Yeah, her name is Eleanor, dumbarse. Of course it's a girl. Is it Louis' girlfriend?' Maddie answers.

'Not yet. I could tell that he liked her, though.' Harry tells.
'Louis is gonna get a girlfriend!' I exclaim excitedly.

'I'm gonna get a what?' A familiar voice suddenly speaks up from behind me, making me jump.

'Jesus Christ, Louis! Why would you do that!' I yell after turning around to see Louis.
'How did you even get inside the house?'

'The back door. Happy birthday, Olivia.' Louis answers, hugging me.
'Thanks. Now tell me, who's Eleanor?' I ask, breaking the hug.

'What did you tell 'em, Harry?' Louis asks, turning himself to Harry.

'Nothing, they wanted to know where you were.' Harry answers.
'What are you doing here in the first place?' Louis asks, frowning his eyebrows. Harry does the same.

'Being here on Olivia's birthday.' He tells.
'Why?' Louis asks.
'Because she's my girlfriend?' Harry answers, giving me a weird look. Louis looks at me, a weird look on his face as well.

'I still don't understand how you could want Harry to be your boyfriend.' He snaps.
'I don't understand how Eleanor wants to be your girlfriend.' I snap back.
'Eleanor isn't my girlfriend.' Louis protests.
'Yet.' Harry adds. Louis sighs with his eyes closed, then turns himself to Maddie and David.

'Hi, Maddie, and nice to meet you, mate. I'm Louis. ' He says, shaking David's hand.
'David. Nice to meet you too, mate.' David answers.

'Hi, Louis. Liv, Harry, we got a present for you.' Maddie speaks up.
'For me too? It's not my birthday.' Harry asks.
'I know, but you're gonna like it.' Maddie answers. She has a sneaky look on her face, what promises a lot.

'Maddie. No.' I protest.
'You don't even know what it is.' Maddie says.
'I think I do, actually, and I protest.' I tell.
'I think I know too, and I agree with Livvie.' Harry says.

'I wanna know if what I'm thinking is the present is correct. Come on guys, follow me.' Louis speaks up. He walks to the living room after that, Maddie and David following him. 

'Do you think she..?' Harry whispers quietly while we approach each other.

'I think she did. How can she do that? In front of Louis?' I whisper back.
'He's gonna kill me. And why right after we had that conversation in your room?' Harry adds.
'It's like she knew. You saw the look on her face, right? What the actual fuck is wrong with her?' I answer quietly.
'A lot. You need better friends, love.' Harry says.
