Highschool Love

Chapter 7

The boys had fun the entire weekend and even finished the music for their lyrics. The weekend passed to quickly for them, and all to soon they were headed back to school. On the first day back, Louis fell asleep in class twice, and was grounded from the weekend hang out so it was a good thing they had already finished the music that weekend. Their teacher was really impressed with their lyrics. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces, because she said they had the best lyrics of the entire class. When the second day rolled around, the boys were really bored. Music Appreciation had been moved to the last class of the day. That was the only class that the boys liked. Finally, the class time rolled around.
"Okay class, I've graded you papers and are handing them back today. Tommorow, is a field trip day so we won't have class. I would like you to continue working on this project. If you wrote the lyrics, then write the music, or vice versa."
She handed the papers to the boys, after she has photocopies each of them their own copy. Their eyes went wide. She had given them an A+ on the assignment.
"Woah, that's my first A." Shane said in awe.
"I thought you always got A's." Louis said in his I'm better than you voice.
"No, I usually get B's and C's." Shane replied in a clam voice.
"Now, see Liam here always gets A's. He's so smart." Zayn said throwing his arm around Liam and pulling him close to his face speaking in a proud teasing voice. Liam blushed his face turning away. Shane and Niall smiled at Zayn and Liam until their eyes caught each other's and they looked away blushing. Harry sat there with his eyebrows raised waiting for Louis to say something. Louis remained quiet not sure how to respond to all this new information. How did four of his group all of a sudden fall for each other. He knew they all identified as bisexual, but he didn't expect this. He finally came back to life, and went back to his sassy nature.
"Well, while you children sit and admire this grade, I have more important things to attend too."
"And what would those be Lou?" Harry asked with a smirk.
Louis pretended to flip his hair and walk away while the others chuckled at him and gathered their stuff rushing after him.
*Later that day*
The boys were waiting for the bus.
" I can't wait till we start being able to drive ourselves. No more waiting for a stupid bus to carry this king around." Louis said petulantly. He had been in a bad mood ever since English. He had been in a great mood but English took everything and smashed it.
"Zayn and I are going to head over to the library to study." Liam said grabbing his books and stuffing them in his backpack.
"Niall has to go home, and we're walking to my dad's office where Niall's mom works, so we're leaving." Shane said doing the boys handshake with them. He and Niall left followed by Zayn and Liam.
"Are you ok Lou?" Harry asked moving so he was standing next to Louis.
"I'm fine."
"Louis, tell me the truth. You haven't been ok since lunch." Harry stressed to Louis.
"It's just, that, ugh. Uh, when did my group of friends fall for each other." Louis finally spoke. "We're gonna have all kinds of relationship drama, and it's going to tear our group apart. What if, what if, what.."
"What if what Louis?"
"What if Zayn chooses Liam over me?"
"Aww Lou." Harry pulled Louis into a hug. " You didn't need to go home did you?" Harry asked in a caring voice.
"No." Louis sniffed. "I'm a terrible friend aren't I? I should be happy for them, and her I am worried over myself."
Harry knew it wasn't Niall and Shane that bothered him. He would be just fine teasing them his whole life. He was really concerned about Zayn leaving him. "C'mon Louis." Harry said grabbing his arm and starting to guide him through the people waiting for their bus, and towards the exit.
"Wh-where are we going? Louis said trying to stop sniffling.
"We are going to get some ice cream, and we are gonna do our homework together to take this off your mind, and you can talk to Zayn tommorow." Harry replied, grabbing the bookbag that was falling of of Louis shoulder, and putting it on his own. They walked side by side in comfortable silence until they reached the ice cream shop. Niall and Shane were hanging out at his dad's office and doing their homework.
*At the library*
"So Zayn, do you want to go out to eat sometime?" Liam asked in shy voice.
"Like a date?" Zayn asked tentatively not wanting to scare Liam away.
"No, uh yes, uh kinda."
"Sure Li, we can go out sometime."
"Ok phew. I'm gonna take you out then sometime." Liam said as if a load of weight was lifted off his shoulders.
*Later that night*
Louis ringtone went off. He looked out it and saw that is was Zayn.
" Ok, Louis. You and Harry talked about this. You can do this. I need to talk to Zayn. Hello." He said picking up the phone.
"Boobear, you are not gonna believe what just happened. Liam just asked me out. He asked me when we were doing our math homework. I'm so excited." Zayn gushed.
Louis heart fell. Zayn was going to forget about him.
"That's great Z." He said trying to sound happy. Zayn continued to describe everything to Louis in detail sounding like a teenage girl with a huge crush. Louis tried to sound happy with his acknowledging sounds that proved he was on the phone. Zayn continued until his mom started calling him.
"I've got to go Boobear. I'll talk to you later."
"Talk to you later Zayn." He threw his phone on the bed, and curled up in a ball on his bed. After laying their for a while trying not to cry, he decided to call Harry.
"Hey Louis, what's up?"
"Zayn's going out on a date with Liam. I've lost him Harry. He doesn't talk about anything but Liam now." Louis was literally crying now.
"Oh Louis. I'm sorry. Do I need to come over? Harry tried to soothe him from the phone.
"Please." Louis continued crying.
Harry hung up and grabbed his book bag stuffing some clothes and bathroom supplies in case this was an all night event. He hurried downstairs to where his mother was cleaning up the kitchen.
" Mom, I need a ride to one of my friends house. He's afraid he's losing his best friend to a boyfriend, and is crying buckets. I've already got some clothes packed.
