Sing till I fall asleep || H.S

The party was buzzing when Louis and I arrived, and so were we. The wine had done its thing and I felt quite confident in the dress.

People were splattered all over the downstairs area, all dressed nicely in dresses and skirts, some guys even wore wests or jackets over their shirts. It was lovely to see people dressed up, actually.

"I see Zayn and Liam," Louis pointed towards the kitchen table where people were playing beerpong, the two boys among them on the same team.

Thank God Zayn didn't fall for the snapchat.

"Good evening, lads!" Louis exclaimed as we approached them and they looked happy to see us.

"I'm so excited you two are here," Zayn took arm around each of us, putting himself in the middle, he was drunk. Stumbling and smelling of the alcohol, I'd never actually seen him drunk.

"Mags' been talking about you all night," Louis grinned at me as he spoke to Zayn, obviously trying to irritate me.

"Couldn't stop thinking about you all week, actually," I followed his mocking and Zayn laughed.

"I'd be a happy man if that was true."

Would he?

Louis looked as chocked as I did at his words, giving me a glance.

I found Wienna, Erin and Lisa in a couch along with Harry and Niall and decided that it was my cue to leave the conversation.

Erin was wearing a matching pants and jacket set, looking dressed up in a professional but still cute way, it suited her well. Wienna wore a skintight dark red dress ending at her knees with a slit on the side, I loved that dress, she had great hips to pull it off as well.

Harry looked different, his hair was combed back in a manbun, showing off toned jaw and cheekbones, he wore a white see through shirt with a few buttons unbottoned, giving everybody a glimpse of tattoos I hadn't really noticed before, the cross on his hand and the ones on his arms I had seen. Like the bible and mermaid on his left forearm and the two years scribbled above his collarbones, but I'd never fully seen the two swallows on his chest or what looked like a butterfly over his bellybutton.

I liked them, many people in school had sleeves of tattoos, mostly the same things on their arms but Harry's were splattered out across his arms in a way not everybody had.

The only people without tattoos were Niall and I, a flower decorated Wiennas shoulder and I knew Erin had a quote on her underarm. Louis had many as well.

"That dress looks amazing!" Wienna almost yelled and stood up beside me to admire my outfit, she'd helped me pick it out this week but I never tried it on with her. "I'm chocked I knew it would look good but holy shit!"

Erin agreed, "You should show youself off more often!"

I smiled at them, "Thank you, I feel out of place."

"Can't remember the last time you wore a dress, looks nice," Niall said and gave me a high five.

I hated being complimented, never really knowing what to answer or how to act, but I knew from own experience that people who refuse to take one are annoying as hell.

"You did wear a dress to class before the summer, I think." Harry spoke up, looking at me questioning. "Not something like this one though," How would he even remember that? Before summer we had never even spoken to each other.

"I think that must have been the last time, yeah," I responded with a smile and then sat down next to him on the free seat in the couch.

He had a red cup in his hands, I wondered if he was drinking today.
