Oh, That Frat Boy! (H.S.)

Chapter 5: Pass the Ice Cream

A week had passed since the party in Queens. Sebastian has been quite the gentleman; we'd met up for lunch midweek at a local cafe by Augustus and had a nice chat.

He turned out to be not the moronic jock I had taken him for at the party. He was studying law, but got into his uni on a football scholarship. Thus, he gotta keep playing to maintain it. That impressed me. Albright University was a private school and cost a fortune to attend.

Maybe I could date him for a bit, I thought to myself. He seems pretty serious with school and serious is what I need right now and he will probably agree to come to the part--

Someone painfully jabbed my side, causing me to jump in my seat. The culprit turned out to be my leprechaun.

Niall was grinning as he sat in the seat beside me in the lecture hall. He was lucky it was dark and there was a movie on.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed quietly, as the lights flicked on and I watched people starting to pack up.

Niall's grin was even bigger. "I gave you a week, Sophie," he sang, getting up from the seat before I could smack him.

I rolled my eyes at him, walking out of the lecture hall. "The hell with your week, man."

Niall kept pace with me. "You said you'll think about it though," he said, pouting.

I looked at him, his baby blues watching me with a puppy dog stare.

"Ugh, I hate you," I groaned.

"So you're coming?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes, and I'm bringing a date."

Niall wiggled his eyebrows. "Who is it, Harry?"

I grimaced at him and stopped in front of a vending machine. I was craving chips.

"No, ew," I said, making a selection. "My date doesn't go here."

"Where does he go then?"

"Nosy, much, Horan?" I smirked as the machine dispensed Ruffles chips.

Shrugging, Niall put a hand on my shoulder and replied, "Just looking out for you. And by the way, the masquerade was moved to Winter Formal. So dress up as a sexy nurse if you want."

I glared at him, but he didn't notice it as he looked at his watch. "But I gotta go, Liam is waiting for me."

Remembering my new friend who I haven't seen in a while, I asked, "How is he? I haven't seen him in class."

"That's 'cause he dropped it. He switched to anthropology instead."

I smirked again. "Weak. Alright, shoo. But tell him I say hi and to text me."

Niall saluted me and marched off.

I sat down on the couch by an advising office and scrolled through my calendar.

Tutoring Harry Styles, was marked for today at 6 pm.

My stomach did a strange flip at the thought. I haven't seen Harry since the party, not since he told me to go ahead and move on.

I wondered whether Harry will show up today for tutoring, considering his confession. I had no idea that he had had such strong feelings back then, never bothered to acknowledge them.

Or you simply chose to be oblivious, my mind whispered.

But a mistake we'd committed was something we couldn't undo. We both knew it. Only Alex never knew.

Sighing, I headed towards work, hoping that maybe today can end without problems.
