"chill the fuck out won't ya?" he says rudely. typical.

"but why?" i encountered, "i got a ninety-seven on an assignment i had no clue how to do! a ninety-seven!"

"yeah, thanks to me," louis butts in, "admit it. you're thankful i saved your ass."

"fine," i say, giving in, i really did have him to thank anyway. if it weren't for him, i'd be disappointed right now instead of thrilled.

"so where are we going?" i asked him curiously. he stayed silent ignoring my question so i asked again only to have the same reaction. i rolled my eyes, stopping from walking any further.

"if you think i'm going anywhere with you when you won't even answer me then-"

"just follow me," he groans, "stop with the questions, you'll see soon enough."

i nodded and just silently walked behind him. how had we gotten here you may ask?

well after our little "truce" back when he helped me with my assignment, he had told me to get ready after all of my lectures two days from then (which is now) and that he would show me a good time. he wanted to show me he could be trusted and seeing as michael had decided to visit his parents out a few hours from campus, i decided why not go with him.

either way, this could show me if louis could actually be trusted again or if he was just playing with me once again.

after walking for a few, we came to a stop. i gasp as i spy kids running around and hear shouts, laughter and a few shouts from adults.

he turns to face me and my mouth hangs open as we stand in front of a park, sort of similar to the one we used to play in back when we were 'friends.'

"want to go for a swing?" he smirks.

"b-but the kids, they're playing," i say, "won't we look weird and kind of... um... out of place."

"so?" louis scoffs, "are ya coming or not?"

he then takes off running for a chance in the swing set. was this worth it? deciding on ignoring my gut, i follow behind him, running as fast as i can. not being able to catch up to him, i meet him there.

i noticed how he exchanged a few words with a little girl and the little girl immediately offered the swing to him. i wonder what he said to her but don't question him about it as i watch him struggle to sit on the swings.

i muffled a laugh, not wanting him to get pissed and leave as i really had no idea the type of person this new louis was.

he swings for a while and i awkwardly stand there waiting for my turn as i didn't want to hog another swing from the children who were playing. but he doesn't budge. it's like his bum was glued onto the swing as he wouldn't even offer me a chance.

"louis," i whined, "give me a chance, won't ya?"

he doesn't say anything, just continues to swing making me roll my eyes. did i really come out here to watch him swing? i should have stayed back at the dorms and facetimed mum or even gemma!

this... this was just boring.

"i think i'm gonna go..." i mumble quietly only to be pulled back by my wrist.

"did i say you could go?" louis hisses. he then realized what he's said and quickly says, "shit, sorry. here, you go."

and then, finally, stands up to give me a chance on the swings.

fucking finally.

"want me to push you?" i then heard him say. push me? what am i? four years old?
