secondary crush

Chapter 14

Louis's POV//

Today was weird, I haven't been at school without Harry in months! He never usually gets sick, and he's never been suspended, so it was a little bit odd sitting on my own in Spanish, since he's the only guy I'm friends with in that class. Luckily, I like to think that I'm quite popular, so I get along with everyone.

What's even weirder is that me and Eleanor seem closer than we've ever been, it's not been awkward at all like I thought it would be, and actually now that I've realised those feelings I had towards her weren't exactly real, I've been able to relax a lot more around her.

We all sat at our usual table at lunch, although Maya sat with us too, Eleanor practically dragged her over, then didn't even speak to her! I don't think Maya really minded anyway, she's definitely Crushing on Liam.

I'm walking alone to my English class since I separated with the others after lunch to go to the toilets, and realised that this is yet another class I'm supposed to share with Harry, luckily, Liam is in this class too.

I enter the classroom and head to our usual table at the back of the room, and I'm slightly surprised to see Maya sitting in the spare seat with Liam, seemingly in a deep conversation about something. I try to walk to my place silently, so that I don't interrupt them, but trip over the chair next to a shelf of books, knocking them all down.

"Shit" I whisper shout and when everyone looks up at me I just grin at them sheepishly,
"Meant to do that" I say, talking Liam's hand, he'd gotten up to come and help me.
"Sure you did mate" he says chuckling.

Luckily, the teacher still hadn't arrived so I wouldn't be marked as late.
I'm sitting next to Liam, but he's talking to Maya again so I turn to the seat next to me, before remembering that Harry isn't hear. I decide to get my phone out and text him, he's probably lonely at home all by his self, I'll have to pop round later, and I'll probably have to use his window.

Louis:
-hey Haz, I'm coming over later.
Harry:
-great, see you then.

I grin, I know he wouldn't care, he doesn't leave the house often anyway so being grounded doesn't really bother him.

Then my heart drops and I realised what we were speaking about earlier, I like Harry! Oh no Louis, don't make this awkward, he's your best friend. You wouldn't want to ruin that by confessing your love to him or something stupid like that- wait love? I'm really gonna have to talk to Eleanor.
