Chapter four.
As I got let in for the next period of science I wished right then and there I could somehow melt into a puddle on the floor where no one would notice me, but as I took my seat Louis stood up not saying a word and walked out, “congrates Jayde another fantastic move”. I thought as I watched him swiftly make his way down the corridor not turning around once.
The period dragged on, with my mind elsewhere and by elsewhere I mean Louis.
The bell rang and I shoved my iPod full blast in my ears not making eye contact with any other student nudging their way past, usually I’d find someone to make conversation with but it was an annoying day, where I mess up everything and don’t feel the need to be social only towards Harry or Ciara.
As I planted myself in and empty seat at the back of my English class sighing while turning my music down, still leaving my head phones in to help me drift off, I saw Liam walk in laughing followed by the new girl… ‘Wait, what?’ I thought to myself as she sat next to him in the two seats in front of me
“Oh hey Jayde” Katy said turning around and smiling, I took my head phone out as my jaw dropped
“Hey” I said and as Liam went to fetch his book I quickly snuck in, “I see you made friends with the most attractive guy in school”
“Yeah he’s pretty cute and so sweet” she smiled as he returned placing my book on the desk next to me and getting back into conversation with Katy
I sat there most the lesson listening to my iPod and watching Liam and Katy flirt, I think everyone was though, not once in the 4 years I had been at high school had I seen him talk to a girl and this wasn’t what I call talking, they drew each other, sung to each other and exchanged numbers and as the bell went they casually strolled out of class shoulders touching and carrying on like it was only them two in the world.
I would have followed and confronted Katy while asking her to come sit with me at lunch but I felt my phone go off and this wasn’t too usual at school, even at home, I wasn’t a texter even if I had an IPhone.
Wow you really put your foot in it this time jay x
Erg Harry found out, now I would not only have myself to remind me but him as well
Don’t start x
I didn’t expect a reply and as I made my way over to the group I thought I might go see him after school
I’m coming round after school, hehehehe luv chu x
I don’t know why I check
Sweet xxx
And that was the end of that
“DID YOU SEE THE NEW GIRL AND LIAM?” Cassie screamed as I sat down on the grass placing my bag beside me
“I HAVE THEM IN MY ART” Ciara also shouted back to Cassie and half to me
The conversation grew wild as more of our group sat down, Liam being the main topic. I kept looking over to where the football posts were, waiting for Louis to run down and play, he often did with his shirt off, all the boys did but something about him made me find myself pulling away from a steer, I knew most the girls had this issue with some of the other boys as well but they all claimed to like the guy, I didn’t like Lou, “I can’t like Lou” I thought to myself in a whisper.
“What was that?” Ciara asked, she must have heard me mumble it
“Nothing, talking to myself” I smiled taking a bite of my cookie
“Nothing changes” she said pulling me in for a side hug, she knew something was up.
