Chapter 11
"Okay, what the fuck is happening here?" we both jumped with this unexpected question from Melissa. Louis and I were sitting at the park next to the school before the class starts, we were cuddling and holding each other hands.
"Umm...you see we a..." I started but Louis interrupted me.
"This..." he pointed out our holding hands. "is happening." he said and leaned on me as he gave me a little peck on the lips. I blushed as response and tried to talk.
"You see...erm...we're...together." I murmured.
"Why didn't you tell me you whore?!" Melissa screamed.
"It just happened Melissa, calm down!" I said and Louis chuckled.
"But I'm so excited right now...oh you guys don't know how long I've been waiting for this!" She cried.
"Oh how long, may I ask? Two days?" I asked sarcastically.
"Oh shut up, that's not the point right now! And well done Lou, that was the time." she giggled. "oh, I'm vibrating, hold on." she announced and reached for her phone, looked at the screen and her face lit up.
"What's going on giggle-face? Why are you smiling stupidly?"
"Oh it's nothing." she said but continued smiling.
"No, you can't hide anything from me! Tell me now!" I ordered.
"Okay, okay...it's a text."
"And?"
"It's from him." she blushed.
"Him? Is it Harry?" Louis asked.
"Yup!" she said popping the 'p' and started jumping. I laughed to her reaction and kicked her. "Awh, don't. It hurts!" she shouted and stopped jumping.
"Sozz but that's better like that."
"Ahh, you'll pay for that, don't worry." she rubbed her leg where I kicked her. "I gotta go now, Harry will order me a coffee from the cafeteria. See ya!" she said and left.
"Wow, she seems happy" Louis said.
"I know, she's a huge crush on Harry."
"That's obvious." he smirked. "And her crush is mutual."
"So Harry has a crush on her too?"
"Yeah, he told that he's been into her since last year."
"Thats good, she needs someone, especially nowadays. Her parents had a divorce and she's shocked about it."
"Oh I didn't know that..." he murmured as he checked his phone. "We got five minutes babe, shall we go?"
"Sure." I replied and we walked to school.

It was just before the last lesson stars, and we were sitting in the classroom together. He was telling me about his old life, about his friends and his old home.
"Your old life seems lovely."
"It was...now it's better." he smiled. The bell rang and everybody entered the classroom. The class started but my mind was traveling at other universals, well let's say, Louis. I was thinking about how soft his lips, how perfect his smile is, how kind he is and everything about him. Under the desk, he was holding my hand and with his other hand he was stroking my arm lightly. Then suddenly, the door opened and Zayn entered. His eyes found mine but I refused to look at him and turned my head.
"Mr. Malik, you're late."
"Yeah, I know."
"and you're also rude...do you have an excuse for being late or do you want a detention?"
"No, ma'am, I'm late because I had things to do...sorry, it won't happen again."
"Sit down." she ordered angrily and continued her lesson. Zayn walked to the only empty desk and it was behind our desk! While he was passing by , he threw a glance to our holding hands and sighed. After sitting, he whispered to Louis.
"Hey mate, are you guys...together...or?"
"Yeah, we're." Louis answered.
"Oh, great... Since when?" he said, I could sense the disappointed tone in his voice.
"This morning." I answered, turning my gaze to him.
"Oh...how nice." he replied and I grinned. Okay okay, I'm not going to lie, I like seeing him sad. I didn't forget what he tried to do to me.

"Crystal, do you have a minute?" Zayn called me after the school. Louis had to leave early because his mother wasn't at home and he had to look after his sisters.
"No I don't."
"Please. Just a minute." he begged. "you're dating?"
"That's not your business."
"I know but..." he began but I interrupted him.
"There is no 'but'. That's it. I love Louis and you can't change this. Now, I'm leaving. And please don't talk to me anymore, I don't like it. Actually, I don't like you." I said bitterly. Am I too harsh? Yes, I am. But he deserved it. His face dropped again as I turned my back to him and started walking, leaving him behind.
