Chapter Three

Liam

"Harry what's wrong with you? You couldn't even say hey to the poor girl?" I say hitting his arm

"I just didn't feel like talking" he rolls his eyes

"Anyway how's your fbuddy Hillary?" Louis snickered

"A bitch , like always " he says eating ice cream. Just as the words came out we all heard an annoying laugh come from the entrance of the cafeteria. Hillary and her friends entered wearing little fabric as they always did.

"Hey babe" she said putting her arms around harrys shoulders

"I told you not to call me babe. We aren't dating" Harry pushed her hands off as we all snickered

Kaleigh

I sat at a table not far from Harry's as I saw a girl put her arms in a v shape around him. I looked at Sarah raising my eyebrows in confusion as she explained everything.

"Hillary Young is just some rich snob who wants Harry as a boyfriend but all they do is have sex. She's always hitting on him and she won't let anyone else have him" She rolled her eyes while looking in there direction which made me chuckle.

"Ah I gotcha" I spoke nodding my head.

"Is this seat taken?" A deep voice asked poking my shoulder. I turned around to see Malik standing with his tray of unappetizing foods.

"All yours"

He sat down as Sarah got up and left with the excuse of using the bathroom. I jokingly gave her the evil eye as she walked away which caused her to laugh and throw her head back furiously. Malik and I talked until lunch was almost over. The school day ended and once again I walked home because my brother had to pick up some food and drive some guys to the house. As I walked I felt cold wind hit my skin making me shiver over and over again. I walked past Harry's house overhearing him talking on the phone.

"No no not tonight, I have plans"

I tried to speed my pace as I heard the voice getting louder towards my direction.

"It's Kaleigh right?" My head snapped in his direction

I mumble "yea" standing awkwardly facing his towards him

"Do you need a ride?" He asks raising his eyebrows

"Um no it's fine"

"One thing you should know is that I don't take no as an answer" he smirks and opens the car door. I walk to his car blushing and sitting down as my eyes roam his luxurious car. The engine starts up kind of scaring me realizing i got into a car with a guy I barely knew.

"So how are you liking Calvin high?" He interrupts the silence

"It's good I guess, I like it more than my old school" which made me smile thinking of all the knew adventures I would have here

"What grade are you in?" He coughs

"I'm a junior, what about yourself?"

"I'm also a junior"

"Turn right and it's the first house on the left" It felt weird directing someone to my new house. We pulled up in the driveway as I saw faces pop out the window. Malik and Blake came out the front door along with some of the other guys giving a stern look in our direction.

"Whys Malik here?" Harry's raspy voice gives off anger

"He's friends with my brother, the whole team is always over" I say sighing

"Ah okay"

"Thanks for the ride" I smile closing the car door. I turn my head in his direction then looking to all the facial expressions in front of me

"Why'd Harry give you a ride home?!" Blake shouts

"Calm down.. I walked most of the way and then he asked if I needed a ride and he wouldn't take no as an answer"

"You should've called me! I've heard plenty of things about him and you are to stay away" Blake's harsh tone echoes through the neighborhood. I walk inside going up to my room as anger takes over my emotions. My eyes opened to my fan flying around and around as I remembered its the weekend. I jumped off my bed running across the hallway to my brothers bedroom. I peeked inside seeing a lump on his bed with messy hair. I snuck inside and then ran and jumped on the lump while laughing hysterically. I heard a moan and turned on his stomach seeing the cover reveal a tired Malik.

"Well isn't this a gift from heaven" he smirks

"Oh no. I t-thought you were my brother." My eyes widen as I realize I'm laying on my brothers best friend.

"Well since your here" he smiles wrapping his arms around my waist flipping me on my side hugging me to him.

"Malik what are you d-doing?" I start to stutter from nervousness

"Cuddling" I feel a head of hair in the crack of my neck

"I have to go bye" I stand up and run downstairs trying to comprehend all that just happened.

"Hey sis" I turn to see Blake and his friend Noah sitting eating pancakes.

"Hi-i" I mumble keeping my head down thinking of the actions that happened moments ago

"Are you okay?" Blake raises his eyebrows

"Yea just been a long morning"

"Well some guys and I are going out today, do you have any plans?"

"I'll probley sit at home" I slightly frown as I walk upstairs to get dressed. I took a quick shower and threw on some clothes along with some makeup and went back downstairs. Everyone has left except me so I just decided to take a walk down to a coffee shop I saw earlier this week. As I'm walking I look behind me seeing the familiar Mercedes I rode in not to long ago. It pulled up beside me as I saw Harry and Niall.

"So I saw you walking then I decided to be a nice person and asked if you wanted a ride?" Harry smirks

"I'm good" my thought goes back to Blake's reaction when he drove me home

"Come on Kaleigh" Niall gives me the puppy dog eyes

"I can't. My brother doesn't want me to" My arm forms goosebumps from the cold wind hitting me. I see Harry open his door and get out in front of me making me feel uncomfortable.

"He will never know, I promise" I look up to his skyscraper self and shortly decide that maybe I should

"Um I guess so" I give in to his offer and walk over to the passenger side, getting in the back seat.

"So how was your day love?" Niall looks back at me

"It's been okay I guess, what about yourself?"

"It's been boring, I wanted to do something fun today. Wait Harry isn't there a party at Hillarys house tonight??" Niall starts to smile

"Why'd you wanna go to her party?" Harry chuckles as his eyes get big

"Free alcohol and food of course" He laughs

"Kaleigh would you like to go?" Harry looks at me through the driving mirror

"I've never been to a party before so I don't
know..." A feeling of fear takes over me as I think of all the bad things that could happen

"Looks like your going to your first party tonight" Niall winks making my stomach turn

"Uhh I really don't kn-" I stopped talking as I felt the warmth of Harrys hand on my thigh

"It'll be fun" Harrys raspy voice echoes through my head

"Okay" I gulp
