Locker 17

Chapter 67

*Harry's POV*

After seeing Louis and telling him that I love him, I head to my last class before lunch. I carry the note in my hand that Louis left in my locker once again.

Soon enough you'll get your surprise x -L

By surprise I'm guessing he means for my birthday, if that's what he means. It's only a couple weeks away but the thought of him already having a surprise for me ahead of time is nice.

"So Harry are you going to get some soon or what?" The voice is unfamiliar, distant too. I hear footsteps catching up to me behind me, coming closer and closer. I turn around to find one of Louis' friends, Marie I believe. "Are you?" She says with a smirk on her face and her brow raised. What the fuck does she mean if I'm going to 'get some'? Louis must've told her or some shit, I clearly told him not to.

"How the fuck do you know?" I hiss, stepping closer to her. She's the kind of bitch that won't stay quiet about this kind of shit. She's just a little bitch that can't mind her own god damn business.

"A person can't keep quiet about those things for too long. But I'm glad that you're finally taking a chance at romance. It was about time someone was finally able to get to you." She winks, why is she so fucking annoying.

"Yeah and you better keep your mouth shut about it. I don't need people finding that kind of shit out, specially when it's none of their fucking business or yours." I spit.

I don't have time for this, no time to deal with Louis' gossipy friends.

*Louis' POV*

"Louis!" I turn to see Niall running towards me.

"What?" I search for any signs that he might be hurt or something. He wasn't here yesterday after all.

"No, no it's okay I'm fine. I have some great news. For me not for you, I think?" He would be the one to make a big deal out of something that I have nothing to do with."What is it?" I laugh. We both begin to walk to class, thankfully we have the same period next.

"I need to introduce you to someone." He says and his face lights up when we spot a girl at the end of the hallway. She stands alone, almost lost.

"Don't say anything bad about me okay, be my wing man here." Niall whispers to me before we approach her. Her features become more visible the closer we get. She's not like the rest of the girls here just by looking at her. She's brunette and isn't dressed like most teenage girls would. Tomboy maybe?

"Hey Alex, this is my friend Louis. Louis, Alex. Alex, Louis." He motions his hand from me to her and back again. I reach my hand out to shake hers, her grip is tight, unlike a girl.

"Nice to meet you. Niall's always talking about his friends over here and how they're so welcoming. You proved him right." She says.

"Pleasure to meet you too. Say, do you two know each other?" It's pretty obvious by the way they both interact so cool.

"Yeah me and Niall have been talking over the break." She begins.

"Her mum is friends with my aunt and they both came to visit my mum. Since you know." He trails off not wanting to go in detail of the conditions of his ill mother.

The late bell rings.

"We're late!" Niall states.

"We have a legit excuse, we can say we were showing the new girl around. I mean Alex." I correct myself not wanting to offend her. She smiles at me and we walk her to class. I end up being the third wheeler until she's dropped off.

"You really like her huh?" I tease Niall, softly pushing him from his shoulder. He giggles and his cheeks become red. He walks next to me with his hands in the pocket of his jeans.

"Do you think she likes me too?" I can't tell if she does, I barely exchanged any words with her, but anything to make him happy.

"Bet you swept her off her feet."

"Nah." He simply responds still blushing looking down at the floor.

"Come on you're a keeper Niall. You're sweet, nice, good looking." He looks up and raises his eyebrow. Perks of being gay, you can't tell a guy he's gay 'cause he'll automatically think you're hitting on him.

"Niall, don't look at me like that. I said you were good looking as a compliment. Sheesh." He bursts out in laughter.

"Will you be my wing man or not?" He says after he's done with his little laughing session.

"I don't have a reason to say no." I shoot him a grin. I throw my arm over his shoulder and he does the same while walking back to class.

...

As soon as the bell rings to head to lunch, I don't hesitate to go to the tables where Harry said he'd meet me. I search for him around the cafeteria. With no luck spotting him, Lily calls me over to her table at the same time Niall does. I wave at him telling him I'll be there in a bit. I turn to Lily's table where she's seated with Marie and Alex?

"Hey Alex, um I think Niall was looking for you." I point at Niall. Alex stands up with no second thoughts and mouths "Thank you" to me, thanking me from getting her away from these girls she's nothing like.

"Hey wait!" Lily calls me back to her table making me sit down.

"Uh hey." The whole thing is awkward. Sitting at a table with your ex-girlfriend who wasn't really a girlfriend because you just used her to make the guy you liked jealous enough to make him express his feelings for you. I sit there not joining her conversation. I look around for Harry, not paying any attention to what Lily is saying. I sit there nodding my head and says an occasional "uh hu" every time she says something.

"Are you even listening to me Louis?" She snaps. She wasn't like this before, so bitchy.

"Of course, go on." I lie. I don't have time to listen to her go about some guy. But I might as well listen now that she's clearly annoyed.

"Oh my god. Ok so you know how I kissed him right?"

"Yeah!" I don't have a clue.

"As soon as the clock struck twelve I leaned in to kiss him and he actually went along with it. Then again he had a couple drinks before but the thing is, is that he's actually into me."

"Really!" I pretend to sound much more excited than I should. Why the hell do I care about this guy that she kissed.

"Yes! I've actually been leaving little notes in his locker and it looks like he enjoys them. Marie here even said she talked to him in the hall, right Marie?" She says looking over to Marie.

"Yeah and get this, he admitted to being a 'thing' with her. But he wants to keep it on the down low." Marie whispers trying to draw any attention from the tables around us.

"Your secret is safe with me." I don't even know what the secret really is. The guy she's dating must be some kind of jock or what should I know?

I look away from Lily one last time looking for Harry. He's sitting down on the furthest table to the wall on the opposite side of the cafeteria, with Liam?

I wave Lily and Marie goodbye and walk over to Harry.
