Wrong Number

Chapter 2// Call back!

"Someone called with the wrong number?" Zahra said.
"Yeah, and he was like, hey we're are you asshole I'm in Abercrombie, and I go, hello? And I don't know who Niall is, but yeah."
"Wow..."
"Exactly, pretty strange."
They walked past Abercrombie, and Zahra smirked.
"Shut up."
"I didn't say anything!"
"I know what you're thinking, and its embarrassing!"
"Why? You shouldn't be embarrassed, he called the wrong number, not you."
"Yeah I guess."
A shoulder bumped into his, and Louis yelped.
"Sorry." A blonde haired boy said.
"It's okay."
"Nice Niall, nice."
Louis froze, and turned to see..him.
He had curly, dark hair, and warm green eyes, that seemed to..sparkle, as cheesy as it sounds.
He gave Louis a small smile, and "Niall" simply stood there.
"You guys....know each other."
Harry jumped.
"What? No."
"Then why were you having eye sex?"
"Actually, I'm the wrong number." Louis laughed.
"Wait you're a guy?" Harry cried.
"Harry!" Niall cried.
"Uh, yeah.."
"I mean, I can see you're a guy, and I'm sure you have all the..guy parts..and it's just that..on the phone..my microphone and stuff..."
"Yes,I have a higher octave voice."
Louis said, his sassy side coming out as he put his hands on his hips, "Is that a problem?"
"No!" The two boys said quickly, suddenly afraid of the boy.
"Yeah."
Louis whirled around to meet Zahra at the elevator, fuming.
Asshole.
Cute, but an asshole.

"You're an idiot."
"I know..."
"You're a guy? No shit he's a guy!"
"I don't know! He was making me all..flustered.."
"How? He was just standing there."
"I know, but did you see his eyes?"
"Um..they're blue right?"
"No, they're like, blue blue, I mean they were staring into my soul!"
"Harry chill, you sound like a girl obsessing over a boyband."
"Shut up, I can't believe that just happened, he probably hates me."
"I know you're already hurt, but I heard him calling you an asshole."
"It doesn't matter, he probably doesn't even like guys." Harry mumbled.
"Are you kidding me, no one with that sass..or that ass..is straight."
"You saw his ass too?"
"I might be questioning my sexuality!" Niall cried.
"So he's definitely gay?"
"I don't know about gay, maybe bi."
"Good enough for me."
"Wait, how will you find him?"
"Oh..."
"Yeah...well maybe he goes to-"
"I HAVE HIS NUMBER."
Harry screamed, pulling his phone out of his pocket.
"What?"
"When you gave me your new number, it was actually his!"
"Ohhhh."
"And I called him and he answered! So if I call him again-"
"Wait! I think you need to give him sometime."
"Fuck that Doctor Phil, I'm calling, and I'm going to fix everything."
"Okay, but I'd text him, he's probably going to ignore your calls."
"Oh, right."
It was silent as Harry texted him, and Niall grinned.
"Harry has a boyfriend." He sang.
"After this we just need to find you a girl."
"Yeah, okay, because it's just that easy." Niall laughed.

"What an asshole!" Zahra shrieked, ignoring the stairs from the people in the elevator.
"I know, and he-"
His phone buzzed, and he jumped, pulling out his phone.
Hi it's the asshole from the mall, listen I'm really sorry for what I said, I want thinking, and you're obviously not a girl, I'm an idiot, so if you want I text me, or call me, and get some stuff off your chest, I would completely understand. (But I'll have to delete it later because my mom might see it)
- Harry xx
"Awwww! Call him!" Zahra said
"What? You said he was an asshole!"
"Well yeah, but he feels bad! Just text him!"
"No."
"Please?" Zahra pouted, "For me?"
"Ugh, fine."
"Yes, never fails." She cheered, handing Louis his phone, kissing his cheek.
"Sometimes I really don't like you." Louis mumbled as he texted his reply.
"Seriously?"
"No." He said, hugging Zahra to his side.

Harry sent the text, collapsing on the bench.
"What now?" He turned to Niall.
"We wait."
"For what?"
"I don't know!"
Harrys phone rang, and Niall screamed, wrenching the phone out of his hand.
"It's him!"
Harry quickly answered, him and Niall pressing their ears to the phone.
"H-hello?" Louis's voice said.
"Hi!" Niall yelled, and Harry elbowed him, making him shriek.
"Get out of here!"
Niall ignored him, continuing to listen in on the conversation.
"Who is that?" A girls voice said, making Harry and Niall frown.
"It better be his sister." Niall grumbled.
"I don't know, shh."
"Best friend." Niall and Harry agreed.
"Um, well my names Louis."
"Hi Louis, I'm Harry."
"I know, you texted me." Louis laughed.
"Oh..um right well I um.."
"Are you okay?" Louis said.
"Spit it out before he hangs up!" Niall hissed.
"Well..I'm really sorry, and I was wondering, to make it up to you..I mean..maybe you would um..if you want-"
Niall snatched the phone from harry, and put it to his ear.
"Hi Louis, this is Niall horan, Harry's best friend, Harrys a bit shy as you can tell, but he was wondering, believe it or not, if you were free tomorrow to go out to dinner." Harry gaped as Niall gave him a thumbs up, grinning.
"Uh huh, 6:00 , sure he'd love to meet you there. Okay, bye."
Niall hung up, tossing the phone to Harry.
"Oh come on, is that the face of a guy who just scored a date?"

"He asked you out?!" Zahra cried, smacking Louis's arm.
"Well, technically, his best friend did, but yeah, we're going out tomorrow."
"This is so exciting!"
"Calm down, it's not like we're getting married."
"My little louis is growing up so fast." Zahra fake sobbed.
"Shut up." Louis laughed.
"Hey, watch the attitude mister, or you're on your own."
"No! I'm sorry, please Zahra I need your help, I need you to help me practice."
"Practice dating?"
"Yeah."
"How would I know?"
"Don't girls usually know this stuff?"
"Not this girl."
"Damn it."
"Sorry."
~~
"Try this."
"Hell no, it's ugly."
"Not its not! It's blue!"
"And ugly shade of blue!"
"Okay, you know what Louis? Chill, I'm doing my best."
"Well your best isn't good enough."
"Do you want to out-sass me? Because I don't care how old we are, I will still be able to beat your ass."
"I do not doubt that."
Zahra smirked, pulling a pair of black jeans out of the closet.
"Now, maybe if we quiffed your hair.."

"I can't go out! The date is in 4 hours and I'm not ready." Harry complained to Niall, who was sitting on the bed, watching his best friend have a mental breakdown.
"Calm down, why don't you wear the outfit you picked out?"
"No, it's ugly! I need you to help me!"
"Okay, I'm stable enough with my masculinity to be okay with that, now let's make you pretty."

Harry stood at the door, tapping his feet, fiddling with the buttons on his white shirt, and smoothing his already crease-free black jeans.
"He's late, he's not coming, he changed his mind, maybe he's not gay and just pretended to like me, maybe he got in a car accident, or a motorcycle accident, or maybe he was an actor on a prank show, maybe-"
"Harry! He's 29 seconds late! Calm down!" Niall cried.
"Oh. But still-"
"Thank god he's here!" Niall cried as Louis walked up, smiling softly as Harry grinned.
"Ready?" Harry smiled, offering his arm to Louis.
"Yeah."
Niall gave Harry a thumbs up as he turned around, slamming into a person.
Smooth Niall.
Now, later on, the two often argued who bumped into who, but it didn't matter then, all Niall knew was that he had bumped into someone, and was holding them by their forearms.
He pulled back to see a girl, her eyes shining, and her hair covering her face a bit, and her nose scrunched in confusion.
"Um..h-hi." Niall said, suddenly understanding why Harry had gotten so tongue tied with Louis.
"Hi, I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking and um," The girl paused to let out an adorable giggle that Niall decided he wanted to hear, and cause again and again.
"No, it's my fault, I wasn't looking..."
"Zahra." The beautiful girl smiled, making Niall grin.
"Niall."
The girls eyebrows furrowed, and she gasped.
"Niall? Are you Harry's friend?"
"Yeah I- You're the girl who was on the phone with Louis!"
"Yeah, I'm his best friend."
"I was just leaving, Harry's been so nervous it's not even funny, actually, it's hilarious."
"You want nervous? Louis probably soiled 6 pairs of underwear, and I mean that in an innocent way." She added, seeing Niall's devious smirk.
"Well, maybe we could like, go in there to check on them."
"Yeah, just in case someone passes out." Zahra joked.
"We could eat too, and ya know..talk and stuff."
"Niall, are you asking me out to dinner?" Zahra smiled.
"I'm trying, but it's not going so well."
"I'd love to."
"Oh thank god! I mean, cool, yeah let's go." Niall said, opening the door for Zahra.
