Wrong Number

Chapter 6

@jealouslouis_ I'm so glad you like it, I would want your good opinion considering you're one of the main characters.

Zahra flopped onto her bed, uncharacteristically giggling as she texted Niall.
She called Louis, and hummed as she waited for him to answer.
"Hellooooo?"
"Helloooo to you too, so, you ready for hell tomorrow?"
"Yep, now that I get a ride instead of having to take," he paused to allow him and Zahra to shudder, "the bus."
"Well, I'm glad you're prepared for school for once, it only took you 13 years!" She cried.
"Hey, no one counts Kindergarten!"

****

"What are you doing?" Harry asked as he walked up to Niall's driveway.
"Cleaning my car, obviously."
"You've had this car for 2 years, and this is the first time I've seen you clean it."
"Well I don't want Zahra-and Louis," he added quickly, seeing Harry's smirk, "to be picked up in a dirty car. I want to make a good impression on her-them."
"Okay, whatever you say." Harry grinned.
"Stop smirking Styles, you think I don't know you were ironing your clothes before you came over?"
"How did you-"
"Your mom came over for coffee, that women cannot keep a secret."
"God dammit."
"She's already started planning the wedding."
"It's true!" Anne called, poking her head out of Niall's front door.
"Mom! You said you wouldn't tell them!"
"Oh come on, it's cute you and Niall have crushes, oh Maura, did I tell you I caught Harry practicing what he was going to say to Louis in the mirror?"
"MOM!"
"Sorry! Sorry! I'm gone." She ducked her head back inside as Niall cackled.
Harry grumbled, snatching the hose and spraying Niall.

*****
The next day, Zahra jumped down the steps, brushing her (A/N I'm just going to say black, I have no idea, if it's not let me know and I'll change it)
black hair yet again.
The front door swung open, and she shrieked.
"How long does it take you to brush your hair, it's only up to your shoulders!" Louis cried.
"Shut up, you look cute." She smiled.
"Thanks, you did pick out my outfit." Louis laughed, tugging self-consciously at the loose fiber in his skinny jeans.
"Done." She dropped her brush, smooth out her blue dress that went to her knees.
"Beautiful, if I was straight, I would be all over you."
"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." Zahra fake sobbed.
Louis ran his had through his hair, and Zahra frowned.
"You just messed up your hair." She groaned, licking her hand and running it through Louis's hair.
"Ew!" He shrieked, jumping away from Zahra and onto the couch.
"Louis get back here!" She cried, jumping on top of him.
They tussled for a moment, until the door bell rang, making both of them freeze.
Zahra jumped up, smoothing her dress, while Louis snatched their book bags and handed Zahra hers.
She opened the door, and almost fainted.
Whoa he's even more attractive in broad daylight.
"H-hi Niall."
"Hi Zahra." He grinned, his pale complexion suddenly becoming rosy as he took in the girl in front of him.
"Okay love birds move over." Harry laughed, adjusting his SnapBack.
"Harry!" Louis smiled, pulling his shoes on.
"Louis!" He cried.
Louis smiled, and Harry felt his heart melt.
"Ready?" Harry said, eyes not leaving Louis.
"Yes, WE'RE ready." Zahra said, waving her hand in front of Harrys face.
"Hey, Niall's your boyfriend, he's the one obligated to hang out with you."
"He's not my-"
"Save it and kiss." Louis cut her off.
"I need some girl friends." Zahra sighed.
"Now how is that any fun?" Niall piped up, offering her his arm as they followed Louis and Harry to the car.
"I guess it's not, but if they're as cute as you, maybe it's okay."
"By cute you mean manly?" Niall said, flexing his arm.
"Yeah okay."
"I'm manly!"
"Think what you want." Zahra said, exasperated.
"I'm not trusting your judgment, you don't know you're beautiful." (Haha)
"You say it like its a textbook fact." Zahra laughed, blushing as Niall took her bag and opened the car door.
"It is."
"Stop flirting, and staring at me, it's not healthy to have a crush on someone so awkward." Zahra said.
"You have a crush on me?" Niall grinned, starting the car.
"NIHRA." Louis mouthed to Harry.

****

Louis walked past Zahra, who stood in the doorway, and went up to Harry.
(This is when Zahra is talking to Niall at her house)
"Hello." Harry smiled, pulling out a wilted flower.
"Um.."
"Sorry, I must have sat on it." Harry mumbled.
"It's okay, it smells like car oil and cheap cologne." Louis laughed, taking the flower.
"The perfect combination." Harry grinned.
"Besides, it's the thought that counts, but next time, I would have preferred a bouquet of French fries."
"Fine, but that comes with a price."
"Which is?"
"Sit with me at lunch and let me and Niall drive you home?" Harry smiled, rocking on his heels.
"You run a hard bargain, but I think I can do that."
"I'm going to be honest," Harry said finally, "I've been rehearsing that pick up line in the mirror."
"Aw, just for that, I'll give you a tip, a date at the coffee shop down the street from here?"
"Absolutely."
"Why did you need to practice in front of the mirror, it's not like you're meeting the president." Louis joked.
"Well yeah but, I just get, nervous around you."
"A good nervous?" Louis said hopefully.
"The best kind."
"Well, want to know a secret?"
"Yeah?"
"I get nervous around you too."
