College Blues

Letting me hear it

Alexis P.O.V
I hate Mondays. School was a drag, I didn't realise until now how boring school was without Zayn. He wasn't at school today for some unknown reason. Like yeah I have Sky and Niall but their only real fun to hang with when their not with each other.

Today was full of pointless conversations, and third wheeling.

I wonder why Zayn wasn't at school, maybe I said something creepy without noticing at the park or maybe what Niall said annoyed him so much that he cant face us at school. What If he doesn't want to be friends or anything anymore?

Wait, what? I am not this type of person, this is not like me, I sound desperate and needy. Ew. What that boy does to me. He's probably just sick or doesn't fell like school today, oh well I shall text him when I get home.

I waited for Bryce at his car with James, I saw Bryce coming out the gates with some blonde, oh, its Karla. Ew. She sees me and links arms with Bryce and starts giggling loud like Bryce is like the funniest person she has ever met, and trust me he's not for that to be possible she must only know super boring people.

They come over to us and once we lock eyes she stops laughing and gives me the biggest dirty ever! Ok what did I ever do to her. I decided the best way to go about this was to be the better and smarter person so I simply, smiled like I had no idea who she was. Eventually she got over her moment and looked back to Bryce and plastered a stupid smile on her face.

"See you later, babe" She said, well, kind of whispered.

"Bye" he said as she pecked him on the cheek and with that she strutted off, swaying her hips side to side like she was a dog wagging its tail.

"She's charming" I snorted.

"Shut up" Bryce said back and got in the car.

"What's happened to you Bryce? You used to laugh with me at people like her make fun of all the snobby, stuck up popular kids. Now, your no better than one of them." I said harshly.

" I don't know" He groaned, yes I got to him. "I guess I just like being popular and not all of them are that bad, I met this guy called Harry who's kind of in the same boat as me, we both just like being popular."

"Wow you are so sad" I said short.

"Whatever, at least my frie"

"What? at least your friends are what? classy?, popular? get good grades?!" I said cutting him off, "No your friends are fake, they are not your friends, so don't compare your, so called friends to mine, my friends might not be perfect, or super smart and pretty, but at least they are real and don't strut around pretending to be something their not, kinda like you do." I snarled.

Bryce didn't answer, the rest of the trip was silent. When I got home I went to my room and dropped my bag on the ground, as of now I have decided I need to give my room a make over, it is currently boring and not me at all.

Today was terrible, I need to wash the gross feeling of today that was lingering on me away. I headed to the bathroom and ran the bath and dropped a bath bomb in it. I then went to my room and grabbed my phone.
Once the bath was full and bubbly to the max, I jumped in and picked my phone up. Great if I dropped it, not.

I opened up my messenger and texted Zayn.

~Hey! Are you okay?

A few minutes later my phone vibrated.

~Hi, im alright just have a few things going on at the moment.

~ Dang, ok, are you coming to school tomorrow?

~Um, probably not sorry.

I let out a loud and long groan that continued and got louder when I heard Dad call from downstairs
"I'm hooome, with food!" He hollered.

Great now I will have to leave my pool of serenity, since the boys will eat everything nice if I don't stop them.

I decided that I plan on eating tonight so I texted back Zayn,
~Nah don't be, I shall survive.
and hopped out of the bath, I quickly dried my self then wrapped a towel around me and raced to my room and pulled my pyjamas from my closet and put them on at the speed of light, I then raced down the stairs almost tripping over as I was putting my hair in a bun.

I jumped onto my seat a the table, only to find all the honey chicken, my favourite, gone.
Sh*t. Well at least there was a spring roll and a bit of fried rice and about three piece's of chicken. After dinner I went straight to my room since there was no washing up to do and jumped on my computer to start looking for some ideas for my room and stores where I can get things from.

Around 12:30 I decided that it was time to hit the sack.

I groaned and turned my alarm off, I got out of bed quicker than I expected to and almost fainted from dizziness, jeez it's cold today. Yay you know what that means? Sweater weather! I get to wear this super comfy new sweater I bought before moving here!

Wow that t'was quite girly. oh well. I got changed and crimped my hair and made it a bit poofy, in a good way. I then went downstairs to see James sitting at the kitchen bench eating toast and on his phone, I crept up behind him

"Mornin!" I hollered

"Crap!" he jumped "Hi." he said short.

I leant over the bench from the other side to look at his phone

"Who's Leyummm?" I said dragging out the m and opening the fridge "Where is the milk?!!" I exclaimed.

"A friend and I have no idea Bryce probably had one of his midnight fridge raids, they usually occur on Monday and Thursday nights and sometimes Wednesday nights" He said smirking to himself.

"Ugh" I said in disgust, I seriously live with monkeys.

"Are you serious!? The bread?" I said well past annoyed.

"Yeah, sorry I ate the last pieces" He said not looking up from his phone.

"Wonderful!" I said running up stairs not bothering to be quiet, grabbing my bag and phone and then running back downstairs and out the front door slamming it behind me.

I then pulled out my phone and called a cab. It arrived in about 5mins which is good.

"Where to?" The man said

"The nearest Starbucks please" I said politely

"Sure" he replied.

While on the way I texted Skyla.

~Hey, You had breakfast because I'm on my way to Starbucks if you want to come? x"

Just as we pulled up outside my phone vibrated in my hand I opened it and sighed quietly to myself

~Sorry, babe I have already eating and Niall's picking me up and taking me to school x

~Its ok x

I turned my phone off and looked up at the cab man

"$10 please" He said holding out his hand

"ok" I said passing him the money and then hopping out "Thank you!" I said.

As soon as I entered I was hit with the smell of heaven and to top it off there was no line! Score! I walked up to the register and smiled at the girl at the counter.

"Hello, what can I get you today?" She said smiling back at me.

"Hi, can I please have two butter croissants and a caffé Latte" I said

Once I had paid I took my seat and looked around the shop, I love Starbucks everything about it is great! The door swung open and a familiar face walked in.

It was the guy who stopped the douche from dragging me to his car, Lewis? No, Louis! He was a nice guy. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. my food then came and I thanked the lady.

I was half way through my first croissant when Louis came over to my table and plunked himself down on the seat across from me.

"Hi there!" he said with a grin

"Hey!" I replied

"How are ya?"

"mmm I'm alright"

"Alright? Why just alright?" He asked as his food arrived which was a egg and bacon sandwich with a coffee.

"My brothers ate all the food in the house and I'm not exactly excited for school, so yeah."

He smirked "ahh yes, siblings, the whole reason I'm here is to get away from my sisters, what's wrong with school?"

I smiled slightly then replied "I'm kinda third wheeling the majority of the time, which isn't exactly fun"

"Ohh, hang with me then" he suggested

"hmm that's a hard one spend a whole day with, ugh, YOU, or third wheel, I think I will suffer you today." I said giggling.

"I am hurt, I think?" he said putting a fake confused face on.

We both finished our food and drinks and then headed outside where Louis walked to what I'm guessing is his car, he got in and started the engine and I, well, I kind of just stood there, you know as you do. He winded the window down and bobbed down his head to see me.

"Well come on get in, you nut!" He said laughing.

"oh" I said getting in, we then drove off and Louis turned the radio on and Waiting All Night by rudimental came on.

Louis started singing to it in a girly voice and waving his finger around in a dancing type way. I laughed at him but ended up singing along stupidly too.

Once that finished Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's came on (Mwahaha you should of seen this coming!) and he became serious, he sang along and he actually had a good voice, like a really good voice.

It was kind of weird but in a great way and he was letting me hear it.

We parked the car just as the song ended and got out and started walking to the main entrance.

"Your a really good singer Louis!" I said smiling at him.

"Thankyou!" He said happily.
