Always.
Wednesday.
Wednesday.
“Here are your tests.” Senora Herrera began handing us the tests we took yesterday, and bless her heart for finishing them for us so they were done the day after and didn’t have to take a week. Lord knows, I wouldn’t be blessing her soul then. “Carter. Muy bien!” she tells him. “Annalise.” She says and then begins calling the rest of the names. “Horan.” He says after a couple, standing in front of his desk she hands him the paper. “No decepcionas.”
What the fuck does that even mean? Have we even learned that yet?
“Gracias, Senora Herrera.”
It kind of sounds like deception. You don’t deceive me? Does that even make sense?
“Hola, Kelly.” I’m startled when she comes up to me. I instantly snap out of my daze, trying to leave a mental note to sneak a look into the back of my book for decepcionar.
“Uhm, hola Senora Herrera.” I smile at her and she returns it.
“Quiero decir buena trabaja.” She says handing me the test.
I nod as a thank you and she begins walking away leaving me to look over my test.
“What the hell?” I mutter under my breath as I glance at the 100 on the top. 100! Is this some kind of sick joke? I look up at Senora and she smiles at me again before I look back down at the test. I’ve never gotten this high of a grade on a test, even when I cheat.
“Alright, let’s begin with today’s lesson.”
I pay attention in class, because I figure that it probably helps a lot when it comes to being prepared for the test.
As soon as the bell rings, I hop out of my seat and go and wait by the lockers outside. And when Niall walks through the doors, I surprise him with a hug. He’s startled at first, but then returns the hug before he pulls away.
“You okay?” he asks as we walk down the hall together on our way to lunch.
“”Better than okay. You are officially my Spanish study buddy. I got an A Niall. An A. 100 percent! That’s never happened before!” Spanish was my worst subject.
“That’s fantastic!” he says and hugs me again.
“Thank you, thank you.”
“Of course, it was no problem.” He says, and now we’ve reached the lunch line. As we stand in line I remember something.
“Hey, what’s decepcionar?” I ask.
“It means to disappoint.”
“Oh.” I nod.
As we move through the lunch line, I sit with Niall and some of the other people I usually sit with. But before lunch ended I asked him a question.
“Hey, Niall.”
“Yea?” he asked, taking one last swig of his milk.
“A couple of us, like my friends are going laser tagging tonight. I texted talked to Liam earlier and he said I could bring someone. So, I mean, if you’d like.. Do you uh, want to come with me?”
He smiled at me and nodded. “Of course. Yea, Laser Tag is fun.”
I nod at him. “Yea, yea it is! This is exciting!”
“Do you, er. Would you like me to pick you up?”
“Oh, yea sure. If you want. I mean you don’t have to but…”
“Ok. I will. Just tell me when, yea? Are we going to the one in Branson?”
“Uh, yea I think so.” I say as the lunch bell rings.

From Liam:
Meeting at 6. Gives you an hour. Don’t be late ‘cause we will not hesitate to start without you.
From Liam:
Actually we will, ‘cause Louis will throw a fit. BUT! Still don’t be late.
I rolled my eyes as I read the messages but still had a smile on my face as I replied.
To Liam:
Whatever you say Bad Ass Liam. PS. I might be late now just to piss you off.
PSS. I actually won’t because I’ll feel bad, but know if I wasn’t so nice I would be late.
After sending the message, I backed out of Liam and I’s conversations and opened Niall’s.
To Niall:
Hi. Long time no talk.
He replied almost instantly, probably because he was expecting me to text him about what time to pick me up.
From Niall:
We talked less than two hours ago before you went home?
To Niall:
You’re always so technical. Anywho, we’re supposed to be at the laser tag place at 6.
From Niall:
Well, it’s about 5 now. So should I be on my way to your place?
To Niall:
Yep, if it’s not too much trouble. I can still just drive there if you want.
From:
Nonsense. I’ll be there soon!
…
“Are you excited? I’m excited. I haven’t played since freshman year. I’m gonna kick everyone’s ass!” I giggle, looking at Niall as we walk into the building.
“Uhm, yea. I think seeing you this is excited will be the highlight of my night.” He says, smiling down at me.
We walked into the building and Niall opened up the door for me. I muttered a thank you before walking through the doors.
The first person I spot when I look up from the ground is Harry sitting in a chair, looking down at his cell phone in hand. My jaw drops a little as I look from him to Liam who is next to him.
“Kelly!” Louis says, jumping up from his seat and coming over to hug me. “We thought you would be the one to get here last. But of course it’s Zayn and Perrie.”
I laughed. “You should have had a little more faith in me. But if it weren’t for Niall, I probably would’ve been late.”
I just know that tonight is going to be awkward.
“Right, hey Niall.” Louis greeted and then Liam came over and gave me a hug.
“I should have told you.” He whispered in my ear.
“A little warning would have been nice, but it’ll be okay.” I assure him with a pat on the back. When he pulls away from the hug I smile at him. I mean sure it’s gonna be weird as hell, but how could I stay mad at Liam?
As Liam moved over to say Hi to Niall, Harry and I made eye contact for a quick second before I turned my attention elsewhere.
~~~
“HAHAHA SUCKERS!” Zayn yelled as he shot 3 of us who were in the same area as him. I’m sometime good at reading people and I would have never pegged Zayn to be the loudest during this game.
“This is what I have to deal with.” Perrie mutters, walking through the dark maze carelessly, seeing that she can’t get shot right now.
I giggle as I walk toward the entrance because nobody is back here. I set up a plan of attack. Which involved sneaking up and shooting without being seen, and if that involved physically moving the plastic that made the maze.
I started moving, but not enough to wear I was close to the others as I heard someone come back to life. I peaked for behind a sheet to see Harry. My heart beat so quickly, it felt like it was going to fly out of my chest.
I carefully snuck my gun out and aimed it at him, shooting and hearing his vest go off before hiding so he wouldn’t see me.
“Bloody hell!” Oh my God, his fucking accent. “Who’s even back here?” his voice was so deep and silky and I’ve just missed it so much.
“Kelly?”
Oh shit, Kelly. Should have been paying more attention of what he was doing instead of his perfect voice.
Harry looked at me as his vest lit up again, not breaking eye contact. I slowly pointed my gun up and hit him. “Sorry.” I whispered before going back to destroy the others.
