Predator
Rachel's P.O.V.
I wasn't buying it at all.
"Well firstly you start asking 'how do I know if I like someone?' " I told her, still smirking.
She seemed really nervous for some reason.
"So is it Luke?" I asked softly.
She jumped up off of the couch suddenly.
"You know what, it doesn't matter" she mumbled, running a hand through her hair.
I frowned.
"What do you mean-" I began but she ignored me.
"I'm gonna go get ready for bed..." she marched off straight to the bathroom.
I was left standing there, extremely shocked.
"Skylar!" I called her but there was no reply.
Okay, well that was weird.
When she came out of the bathroom, she went straight to bed, so I wasn't given a chance to question her further.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was the first to wake up the next morning.
I had a quick shower and got changed into a pair of denim shorts and a pink t-shirt that said 'Live' on it in black writing.
I checked my phone quickly as I piled my dirty clothes at the bottom of my bed - I'd sort them out later.
Shit! I was going to be late for my first class.
I sprinted out the door, feeling my headache coming on. I had a cup of tea every morning to satisfy my need for caffeine.
Running the whole way to my class, I was well out of breath when I finally got there.
I relaxed a little once I was sitting in my seat.
At least I had no classes on Thursday. For some reason I had a completely free day Thursday. Which was strange but good.
My classes went by surprisingly quick, thankfully enough. After I had caught up with Tricia for some dinner (after which she conveniently disappeared) I headed off to Harry's room. Our room was empty and I was pretty bored.
I knocked on the door impatiently. I wasn't very fond of the long walk over here.
When eventually the door did open, it revealed Louis.
"Hey Rach" he gave me a cheery grin.
"Hi.. is Harry here?" I wasn't sure why, but I was feeling a little awkward around him.
He shook his head slowly.
"Emm no, he's gone out.. I don't think he'll be back for a while, sorry" he told me.
"Oh right, okay" I replied softly, looking down.
"Do you wanna come in though anyways? I was just about to watch a movie" he stood back
a little to give me access to the room.
I didn't really need to think about it.
I walked in past him and into the room.
I plopped down on the first bed I saw, hoping it was Harry's.
"So what movie we watching?" I asked, as he sat down next to me.
"Well I was just gonna watch Predator. But you know if you'd like to watch something else we could-"
"Predator sounds fine. I've never seen it before so it should be interesting" I replied casually.
And so that's what we watched. It was scary enough but nothing I couldn't handle.
Harry still wasn't back by the time it was over, even though it was starting to get dark.
Although I was pretty sure he wouldn't approve of the idea of me and Louis in a room alone together, in the dark, I decided to stay for another movie.
This time we watched The Lion King.
I was pretty sure this was my DVD. Harry must of put it in his bag by accident.
I absolutely adored the movie. However halfway through it, I felt my eyes start to droop. I leaned up against Louis for comfort.
He wrapped an arm around me carelessly and I felt myself relax more into him.
Before I knew what was happening my eyes were completely closed.
"Rach?" Louis voice was becoming faint.
I couldn't muster up enough strength to respond. College really was taking it out of me.
The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was "Oh shit"
I wasn't buying it at all.

For some reason i am liking Ashton, i haven't finished the book yet but Louis seems tl be getting really angry and jealous. I am kind of rooting for Ashton. So far with what i have read, Ashton is a lot nicer to Rachel than Louis plus Louis is always hanging with his exes. I don't know but my opinion could change once i finish the book.
