Chapter 7

As Harry, Liam and Elizabeth spoke about our fake relationship ending, I just kept my head in my book. I didn't want any part of the conversation, simply because I didn't it to end. It finally felt like Elizabeth felt the same way about me, and even though it wasn't real.. it felt good.
"Could we just focus on the proejct though, please?" Elizabeth asked after they were done talking about it. I've never been happier to do a project. At least it kept my mind away from the relationship thing.

"So if you 2 were pretending to be in a relationship," Rebecca asked Elizabeth and I when we walked into school together. "Then that means the 2 of you were actually single?"
"Yeah," I replied.
"Ellie, do you know how many guys have wanted to ask you out because you had a 'boyfriend'?" Rebecca said. I sat down next to Liam and turned to the girls behind us.
"Wait, if I had a 'boyfriend', why would guys wanna date me?" Elizabeth asked.
"Cuz if you're attached, guys can't get you. And you know how guys can be, they wanna get what they can't," Rebecca explained.
"She's got a point," Liam said.
"A lot of guys asked me to ask you if you could go out with them when you break up with Zayn," she said. "Relationships don't usually last in this school. Except the lucky ones like Louis and Hannah, of course," she added when Louis and Hannah walked into the class hand in hand.
"They're really lucky," Rebecca said. "Not because they're probably gonna end up marrying each other.. but because they stayed together no matter what."
"I want something like that some day," Elizabeth said softly and we all looked at her. "I said that out loud, didn't I?"

"Zayn, tell them what you told me!" Liam said during lunch. "Quick, before she comes." Elizabeth had to stay behind to see our French teacher before lunch, so she was joining us late.
"Whatever, I'll say it," Liam gave up. "He has a crush on Ellie."
"Oh my God!" Hannah said happily.
"What? Does she like him as well?" Louis asked Hannah.
"Actually I don't know. We don't usually talk about boys.." Hannah replied. "But I'll find a way to get it out of her."
"Guys, c'mon just because I like her, doesn't neccessarily mean I want her as my girlfriend," I said.
"But you want her to be your girlfriend, don't you?" Harry said. I kept quiet. "I knew it!" He said. "Wait till Niall hears about this," he added taking his phone out to text Niall.
"Sh, sh, guys she's coming," Louis said.
"Hey guys," Elizabeth said sitting next to me. Oh God, why? "Whaaaat's happening?"
"Nothing," Hannah said. "So how was it with Ms Millers?"
"It was good. I passed the test which is such a relief since I rarely ever listened in my French classes back home," Elizabeth said and laughed a bit.
"No? Not funny? Okay," she said. "Okay, seriously. What's going on."
"Nothing! Nothing!" Louis said.
"Alright, alright. Relax," Elizabeth said taking her phone out.
"Who're you texting?" Hannah asked.
"Niall," Elizabeth replied said. Niall?
"About what?" Harry asked.
"He offered to show me around London this weekend cuz he was gonna visit his cousin, but I told him no and.. oh yeah, wouldn't it be cool if we all visited Niall in Ireland next week for holiday?" Elizabeth suggested. Oh boy, don't tell me she likes Niall.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea," Liam said. They did spend an awful lot of time together at Hannah's party. Heck, they were together the whole time, laughing and talking and everything.
"Yeah, we've never really been to Ireland to see Niall and-" Louis said and I just walked away. I couldn't stand that thought that my crush may have a crush on one of my best friends. Spending a whole week with Niall in Ireland is a great idea though...
