"Bloody hell, Harry!" Louis exclaimed as he tried to put some ice on Harry's bruised jaw, "she hit you pretty hard." "You were being a bastard," said Zayn as he glared at Harry. "She started it and ouch Louis," said Harry. "Doesn't define your actions," Zayn replied and the others were a little suspicious because Zayn Malik was the labelled bad boy.

"Harry-boo! Oh my God! Your jaw has turned purple!" screamed Merissa while running towards him. Merissa was Harry's girlfriend from high school and she was, let's say, not as smart as she thought she was. She was undoubtedly beautiful with silky blonde hair and pale green eyes but was a classic bimbo.

"He's gonna be fine, Merissa. Harry's not delicate," said Liam who liked her the least among all of them. "She's just worried!" protested Louis because he has a crush on her since 8th grade. "No problem baby, you'll be fine soon. I can lend you some concealer to hide the bruise," Merissa said.

"Does she think before saying? Oh wait, she doesn't have the ability to think," whispered Liam to Louis. "It was a generous offer, she barely shares her makeup," Louis defended her. "It's pointless talking to us," replied Liam, rolling his eyes.

Merissa left their music room to join her friends. "Mate, when will you break up with this bimbo?" asked Niall. "I don't know but I can say anytime soon," replied Harry.

The next day, Zayn was leaning on a wall and staring at someone. "If you really are gonna stare at her like a stalker, you should might as well talk to her," said Liam from the back. "What do you mean?" said Zayn. "You're clearly checking Harry's new nemesis out," Liam said. "I'm not!" Zayn said. "If you say so," said Liam, "but you weren't then still give it shot 'cause bro she's hot."

"You're right. Golden tanned skin, dark brown hair and round pitch black eyes are very intriguing. And lovely lips, like they look so soft and she's got so much passion is her eyes and cute buttoned nose, no?" Zayn gave a detailed assessment which made Liam smirk. "Wait, why are you smirking?" he paused and replied. "Dude, you're in deep," is all Liam said and turned back and walked away. "Maybe I am," Zayn said to himself but Liam heard it.

"Louis, you've gotta know something!" Liam exclaimed as he found his friend on the stairs. "What?" Louis replied with enthusiasm. "Zayn likes Harry's new enemy!" Liam said with utmost excitement. "That's... wicked!" was Louis' response.

"Hey," someone called me from the back. I turned around to see that it was Niall Horan. "Hi," I said plainly. "I'm actually here to apologize on behalf of my stupid friend. I know you'll think that he's sent me but not really, I really felt bad but don't think I came out of pity. I was really impressed how you handled everything, so don't get me wrong..." he continued rambling and I decided to stop him. "It's okay. I don't forgive your friend," I said. "I don't expect you to," he said.

"But I really appreciate you coming to me and apologizing on his behalf even though you didn't need to. And I still hate your friend," I replied.

"Not shocked. But I was wondering if we could, you know, meet up?" he asked politely. "We could just talk here," was my reply. "I meant, maybe, outside college. Somewhere people don't go for educational purposes. Can we?" he said in his strong Irish accent. "I guess we can, you can tell me where later," I said and gave him my number. He smiled and walked away.

"Did Niall Horan just ask you out?" Lana asked me. "No, he didn't. He just wanted to hangout," I corrected her. "Babe, it's Niall, he acts sweet and impresses anybody he wants. But he generally is sweet and he did ask you out very subtly," said Georgia. Honestly, as good-looking Niall was, I didn't want to be anything more than friends with him. So I decided I'll make it clear next time. That's when he texted me "Baxendall's Cafe, tomorrow at 6? It's Niall btw" and I replied, "Ya sure. See you tomorrow."
