Unexpected Text

Chapter 24

Louis' POV

        That conversation with Harry went a lot better than expected. It's strange that just a week ago I hated Harry with a passion, but now I'm starting to grow fond of him. I honestly think that Harry and I will be able to be friends. The only thing is I know for a fact that Liam will flip shit if he finds out about this, which is why I have to keep Harry and I's newly formed friendship a secret for now. I grab my phone and text Liam and Niall to ask them both to meet me for breakfast. They both reply and say they'll meet me there in ten minutes. I run to the other side of the campus in order to get there in time to meet them. I run like the freaking road runner.

        I glance at my watch once I'm outside of the cafeteria. I arrive with a minute to spare. Niall and Liam are standing outside the cafe with smiles on their faces. At least Liam appears to finally be happy. Let's just hope that Liam stays in his good mood because his emotions tend to shift pretty quickly sometimes. Niall pulls me in for a hug and Liam kisses me on the cheek, not wanting to get too intense with the PDA in front of Niall and everyone else around us. We enter the dining hall and I immediately run to the food line and get a giant stack of blueberry pancakes. Niall and Liam enter the line behind me. Liam gets some eggs and bacon and Niall gets some cereal and a bagel. We all run to a table and immediately begin to pig out. 

        10 minutes later....

        All three of us have already finished our food. We sit around the holding our stomachs and trying to savor the remaining taste of the delicious food in our mouths. I'm about to tease Liam about eating so much when my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out of my pocket and notice that it's a text from Harry. I check to see if Liam is looking at me. He's not. Liam's busy talking to Niall so I think it's safe to read and reply to Harry's text. I press open and his text appears on the screen:

Hey Louis, it's Harry. It was working things out today and I'm glad that we did because you're a good person and I think that we can be good friends. Hopefully, Liam won't try to kill me again anytime soon. Anyways, text me whenever you can because I'd like to talk to you. :) -Harry

     I respond back with: 

It was nice working things out with you too Harry. I'm with Liam and Niall at the moment, but I'll text you later after soccer practice. :) -Louis

        Liam looks at me and I quickly shove my phone in my pocket. "Lou are you okay? You've been awfully quiet." I place my hand on his knee to reassure him. "I'm fine Li. I'm just tired." He smiles and kisses me on the cheek again. I blush and Niall laughs at my embrassment. I throw a dirty napkin at Niall. He grimaces, but at least I got him to shut up. My mind is only on two things right now, soccer practice later today and Liam not finding out about Harry and I being friends.
