Help Me // z.m

Chapter 32

Louis, Eleanor, Niall, Tyler and I all sat together outside of the school. We sat leaned up against a tree working on assignments while we were on break. Eleanor, Tyler and I were the only ones actually working while Louis copied Eleanor's work and Niall didn't even bother to open his bag for the exception of grabbing a sandwich he was currently eating.

None of us knew where Liam was at the moment.

"Will you just do your own work?" Eleanor exclaimed as she pushed Louis away when he leaned over to look at her paper.

"But I need help!"

"Coping isn't helping you."

"But it'll help my grade."

She only rolled her eyes and got back to work.

I was starting to loose focus when an idea came to me. I placed my pen down and cleared my throat.

"Hey guys, I have an idea."

"Does it involve burning down the school?" Louis asked.

"No."

"Well, I'm less interested now."

"Anyway, I was thinking we could all hang out today after school..."

"Yeah sure. I've got nothing to do," Eleanor shurgged.

"Me neither," Niall agreed.

"...with Zayn," I added.

They all dropped their pens and looked at me.

"Come on! I want you guys to get to know him and like him. He's nothing like any of you think."

"But don't you think that'll be awkward?" Tyler asked.

"Maybe at first. But we'll go out or something."

"I heard there's a festival or something tonight. With rides and food." Niall stated.

"Yeah we can do that!"

"I don't know. Aren't things fine how they are?" Louis spoke up.

"No, it's not. You guys don't like him. You're my friends, of course I want you to like him. And I think you will. Just don't think about what he does for tonight. Just focus on getting to know him because it means a lot to me."

Eleanor sighed. "Fine. We'll go."

"Yeah if it means this much to you, we'll do it," Tyler smiled.

"Thank you."

We all went back to work.

"Hey."

I looked up and saw Liam walking towards us with a girl beside him.

"Hey Li, where were you?" Niall asked as he took another bite of his sandwich.

"I went to pick her up from class," he answered and looked at the girl next to him.

Who is she?

"Uh, Liam. Are you going to introduce me to her?" I laughed.

"Oh yeah I forgot you haven't met her yet! This is Sophia. Sophia this is Emily, Tyler's sister."

"Hi, nice to meet you," I smiled kindly.

"Hey, you too. Liam has told me some stuff about you."

"Oh yeah? Hope it was all good."

"Yes definitely," she laughed.

Liam and Sophia sat down beside us on the grass.

"So what are you guys talking about?" Liam asked us.
