Just Friends

The headache spreading in my head as soon as I woke up made me feel like I was going to die. I stretched my arms and let out a groan. ''So you're awake now? How are you feeling?'' he teased where he laid down beside me looking at his phone. I sat up a little to quick and felt the well known tingling feeling in my throat. God, no. ''I need to throw up'' I hurried to the bathroom and reached the toilet just in time for my tummy to get rid of everything inside it. I heard Harry come in after me and crouched down beside me rubbing my back gently. He mumbled something about that I'd feel better soon.

After a couple of hours of sleep I began to feel better and headed out to the kitchen were Harry was sitting. ''I was just gonna get some bagels'' Harry said and grabbed his keys from the kitchen counter. ''Yum, is it okay if I take a shower?'' ''help your self'' he said and walked out the door. I walked in to Harry's bathroom and jumped out of my clothes. I glanced at myself in the mirror before I walked in the shower.

When I was done I made my way to Harry's bedroom wearing only a towel. My dress from last night were laying on the floor and I thought about whether I should put it on or look for something in Harry's closet. I made my way over to the closet and grabbed grey sweatpants and a tank top with Nirvana on. When I was done I walked back to the kitchen and found Harry sitting on the kitchen counter sipping on some tea. ''Hey, I got the bagels, you want any?'' he laughed when he saw I was already reaching for them. ''I had really fun last night, thank you so much'' I swallowed and took another bite. ''Yeah I saw you had a lot of fun. And tequila'' he smirked. I pushed him ''hey, I wasn't that drunk'' I tried even though I knew that wasn't the case. ''Mmhm'' he said not convinced. ''Are you feeling better?'' he said moving on ''yeah I am, by the way thanks for getting me home safe last night'' I smiled ''yeah, I should have left you on the street when you didn't find your keys though'' we both laughed at his stupid comment.

My alarm went off and I let out a loud groan. Good god it's too early for this crap. It was Monday which meant first day of Uni. I couldn't be more excited, but it was also nerve wracking. I felt my heart pounding hard and grabbed my phone to text my friends and beg for some pep talk. I smiled when I saw Harry already beat me to it.

From: Styles

Hope you'll have a good first day! You'll be fine DON'T stress out about it, just be you and everything will turn out great. Love yoooouuuuuuu

A huge smile formed my face and I couldn't be more grateful for having him as my best friend. Moments like these made me realize how great he really was, like he knew I needed encouragement before I did. That's what I call a best friend six sense.

I found my place in the room I was going to spend three years in and looked around at my new classmates. They were all dressed in designer clothes and I felt kind of out of place with my skinny jeans and shirt from Forever 21.
The rest of the consisted me getting death stare from every single person in the room for being completely clueless of everything that was going on. I love fashion, I really, really do but I didn't have any idea of what the hell the professor was saying.

''How was your first day, honey?'' mom had called as soon as I walked out from the last lecture of the day. ''Well, I've barely finished. But it was okay'' ''just okay?'' she sounded worried. ''It's the first day, mom. I don't really know yet'' I laughed trying to get her to stop being worried. When we'd finished our talk I saw a text from Harry and smiled looking at what his name was in my phone. I was the only one calling him Styles so it had become some sort of thing between us. I was Luce and he was Styles.

Picking ya up from school, I'm bored and in desperate need for company..

I laughed and walked out of the building to the parking lot. Harry sat in his car and wore a grey beanie keeping his curls in place. ''Hey'' we said at the same time and I leaned in for a hug. ''Well you look too school for cool'' he said looking at my glasses I wore and my backpack. I laughed and threw my backpack in the backseat. I took of my glasses and let down my hair from the pony tail and shook my head. ''How about now, don't I look sexy?'' he laughed ''yeah, totally. I can barely keep my hands of you''. I pushed him lightly and took up my phone. Harry was driving weird and hit the brakes suddenly causing me to fly forward with my seat belt stopping me. ''What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?'' I laughed and he mumbled something about the asshole in the car in front of us. Once again I took up my phone and pressed on the camera icon. I held it in front of my face but with Harry visible on the side, quickly I made a scared face and took the photo. When he realized I was taking pictures he tried to grab my phone. ''Hey, concentrate on the road'' I yelled and he put both hands on the wheel again. ''It would be easier to concentrate on the road if I wasn't being photographed'' I just laughed at him and pointed out all the times he'd photographed me without permission. I opened the twitter app and tweeted the photo.

This one needs to learn how to drive, he nearly just killed me. @harry_styles

''So what do you wanna do today, Styles?'' I said as I put my phone down in my pocket. ''I don't know, Luce. If you're tired we can just chill'' I laughed ''Netflix and chill?'' he laughed and pushed me playfully.

I reached for the bawl full of candy from my table by the sofa and put it on my tummy. Harry groaned painfully ''how can you even eat any more candy? I'm dying over here, I need to open up my pants before they tear apart'' I laughed at his pain and threw some M&Ms at him. ''Will you take care of me then when I throw up?'' he said shoving the M&Ms in his mouth ''never''. I put the bawl back on the table and before I knew it Harry flew over me and started to tickle me.''What? What are you saying? I thought we were friends who took care of each other'' I was screaming of laughter since I was extremely ticklish, wish he was well aware of. ''Please, stop'' I screamed trying to catch my breath ''say you're sorry'' ''never in a million years''.

''Do you wanna go to the gym?'' Harry asked when we had just been chilling in my sofa for two hours. ''Yeah, sure. Do you need to go home and change?'' I stood up from the sofa and headed for my room ''no, I have clothes in my car''.

''We need to take a picture'' Harry grabbed his phone and stood in front of a big mirror. I stood beside him and posed by sticking out my bum a bit. I mean, it looked so good in my yoga pants so you can't blame me. ''Uh, what are you doing?'' he said looking at my bum ''just take the picture'' I sounded more annoyed than I intended to and felt a little bad. He shrugged but took the picture before going to a treadmill. I got on the treadmill beside him and started to walk. The thing between me and Harry is that we are both so damn competitive so it only took a couple minutes before we tried to walk faster than the other. I pressed the buttons to increase the speed and saw Harry was doing the same while smirking at me. It didn't take long before we both were running on our treadmills. To be honest I wasn't in the best shape I've been and got breathless very fast. ''Maybe you should take it down a notch, we don't want you falling down of exhaustion'' he teased ''shut.up'' I managed to say between my attempts to breathe. We continued a couple more minutes before I jumped of the treadmill and tried to catch my breath.
''I won'' he simply said and jumped of his treadmill too. ''Oh shut the fuck up, Harry'' I usually never dropped the f-bomb at him and he looked a little offended. ''Why are you so irritated today?'' he asked and I got even more annoyed. Why am I even being annoyed right now? We always compete and tease each other so this is not even something I should react to. When I didn't answer he sighed ''you're bringing down the mood''. ''Well we don't have to hang out then'' I snapped and grabbed my things ''Stop, Lucy don't be like that. Were are you going? I'm your ride'' he yelled as I walked out of the gym.

Harry's P.O.V

''Haz, you're zoning out again. What's up?'' Niall asked. The boys and I were at Niall's place playing Fifa and I guess I've been pretty quiet the whole night. I shrugged ''I just don't understand girls'' the boys laughed ''who does?'' Zayn said and paused the game. ''It's just...Lucy was acting kind of weird the other day and when I called her out on it she snapped at me and stormed off. I mean it's not that we don't have fights or anything but her snapping at me was so uncalled for'' Lucy had ignored me for two days and I had no idea what the hell was going on with her. ''Oh, I wish you'd told us you were in a fight sooner because I invited her here tonight with El and Dani'' Liam said looking ashamed. I was just about to answer when the doorbell rang ''I guess that's them'' Louis said and headed for the door. As soon as I saw Lucy i got pissed, my mood instantly dropped and she didn't even look at me or said hi. Everyone noticed the tension and tried to make the best of it.

Niall had brought out some beer that we all were drinking in the livingroom and I think all of us started to feel the buzz. ''I wanna play truth or dare'' Eleanor yelled and Danielle cheered. No, please. Not truth or dare. The other boys didn't seem to mind and Danielle started. ''Louis, truth or dare?'' he pretended to think long and hard ''truth'' ''okay, what was your first impression of...Lucy'' she pointed at Lucy who smiled at them. ''Well, having Harry constantly talking about her it was very hard not to like her the first time we met. I mean that kind of friendship those two have I'm very jealous''. I looked down playing with my nails trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. What are they trying to do here? Trying to get me and Lucy to solve things? Well that's not gonna happen right now. ''Harry, truth or dare'' Louis smirked at me ''truth'' I said trying to sound as If I didn't care. ''What is the lowest a person can do?'' what the hell kind of question is that? ''Uhm, like I really hate people who starts stupid arguments and then ignores the person rather than telling them what the fuck is going on'' Lucy choked on her beer and everyone got quiet. Lucy finally stood up ''uhm, I think I'm gonna go'' I stood up too making everyone face me ''no, you're not. You're gonna finish the game so sit down'' she finally made eye contact with me and she looked mad. ''Fine'' she said loud and sat down again. ''So Lucy, why is it that you're acting like a bitch towards the people that care about you?'' I said still with everyone's eyes at me ''You didn't even ask me truth or dare. I choose dare'' she said and I saw the anger in her face building up. ''Fine. I dare you to stand up in front of everyone and tell them you're a bitch'' I know I was being mean but she made me so pissed. She stood up but instead of start talking she walked over to me, grabbed my hand and dragged me to Niall's bedroom. She shut the door behind us and crossed her arms over each other. ''What are we doing?'' her face suddenly softened. ''What are we doing? What are you doing, Lucy? You snapped at me and then fucking ignored me for two days'' I said loud ''I don't know'' was the only thing she said and it made me even more annoyed. ''Well tell me what you fucking know then. You can't just act like a fucking bitch and expect me to accept it. I get that people have bad days and whatever but we've been best friends since High School I expect you to tell me things and not fucking ignore me'' I yelled at her which was pretty uncalled for and I think the alcohol I'd consumed made it's part but I felt relieved getting it out of my system. She jumped every time I swore, it wasn't that I didn't cuss, it was just that we didn't really cuss at each other. Lucy looked like she was about to cry and all my anger towards her washed of. ''I'm sorry. It's easier to get it all out on the people you rely most on instead of actually dealing with the problem. I've just been so stressed over school because I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing and everything is just so confusing'' tears started to stream down her face and I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight.
