Rachel's P.O.V.

When eventually 1 o'clock came around, I went to meet Louis by the fountain.

I had been waiting all morning for this.

As I got closer to the fountain I saw Louis sitting there, looking at his phone in his lap.

"Hey" I called out, causing him to look up quickly.

He smiled slightly, standing up.

"You came" he stated simply.

I furrowed my brow.

"You though I wouldn't?" I asked, feeling somewhat amused.

He shrugged.

"You got pretty mad last night" he answered.

I grimaced.

"About last night. I'm so sorry - I was way too drunk. I guess I was just lucky you were there to stop me from making a huge mistake" I told him honestly.

He grinned.

"Yes you were. Very lucky" he agreed.

I rolled my eyes

"Well c'mon, you wanna get on with this tour or what?" I asked.

We spent the next hour and a half wandering round the campus. Louis showed me all the places him and the other four hung out.

"And here. This is the best place to eat.. They have the best pizza ever.." Louis indicated to the small shabby looking take-out place at the edge of the campus.

"That place?" I asked sceptically.

He nodded enthusiastically.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover Rach. We order food from there all the time" he told me.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you know I think I might have to buy you food from there one of the days" He suggested, his voice suddenly light and teasing.

I gave him a smirk.

"Theres no time like the present" I reminded him.

He smiled in response.

"I'd love to, but I have another class to get to" he told me regretfully.

I shrugged.

"No biggie" I said casually, beginning to walk back in the direction we had come from.

I didn't have another lecture for over an hour but it was near enough where Louis was having his, so we walked together.

We chatted about anything and everything while walking. He told me a lot about his course.
He was studying music and drama.

I could tell he loved it by the way he talked about it.

"Do you play any instruments?" he asked, genuinely curious.

I shook my head firmly.

"Nah-uh. I can play the triangle.. But even at that I manage to do it wrong" I muttered, remembering vividly how I was kicked out of the school band for my atrocious triangle-playing.

He chuckled slightly.

"How'd you manage that?" he pressed.

I shrugged.

"No idea" I replied honestly.

"How about you?" I added.

"I play a bit of piano" he said modestly, looking down.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

"Really?" I hadn't had him pegged as a piano player. I had always figured he would of went for something like guitar. Piano was so serious and complex.

He nodded.

Before I had a chance to explore this piece of information we were interrupted by a yell of Louis name.

I turned on my heels quickly to see a girl running forward to hug him.

She had long straight strawberry blonde hair that fell smoothly around her shoulders, down her back and bright green eyes. Apart from a few scattered freckles, her skin was clear. She looked no more than a year or two older than me.

I stood awkwardly watching as she flung herself into Louis arms.

"It's so good to see you again Lou" she smiled widely when they parted, revealing a set of perfectly straight, pearly-white teeth.

"You too" Louis smiled back just as brightly.

"And who exactly is this?" she asked, suddenly turning to face me.

She scanned me over quickly, before meeting my eye. I felt extremely uncomfortable when in her gaze. Her stare was making me feel self-conscious and I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.

"This is Rachel.. She's Harry's sister" Louis explained quickly.

She nodded.

"Nice to meet you" she offered me her hand and I shook it quickly.

"You too" I lied casually.

"I'm Niomi" she added.

I just nodded in response.

"Right, well I better get going, I've got classes to get to! But call me later Tomlinson, we need a catch up" she gave him a wink before walking away.

As soon as she did, we began walking too, in the opposite direction.

"Soo.." I began, unsure of what to ask.

Louis raised an eyebrow.

"Who was that?" I finally mumbled out, deciding that would be the best way to go.

"That was Niomi" he replied.

I rolled my eyes.

"I had figured as much" I pushed him playfully as I spoke, causing him to grin a little.

"She's my ex" he added.

For some reason that annoyed me. I couldn't really place a finger on it, but it sure as hell did.

We continued chatting aimlessly after that until we got to Louis' class, though I was still feeling off.

"Hey thanks for today Louis. I appreciate it" I told him sincerely, as we approached the door.

"No problem at all Rach" he answered, with a small smile.

"See you round" I added awkwardly unsure of what to say next.

As I began walking away I heard him call my name.

I turned to face him, wondering what he could possibly want.

"Yes?"

"Let me know when your free to have that pizza" he said quickly, with a wink, then disappeared into his classroom.

And so, for the second time that day I headed off to a lecture with a smile on my face. I had another lecture after that, and then headed out to the café to get some food.

Once I had eaten I headed back to the room, to find that I was alone. I had no idea where the other two were and I was feeling quite sweaty from my long walk around campus with Louis, so I had another shower.

Afterwards, I put on a pair of pyjama's, even though it was only quarter to eight.
I took my laptop out of it's case and sat on the bed watching Youtube videos for a while.

Eventually Tricia came back, and sitting on my bed, she joined me. We watched a lot of Troye Sivan. He was after all my favourite youtuber.

At about half eight a loud knock on the door interrupted us.

I plopped the laptop on the bed and walked over to the door.

When I opened it I found Skylar surrounded by four boys.

"Sorry, I forgot my key" she told me quickly.

"No problem, who are your friends?" I asked her quickly, impressed.

"This is Luke, Michael, Calum and Ashton" she introduced them quickly, but I was no longer paying attention.

The boy from last night.. He was here. He meet my eye and gave me an awkward shrug.

"Do you wanna come in?" Tricia offered from behind me.

The one with the dark hair smiled.

"Would love to" he accepted her offer quickly.

They all piled into the room than and I shut the door awkwardly behind them.

"Nice pyjamas" Ashton teased as he walked by.

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but grin.

"Thanks, it's nice to see you again too" I replied.

Skylar looked confused.

"Do you guys know each other?" she asked.

I sighed.

"Not exactly.."
