The Neighbours

Chapter-3

STELLA'S POV

He must be finding a vacant seat. I look down at my book and start silently reading the chapter to myself and that it's when I realize that there is a vacant seat next to my seat. Oh no! Well wait why will he even choose to sit next to me. 

Forget it.

I look at him and suddenly our eyes connect. Hell! I look away but it's too late now as he already caught my stare. I slowly glance back at him. He is still looking at me but this time he has a smirk plastered across his face. He walks to where I am sitting and sits to the seat next to me.

SHIT!

Everyone in the class is surprised by his movements and they all start talking and whispering and I can see that all the other girls are jealous. Well I am surprised myself. I look at the fake Harry who is sitting next to me. This is not real, this can't be real. Whatever, he is so annoying.

My imagination is interrupted when Zoe starts coughing. I mean she is pretending to, she is trying to grab my attention and I know why. Thank God! She is not hooting right now.
I look at Zoe who has a big smile on her small face. She raises one of her eyebrow. She is definitely thinking that her statement of him liking me is correct but it's not that, he is playing some tricks or fooling me.

I mouth to her 'I don't know why he is sitting here.'

Wow, what a day! On my left side is my friend, Zoe sitting who is getting mad and on my right side is a fake Harry, showing his weird behavior. 

"Silence." Mr Bruce says and every whisper in the class comes to a stop.

"So who will tell me what is a feudal system?"

That's easy! I raise my hand, "A feudal system is a type of social and political system in which landholders provide land to tenants in exchange for their loyalty and service."

"Excellent!" Mr Bruce remarks me.

"Thank you, sir." I say and take my seat.

"Good. Beauty with brain I see." Harry says looking towards me with his famous beautiful smile on his face.

"Well if you can answer the teacher you can answer me as well." He adds.

"I don't answer to brainless minds." I say looking in front with a proud smile spread on my face from my response.

From the corner of my eyes, I can see his face drop in shock but he quickly regains his normal expressions back.
He leans in my direction, raises his eyebrow and says, "Well if you teach me then..."

"Oh, shut up!" I quickly reply to his cocky behavior.

Everyone in the class starts looking towards me and I hung my head low in embarrassment while he starts laughing loudly.

"Okay attention everyone." Mr Bruce says.

Thank God! If Mr Bruce wouldn't have said anything then everyone would have seen my cheeks which are red as tomato by now due to embarrassment.

"Your English teacher has taken a leave from the school today because he is unwell so on the behalf of him I am going to tell you about the project you have to make in literature." Yes! I love literature. Finally something good is happening at last.

"So everyone will be writing a story and do not worry as this time you all will be working with a partner."

Whispers start rising in the class. Everyone is wishing to be a partner of Harry Styles. Good for them!

I look at Harry who is sitting unaffected by these whispers and wishes. He is sitting on his seat with his legs wide spread. He is looking at the smart board with a blank expression, making his thought hard to read. Wait! Does he even think? I highly doubt about that.

He turns towards me and I quickly look away but from the corner of my eyes I can still see a big smile on his face; he must have caught me looking at him.

"Stella!" Mr Bruce says. I quickly stand up from my chair.

"Yes sir?"

"Stella your partner will be Harry." All the murmuring around us ends in a dangerous silence. My mouth opens wide in shock and my socket balls are wide open that can pop out anytime. No, please tell it is a joke because it's a very bad one. I can't do this project with him. Is it 1st April?

"Stella?...Stella?" Mr Bruce pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Y-Yes sir?"

"Is there a problem, Stella?" Yes.

"N-No."

"Good." he says.

I sit back on my chair and my eyes roam at every corner of the classroom with my mouth still open wide in shock and I can see nothing but jealously radiating out from all the girls of the class. Now who is going to tell them I have no liking for him?

The bell rings and the class comes to an end.

To avoid any further talk I quickly run out of the classroom, making my way through the crowded corridors to the cafeteria. I am hungry and I don't want to see anyone right now.
I came a little early so the cafeteria isn't that much crowded than it is usually. I stand in the line and wait for my turn. There are three people standing in front of me. Nice! I should actually come early every day in the cafeteria.

Well you might be thinking the literal meaning of late that is behind time but that correct meaning doesn't imply on the school's cafeteria. I usually use to come five minutes later compared to the present time and you will be surprised to know that I need to stand in a line similar to the one seen in an amusement park's ride.

Exhausting as hell!

Now only one person is standing in front of me and a few seconds later food will be in my hand. Yes, I am really hungry right now.

"Hey!" A voice says behind my back. I ignore it as I think that maybe it is said to someone else.

"Hey, Stella." Shit! Don't tell me it's him.
