Chapter 4
I'd like to say I was always that weed. The one that nested with the eagles and wavered in the wind yet stayed grounded somehow. The one all the poets couldn't seem to get enough of. That had always been my brother though. With him gone I have taken it into my hands to take his place.
I began studying. Working. Trying. Excelling. And with it all-seeping into a shy, quiet, and rejected personality.
This is why nobody expected me to be the one to speak out when one direction decided to attend my high school.
I mean its one thing to have them related to an issue I am totally for preventing and hating them and then another to share every single class with one. At least he isn't loud but the way all the girls still drool makes me want to puke. And I can't puke in My subjects-god only knows what I'd miss and I need those AP classes for Duke.
That'd be Liam that has my twin schedule. I feel bad awful about what happened at Starbucks but none of them have brought it up and I've been seeing them around a lot.
I have to admit if I sit in the front and don't have to watch everybody stare then I get by but it's those classes where I'm shoved into the corner with him right smack in the middle...or worse having to sit next to him. Letting him borrow my pencils because its rude to be rude.
"Today's assignment will be to go further into the periodic table using a directed reading worksheet out of your book."
I sigh inwardly knowing I will not have to talk to my table partner at all. The late bell echoes in the hall way and I look up anyway, knowing no one in this high of a class at this school would walk in late. I hear a rustle to the right of papers and look down and the slated desk.
"You will be working with your lab partners today." Mr. Watterson continues and I feel my hand clench around my pencil till it hurts.
He begins passing out the worksheet, one for every table or 2 desks. When he reaches my table I snatch the paper before it can even touch the cold surface my books are stacked on.
I fill out the information in the top right corner. My full name: Courtney Taylor Metzgar and then my partners:Liam James Payne.
A good name.
A strong name.
One name.
One name from One Direction.
A life changing name.
