Falling Dramatically - A Louis Tomlinson Fan Fiction

Chapter 4

Enjoy! :) xx

You were in your formal dress, a pale pink, natural tone that hugged you tightly and fell to the floor. It was strapless and had detail around the bodice, you knew you looked beautiful. You walked into the large room full of people wearing amazing dresses and suits, smiling holding the arm of your date.

In your ear your date whispered, “You look amazing Lily.”

“Thankyou Louis, you said grinning and tossing your perfectly curled hair behind your shoulder. You waltzed onto the dancefloor and grabbed onto Louis, holding him tightly as you began a slow dance. You gently rested your head on his shoulder as he held your waist. You couldn’t get past how amazing he smelt! You brought your arms up and circled them around his neck, tangling your fingers in his hair.

“I love you Louis.”

“I love you too Lily.” Louis answered as you brought your heads together, coming in for a kiss…

“Lily! Lily!” Keira whispered urgently.

Ms Mckay was walking over and you had been staring into space. You quickly burrowed your head down into your work again and quickly completed the rest of the equations. Maths was easy for you, one of the only subjects. You jumped up and handed the teacher your sheet before walking out to your locker and getting your bag ready. Keira walked over to you.

“Lily! Hahaha! What were you daydreaming about? Going to the formal with Jake I bet!” she laughed teasingly.

“Uh, yeah, something along that line…” you trailed off.

“Anyway, what have you got now? I’ve got English. Didn’t you say you had a free?”

“Uh, study session with Louis for drama.”

“Awww! You poor thing! Don’t worry, you’ll get more frees. Don’t get up to any mischief with Louis!” she laughed gathering up her things and walking off.

You walked away in the opposite direction, to Louis’s office, whilst you sifted through your feelings about Louis in your head. At the start you hated him, then you didn’t, then you thought he was nice and he was your favourite teacher and now you were having daydreams about kissing him? This was all way too complicated. You paused outside the door; the walk had taken no time at all. Slowly you raised your hand and knocked.

“Come in!” Louis’s cheerful voice called.

You entered the room and sat down, grinning.

“Well this is going to be fun!” you said sarcastically, earning a laugh and smile from Louis.

“Sure is! Now how are you feeling about the upcoming exams?”

“Um, why do you want to know? Isn’t this supposed to be study session?”

“Well yes, but I just want to find out how you’re taking all the pressure. I struggled quite a lot so I ended up hiding it when no one asked me how I was and I ended up failing.”

“WHAT?! You FAILED?!” you yelled, practically jumping out of your chair. “Then what happened?”

“Well, I moved back to my old school where they were going to let me do them again and then… I got into X Factor.” He said quietly, slightly embarrassed.

“Wow. I get why you want to know now how I’m going now, I guess. But how did you get the job here then, if you have no qualifications?”

“Well, that’s what everyone wants to know.” He muttered glumly. “Managemnet pulled some strings, I don’t even know if it’s legal, but all I know is that how I’m here is being kept VERY ‘hush , hush.”

“I see. Well, I think you’re an amazing Drama teacher!” you blurted out before you could stop yourself. He had just looked so sad…

“You do?” he asked quietly, looking up.

“Yeah, I’ve learnt heaps more from you than I have from my old teacher.”

Louis smiled and looked at you with a glint in his eyes, before looking down back down at his notes slightly shyly.

“Well, where were we? Yes, so we’ll start off with the elements of stagecraft.”

“I think you’re the best teacher I’ve EVER had.” You said quietly.

Louis looked at you again and smiled.

“I am so not! You only like my because I’m rather dashing.” He laughed teasingly. You laughed as well and the whole room felt wonderful. You scoffed.

“You? Dashing? You wish! Anyway, who says dashing? I thought that was only pompous boys and old men, you’re definitely not a pompous boy, so I must be speaking with an 80 year old man in disguise!” You said laughingly, he laughed along with you. He leaned over and poked your shoulder whilst laughing, laughing as well, you looked up and were suddenly staring into his eyes. He hadn’t moved back into his seat entirely and was still leaning across the table looking at you grinning. Embarrassed, you hung your head down and let your hair cover your face. Next thing you knew it, Louis had reached out and grabbed your face, angling it up towards him. He then moved his hand and pushed your hair away from your face, gently tucking it behind your ear. You froze and looked at him and it felt like the room was electrically charged. Where he had touched your face, your skin was tingling. You noticed that he still hadn’t let go of your face and gently with one finger, he stroked your cheek. The look on his face was suddenly intense as he looked into your eyes. Mesmerised, you slowly lifted your hand and held onto his. Suddenly, his focus moved and he dropped his hand, looking down, he shook his head as if he was trying to control himself.

“Ahh, I’m sorry about that….Ahhh, where were we?” he stuttered slightly.

“Ahhhhh, ummm, errr, stagecraft, I think?” you stuttered as well, shocked and confused about what had just happened.

“Well, let’s, err, get back to that!” he said, clearly confused about what he had done as well. For the rest of the lesson, Louis fired questions at you, which most you couldn’t answer both from a lack of study and the way that being in the same room as Louis, just couldn’t quite help you focus, especially after such an emotionally charged incident. You left his office, confused but also knowing and dreading a realisation that you had had. You not only liked Louis Tomlinson, but an increasingly large worry was forming in your mind that you may just be beginning to fall for him as well.
