Thou Shall Not Fall

Chapter 6

First period went by pretty quickly. We had partners so I wasn’t really bothered much by Harry. The one thing that bothered me though is when class first started, and Harry and Zayn walked in, Zayn looked at me oddly. He just smiled widely and then whispered something in Harry’s ear which left him grinning like an idiot. I didn’t understand why? At first I thought something was on my face but I had Dylan check and he said I looked just fine. I didn’t get it…

After first period I met up with Micah in the hallway. We discussed our plans for tomorrow and we started walking to Science. I was really excited for tomorrow, I hadn’t been on a real date in a long time so this was a big deal for me. I didn’t know where he was taking me though. A lot of places are boarded up because of the curfew and all the disappearances So besides the boardwalk there really was no where else for us to go.

We walked into science hand in hand. He turned to me for a second before we went to my lab table. “I need to talk to the teacher real quick babe.” 

I nodded before he kissed me on the check and I proceeded to take my seat. I got my binder out of my bag and put it on top of the table. I got out my agenda and started writing the date and our learning target for the day. I heard the chair move next to me and assumed it was Micah.

“What did you need to talk to the teacher about babe?” I asked.

“Uh, call me babe again.” I heard a husky voice moan. 

My head shot up to see Harry now sitting next to me. “What the hell!? Micah sits there!” He gave me an innocent stare before shrugging. “MOVE!” I demanded.

“Lover boy can sit somewhere else today.” He winked. 

I looked ahead of me to see Micah looking at Harry in confusion. He shrugged before walking past our table and taking a seat behind us with Liam. I turned around and mouthed a ‘Sorry’ before he winked at me and mouthed an ‘it’s fine’. I turned back at Harry and looked at him blankly.

“What do you want?” I said through gritted teeth.

Harry moved his mouth to my ear and I felt his cool breath fan over my neck. “Haven’t you caught on that I just like to drive you crazy?”

It took everything in me not to smack the stupid grin off his face. I clenched my jaw and scooted my chair as far away from him as possible. Towards the end of class I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I looked down to see I had a text from Micah.

This curly headed guy is really starting to get on my nerves ;)-Micah.

I smiled before typing back.

Trust me. I know the feeling -Sam

“Y’know, you really shouldn’t text in class.”

“Y’know you should really kiss my ass.”

“I bet you’d like that wouldn’t you?” He grinned at me and knocked our knees together under the table. There was something in the way he said it that made me think about what he said this morning. About how he had a dream about me last night. He was just really freaking me out.

“Fuck off.” I said under my breath even though I know he heard it because of the smirk he gave me.

The bell rang and I let out a sigh of relief. Harry got up from his seat and turned towards me. “See you in gym love.” He turned his back from me and then him and Liam walked out the classroom door. 

I shook my head while gathering my things. Ugh Harry! Ugh gym! Micah walked up to me and looked at me curiously. “What’s up with that kid?” I shrugged while walking past him.
