Shield (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 5

*Louis POV*

After lunch me and Harry separated and went to our own classes. Being one grade above Harry really sucked sometimes. How was I suppose to know if he was ok? Occasionally he would have mental break downs in the bathroom and I hate that I have to find out about it later because I wasn't there to help. He's been going through a lot lately. With his mom being an alcoholic slut now. I know he tries to hide his pain but he's not very good at it. He's terrible actually. Both of our grades have been slipping dramatically this year. Mine the most though. At least Harry had a reason. I've come up with the theory that I'm just that stupid and too easily distracted by....something. I don't see how I can be so distant from the world and not no what's pulling at me. I try to ignore it but it just tugged harder. Oh God I bet I sound mad! Ugh I belong in a loony bin. I don't even know what the Hell Mrs. Mae was going on about. I could really care less about the elements of the periodic table. That reminded me..I didn't do my homework last night! Shit! Welp...that makes two weeks in a row. Whatever it's not like she can really do anything about it. Maybe she'll even forget....

Only five minutes till class ends! She actually forgot!

"Oh! Mrs Mae! You forgot to collect last night's homework!" some annoying as fuck little prick said. The entire class shot him death glares. He shrunk back in his seat realizing he made a mistake. Yah that's right. Feel threatened."Oh yes! The homework! I had forgotten!".......son.of.a.BITCH! "have it out on your desk everyone."

Everyone around me started to pull out the homework onto there desks while I remained still. Once she came to the back to my seat, clipboard in hands, her expression became annoyed. She began writing on her clipboard again.

"No homework again Mr Tomlinson?" she asked calm but I heard the irritation in her voice. I guess she was becoming tired with this routine.

" I ...erm... forgot...sorry." there was no emotion in my voice and she sighed.

"Well I'll be seeing you in detention Mr Tomlinson. I've had about enough of you'forgetting' that not only have you not turned in your assignments in three weeks-,"

"two-," i mumbled

" but you have an F in my class."

She waited for me to say something but I stayed silent. I have nothing to say to her.

"you will come here for detention for one hour after school for the rest of this week. Is that clear?"

"yah sure..whatever." I said staring into my lap. Pissed. She walked off and I repressed the urge to throw my desk chair at her. I got even madder at the thought of coming back here and sit with her for an extra hour. I'd rather stab pencils in my eyeballs.

"Oh and Louis ?" I heard her ask, calling me by my first name this time.

"Yes Mrs Mae ?" I answered back sweetly with a fake smile.

"you'll start coming today." she mimicked my smile and turned back. My faced immediately turned into a frown and I gave her the finger while her back was turned.

*~~~~*

After an extremely boring detention with Mrs. Mae, I ran out of her class as quickly as possible and headed home. After saying hi to mum and my sisters and lied about detention and just said I hung out with Harry since I do that sometimes, I went upstairs and saw I missed a Skype call from Harry. I called him back, feeling guilty that I hadn't texted him that I had detention since we did this everyday. After three rings he answered. No one could ever mistake that mop of brown curls.

"Hey Lou! Where were you?" he seemed a bit concerned and suprised.

"Hey sorry I had detention with Mrs.Mae ." I growled.

"Yikes. Lemme guess. You started talking back to her again?"

"Hey that was one time! And if you hadn't been texting me, my phone wouldn't have went off, and she wouldn't have tried to take it away!" I yelled loudly referring back when the entire class was silent, and out of no where, BING! The bitch tried to take it away! Its not like I was gonna reply back! She gave me detention for refusing to give it to her. Later I checked the message and it read "hi :)" from: Hazzathesexiestbabeever (he put that in my phone of course) while from me his would read 'BooBeartheawsomestmofoever'. Ever since then I've double checked my phone was on silent.

"Well maybe if you turned your phone off..." he shrugged

"Well maybe if you had just WAITED TO SAY HI THAT WOULDA BEEN OK TOO!" I yelled again getting all up in the webcam. He just laughed.

"And if you must know ," I started," it was because I haven't been turning in my homework."

Harry raised his eyebrows."oooohhh! Someone's been a naughty school boy!"

I rolled my eyes"And when's the last time you've done yours curly?"

He just shrugged again and flashed me a cheeky smile"I dunno. A month? Or two?"

"How's that possible if you have higher grades then me still?" i asked

He stretched out his arms"I guess I'm just special."

"You are special Haz." I said softly. A huge grin spread across his face and...I couldn't be sure but...did he just blush? I swear I saw some pink in his cheeks! Probably not. Its gotta be the lighting in the room and the way his laptop is angled. Suddenly his grin turned into a scared expression and we both heard a loud BANG in the background. His head turned to the direction of his door. He did NOT look ok.

"What the Hell was that!?" I asked trying to see what he was looking at.

"Shh!!" I stayed quiet, becoming scared. After what seemed like a really long time, he relaxed and turned his face back at the screen.

"It was just my mom. She just got home." he seemed relived and still scared at the same time.

"oh" was all I could say. He looked down in his lap and looked back up at me.

"She just brought home some dude...I don't know who he is." his voice was a bit shaky.

" What happened to that employee from Chucky Cheese?" i asked curiously. She had brought him home only a couple days ago.

"erm..I don't know to be honest." after a moment of silence he said"hey I gotta go. See ya tomorrow." I could tell he was faking but I didn't wanna press him right now.

"oh ok. Bye haz." I gave him a small smile and wave before he logged off. Everything would be easier if Harry just lived with me. We were already inseparable as it is! I stared thinking about him being here everyday. We could do everything. If mum says it's ok, that is. We would play videogames ,watch films, make fun of each other, he could finally teach me how to cook while wearing that tight apron ....wait...did I just think that? Um certainly not. I mean yah it IS tight but it's whatever right? I shook my head and pulled out my homework. I'm not staying in detention for the rest for the rest of the year!
