Forbidden Fruit

Mr. Rosponsible

"He wants to pick me up! Oh God, what did I just do?" Louis groans

"Wait, what? What did he say?" Zayn furrows his eyebrows

"He said a lot of things..I did most of the talking, but as I said, he's coming to pick me up" Louis bites his lip nervously

"Really? You're kidding.." Zayn replies, not believing what Louis just told him

"I'm not.."

"You're serious?" He asks, as if Louis would lie about something like that

"I am.." Louis still doesn't know what he should do

"Damn, boy! You're playing with fire."

Someone knocks on the bathroom door "Hurry it up in there!"

"Hold your horses! We're coming!" Zayn rolls his eyes and turns to Louis "I'm going to get some water. Want some?"

"No, you go ahead. I'll walk home" Louis says, choosing to not wait for his teacher

"See you in the morning!"

Louis walks outside and gets a breath of fresh air, but it's hard for him to walk straight.

What was I thinking..I should have taken Zayn up on that water. I don't feel so good.

He leans on a nearby fence, and then he appears.. Professor Styles, stepping out from the shadows like some ninja.

"Hey. I parked my car down the block. Hurry before someone sees us" He says, not wanting to get caught out with a student

"Yes, sir" Louis then follows him to his car

A very awkward walk and car ride later..

"So..thanks for the ride." Louis speaks up first

"You're welcome, but listen..this can't happen again. I could lose my job if we're seen together like this, and I know you're up for Valedictorian this year-"

Louis cuts him off "wait, what? How did you know that?"

"I, umm..." Harry stalls

"Did you look into me?" Louis raises his eyebrow

"Well, I..look into all my students" He lies

"All of your students? Hmm. Somehow I don't believe that" Louis crosses his arms

"Well, maybe I haven't looked into everyone just yet, but take that comment with a grain of salt. It doesn't mean anything."

"Whatever you say" Louis rolls his eyes, still believeing that Harry likes him

"This job is important to me, Louis. I can't..risk it. It's my first teaching job, and.." He sighs

Louis nods at him, but it makes his head feel funny, so he closes his eyes for a moment.

"Louis? Are you okay?"

"Sorry, still a little drunk, I guess. I'll be fine.."

It's now Harry's turn to furrows his eyebrows "Do you make it a habit...walking home at night while drunk?"

"No, actually, I don't. And what do you care?"

"You're one of my students, of course I care." Harry says like he does this with all his students

"Are you going to give all your students rides home then? Because trust me, that party was pretty wild" Louis smiles

Harry looks a bit mad "I think we should stop this conversation. You're not in the right frame of mind. From now on..we should only talk in class. Does that work for you?"
