Sometimes We Make Mistakes (Boyxboy)

Chapter 4: Partners

I wake up, to what seems to be hours later. I struggle to get up, but I eventually I miraculously pick myself up. I walk out of the bathroom, limping off of school campus.
I get into my car and drive back home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I get home, I realize that mom and dad are both gone. At work as always. I make some mac and cheese, then lay down on the couch. I devour it like I haven't eaten in years. Then I turn on the tv and finally drift off to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~

I stretch out my arms and yawn. I slowly sit up and look at my clock. Shit I'm going to be late.

~~~~~~~~

When I arrive I head straight to my locker, only to get pushed out of the way and called "fag". You'd think that how regularly this occurs I'd be used to it.
I take the shoving and just walk to my first class early, so I don't run into any more new bullies wandering around. The first period goes by and before I know it's time for second.

The tardy bell rings and everyone takes a seat, I quickly steal a glance at the back of the room to notice the gorgeous dark haired boy is here today as well as Dan.

Mr.Stancliff (the English teacher) starts class off with,
"Ok class today we will start a new project, this project will count for 25% of your final grade."
The whole class groans. "Oh, and you will be working in pairs." A few students glanced at each other... pairing up already. "But, before you get too excited, I will be choosing partners for you." The whole class groans again.
"Okay, so let's start the list..."

Mr. Stancliff reads off,"Dan Peters and Sophia Clark, Eleanor Calder and Perrie Edwards, Phil Frank and Dillon Mark, Lily Till and Josiah Evans, Elizabeth Manner, Tabitha Johnson, .....and last but not least Niall Horan and Zayn Malik."
Who's Zayn Malik? I turn my head and searched the room only just on the dark haired boy staring at me... fuck.
