Apparently Nick wasted no time going to Mr. Walker's when I was called to the principal's office during English.

"Harry Styles, please come to the principal's office immediately. I repeat, Harry Styles, please come to the principal's office." The school secretary called through the speakers and I stiffened in my seat.

Zayn was just explaining something when he stopped and looked at me. I got up slowly and took a quick glance at Niall and Liam who were looking at me nervously. Whispers roamed through the classroom and I felt everyone's stare on me as I slowly walked to the front. My whole body was shaking and my palms were sweating. Zayn gave me a barely noticeable nod and when I turned my head Nick was smirking at me. I immediately looked away and left the classroom.

Thankfully the corridors were empty as I walked towards the principal's office with shaky legs. Sweat began to form on my forehead and my breathing quickened. I was so scared, but I pulled myself together for our all sakes. I inhaled and exhaled deeply as I slowed down in hopes of delaying the inevitable. It went too fast for my liking when I stopped in front of Mr. Walker's closed door. There was no turning back now, so I raised my hand and knocked. I heard a muffled 'come in' and opened the door hesitantly. Mr. Walker was sitting behind his desk looking at me expressionless.

"Harry." He greeted and pointed to the seat in front of the desk. "Sit down, please." He said as I closed the door. I sat down and fiddled with my fingers in my lap.

"Do you have any idea why you are here, Harry?" He asked and I swallowed thickly.

"N-no, Sir." I said shaking my head slightly. He sighed rubbing his hands over his face before looking at me again.

"Okay, Harry. What I want you to do now is to be completely honest with me. This is a really serious matter." I nodded quickly and mentally prepared myself for what was to come. "A student came to me earlier and accused you of..." He took a deep breath. "...of having an affair with a teacher." He finished and I suppressed inhaling a laboured breath. Oh god, it's really happening now. I already knew it, but now that he actually spoke it out loud I needed everything inside of me not to start shaking.

"W-what?" I asked incredulously and only hoped I sounded genuinely shocked.

"Yes, Harry. Like I said, it's a serious matter, so please tell me the truth. Are you in a relationship with Mr. Tomlinson?" He asked me and I swore that my heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

"What? No!" I said bewildered.

"Harry." He sighed.

"N-no. I...what? I'm not in a relationhip with Mr.Tomlinson. That's against the law, why would I do such a thing?" I asked indignantly.

"Alright, then can you tell me why a student would accuse you of this?" He asked, looking at me intensely.

"I have no idea!" I exclaimed. "Maybe they have a problem with me, I don't know!"

"And why did he show me a picture of you visiting Mr. Tomlinson in the hospital?" Fuck! This question caught me completely off guard and I simply looked at him open-mouthed.

"W-what?" I couldn't help but ask. My head was spinning like crazy now and I couldn't keep my facade up anymore.

"I want an answer, Harry!" He was really getting angry now and I swallowed thickly. Think, Harry! Save yourself and Louis!

"I...m-my mother works in the hospital and she told me t-that he was there and I...I just...I wanted to..." Involuntarily tears formed in my eyes because now I knew it was over, especially when Mr. Walker looked at me in disbelief. He knew I was lying and I sighed in defeat. I knew there was no other way but to tell him now.
