Don't Distract [L.S.]

One

"Alright class, today we are welcoming a new student and a friend..." the teacher waved toward the door and a curly-headed boy walked into the classroom, and next to him was a golden retriever. "Class, this is Harry and Annie, Now everyone, please be respectful and do not distract Annie or touch her unless you have Harry's permission... Harry, there is an open seat next to Louis, Louis could you please raise your hand?"

A boy with feathery brown hair raised his hand with a soft smile, he had a button nose, bright blue eyes, and cute rectangle glasses that framed his face perfectly. Harry bit his lip and walked toward the back of the classroom where Louis was sitting, he sat down next to him and Annie laid down under the table. "Alright, I need to get some things from the print, talk amongst yourselves until I get back," the teacher announced.

"Hi," Louis smiled at him, Harry smiled nervously, "Hi," he said softly, "Your dog is cute," Harry's smile widened a bit, letting his dimples become more prominent. "Thanks," Annie was now sitting with her head on Harry's lap, "If you don't mind me asking, why do you bring her to school?"

"Oh, um, she's my service dog, mainly for anxiety, but she also helps if or when I have a seizure," he explained as he gently scratched her ears. Louis nodded, "Wow, she must be very smart then," Harry giggled softly and nodded, "How old is she?" he asked, "She's almost four,"

It was now lunchtime and Harry was nervous he didn't know where to sit and he doesn't know who he should sit with, not to mention he doesn't like being in a crowded place with a lot of people. He found an empty hallway and sat down, he gave Annie her food and started slowly eating his food.

After a little while, a group of kids were walking past, "You're the new kid, right?" Harry nodded softly, "You're the one who fakes anxiety problems so he can bring his dog to school," Harry tucked his knees to his chest. "I-I'm not f-faking," one of them walked up to Annie, showing her a piece of sandwich meat to try and distract her.

"S-Stop, don't d-distract h-her," Harry's breath began to quicken, "HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" someone shouted, the group of kids laughed and ran off. Louis was next to Harry now, "A-Annie," he said with a struggling breath. Louis grabbed her harness and guided her attention back to Harry, she quickly pushed past his arms and legs, letting Harry wrap his arms around her.

Louis sat down next to him and waited for the boy to calm down, after about fifteen minutes, Harry's breathing was back to normal. "How are you feeling?" the blue-eyed boy asked softly, "Better, thank you for getting them to leave, and thank you for getting her attention back,"

"Of course, want me to walk you to your next class?" Harry smiled, "If you want, you don't have to, I can figure it out," Louis stood up and held out his hands for the green-eyed boy, "Come on, I take you to your next class, let me see your schedule,"

Harry grabbed his schedule out of his pocket and handed it to Louis, "We have the same classes for the rest of the day," Louis smiled, and Harry smiled as he bit his lip. "Come on let's go, we don't have much time before the bell rings," the curly-headed boy nodded and giggled quietly before throwing his trash away and putting Annie's collapsible bowl back in his backpack.

They were in their last class of the day, art, Harry and Louis were both in the back of the classroom talking quietly as they drew in their sketchbooks. Annie sat under the desk keeping her full attention on Harry, making sure he was okay, she kept her head on his lap as she slightly wagged her tail. 

"How are you feeling, Harry?" Harry shrugged, "I'm okay, thanks again for helping," Louis smiled softly at him, "Of course, I don't want you to get hurt or anything," the green-eyed boy blushed and smiled.

School was now over and Harry was about to shut his locker, "Harry, do you maybe wanna hang out this weekend? A fair is coming to town and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me and my friends?" Harry bit his lip, he doesn't like going to crowded places, but he really wants to hang out with Louis. "Sure, sounds fun," he smiled, and Louis smiled at him, "See you tomorrow," he said before walking off, Harry's cheeks were bright red as he shut his locker before leaving the school with Annie by his side.
