Austeled one-shots

School AU (part 2)

Time skip next day.

Henry's Pov

I walked into the school, groaning.
The whispers immediately started as I walked through the halls. But they were.. Different.
They were about him.
I stopped to listen, only to be pushed over by a group of boys.

I landed on my knees, making me wince.
"Move out of the way next time loser!" I heard one of them yell as the others laughed.
I rolled my eyes as they walked away.
"Are you alright?" I heard someone ask.
It was Austin again.
I nodded and he let out a quiet 'good', then holding out a hand to help me up.

I raised an eyebrow at this, getting up by myself. He retracted his hand away, awkwardly apologising.

"What do you want this time?" I asked.
"Well, there's still a few minutes until lessons start. Do you wanna just.. talk?" He asked.
"Fine. But walk and talk. I don't wanna be late to my first lesson." I answered.
"Why would you be late? You have plenty of time." He asked as I started walking.
"It's on the other side of the school." I replied.

"Mrs #####'s room?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"I have her too!" He exclaimed.
"Really? A jock studying coding? I thought you'd just be playing football all day." I joked, turning to face him.
"Football? You mean soccer??" He questioned.
"Same thing dumbass!" I laughed, flicking him in the forehead.
"If you're going to insult me, at least do it properly." He smirked. I rolled my eyes and continued walking.

"Aren't you supposed to be with you jock friends?" I asked in realisation.
"Technically, yes. But they're assholes. They have no personality other than 'I'm BeTtEr ThEn YoU bEcAuSe I'm PoPuLaR'!" He mocked.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Fair enough." I said.

Before I had realised it, I'd already made it to the classroom.
"Made it before the bell. Earliest I've ever been!" He said. I nodded in agreement.
Just then, the bell went off and we walked into the classroom.
