"-and you already know where the gym is." I smiled as we finished the tour.

"Yes, thank you Niall." He nodded.

"I have to uh, get my bag before class." I looked to the floor.

"Right. Yeah, c'mon." He lead me to his office.

"Mr. Payne?"

"Yes Niall?"

"What did you mean when you said 'other things'? When you were talking to Ms. K."

"Oh, uh, I asked he a few questions; and she gave me a few answers."

"What questions? Were they about me? You know you could have just asked me."

"There was um, one question she didn't know the answer to."

"What was it?"

"Doesn't matter." He blushed.

"Alright," I said as I picked my bag, "I have to go to chem now."

"Oh. I'll walk you."

"You don't hav-"

"I know. But I want to." He grabbed my hand and pulled me in the direction of the chemistry block.

"You ass!" Harry mock-yelled at me when I sat down at the bench.

"What did I do?"

"Nothing! That's  the thing. You left me with the wicked witch of the west, and went off with your soon to be husband."

"What's so bad about that?"

"She was interrogating me; Niall this; Niall that; Mr. Payne this; Mr. Payne that; couple this; couple that; why this why that; blah blah blah..."

I punched his arm, "Shut up. She did not."

"She did! There was no dancing today!"

"What'd you say?"

"I answered all he questions with, 'I don't know'. Then she asked why Mr. Payne doesn't like her, and I told her it's because he's gay and you two are married."

"Harry!"

"What? She didn't believe me. She just sent me to the office, and I had to sit there for the rest of the period."
