(Still Louis’ POV)

“And our last problem is… 2x-(x-1/2) +2y+(y-3/4) =0” Louis wrote in the board.

Just like a cue his class fell onto silence when they look up at the equation written on the board, he admit that this problem was more advanced than the previous questions, that’s why he saved it for last. But much to his surprise Zayn raises his hand. Louis instantly feels eager to find out if he can answer the problem. Without a second thought he immediately called Zayn to stand up and answer the problem on the board in front of the class.

“Okay Zayn, the board is yours” Louis gave him a challenging look.

“Yes Sir” he half smiled

Zayn get up from his sit, get the marker and started answering, all of his students are all surprised, and maybe just like him they don’t expect that a good looking guy like him can answer the problem. He felt guilty from judging him.

“I’m done” Zayn announces, turn around so his facing his classmates now waiting Louis to checked his neatly written answer.

‘Wow’ Louis thought. He got the correct answer… but it’s not the only reason why Louis was amazed, it’s the way Zayn solved the problem… ‘Shortcut huh’. Smartass!

“Wow” Louis claps his hand. “I think we found a new math geek here aside from Harry, good job Zayn you can go back to your sit now” he said with awe to his voice. Zany just shrugs and walks to his chair.

He glances again at the board at how Zayn came up to a short cut yet complicated way to get his final answer. He thinks even Harry can’t do it, Harry is the best amongst his classes, if there’s a contest outside the campus their representative was always been him together with the other math geek in their school, now… he thinks Zayn can contribute a lot to the math department. Interesting.

He looks at Zayn and he smirks at him. He smiled back. Now he looks like the guy from the cafeteria a while ago. Full of confidence.

“Okay class. Let’s call it a day” he announces after clearing the board. He walks out at the room and went to their office.

Louis sighed after packing all his things and went outside the academy to find his car at the parking area. He feels sad instantly after starting the engine and drove to his flat. For Louis, it’s the worst part of his day, going home, anyway can he call it a home when his alone? NO. He’s been living alone for almost five years now after his parents found out that he is gay or rather more appropriate to say when he admitted it to them but of course like a cliché scene in the movie his parents didn’t like it, they didn’t tolerate the idea, well… what can he do, he’s expecting that reaction from them, being a religious couple they hate the idea of him being gay but what he didn’t expect them to do? Was kick him out of their life! Pathetic! He doesn’t have any choice, he used his small savings to find a temporary shelter and look for a job, he stopped from studying until he saved enough money to pay for his tuition fees and own bills. It’s the hardest point of his life. He sacrifices a lot. He worked hard day and night at the bakery wanting to have enough money immediately to pursue his education again. All of this the things he owned now was a product of his hard work and determination. His flat, his car, his profession, that’s why he love it so much and he will never ever gave up teaching no matter what happened, it’s his life now.

After a long 20 minutes ride from the academy to his flat finally Louis arrived. It’s a very long day yet he didn’t feel any signs of tiredness, maybe because of the fact that he loves teaching so much. And the fact that Zayn gave him a lot of strange feelings; he can’t help it but smile when he remember their encounter at the cafeteria and in his class. Surprisingly Zayn is one of his students. And he’s not just good looking but very smart too.

He is siting now to his couch and flipping the remote control trying to find a good show but much to his dismay there’s no show that catches his attention. After giving up from pressing the remote to find a good channel and settling to a rerun of some boring reality show his phone went off and distracted him from his concentration from watching. He stared at his phone first and notices that the number of the caller was not registered to his phonebook before answering.

“uh…hello? Who are they?” he ask after pressing the green button. No answer, but he can hear the heavy breathing coming from the other line, it seems whoever the person is, he’s hesitating.

Finally the caller answer answered him,… and he almost drop his phone upon hearing a very familiar voice from the other line, yes, no doubt who’s the caller.

“Uhm…h-hello L-Louis” comes with a low and stuttering voice…

 Authors note:
