Chapter 24

That Boy

Maria's POV

'Louis.' I whispered. But obviously, it was quite loud. I knew him! Okay... so I only know his name, but still..

I looked around at the four boys. Their faces held shock and worry. Nobody met eye contact as they suddenly realized that the floor was very interesting.

'Tomlinson, take your seat.' Mr Jones said in a dreary tone.

The boy, I mean, Louis sauntered his way past me and sat down at an unoccupied seat. It was then when I noticed his black eye. For a brief second, I wondered how he would have got that.

Liam's POV

Panic kicked into all of our brains as Maria uttered two syllables. Her focus remained on the boy that was walking past her. I wondered if that meant she remembered him? Did she remember everything? Did she remember us? My gaze dropped to the floor.

Mr Jones went on with the register as Freya Wyatt answered her name last. Mr Jones commanded us to 'talk amongst ourselves'.

'So who is he?' Maria broke our awkward silence. I mentally tried to tell all the boys to play it cool.

'Who do you think it is?' Niall cautiously asked, putting a little emphasise on the 'you'. I thanked the lord for making Niall keep it even as we anticipated Maria's answer.

'I remember his name is Louis. But I don't know who he is or remember anything else.' I watched the boys as the frown lines decreased on their heads and I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding.

'Yeah that's Louis.' I said to her. She ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.

'And...' She wasn't backing out.

'His last name is Tomlinson.' Zayn said, a bit stupidly.

'Well he is the first person I remember, so do I know him? Or are we friends?'

'No. No you are not.' Before any one of us even opened their mouths to speak, Harry spoke out in a cold and deadly voice.

'Oh.'

Cue the awkward silence.

'Oh fuck off you fag. Why don't you go and run off to your mummy so you can finally get some attention.' A very familiar voice said from the other end of the classroom. I peered behind Maria's shoulder to see Fred and Louis engage in a 'conversation'.

Louis was riled up and was screaming at Fred's face. Fred looked scared but kept standing up. Nobody was getting physical, but if nobody intervened, one of them would end up in hospital.

'TOMLINSON! RICHARDS! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING! SIT DOWN OR YOU BOTH WILL BE SENT TO THE PRINCIPLES OFFICE! AND I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU AREN'T AT LEAST SUSPENDED, THAN MY NAME IS NOT LUCAS JONES!'
