His Favourite Student (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: Big Mistakes

A/N: This chapter is going to be a little confusing because Eleanor's part is second period, Perrie's part is first period and Danielle's part is a bit of the first period and half of second period. But they don't meet until lunch... which in the next chapter, or the one after that. Well, I just spoiled that for you. -_- Sorry!

Anyway, here's the story!

Enjoy!

Eleanor's POV

   Mr.Tomlinson made me sit in the empty seat in the second row. The seat in front of me was also empty, but I never liked sitting in the front. It always felt awkward for me. Since the front seat was empty, it gave me a perfect view of the whiteboard and Mr.Tomlinson's desk, but more importantly, Mr.Tomlinson.

   Anyway, after I awkwardly introduced myself to the class, Mr.Tomlinson continued with whatever he was talking about. I kept my head down as I listened. He was sitting on his desk facing the class, but he was also directly in front of me which made it extremely awkward.

   "Eleanor," I looked up as he said my name. "would you please hand out these worksheets?"

   I slowly got up and walked towards him, but kept my head down, avoiding looking at him. He shuffled the papers in his hands before giving them to me. Our hands brushed against each other and I couldn't help but squeak quietly. Nobody seemed to hear except for Mr.Tomlinson who just chuckled and smiled at him. I gave him a weak smile back, then quickly turned my back to him so I could hand out the papers.

   Most of the students were flipping through their textbooks while others just stared at me. I felt Mr.Tomlinson's eyes staring holes into my back. When I got to Jade's desk, I noticed that she was grinning at me. I gave her a confused look but she just shook her head and mouthed the words, 'I'll tell you later.'

   So I shrugged and continued handing out the papers. When I got to the last student, I turned back to go to my seat. Suddenly I felt my feet trip over something. My arms flailed as I fell forward. I tried grabbing onto something to regain my balance, but somehow ended up grabbing everyone's papers and tossing them in the air.

   "Oops, s-sorry!" I apologized.

   I felt so uncomfortable with most of the class glaring at me, that I took a step back. Big mistake. I slipped on a piece of paper and started flailing my arms again. I somehow ended up from the back of the classroom to the front. I spun around, but ended up falling forward and banging my head against Mr.Tomlinson's desk.

   Things couldn't have been any worse. I looked up just in time to see Mr.Tomlinson's cup of coffee fall. On me. Spoke too soon. I hissed loudly as the hot liquid burnt my skin. My hair was mixed with the sugary drink.

   I was so humiliated, I just wanted to the floor below to swallow me up. Then what I heard next made me burst into tears.

   "Ha ha! What a klutz! I bet she was born with two left feet!" A squeaky, annoying voice in the back said.

   Tears streamed down my cheeks as I heard the rest of the class laugh. Even though I wasn't facing them, I knew that they knew that I was crying. It wasn't my fault that I was sensitive, it's just that nobody really ever hated or insulted me. And besides, I was born that way.

   Suddenly I felt a presence beside me. I turned to see Jade looking at me with concern written on her face. As she helped me up, I noticed her giving death glares to everyone. The laughter died down a bit, but a few students in the back kept laughing.
