Brooklyn || l.t.

Chapter 1 || Coffee and Cigarettes

I'm trying a Louis fan fic again :)

Hope you enjoy!

----------------------------------------------

"You're such a spoiled brat," Louis said to me. He's been telling me this ever since we met freshman year. He was the new kid from Doncaster, and quickly made friends with his charming personality. His looks got him all the girls in a matter of seconds.

When we met, we were good friends at first. We talked every now and then, until a nasty rumor ruined our friendship. You see, Louis had a major crush on me, and I liked him too. But then someone made up a rumor saying I was hooking up with his best friend. I told him I didn't, but he wasn't buying it. And innocent little me became his worst enemy.

He's been picking on me ever since that day, calling me a whore, a spoiled brat, a bitch, you name it, he's probably called me that already. It hurts a lot, but I hide my feelings quite well from him.

"For the last time Louis, I am not a spoiled brat," I said calmly.

He scoffed. "Whatever, you're still a whore."

I sighed and walked away from him. I didn't want to waste my breathe arguing with him, and plus, I have a life. When I arrived to art class, I went to my seat that was in the back of the room, next to the window. I've always been sitting here and Ms. Kellin, my art teacher, hasn't said a word about it. She's always been my favorite teacher, and I'm considered as one of her favorite students.

"Senior year is almost over for you Brooklyn! Winter break is around the corner," Ms. Kellin said to me.

"All I have to do is ace my exams and I'm free! Well for about 2 weeks." She chuckled at my response and returned back to her desk.

Just then, Louis walked in. I heard him say goodbye to his friends and he flashed Ms. Kellin a smile. He sat in his seat and turned to mouth something to me. "Bitch" was the word he made out with his mouth. I rolled my eyes and payed attention to the lesson Ms. Kellin was giving us.

"Now I know exams are coming and all-" the class started to groan, cutting her off. "I'm not finished! Anyway as I was saying, for your exam, I'm changing it up a bit. I've decided to give you a project to do instead of a test. This sheet up paper has everything you need too know about what to do, and I'll also be assigning you a partner."

She continued to call out who would be working with whom, and I noticed she hasn't called my name yet. Nor Louis'...

"And last but not least, Brooklyn and Louis!"

My worst nightmare just came true. I have to work with this bastard until winter break. 2 weeks with this guy, I'd rather have someone shoot me in the foot right now.

"Now everyone go to your partner and start talking about the project," Ms. Kellin said to us. Great. I'm really tempted to jump out this window right now. I'm on the 2nd story so I'll probably have a few broken bones, but it'll be worth it.

"Well hey partner!" his annoying voice rang in my ears. He placed his arm around me and I swatted it away.

"Don't touch me Tomlinson," I said harshly.

"Easy there Jones!" he said while putting his arms up in defense.

I scoffed and started reading the paper we got. We had to do some type of massive painting representing "winter love." And I wasn't kidding about the massive part, the canvas she wanted us to use was a 18 x 24 canvas. I don't think I can handle that.

"I have an idea! What about a boy and a girl that are at a coffee shop and there's this coffee between them and the smoke coming off of it is in the shape of a heart. Does that sound okay?" I asked him.
