Optical [h.s fanfiction]

Chapter 10: Love or Fear?

Thursday. Today was it. The day where Niall starts his project. How was I supposed to tell him?

Hey, Niall ya know that my co-star almost raped me at a party recently? Fuck. I couldn't ruin this project for Niall. Our grades depended on these projects. I was just going to have to suck it up and deal with it. Or at least try.

I stood in front of the mirror that was placed above the single sink that occupied Jordan and I's bathroom. Racking my hands through my hair, I put it up in a messy bun and began my morning routine.

I then started to get ready for my first class of the day which was English. Stepping over the random articles of clothing and papers I made it to my closet and began my search. However, an exaggerated yawn halted my process.

"Why do always sound like an injured dinosaur when you wake up?" I laughed and turned towards J.

"It's one of the mysteries of the world" Jordan said while rising from her laying down position.

I chuckled and continued to look for an appropriate outfit for today. My hands passed a black romper that was on one of my hangers. Going back I took out the romper and took a second look. It was a little risque, but I wanted to look nice today.

I immediately began to strip down and put on the romper. Walking towards the mirror that hung on the back of the door I gave a glance at my appearance. The intense low v cut of the romper complimented the look that I was going for today.

After 30 minutes of braiding hair and applying makeup, Jordan and I were ready to head out. I did a messy fishtail braid and simple makeup. My makeup consisted of some light brown eye shadow to compliment my blue eyes and brown eyeliner to add a smoky effect as well as some mascara.

"Ready?" Jordan asked as she grabbed both of our bags.

"Yep" I said while tying my sandals that laced up my ankles.

Walking into English I was almost convinced that I was late, but looking around I noticed that multiple people were still missing. I collected my thoughts as I took my seat. Usually I would want English to go by fast, but I was dreading for what was to come throughout the day.

Mr. Cunningham entered the class with a permanent frown planted on his face. I actually felt bad for the guy. He probably hasn't been laid for years.

Not like you've gotten any action recently

My mind reminded me. Brushing the thoughts aside I began to take further notes on the essay that we talked about Tuesday. I then took a mental note to buy the book For the Time Being on amazon which was the text that my class was going to be analyzing.

Two hours had passed too quickly as Mr. Cunningham released us from his class. Gathering all my things I walked down the small stair way and towards the exit.

"Bea!" An excited Niall was looking directing at me.

"I was just about to walk to our spot" I said moving a loose hair from my face.

"No need. Coffee?" He handed me a hot cup.

"What is all this for?" I said referring to his good mood and the coffee.

"It's a thank you for being in my project. Don't worry you will be receiving more than just coffee" He then put his hand on the small of my back as we began to walk to 'our spot'.

"Well thank you for this thank you" I laughed.

"You are very welcome Beatriz Wolfe. Just don't forget about meeting me for starting my project."
