Burning Desires

Ch. 3: One Life

(A/N: Hey guys! I love this book so much already! Haha. So, so far Louis and Avery came to school for their first day of senior year and met Harry who can't pronounce Louis' name to save his life.

Also they met Liam and Louis is already getting on his nerves because he has that rebel attitude. Haha so there you go, I figured I catch ya up from the last two chapters and ya! Here ya go!

Sea ya guys in bits! :F)

Yeah, you took your shot and didn't miss it

Ain't nothing more attractive than a mission

Avery goes into the classroom sighing in relief that Mr. Payne gave her a warning, she hates getting into trouble at school. She looks around the classroom to see who she can sit beside.

She spots an empty seat beside Alex who's sitting in the front of the Smartboard. She smirks when Alex catches her stare and playfully rolls her eyes at Avery with a huff.

She laughs at Alex and holds onto her bookbag strap and quickly walks over to the desk. "Hey Alex how was your summer?"

She sits down propping the bookbag against the shiny reflective leg of the desk.

"It was good Avery," she rolls her eyes playfully. Avery and Alex always had this pretend hate each other relationship well Alex does whereas Avery loves to annoy her.

"How was your summer?" Avery nods as to say it was good. Alex nods and gives Avery a mischievous grin. "So Louis walked you to class?"

Now it's Avery turn to roll her eyes because she knows where this is heading. Alex is the prime reason why everyone thinks that her and Louis date.

"Yes Alex, he walked me to class but we don't date. We're just friends."

Alex snorts at her, "Avery stop denying your man. Why are you so ashamed of the white boy?" Avery sighs in frustration.

"This is has been going on since last year and you need to cut it out," Alex continues to no avail. Avery just shakes her head with a laugh.

"Okay Alex whatever you say." These are the times when Avery wants to scream that how could she possibly date Louis when he's gay but she knows Louis would never forgive her and she can't hurt him like that.

"By the way, I heard you got a new man," she winks at Alex and looks over at the door to see Mr. Payne still holding it open. Is he talking to Louis?

"That's grown folks business so don't worry about it," she laughs at Alex's words with an eyeroll. Her head snaps from her and Alex's conversation to the door when she hears it close.

Liam pulls the stool by the door that was a prop to hold the door open and nervously swings it around in his big hands.

He clears his throat to boom his voice so he can bring the constant noise of chit chatter to a stop. "Good morning everyone, I'm Mr. Payne and welcome to Pre-Calculus!"

Avery begins to get giddy in her seat because she knows that she's going to do great in this class. "Now, I want you guys to know that this class is not the easiest of classes and can get pretty intense."

He stops, waiting to hear the chorus of groans fill the air. When it stops, he continues. "This is the most important class that you'll ever have so please don't miss a day or you will be left behind."

He eyes Avery for a split second and continues to scan around the classroom. She gulps because was he directing his words to her? She's only been late once for crying out loud!
