I stood frozen in front of the door to my second class with my hand rested on the doorknob. To be honest, I'm afraid to walk in and get bombarded with laughter. That's what always happened to me.

After standing there for about 15 minutes, I put my brave face on and took in a deep breath. I got this! I twist the cold silver metal and push the door open. Once I complete my entrance, everyone discontinues their conversations and turn to me. I stand within the silence and stare back, it's almost like... they've never seen me before.

Like I said before, I hate being the center of attention.

"Hi?" I wave nervously wanting this silence to suffice. Almost immediately after I spoke, questions erupt from every student. Most being "are you okay?" And "what happened?" It feels really good to see that these students care about someone who was never cared about in the past.

"I'm okay guys," I answer politely. My teacher comes up next to me and gives my shoulder a small pat.

"Everyone, you may speak to Louis about this later. But we're all glad to see you're ok." He once again pats my shoulder giving me a sense of kindness. I then take my seat next to my lovely best lad.

"Hey bud, why aren't you at home?" He whispers sternly.

"Huh, well... I begged my mum to let me continue with school, so that's what I'm doing Mr. Niall." I return a wide sinister smile and get a response of a disappointed head shake. Why would he be disappointed? I'm a good student.

"I know you're mad at me Louis, but I'll explain later." He hands me the lime green mechanical pencil he had given to me earlier. I accept the offer and take it out of his hand with glee.

School has come to an end and I'm so ready to speak with Niall. I've been thinking on this the whole day.

"Niall, come on let's go to my locker so I can get the key to the room." I exaggerate a sigh as I turn the corner to meet my locker.

"I cancelled the group cause I didn't think you were going to be here." And that phrase kinda made me even more angry than I was before. He said it like it didn't mean anything, like I would be completely fine with this nonsense!

"Okay... Are you serious? Why would you do that without my knowledge Niall?" I stare at him with frustration, and in the process, I feel my face heat up.

"I thought you were gonna leave after that mental break down!" Niall argues.

"You had all day to tell me though! What? You were too lazy to speak simple words?!" I rotate my combination into my locker forcefully and slam my locker open with a huge BANG. I'm sure my locker door made some dents in the one beside it; however, the freighting noise was loud enough to stop a conversation a mile from here.

"Look Louis, you need to calm down! I just forgot!" Niall complains. He seems almost as frustrated as me. I'm not frustrated at this point I'm just really angry.

"Yeah... a sorry would be great Niall!" I respond aggressively. I snatch the key out my locker and slam my locker door shut.

"Okay, I was getting there! Sorry Louis! God, can you please chill out?!" He laughs.

"You know what, we'll continue this when we get settled into the room. Thank you." I roll my eyes walking down the hallway that leads me to the room. I huff loudly as I push the key into it's personal hole. I have trouble unlocking the door because firstly I can't focus and secondly I'm all frazzled.
