Sometimes, thinking that One Direction goes to my school is pretty cool. Most times, I want to puke.
My name is Lyla James and I'm 17 years old. I go to the East High School for Talented Students. My art is playing violin, and I can say I'm pretty damn good at it.
After walking into Economics, Niall and Louis both filed in after us. The teacher came in right as the bell rang and pulled out his clipboard.
"Class we have a new seating chart," Mr. Yuri announced. The whole class, including me, groaned. I finally got to sit next to Heather,and now we have a new seating chart.
"Lyla! You're next to Louis," I groan and sit down in my spot. Heather sits behind me, Niall was next to her. Fan-fucking-tastic. I pull out my papers and start taking notes as soon as the teacher was done with seats.
"Hey Lyla," Louis whispers, I look over to find his piercing blue eyes staring at me, my heart flips a bit, but why? "Do you have number 3?" He asked me. I snap back into life and look at my own sheet.
"Yeah, here," I slide my paper over and let him copy my answer.
"Lyla! Louis! Do you not understand the no-copying policy? Detention after school! Both of you." Mr. Yuri states and turns back around to the lecture. A couple other students laughed, but most looked at me with looks of jealousy. I look over and glare at Louis, but he just smirked and looked away. I felt Heather kick the back of my chair. Oh shit! I have to go with her to practice for our violin-singing duet after school! We have a competition tonight.
As soon as class ended I walked up to Mr. Yuri's desk to talk to him.
"Mr. Yuri, I really can't do detention after school today, I have to rehearse." I stated. Mr. Yuri didn't even look up from his papers.
"Miss James, you understand the no-copying rule really well. Plus, you're one of my best students! I'm sorry, but I can't let you go."
"I stole the paper from her." A voice near the back of the room stated. Mr. Yuri and I both look and see Louis standing at the door. "Lyla wouldn't let me copy the answer so I stole the paper from her. It was completely my fault." Louis explained. I looked at him with wide and confused eyes. Why was he covering for me?
"Alright, seeing that Mr. Tomlinson confessed the truth, you're free to go Lyla." Mr, Yuri told me and looked back down at his papers.
"Thank you!" I hurried, grabbed my stuff, and ran out the door. Louis was walking in front of me and entered gym, which was Heather's next class. Right before he walked in he turned around and winked at me. What the fuck? I heard the 3 minute warning bell ring and I was still far from my class. Shit I'm going to be late!
I walked into class 2 minutes after the bell rang for class. Everyone looked up from their seats and stared at me as I walked to my seat.
"Lyla, why were you late?" Ms. Granger asked me as I sat down.
"I uh.." I couldn't think of anything. I can't just say I was talking to Mr. Yuri about getting out of detention, how bad would that sound?
"She was with me," I looked up and saw Louis standing at the doorway. Did he follow me here? What the hell does he want from me?
"Oh, okay thank you Mr. Tomlinson." Ms. Granger nodded, no further questions asked. Girls swooned as he left, and then stared at me with hate in their eyes.
Great day.
