Masks Off Identities Out

Chapter Eight

 Mr. Shaw was in the middle of a lecture when Louis was looking out the window picking out the details of the outside world. "Mr. Tomlinson." Mr. Shaw raised his voice. Louis was snapped out of his trance and back into his right mind. "Please leave my classroom." Mr. Shaw asked, "Sir, I was just observing the outside, like you told us yesterday." 

   "Well, you can do it now while you are out of my classroom, now please leave." Louis started packing his things when a low raspy voice spoke out. "You can't kick him out, what else would you expect of him when all you do is drone on and on and on about nothing!" Louis turned around and he wasn't surprised when he saw Harry defending him. "Mr. Styles you can join him in the outside world." Mr. Shaw turned around and continued on with his lecture. Harry and Louis walked out of the classroom together and made their way to the courtyard. "Thanks Harry but you really didn't have to defend me. It was my fault." Harry put his backpack on the floor and sat on the grassy part of the courtyard. "He embarrassed you Lou, he had no right to do that. I'm pissed that the other three didn't come storming behind us."

    "You two ditching?" Eleanor said from behind both of the two boys. Harry turned his head around and looked up at her. "Kicked out. What do you want?" Eleanor sat beside Louis  and threw her purse next to Harry and sat crissed-crossed. "I don't want anything Styles, is it bad to make friends?" Eleanor winked at Louis and gave Harry and cheeky grin. "With Louis it is." Eleanor rolled her eyes and leaned into Louis ear and whispered "He's over protective over prized possessions, welcome to the land of misfits." Louis looked at Eleanor confused and looked at Harry who was also confused. "What do you mean by that?" 

    "Think Louis, you're one of them now, their group, land of misfits, outcasts, the odd ones out." Eleanor grabbed her bag and left. "What was that all about?" Harry asked. Little did Harry know that Louis thought the exact same thing. Once the bell rang, Harry and Louis stood up and made their way to Zayn who was currently talking to Liam. "Thanks for backing us up dickheads, we appreciate it." 

    "Not worth the grade." Liam replied

    "Whatever."

     "You have to stop with the attitude Styles, it's getting old."

      "Whatever."

     Then they were interrupted by someone coming into their little circle. "Nick Grimshaw." Harry muttered under his breath. "Harry Styles! Nice to see you again old friend. How's life been for you?" Nick smiled at Louis and winked at him. "We were never friends Grim. Get outta here." 

    "I actually came here to talk to Zayn, considering we have to finish where we left off." Zayn looked at all of the boys, it was obvious to them that he wanted them to leave. So that's exactly what they did

    "I know it was you."

     "You don't know anything."

    "I saw you the night of the fire. You told him about Eleanor and I."

    "I didn't even know Eleanor was there, you brought that upon yourself."

    "I will get you back." 

    "Try me."

    "I'll start off with Harry's new toy."

    "Don't touch Louis."

     "It's hard not to with a body like his."

       "Stop it."

       "Make me." Nick growled. He pushed Zayn to the side and left. Zayn stood there with the other boys watching him from a distance. Zayn slowly walked back to them and sighed. "We need to know who ratted on him, the ending results don't look good for us or Louis." 

    "Louis is now part of us." Harry said while pulling Louis close to his side. "He's a part of everything, and he needs to know everything."
