My Happy Ending (Larry Stylinson)

Club Promotion

Louis’ POV

‘’Tommo, get outta your thoughts and hurry out of this damned classroom.’’ Zayn said whilst waiting for me. This was supposed to be Maths lessons but the truth is, I don’t even give a shit. Isn’t it kind of funny? Knowing that your teacher was talking the entire yet you don’t even hear a single word. Huh, well it’s odd. ‘’Are ya comin’ or not?’’ Zayn asked with a slight irritated sound in his voice. ‘’Uh—yeah Imma come later.’’ Zayn exhaled and walked off. ‘’You know that everyone practically dash out of the classroom once the bell has rang, right?’’ Miss Collins said with a slight smile ghosting over her lips. I sighed and nodded. She shook her head in disbelief with a slight smile plastered on her face. I grabbed all the things on my desk and pulled them against my chest. I made my way to my locker. I shoved some of the books into it and slammed the locker shut. Then I turned around and I jumped at the sight that Luke was standing right behind me. ‘’Hey Louis, you know how Dylan always throws these parties, right?’’ How can I forget? Everyone gets so crazy there, the deafening music, the sweaty bodies grinding on each other, the loud moans you get from the bedrooms upstairs. ‘’Of course! Who would forget?’’ I said with a small grin spread across my lips. ‘’Well, apparently, he’s inviting everyone in this school this year, not just his friends.’’ I nodded. Which was odd of him, I guess sometimes someone does something that somehow surprises you? He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by an announcement from the PA. ‘’Please note that we will have club promotions in the covered playground at lunch time. Be reminded that everyone of you must join at least one club. That’s the end of my announcement, thank you.’’ After that, the bell rang.

And with that, Luke let out a quick “bye” and sprinted towards another direction. Guess he was late, I already changed into my PE uniform. Can’t be late for gym class though, if anyone is late—even for a brief second after the second bell rings, the crazy ass bitch make everyone change back into our own clothes within 5 minutes then change back into PE uniform in 5 minutes again.

‘’I will be the substitute for Miss Clarke due to her maternity leave. I am Mr. Johnson, let me tell you what I expect from all of you. First, everyone must be on time. Second, no talking in class and third, you must bring all of you’re the things you need for gym lessons, understood?’’ Mr. Johnson said with stern look all written over his face. I could definitely tell that he was a hard-nose. ‘’Okay, now run ten laps.’’ He said and with a blow of the whistle, everyone jogged in the covered playground. This is a private school with the really exceptional policy that we can wear our own clothes in this school. Anyway, how did I land in this posh school? Huh… well long story, somehow I got support from the government and I ended up here. But sometimes it’s hard though, can’t have people coming over to my flat to do projects and stuff, it’s just because everyone here insanely wealthy and I don’t want them to see my place. I bet they’re going to laugh their ass off. This is the best school in this wretched place so I guess it’s fine… it’s a bit challenging for me to catch up with their studies, I’m struggling but I think I can catch up soon.

~The recess after lunch~

Liam’s POV

I somehow found myself in the covered playground without getting lost in this crazily enormous campus. I mean, whoo! This school is actually massive. It’s like endless of hallways and everyone here just seems to know where they are. I often get lost There are six wings for heaven’s sake! How the hell am I suppose to know where I am? Well… I guess I’m still trying to get used to these familiar hallways and try my best to recognize the places but I gotta say, it’s onerous to try-my-best not to get lost here.

“Hey Liam!’’ I turned around to see a girl with light brown hair. Her fringe was tied up in her long, high ponytail, her eyes were green in color. It was not one of those, spooky cold eyes that creeps you out a little, no, it was kind of warm and gives you a cozy feeling inside. She was in her red Cheerleading uniform. I didn’t know her personally so I was quite surprised that she even knew me, after all, I was a nobody at this school. She wore a warm smile on her lips and her eyebrows were slightly pulled together. ‘’Your name is Liam, right? I’m not sure, sorry.’’ I cleared my throat and nodded. ‘’Yeah, I’m Liam, you’re??’’ ‘’Oh! I’m Melissa but people usually calls me Mel.’’ I wanted to say something but I was at a loss of words so I simply nodded. ‘You’re new here! Well, today is club promotion and it’s going to be held at the covered playground. I see that you’ve made your way to here, congratulations!’’ I let out a breathy chuckle and smiled. She linked her arm with mine and started strolling into the covered playground, maybe I grimaced as she started leaning so close to me, resting her head on my shoulder. I didn’t like being… so close with people I don’t really know, I mean I literally just meant her seconds ago. She seemed really nice but… I guess you can say that she’s straight forward?
