His Favourite Student (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Stand Up, Reach Out, Tell Someone

A/N: I feel like I'm using the word, 'chuckle' too much. I don't think every grown man chuckles at every little thing... Even if the dude is a pedophile... Also, there's a bit of Narry in this chapter. Just a warning... in case you're not into that type of thing... Um... enjoy!

Eleanor's POV

   "No." I said firmly,

   "Why not?" Jade whined.

   "Jade, nothing happened! He just wanted to tell me how horrible my acting was." I said sarcastically.

   Jade gave me a skeptical look and continued poking me. Let's rewind to five minutes back. After the little chat with Mr.Tomlinson, Jade has been poking me ever since I left the classroom. We were currently on our way to my locker to drop off my books, but Jade insisted that something happened because she said that my face was red. Yes, I was blushing, and no, that is not a good thing.

   "If you have a crush on him, then that's fine!" Jade said casually, I almost choked on my spit.

   "What?!" I shouted, earning startled looks from passing students. "I do not!" I lowered my voice.

   "You fancy him!" Jade whispered excitedly, "It's okay if you do, I mean it's just a crush. Besides, my friend, Perrie, she fancies her teacher too."

   "Good to know I'm not the only one." I rolled my eyes.

   "So you do?!"

   "No! I was being sarcastic!" I said.

   We arrived at my locker, once we were done we went to Jade's then started making our way towards the cafeteria on the main floor. The whole time, Jade wouldn't stop talking about me and Mr. Tomlinson. Okay, he's fit, but that doesn't mean I like him... right?

   "... I mean why wouldn't he? Oh, and he loves carrots, keep that in mind! He also-... Are you even listening to me?" Jade waved a hand in front of my face. I blinked a few times then looked at her. "Geez, it's no wonder you got in trouble, you zone out too much!"

   I blushed, then playfully punched her arm. We were about to go into the cafeteria when suddenly, a girl with a black beanie, and dark red hair ran up to us and grabbed Jade's arm.

   "Jesy? What are you-"

   "Jade, our project is due tomorrow!"

   "What?! But, why?!" Jade asked panicked,

   "Leigh-Anne told me that Miley pissed off Mr. Styles, so he decided to take it out on us! Our project is due by the end of the day tomorrow. We have to hand it in before he leaves!" The girl, Jesy, glanced at me for a moment before turning back to Jade. "We have to go, like now!"

   "Shit." Jade cursed under her breath. She turned to me with an apologetic look on her face. "Hey Eleanor, I'm sorry but I kinda have to go..."

   I gave her a weak smile, then shook my head. "It's fine, if it's that important to you, then I think you should go."

   Jade grinned, then hugged me before she ran off with the other girl, Jesy. I sighed, then spared a glance at the open cafeteria doors. It was packed with loud, noisy students. Some of them were chatting while eating, but the majority of them were doing all types of artsy things. Some students were dancing, singing, acting, and blah, blah, blah. Now I get why mum was so excited about this school. But I don't get why I'm here...

   As I was about to walk in, I heard some shouting in the corridor behind me. I turned a corner to find a group of people huddling around in a circle.
