The Marcel Makeover

Chapter 3

OK, chapter 3! I'm in the US at the moment, so I wrote this chapter on the train. Lol I hate trains tbh. ANYWAY. LEGO. It's actually quite long. So be happyyyyyy.

ZAYN POV

"Mr. Malik, you are late, because...?" Ms. Audrey asked me.

"Because I flippin' felt like it, OK?" I snapped back.

The class burst into laughter.

"Quiet! You know that is unacceptable! That'll be detention for you, Mr. Malik." She said, scribbling something down on a pink slip of paper and then handing it to me, with a dirty look.

I took it and sat down.

This was a double English lesson too, great.

Ms. Audrey decided it would be funny to mock me in front of the class.

With her stupid ruler, she pointed at me and said:

"There is a silly, stupid and obnoxious person without a brain at the end of this ruler."

Nice try, but not good enough.

"Which end, miss?" I said, with a smirk on my face.

The whole class started laughing, again.

Ms. Audrey turned around, and started writing on the blackboard, while the class and I chatted. Quite loudly. Except of the geeky freak, Marcel.

Why the heck is he even in this school if nobody likes him? He thinks he is so smart. He isn't though.

"With all this talking, I assume you've finished." Ms. Audrey said, turning her 'round to face us.

"With all this complaining, I assume you're single!" I shouted back at her.

The class found my joke hilarious.

She was going to say something, but the bell rang.

I started gathering my stuff, when Ms. Audrey cleared her throat in front of me.

"Yes, miss? What do you want?" I asked.

"If you haven't noticed, this is a double period. You cannot leave yet." She replied flatly.

"Uh." I groaned, slouching down in my chair.

She left me, with a smile of satisfaction on her face. I swear, I will swipe that smile away one day.

MARCEL POV

How can he be rude to a teacher? It is absolutely ridiculous. You have to have respect for every teacher in school, no matter how different they are from you. He can't just snap at her as if she were another annoying student. This really frustrated me, but I couldn't stand up to him, he's way stronger than me.

The rest of the hour was fine.

Oh, who am I kidding, it was horrendous, Zayn got another detention slip. I laughed when Ms. Audrey gave him the slip.

His eyes flashed with an emotion that I didn't quite like.

I shouldn't have done that. I should not have done that. He's going to kill me after the lesson.

Oh poo.

At the end of the lesson I rushed out of the classroom, only to be cornered by Zayn in an empty corridor.

And he spoke:

"Huh, look who we have 'ere. It's icky Marcel Styles. You've got it bad, Styles. Real bad. You're up for it after school, buddy. I won't be alone. Louis'll be there too."

With those words he left me, terrified because of his threat.
