Opposites // Harry Styles Fanfiction

Prologue

"So we already have the small intestine covered, so do any of you know what the purpose of the large intestine is?"

Nobody raises their hand.

I know the answer, I just hate speaking in front of people. It's like bleeding when you're in the ocean, you're just waiting there not knowing what to do, waiting for a shark to come devour you.

"Devan?"

"Huh?" My head shoots up. I can feel my face burning up already, I know it must be a deep shade of red by now.

"Do you have any idea what the purpose of the large intestine is?"

Giggles fill the room, and I can feel my entire body heating up and I just want to get up and leave the room.

"Well, uh, the um major function of the large intestine is to um absorb water from the indigestible food matter and waste the material out of the body, I guess," I push up my glasses, pulling my sweater sleeves down over my hands and covering my face.

"That's correct, that's basically exactly what I was going to say," My science teacher winks at me and laughs.

"Nerd."

I look back to where the words came from, and the whole room starts to laugh. I don't know whether it's because my face is so red, or because someone just insulted me in front of the whole class. Or maybe even both.

I gaze over the clump of people sitting in the back row, leaning back in their chairs and I can't even find a pencil that they're supposed to have to write down notes with. I find the boy who said it though; smirking and enjoying all of the giggles from all of the girls surrounding him. He slyly smiles and winks at me from all the way across the room.

Him. He's a junior, and I'm unfortunately in most of his classes because I take excelled classes as a sophomore. He's honestly the hottest guy that has ever stepped foot in this tiny town, but by far the biggest asshole I've ever come across. He finds it entertaining to pick on the people in the grades below him, even kids that have never done anything to him, like me. I've never talked to him in my entire life, and I've gone to school with him since I was in preschool and he was in kindergarten. But thinking that he's an asshole is definitely an unpopular opinion, because all of the different girls that he has sex with probably like him, and most of the guys would do anything to be him. However, me? I don't even know him, and I'm happy that I don't.

"That's enough of that, Styles."
