"Elliot!!"

I ignore my parents voices and continue sleeping.

"ELLIOT?!"

"Five more minutes?" I mumble.

A textbook slams on my desk, causing me to shoot up from my chair. I feel heat rising to my cheeks as the class giggles at my embarrassment.

"Are you aware that this is the fifth time I have caught you dozing in my class Elliot?" my English teacher Mr. Garfield says.

"Yes Mr. Garfield." I reply sleepily.

He shakes his head and hands me a slip. Great, detention again. My parents aren't going to like this.

I sit in my seat and look at my hands at an attempt to hide my embarrassment.

"Oh and Elliot?" I snap my head up to Mr. Garfield's voice.

"Yeah?" I reply quietly.

"Since you seem to think my class is your 'nap time', then you should be able to help our new student catch up on our studies." he says angrily.

"New student?" I question.

"Yes, if you were paying attention you would know that there is a new student joining our class for the rest of the semester. Mr. Styles could you please stand up?"

I look around the room and spot the 'new student', and form an O with my mouth when I find him. His hair was pushed back naturally, and the ends were curly. His face was well, hot, and don't even get me started about his body.

I snap out of my thoughts and look back at Mr. Garfield.

"Why don't you start by showing him around the school, this being his first period, I'm assuming he doesn't know his way around the school yet. Is that correct Mr. Styles?" Mr. Garfield says turning his attention to the boy.

"Uh, yeah I guess." the boy says carelessly.

"Right, well both of you are excused from my class for the day." Mr. Garfield says.

"Alright, thank you Mr. Garfield." I reply, packing my stuff up.

"Yeah, yeah, on you go." Mr. Garfield says as he shoos us out the door.

I shut the door behind me and turn around to the boy.

"So uh, what's your name? I'd rather not call you Mr. Styles." I say trying to break the ice.

"Harry." he replies.

I stand there playing with my feet, thinking about the limited excuses I haven't used on my parents for my long list of detentions.

"Are we gonna do this shit or are you just going to stand there?"

I look up, shocked.

"Uh right, yeah let's get started." I say as I start walking down the halls.

"Well this is the cafeteria," I say, pointing to the cafeteria, "and this is the gym."

"and this is the-" I start saying but get interrupted by Harry.

"Ok, you don't want to do this, and I clearly don't give a shit about this, so why don't we do something." he says.

"Um, like what?" I ask.

"Ditch" he says in the middle of him taking a drink from the water fountain.

"I uh, I don't know, I've never ditched before."

Harry choked on the water and looked at me, widening his eyes.

"You've never WHAT?!" he asks.

"I've never ditched before." I say quieter than before, looking at my feet.
