Louis'POV

The automatic doors to the school opens and I'm first to enter the building. I walk to my locker and take my science book and music notes out then shut it close with a rattle.

My mind is all over the place and that never happens. What the heck is going on with me? Everything was fine yesterday but when Harry freaking Styles... ergh the boy confuses me. I run my fingers through my quiffed hair that has a small amount of product in and groan silently. I mean, me wanting a kiss. Akiss? Am I craving signs of affection or Harry Styles? I haven't had much sleep last night either adding to the fact I feel like utter poop. Nobody has ever had this affect on me so why is it happening now? When my finals are coming soon. What am I feeling?

The hallway is still deserted but a girl on the opposite wall. From what I can tell, only half her body facing me, she's got raven black hair that reaches the middle of her back, dark brown skin, wearing a simple sky blue dress with black high tops.
Pretty.

She must of felt someone looking at her as she spins around so her gaze is averted to me. I blush and scramble to my next class even though it doesn't start for another 15 minutes. Then me being a complete dumbo collapses on the floor, music notes flying high then scattering everywhere. Wow, Lottie was right, I am embarrassing. I'm such a klutz, I swear.

I pick up my music notes then a soft hand collides with mine. I let go as she hands me the last sheet.

"T-Thanks" I mutter and she smiles a blinding white. "No problem, love" comes her reply. I blush and stand up with my music notes and science textbook close to my chest in a deathly clutch.

"I'm Michelle" she introduces. I guess I have to say my name too. Why am I instructing myself to do something normal? Oh great, now I'm talking to myself. "And you are.." she trails off with a slight smile "Er I'm Louis Tomlinson," I say "I mean Louis, just Louis. I mean, Louis, you don't say the word just" my words tumble out my babbling mouth. She smirks and I stop talking. "Well, Louis-" she begins

"Louis the Tommo Tomlinson!" Niall laughs, jumping behind me and I stumble a bit. Students are filling in.

"I told you not to call me that, Nialler" I complain to him "Oh I'm sorry boobear" he teases, pinching my red cheeks. "Oh! Get off me you leprechaun!" I chuckle. "Oh...and who's this?" Niall slides next to me, referring to the girl standing in front of us. "I am Michelle" she says "Niall" he smiles.

"Oh, sorry. What were you going to say?" I apologise. "Do you maybe want to sit next to me at break today? I'm kind of new here" I notice the badge on her dress, she's in the same year as me. "Yeah, s-sure". She just nods then leaves with a wave of a hand.

"Look who's making friends" Niall chuckles and we both head to the music department, the warning bell going.

We enter the heated room and we sit on the chairs near the back.
