Louis P.O.V.

I put my history books in my locker and slammed the door. Ugh...history is so boring. I was still mad at the teacher for asking me that stupid question.

“What year did Queen Elizabeth the second’s reign start, Mr. Tomlinson?”

Pfft!! As if I would know that. I mean who would right? History is stupid. Who cares about the wars that happened a billion years ago…or what kind of clothes did they wear…or how much taxes did the peasants used to pay…or the start of Queen Liz’s reign?? She’s probably dead now anyway.

Yeah yeah I know she’s not dead yet! I’m not that stupid thanks for your concern. But it’s not like she will be for much longer am I right? Yeah, of course I am.

I grabbed my bag from the floor on threw it over my shoulder as I started walking too my next lesson. I flinched in fright as I felt a poke on my right hip. I turned my head to the side to look who did that and I saw a ginger-headed boy. I sighed in relief as I realized who it was.

“Hello, Ed” I said rolling my eyes at childishness of this kid.

Okaaayy…so I may not be I’m the most mature 18 year-old that exists right now. But I swear, this kid, he doesn’t know what the word ‘mature’ means.

“Hello, Louis”, Ed said smiling from ear to ear. See what I mean?

“What are you all giddy about?” I said pretending to be interested…and maybe a bit curious.

From the day that Ed came up to me and poured out his creepy habits of stalking me, we became friends. We’re not besties cause he’s still weird in my eyes. But you know, he’s a really nice lad and he seems harmless unlike all the other jerks at this hell-hole of a school…most of them anyway.

Plus he understands how I feel and I understand what he goes through since you know, we’re both gays. It’s a good friendship. And it’s better than not having anyone. At least I have someone I can talk to…except Har…uis, Louis…Lo…

“ouis…LOUIS”

I was snapped out of my thoughts with a loud thump in my ears.

“WHAT THE HELL ED? You just messed up my hearing” I said snapped at Ed while shutting my ears out to die out the noise it just experienced. My poor ear.

“well it’s not like you were listening to what I was saying anyway.” He said annoyed that he was just talking to himself. “what were you thinking about anyway?” he blurted curiously.  “Someone special eh eh?”  while he nudged me with his elbow.

Was I that obvious? But I couldn’t have zoned out for that long huh? IM NOT DROOLING AM I? All these thoughts passed through my mind while I brought my hand up to my lips and checked if there was any drool dripping. Luckily, there wasn’t.

Well a guy has to check right? Or me for that matter.

“LOUIS!”

“OW, WHAT?!?!”

“you’re doing it again”

I stared straight with wide open eyes. Seriously was Harry affecting me this much?

“Seriously Louis stop, I’m trying to have a conversation with you. what’s up with you man?” Ed asked, concern filled his eyes.

“It's not important” I muttered under my breath because well Harry is damn important to me.

“he obviously is…” Ed said without second thought. He looked almost proud that he said it.

I turned my head to him as reality hit me on what he said to me. What’s with him ?  “what did you just say?”

“A-HA!” he said with a grin. “ so there IS someone you are thinking about”

"It's not important” I said to him while we continued walking

“Who is he? Does he go to this school?” excitement was pouring out of him and he was all over the place.

“’s not your business”

Why was he so interested in knowing what I was thinking about anyway?

“Oh come one Louis. Tell me..tell me….TELL ME”. He was now tugging on my shirt

“Not now Ed. We have class.”

“After class?”

“No!”

“Tonight?”

“No!”

“Tomorrow?”

“No Ed”

“How about…”

And he went on and on and on and on…

We went in the classroom together. The weird looks and whispers didn’t stop following us until the teacher entered the classroom and silenced everyone. I was already sleeping after 10 minutes of the lesson. I felt my eyes heavily closing and my head nodding forward as I tried to stay awake as much as possible.

I rested my head on my hand and my eyes closed instantly. I felt head heavy on neck and I was nodding forward again unknowingly. Before I could open my eyes and stop myself, I felt myself lean down and 1…2…3...

BANG!

I felt my head against the hard wooden table but for some reason I didn’t have the energy to get up or open my eyes. It was pitch dark and I could hear gasps all over the room. I heard someone call my name but it sounded like it was coming from a long distance. I felt two hands shaking me and trying to wake me up but I couldn’t.

Suddenly everything felt numb and I didn’t hear any voices or feel anything at all.
