Chapter Four: E

Louis watched as big puffs if smoke left Michael's mouth, the satisfied look on his face as he stared up into the sky. Louis hated the smell, it smelt like his grandfather who smoked around a packet a day, he hated his grandfather therefore he hated the smell that Michael was producing.

Louis looked down at his phone, annoyed that Zayn hadn't arrived yet, it's school mornings like these that Louis wished didn't exist. He wanted to go home already, he had plans. He had just recorded a new song to cover and was in the editing process to upload it to YouTube.

Over the week that he had uploaded his first one The video had accumulated around 12 views, which to be honest disappointed him, jealous of those who got a head start and even more jealous of those who got to do what they love with a bunch of fans whilst he was stuck in the getting fans process.

Louis sighed and looked over at the gates once more hoping Zayn had finally arrived, but instead Harry walked in. He didn't look as cheerful as he did when serving customers in the bakery, his beautiful smile being replaced with a frown which was understandable, it was school after all. Louis watched as he fumbled with his bag strings, looking around the courtyard for his friends.

Then a small smile appeared on his face, walking closer to a brown haired boy, the two of them walking off together. It confused Louis, the fact that this sophomore seemed to have him so intrigued only because of the fact he was stuck there trying to figure out who the bloody boy was.

"Aye Z!" Michael called out and Louis jumped, scared at the sudden loud noise. Looking back towards the gate Zayn appeared, smiling happily and walking speedily towards the two of them.

"Hello" Zayn beamed and pat Louis shoulder.

"Why are so happy?" Louis questioned, Zayn was never this happy on a Monday morning, nobody was ever this happy.

"Perrie and I are talking over Dinner tonight" he grinned excitedly, Michael clapped from beside Louis, the cigarette still in his mouth.

"That's great Zayn! You think the two of you will get back together?" Louis asked hopeful. Perrie and Zayn were absolutely perfect for each other, it was the one thing that he envied for his best friend. He wished one day he could have a relationship as outstanding as theirs.

"Who knows, guess I'll find out" Zayn admitted and laughed nervously. Louis softly pat him in the bag, comforting the obviously anxious boy.

"Hey boys" Ethan grinned and slid his arm around Louis and Michael's shoulder. Niall was behind him on his phone silently, glaring at what he was looking at, "Ignore Niall, his teacher put up his assessment and is fucking mad cause he put actual work into it and got 45%"

"This is why none of us do work man" Michael shrugged, "gets us nowhere"

Niall nodded and placed his phone back in his pocket, the truth was Louis did his work in class, well in the ones he was alone in. He didn't want to fail in life and although he pictured himself in the music industry he knew that there was a large chance he wouldn't end up where he wished he belonged.

"English will be the death of me" Zayn sighed as the two of them walked out of their classroom, week two and Louis already wanted to punch all of his teachers in the face, everyday it seemed as if the teachers had some type of task awaiting for them to do at home.

"I can barely squeeze in any time to do all the tasks we are being set, I'm so bloody stressed" Louis sighed and turned the corner into the corridor of lockers.
