Finally Falling

Chapter 39

Louis' POV

~~~~~~~~~~

I nibbled on the eraser on my pencil, trying to figure out the next line. Song writing was harder then I thought. Come on pencil make words..

" Louis?"

I quickly looked up from my notebook and stared at the board.

" What does x equal Tomlinson?" Mr. Stably said as he walked over to my desk. I looked up at him and he looked right down at me with a look of annoyance.

" Well?"

I leant over to the side to look at the equation on the board.

" No solution." I say loud enough for him to hear.

" Good, now I need you to start showing participation." He says as he continues teaching the class. I slouch in my chair and just stare at the clock. I have to much shit going on in my life to be worried about Algebra. I was already good at math anyway. After a few minutes the bell rang so I quickly gathered all my stuff and made my way to 3rd period.

" Lou wait up!"

I stopped and turned to see Liam running in my direction, instantly smiling when he finally caught up.

" So, I heard you and Marcel split." Liam says as he chews on his gum.

" And how do you know that?" I reply as I put out my hand. Liam groaned as he reached into his pocket to grab me a piece of gum.

" Sharing is caring." I smirk as I pop the minty piece of gum into my mouth.

" So what happened?"

The bell rang and I quickly slipped into the classroom. Don't get me wrong, Liam is one of my best friends but I just didn't feel like telling everybody about it.

Marcel's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~

" Marcel you look fine come out of your room. You've already missed your first two classes." Gemma said from outside my room.

Today has been a disaster so far. I couldn't sleep last night due to the overwhelming thoughts of my blue eyed ex so when I did wake up I was late. When I went into the bathroom to take a shower my soap slipped all the way over to the sink, making me have to walk across the bathroom butt naked. I was freezing. And to top it all off, I ran out of hair gel.

I quickly grabbed a random shirt, jeans and a pair of converse and made my way into Gemmas car.

" Don't say anything alright? Just drive." I say as I sense her eyes staring me down. She cleared her throat and started up the car.

*~*~*~*~*

" Bye Gem." I wave as I brush my curls out of my face. I made my way into the school because I was just in time to make it to 3rd period. As I walked down the halls I noticed people whispering and staring at me. Once I got to my locker, a random girl came up to me.

" Hey, are you new here?" the blonde giggled as she twirled her hair between her fingers.

" Um no..." I reply as I shut my locker.

" Oh well maybe you'd like to sit with us at lunch? The girls and I would really like to..." she placed her hand on my bicep and lightly squeezed," Get to know you better."

" I think I'll pass." I pulled my arm away and walked away from her. Ok, what the hell was that. Those girls have never talked to me before. Throughout the whole walk three girls have come up to me, asking me if I wanted to hang out. The thing just made me feel uncomfortable. As I walked into the class, I took a seat in the back to avoid attention.

" Alright class, please start you warm up as I do attendance."

I grabbed my notebook and put my head down because I honestly didn't feel like working today.

"Sarah...Michael...Jeremy...Sidney....Nicole..Marcel? Is Marcel here?" Ms. Stabile asked as she looked up from her computer.

" Here..." I say quietly, raising my hand so everybody could see.

" Damn he looks hot.." I hear someone say and my cheeks go red. I was only used to Louis saying things like that. Throughout the whole class period, people kept turning around to look at me and it was difficult to concentrate. There was this one girl that was next to me and she was literally drooling as if I was a piece of red velvet cake. So when the bell rang I was the first one out.

I was practically running to my next class because I didn't want to get stopped by her of all people. I quickly took a glance behind me and suddenly crashed into someone, causing my glasses to fall off my face and my butt to collide with the tile floor. I squinted my eyes and began searching for my glasses and it made me feel like I was Velma from Scooby Doo.

" Here." a male voice said and I was handed my glasses. Now that I could see, I looked up at a boy that didn't really look familiar. He had dark brown hair that was quiffed up and was curly and he had hazel green eyes that were staring right back at me. I quickly looked down and noticed that when we collided, all his papers flew everywhere so I decided to help.

" You don't have to help I got it."

" No it's fine, I mean you did help me find my glasses." I reply with a small smile as I handed him a stack of the rest of the papers. We both stood up and smiled at each other.

" Thanks."

" No problem so what's your name?" I ask.

" Nick..Grimshaw." he smiled and winked.

" Are you new here?"

" Yea, I actually need help with my schedule." He replied as he shuffled through his wad of papers and handed me the schedule.

" Oh we have the next two classes together just follow me."

Nick and I walk through the halls side by side, on our way to the next class.

" So..what's your name?"

" Marcel."

" Oh Marcel do you mind if I sit with you at lunch? I don't really know anybody and it would suck eating alone.." Nick asks as we walk into the classroom.

" Sure no problem." I smile. He seems like such a nice guy and I might as well let him sit with me considering I've lost my best friend and boyfriend.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Turns out Nick is a really funny guy. We were on our way to the lunch tables and I couldn't stop laughing.

" Marcel, I need to talk to you."

I look up and see Louis standing in front of me with watery eyes.

" We have nothing to talk about Louis. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat lunch with my new friend." and with that I grabbed Nick's arm and walked away.

" Who was that?" Nick asked once we were in line.

" Nobody." I replied as I grabbed a tray. It was silent for a while until he piped up again.

" So..there's this book store slash coffee shop and I was thinking maybe you'd like to go with me after school?"

" That would be great." I smiled. I needed to get over Louis so why not just hang out with Nick, it's not like I like him.
