That Boy is Mute | Clem x Louis Fanfic [Highschool AU]

13 - Milkshake Fries

Warning: some strong language.

Clementine

With Louis waiting in the library, Clem instantly knew she would be late. She went to see a certain teacher about some extra work, and ended up talking about random stuff as well. Being polite, she didn't want to end the conversation too quick as this teacher was too nice.

Exiting the classroom at last, Clem checked the time and saw she was over 10 minutes late. Considering she was never late, it was a big chunk of time lost.

"For god sake." She muttered, heading straight for the library.
Managing to find the usual table, Louis was there. But, so was another stranger.
It was the someone younger than the pair, but she recognised him from around school.

She heard the kid say, "Watch yourself weirdo." Before Louis could think of what to do, Clem was already interfering.

Grabbing the kids unsuspecting shoulder, Clem pulled him away from the table and towards the door.
Angrily, she spoke "Oh my fucking god. Get lost." And shoved him through the door.

"You'll regret ever associating yourself with him." He pathetically threatened.

"Really? I'd rather die than associate with someone like you, so I'm all good with how things are now." She replied, slamming the door closed on his face.

Returning to the table and awaiting dread head, Clem asked "Are you okay?" While taking a seat.

'Yeah, he doesn't seem threatening when he's not even 5ft tall.' Louis wrote, making a joke out of the situation. Clem ugly snorted at the comment, having not expecting it.

"Okay then. Time to focus on the stupid project." She announced, emptying the messy papers from her bag onto the table in front of them.

After working for a short while on the project, Louis dismissed himself to use the bathroom. Strolling in and minding his own business, he instantly mentally eye rolled at the same kid from before. He was also stood in the bathroom, as if waiting for someone.

"Well, fancy seeing you here." He said, menacingly. Louis just shrugged at the comment.

Taking a step closer into his personal space, Louis took a large step back. He definitely wasn't looking for trouble.

"You've been getting on well with the new girl. Clementine, is it?" He said in a threatening tone. Hesitantly, he nodded his head in reply.

Taking another step forward, the bully spoke again "You two seem to get along well. Too well. Have you kissed?" Louis felt slightly surprised by the invasive question. Shaking his head no, he lied.

"Good, because you'll regret it if anyone finds out you did." The boy pointed an accusing finger.

Leaving the bathroom, Louis was now alone. It was a weird situation to be in, but at least it didn't end in violence. For a change.

Returning back to the desk and his project partner, he signed 'Hello.' Once she looked up to see him.

"Oh, you're back. I started to think you accidentally flushed yourself down the toilet." The girl joked. Louis just shook his head to say no, with a grin on his face.
