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

28 - Upcoming Trip

Clementine

By now, a couple of months has gone by. Louis and Clem have had no trouble from other students, which was good because they were left to do their own thing.

The pair have been officially dating for a short while, but it was the happiest Louis had been in years. There was no denying that truth either.

Being in geography class, there was Violet and Louis from their small friendship group. He had no idea what the teacher was talking about, due to zoning out constantly. But, the thing to pull him out of those thoughts was a letter placed on his desk. Barely scanning it, he read about a random geography trip and would cost close to $200.

"I highly recommend everyone attending this trip because it will give insight knowledge on the next homework task." The teacher, Carlos, said.

He finished by saying, "It will also be a good chance of getting to know each other more."

"But we are all seniors!" One kids shouted.

Carlos retorted with "So? You meet new people everyday, even if you went school together for several years."

Eye rolling, Louis shoved the letter to the bottom of his bag before leaving the room at the sound of the bell.

Walking next to him in the corridor, heading for lunch, Violet asked the boy a general question. "So, how do you feel now? With Derek being expelled and Clem being your girlfriend."

Signing, he replied with 'I don't think about him anymore. And about Clem, she makes me happy.' And ended with a smile, more to himself than anyone else.

Nudging the tall boy, Violet smirked before saying "You are whipped, my friend."

In reply, he just shrugged, still smiling. He knew it was true though.

Continuing, the blonde girl began to get slightly serious. "Ya know, I've never seen you frown when in her company. I've also seen how you look at her. Your eyes light up like a kid on Christmas."

'Shut your face.' He signed with a deep huff.

"I'm serious. I'm glad that you are happy again. I might not say it often, but I do care about you and I do sometimes worry about you." Violet replied, grabbing the straps on her bag.

'I know what you mean. I don't remember the last time I went home crying and wanting to just end it all.' He replied, thinking back to all of the hard times.

Wanting a change from himself, Louis forced the conversation to her relationship. 'Enough about me. What about you and Minnie?'

Violet shrugged. "We argued a lot after she insulted you at the milkshake bar, and she's been distant lately. But she knows that it was out of line."

'She apologised to me at Marlon's party the other day. She said that she didn't like Clem when she first moved her.' Louis explained.

"Yeah. She didn't exactly try to hide it." Violet replied with a snort.

Arriving at the dinner hall, the pair shared their farewells and split ways.
At the allocated table there was sat Clem, Marlon, Brody and Louis now joining them.
