Eating Disorder. [NH AU] III

» 02.

the next day we were woken up by a massive alarm blaring throughout my whole room. i jolted upright immediately as i'm not a deep sleeper, unlike my room mate who's snores were the other dominant noise in the bedroom. i debated over waking him up i figured that since he was rude to me yesterday, karma will get him and make him late for his first lesson.

my first lesson was a theory lesson that require brains about sport science. in a way i was grateful that it wasn't anything practical which involved me doing sports that involves me using up the little energy i have left in me.

i sit down in an empty space with my room number '24' on it, surrounded by people all in pairs. i guess they're room mates that have bonded with another. luke was wrong, we're not enemies; if anything we're partners. oh well.

the first half an hour of the lesson the teacher explains who he is and what his goal is for this week of health related and skill related fitness components. i felt quite proud that i actually knew all of this knowledge, just didn't have the effort to put my hand up unlike the person at the back of the class.

"so name me all of the skill related fitness components and the definition of power, somebody?" nobody raised their hand up either because they're mainly practical clever students or lazy or they were shy. i was none of those things. i knew the answer i just didn't have any effort to tell everyone that i knew. that would be between me, the final exam, the pen and the teacher to know.

eventually somebody called out from out at the back, "agility, balance, co-ordiantion, reaction time and speed. the definition of power is speed x strength." he answers comfortably. i glance backwards so i could see this stranger and it was quite well gelled back fringed stubbled face young man around my age, maybe a year older with a muscular build but not a cocky attitude. he was looking down at the table as everyone was staring at him. he looked quite interesting. next to him was the one and only justin! justin grins at me when he sees me and i can't help but grin right back.

"impressive mr..." -"liam payne." he finishes off the teacher's sentence and the teacher nods his head in almost approval. a mutter was heard, "suck up." and what do you know, late luke decides to show up to class now. class was already half way through. he's missed so much-well actually hardly anything. the teacher didn't hear the mutter as his back was to the class when he was writing something on the board, but liam did hear it. i saw him clenching his fists and on the verge of standing up to confront luke but something comes over him and he instantly sits down with his head facing the table like before. it's like something was controlling him at the split second. really strange but not my main concern right now.

luke towers over my desk, which i guess is our desk now and he glares at me coldly for a few seconds before sitting down. most curious eyes on us now.

"you could've woken me up." he grumbled to me and i scoffed under my breathe.

"you clearly told me not to talk to you as i'm the apparent enemy." I remind him and he rolls his eyes.

"you just know i'm a big threat to you. you're just jealous so you tried sabotage my chances of getting the full scholarship to this school, my dream school." he hissed back at me and i smirk lightly at how stupid he was being jumping to conclusions.

"i really couldn't care less, do you wanna know why? it's because i'm crap at sports and i don't want to be here so stop seeing me as a threat because i'm FAR from one." if it was me two years ago i would've stated that his challenge was accepted and i would've beaten his sorry butt in every sport and test we go through. now i just want to go home.

"why are you even here then?" luke asked me curiously, his tone softening slightly, maybe realising that i'm just some loser kid who won't take away his dream. no thank you.
