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

45 - Final Project

5 chapters remaining! Any theories for the ending?

Clementine

School was becoming slightly boring these days for everyone, especially since there was no drama.

Marlon and Brody had been together for 18 months by now. Louis has been around for their whole relationship, and he's seen them grow.

Minerva and Vi had a few more rough patches, which was seeming to be more common nowadays.

Erin had gone back to her own state, long ago, and hopefully stay there. No one had heard from her since Marlon's text anyway.

Clementine and Louis? They were as good as ever.

After a long school year, it was finally time to hand in the completed English project which Louis and Clementine had been working on for so long.

It was a joint effort between two teens that started as strangers, and ended as lovers.

Not just lovers, but the love of each other's lives.

Heading into that class, Clem was the one that held all the files together. Louis happily let her show it off, all proud and giggly.

But, Louis was also proud of his girlfriend that day since she also decided to randomly wear a skirt. She got a few looks, but no one dared say anything as they knew her record with Derek and bullies.

At the teachers desk, he asked "How did you two find this project? Some people just couldn't work together on it with the constant arguing." While adjusting the glasses on his pale face.

With a knowing grin, Clem replied simply by saying "It's one of the best things to ever happen to me." And strolled away with the teacher very confused.

'I think he's very confused by that comment.' Louis signed, once she arrived back at their shared desk.

Clem just shrugged. "I'll leave it to his imagination. He might just think I really like English."
Louis chuckled at that.

'He doesn't think that because I've caught you sleeping in that exact class before.' Louis retorted.

"Shut up you." Clem jokingly hissed back, wanting to keep her secret exactly that.

Louis

During that same day, it was now lunchtime and there was a smaller group of friends today.

Aasim and Ruby could be seen through a window in the school building. It was fairly normal now to see Aasim blushing, with Ruby giggling away - such as right now.

'Aasim used to be a pyromaniac but ironically stopped after dating a redhead.' Louis signed, following with the couples interactions from after.

"True. I think they're highly underrated as a couple." Brody spoke up. "Very unlikely pair but they suit each other." She continued.

Louis nodded to that.

Marlon and Brody, the common usuals, were hogging a bench to themselves.

"Guys, did you know that the projects have already been marked?" Marlon spoke up, his arm dangling off his girlfriend's shoulder.
