Silent Treatment

Ten

     

         {Louis POV}

 

     I could feel everyone staring at us as we walked out of the front office with Liam's schedule. He tried to get as many classes with me as he could. We have AP Cal and music together this semster and he wont be here for the next one so he clearly doesn't have a schedule for that semester.

        It seemed like the whole hall had stopped to watch us as we walked down the hallway. They acted like they have never seen someone talk to me, let alone be around me for this long. I tried to ignore the looks but it was almsot every single person in this school, except the teachers, some of the teachers. 

    

   Either Liam didn't realize everyone was watching us, or he just decided to ignore them. I couldn't even focus on what he was talking about because I was so distracted. This type of attention bothered me. Well, any type of attention bothered me, but this kind was the worst. 

   i started to walk a little faster trying to get out of the hallway quicker. It felt like an eternity before I saw the door to our AP Cal class. My shoulders sagged a little in relief because I knew it wouldn't be much longer now.

   "So, what do you think about that, Louis?" Liam asked as we reached the classroom door.  I took my seat and he sat next to me.

   "I'm sorry, what did you say?" I asked him as I stared at the clock. We have at least ten minutes until the bell rings and about five until anybody comes towards the door. Math seems to be the most hated subject in school. I don't get it, math is my favorite. Maybe that's because it comes so easily to me.

   "I was asking you what you thought about the paper I am writing for my school and what I should use in it." Liam restated. He gave the classroom a glance as he waited for me to get my thought together and reply.

   "Shouldn't you be asking me what you should use when you actually have some information to put in your paper?" I replied. 

    "Genius. What would I do without you? And I already have some ideas I just don't know which way to go yet" Liam laughed as he opened his little notebook.

   "Go with what you find to be the most fascinating." I answered truthfully. I looked over his shoulder at the notebook to find the first page filled with little notes everywhere on the page. Liam is a wordy guy so that's what I expected to find. If he didn't write so small I would be able to see what he was writing down.

   The bell rang shortly after we finished talking, many students rushing through the door trying not to be caught being late to class. It's probably a good thing this teacher came in a little late today.
