Home Run Honey // n.s.

Chapter One

"Good morning, class," Miss Libby said once the bell rang. "I hope you're all having a good first day so far." Several groans were heard around the room and she gave a knowing smile. "I see. Alright, I will take the attendance and then we will do a little activity thing."

"Aren't you so excited?!" I asked Marcel and Zayn.

"No," Zayn answered bluntly.

"I'm a little excited," Marcie shrugged.

"Well, I guess if you're excited, I'll be excited with you, baby." Zayn leaned in to peck Marcel's temple. I figured he would change his mind. Marcel has Zayn wrapped around his finger.

"Niall Horan?" I heard Miss Libby call.

"Here," he said in that beautiful Irish accent of his. I looked across to him on the other side of the room as he was whispering something in Louis' ear. Louis looked up and looked at me as well as Niall. Louis nodded his head as he smirked at Niall. Okay...?

I turned back to Zayn and Marcel. "Are you going to talk to him this year, Haz?"

"I've talked to him before!" I protested.

"Zayn Malik?"

"Here!"

"You've apologized to him before."

"That wasn't my fault," I grumbled.

"It wasn't your fault that you nearly busted his car window out with a baseball?"

"I was trying to impress him!"

"Trying, being the key word."

"Look, the ball landed near me, so I just thought 'Why not?' and I threw it and it may not have made it to him. No big deal. And it didn't bust the window out."

"Whatever you say, Haz."

"Harry Styles?"

"Here!"

"Marcel Styles?"

"Here!"

"Louis Tomlinson?"

"Here!"

"Do you think we'll sit alphabetical order?" I asked no one in particular.

"Maybe," Marcie shrugged.

"Well, if we do, I guess it's easier to work your way up, yeah?" They both gave me confused looks. "Talk to the best friend so he can tell Niall about me..." I explained.

"You're so desperate, Harry."

"Okay, guys, we're going to do a little activity. I want you to come up here, state your name and grade, tell us why you took drama, if you're single or in a relationship, and tell us one interesting thing about you. Think we can do that?" A chorus of 'yes ma'am' went around the room. "Good, who would like to start?"

"I will!" Louis stood up. No surprise there. "Hello, children. I'm Louis Tomlinson, if you didn't know that already and I'm a senior. And I'm definitely in a relationship. Um, I took drama 'cause my best mate wanted me to. And that little cutie sitting over there with the cute blush, is Liam, my boyfriend. So, hands off. " Louis went back to his seat. He wrapped an arm around Liam's waist and pecked his forehead. Even though Louis and Liam are total opposites, they are, by far, one of the cutest couples in this school.

"Thank you, Louis. Who's next?"

"I guess I'll go," Zayn stood up. "Uh, I'm Zayn Malik, I'm a senior. I'm in a relationship with Marcel back there," he pointed back to Marcel who looked down and blushed. "I took drama 'cause my best mate also wanted me too. And I like to draw." He sat back down and Miss Libby asked for another person.
