Meet Me in the Hallway // L.S.

Chapter 7

Louis Tomlinson

I walked up to school the next day and the first person I saw in the hallway was Niall. I jogged towards him and patted his shoulder. He turned around and raised his hand to give me a hi-fi and said, "Morning Louis!"

I returned the gesture and walked with him, towards the lockers. The first thing I asked him was, "Why did you tell Harry I'm gay! I told you to keep this a secret between us since that party but you told this guy!" He looked at me with a questioned look on his face and said, "How did you know? Did Harry told you?"

I nodded, saying, "Yes he did! When we were walking to our houses, he asked me this question and I felt embarrassed and awkward all of a sudden. You know my reputation in school, right? Besides this drama shit, I'm the life of the party and that everyone likes me for that fact. If this opens up and everybody starts making fun of me, you'll be...", gestured with my thumb sliding sideways across my throat.

He looked at me with shock and said, "Don't threaten me like that?! You know I just joked around and he too probably knows you're not gay."

I rolled my eyes as we reached the lockers and parted to our own. I saw Harry picking some books and then noticed me I was there beside him. He smiled and said, "Good morning!" I responded, "Morning!" with a smile. We walk together down the hallway till we meet the group.

Time goes by and it's finally lunch break. Everyone started gathering in the cafeteria and I looked for my friends, who already occupied a table when I spotted them. I grab my plate and walked straight towards them and joined them, sitting beside Liam.

We laughed and talked about our lectures going by and also discussed about the play. The lunch break is over and the cafeteria goes from a noisy crowd to almost a deserted area.

Fast forward to the end of school. My math teacher stopped me however and I started wondering why. He called me to his office and told me to sit on the chair in front of his desk and I saw Harry sitting in the back. Mr. Brown gestures Harry to sit beside me and started talking. "Mr. Tomlinson, I would like to talk about your math grades. I can see it deceasing day by day and I'm worried about it. So, I'm appointing Harry to tutor you as he is one of the brilliant minded students here and also you guys are friends, right?"

I asked with a worried voice, "But after school, I've drama class if you know?" He nodded slowly and said, "Then try sparing some time out to study with him." Me and Harry nodded simultaneously and started walking out but stopped near the door, waiting for Mr. Brown to dismiss. He waved his hand to dismiss us and started run towards our lockers as fast as possible because the practice was about to begin.

Sorry for the short chapter. But yeah, Harry and Louis got a chance to be alone even though it's just for tutoring.
