The next morning I woke up with strong arms wrapped around me and that familiar smell that I loved so much. I turned my head and peered at the clock. It read 8:45 am. Crap! I am almost late for class. I jump up and throw on some clothes. Harry got up and glanced at the clock. He got dressed and we left for class.
I walked through the door right at 9 when the bell rang.
I took my seat and then Mr. Tomlinson said "Okay class please pass your papers up to the front."
I froze and my heart beat sped up. I had forgotten to write my paper because I was crying all night. Mr. Tomlinson's eyes locked with mine and he could sense that I had forgotten.
He walked down the isle and stopped at my desk. "see me after class." he whispered into my ear. A shiver ran down my back. It was the second day and I was already in trouble. I sat in class the rest of the period nervously tapping my foot. When the bell rang I jumped in my seat. Everyone exited the class and I gathered my things and went to Mr. Tomlinson's desk.
"You wanted to see me Mr. Tomlinson." I said.
"Now Liam, I know that you are a great student. My friend Mr. Malik taught you last year. He told me all about you. Now tell me why you didn't write your paper last night."
I nervously looked down and fiddled with my fingers.
"Liam you can trust me." He said standing up and putting his hand on my shoulder sending a jolt of electricity through my body. I looked up to meet his gorgeous blue eyes staring at me with curiosity.
He took his hand off of my shoulder and I said "I..."
At that moment Niall walked through the door and said "Mr. Tomlinson can I... Liam?" He said surprised. I turned to Mr. Tomlinson and his gaze was locked on Niall. I took this opportunity and bolted out the door. I couldn't handle being in the same room as Niall. I heard Mr. Tomlinson calling after me and I ignored him. I rushed to my next class and took my seat.
After school Harry met me outside of my last class and we walked to our dorm together. He pushed open the door and let me in. I sat on the couch and Harry sat next to me.
"So, I heard that you got called to stay after class. Why?" Harry said.
"I forgot to write my essay for his class."
"that's it? I thought that you did something bad from what I heard." Harry said surprised.
"no. You know me well enough. I would never do anything to get in trouble."
"I guess." To snap me out of my thoughts there was a knock at the door. Harry got up and answered it.
"Liam it's for you." Harry said turning to face me. I looked past him and saw Mr. Tomlinson. "I'm just going to go to and get a coffee. Do you want anything?"
"No I'll be fine." I replied.
Harry stepped out and let Mr. Tomlinson in. "Liam why did you run out on me?"
I grabbed a pillow from beside me and pulled it to my chest. Mr. Tomlinson sat beside me and repeated his question.
"Niall is the reason." I said.
"and why would this be?"
"Mr. Tomlinson..."
"Please call me Louis."
"Louis, I just can't tell anyone. It's personal and I don't want my teacher knowing about it."
"Well, either you don't tell me and you get a zero for your report or you tell me and you get an A."
"You have to promise not to tell anyone."
"I cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay, well to start off I'm gay." I looked at him to see his reaction. He was just nodding his head waiting for me to continue. "And I like Niall. He came over and Harry forced me out of the dorm. Niall invited me over to his dorm and so I walked in and we sat down on his couch. From what information I gathered I had concluded that he liked me back. I wanted to tell him my feelings first but I couldn't find a way to say it so I just kissed him. He freaked out on me and told me to leave so I did. I came here crying and Harry comforted me all night. That is also the reason that I didn't do your report."
I looked at him and I saw that he was processing all that I was saying. When he had figured it all out he said "Liam, I'm glad that you can trust me. You are wrong. He's straight but he came to me earlier to talk about it because I am gay. He had described the situation to me and he said that he was surprised by your actions and he liked it. He just wasn't sure if he wanted to date a guy."
When he finished I nodded and said "Well it's nice to know that I didn't scare him." I chuckle to myself.
"I'm sorry to say but he said that he wasn't up to being gay."
"It's fine I'm used to disappointments. I have one person that still hasn't crushed my heart."
"and who may that be?" He asked.
"You." I said and looked at him. He had a smile on his face.
"Well that won't change." He said and he kissed my lips quickly. He stood up and left. I sat there on the couch smiling like a maniac. Today has just turned around.
