One Direction Teacher Imagines

Liam Part 4

"Alright. Today we'll be playing volleyball!" Coach Payne announced after we were all tuckered out from ten sets of ten pushups and ten sets of sixteen situps. Well, they were. I was forced to just watch them. According to Coach Payne, I needed to "relax myself" before doing any hardworking activity. So, I was plopped on the floor with my bag and gym clothes, watching my peers nearly pass out. Whoopie.

 

The girls were assigned to their teams and were given volleyballs. Coach told them to begin and they did. Mostly. I noticed our beloved coach walking my way. I sent him a pathetic wave with a sarcastic smile as he stepped beside me.

 

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

 

"Well, all this exercise is making me sweaty," I said dryly. He sat down next to me, placing his clipboard beside him.

 

"This is for your condition."

 

"By making me an outcast?"

 

"No one knows--"

 

"Everyone knows." His eyebrows furrowed.

 

"About..." I nodded.

 

"I just want to be normal, okay?" He turned to face me more directly.

 

"I know you do. I-- Have they been treating you badly?"

 

"Only a little. So far. A few comments here and there. Most just pity me." He looked back at the girls playing volleyball. I followed his gaze. (Y/F/N) and Katie were on a team. So were Kylie and Laura. A bunch of girls looked over and waved. Many started actually trying.

 

"Go get changed." I turned my head to face him.

 

"What?"

 

"You heard me. Go get changed."

 

"Really? OMG thanks, Coach!" I gave him a hug on instinct. When I pulled away he was staring at me with his mouth hung open. "Sorry..." He chuckled.

 

"No, no, it's fine. No need to apologize. You were just thanking me. You're welcome." I smiled once more before running over to the girls' lockerroom. I quickly changed and ran back out, excited to not be useless anymore. "Alright, (Y/N), pick a team."

 

"Uhh..." I looked around. I saw (Y/F/N) and waved. She smiled and called me over.

 

"(Y/N), please be careful," Coach Payne called. I looked over at him.

 

"I will," I reassured him. He nodded. I ran over to my friends.

 

"Hey! You're playing with us?" (Y/F/N) asked.
