The Player's Game [Louis T. AU]

Chapter 12

-Louis-

As soon as the teacher annouced we would be doing a project in Lit class and to pick partners, I kicked the back of Chelsea's chair, letting her know she has was my partner. She turned around in her chair, giving me a quick nod.

--

The bell rings and I stand up, bending down to grab my bag. 

"Lets go to the library after dinner and work on the project, okay?" Chelsea said, putting away her notes

"Alright" I agree

She gave me a quick smile and hurried off to her next class

Throughout my entire Astronomy class, I thought about who Chelsea and I should do our literature project about. It's supposed to be on any famous literature figure. I decided that I would suggest Edgar Allen Poe to Chelsea. If I'm going to read any literature-it will be his.

As I stepped into the line to grab a burger, I scanned the large dinning hall for Chelsea. 

"Cheese or hamburger?" The man behind the counter asked flatly. The elongated expression on his face made it clear that he didn't enjoy his job.

"Cheeseburger" 

He hands me my tray with a burger placed on the top, surrounded by fries. I exit the line, once again looking for Chelsea. 

"Lou!" Derek called . I turn in the direction of his voice.He is sitting with Monica and Chelsea. I scurry to the table, setting my tray next to Chelsea and taking a seat.

"Guess what" Monica says, placing her hands on the table, leaning slightly forward

"What?" We all say in unison

"The college is paying for all the dorm RA's to go on a skiing trip next weekend!" She said, her hands now clasped together with a large smile on her face

"Really?" Chelsea asked, crossing her legs

"Yes!" Monica exclaimed "And I haven't said the best part yet" She smirked "We get to take one guest" she looked at me, then back at Chelsea

"Oh, I don't know if I will go" Chelsea tucked a piece of hair behind her ear 

"What?! Don't be stupid. It's a free skiing trip. You're going" Monica replied

"I can't even ski. I would just be sitting inside" Chelsea commented

"I could teach you" I say, turning towards her slightly in my chair

"I would be a nightmare to teach" She shook her head laughing "You don't have to do that"

"What do you mean? I'll be getting a free skiing trip out of it. C'mon," I nudge her shoulder lightly "It'll be fun"

I could see Monica giving Chelsea looks out of the corner of my eye

"Oh why not" Chelsea shrugged "I guess I'm going skiing" She smiled

I take the last bite of my burger, noticing Chelsea's tray was empty too

"Ready to hit the library?" I ask, rubbing any crumbs off my hands by wiping them on my jeans. 

"Yeah" Chelsea nods, following me to return her tray, then to the library

-Chelsea-

"So" Louis says as he opens the library door, allowing me to enter "I have an idea for who we should do the project on" I followed him to the downstairs section of the library

"..You do?" I ask, completely surprised that he has put any thoughts into this project at all. Needless to say; I'was surprised. "That's great." I followed him to the downstairs section of the library
