The Pen-Pal Project (Larry Stylinson + Niam Horayne)

-Louis-

Sitting in the freezing classroom. You'd think that in October they'd turn on the heating. But no! that's only for the summer when it's too hot anyway!

'I swear i'm freezing my nose off, and i'm too young to become voldemort!' i said to Eleanor

'shut up, Lou. I'm trying to learn science' she sighed

'El, why are you in such a bad mood at me?' I asked in a whisper

'Maybe because this is the longest conversation we've had in a week' she growled

'only because you snap at me, and tell me to 'go away' or 'shut up'' i retorted

'Maybe if you took more notice of me, i wouldn't be in a bad mood' she said

'well you've just completely contradicted yourself, i'm sorry El but make up your mind' I whisper growled a her

'Make up my mind? Lou, we haven't had a day just us two for two weeks, and i know for a fact you weren't busy at the weekend, do you even want to be with me?' she snapped back

'guys, stop arguing' Niall whispered from behind us

'don't just drop into our conversation, Niall. This is private' Eleanor snapped at him

'then don't have it in a classroom' Niall replied looking hurt.

'Eleanor, Niall has done nothing wrong, don't be angry at him too' I said

'so you admit you've done something wrong' Eleanor said a triumphant smirk on her face

'no, i admit you're being an unreasonable bitch' I growled at her, a second later there was an ear splitting slap, and my cheek was stinging uncontrollably, the whole class turned to us, as my eyes widened

'ELEANOR' the science teacher said in shock

'sorry Mrs Webber' She replied giving me evils as i rubbed my cheek, it was tingling so badly.

'I want to see you back here at lunch' she said turning back to the board.

'you need to decide what you want more' Eleanor whispered 'Me or that stupid pen-pal'

'My pen-pal is not stupid' i hissed

'He is to me'

i looked back at the board and ignored her for the rest of the lesson. I know Lottie said to take her on a date, but i didn't have any money, and Eleanor liked the finer things in life. She wouldn't settle for a simple Nando's, she'd want to go to the fanciest restaraunt in town.

The bell went and i grabbed my bag, i stood up and walked out of the class and walked off to Muisc,

'Lou, what is going on with Eleanor lately?' Niall asked running up besides me

'Ever since this project she's been starting arguments with me, all the time' I sighed as i walked into the classroom.

'Morning class, today we're just going to perform the piece you've been working on this week, if you all go and sit on the chairs, you'll perform them one by one' Mr Jessop our music teacher said. For this project we could do what we wanted, we could go in groups or solo's. I opted for a singing solo. I sat down next to Niall in the back row.

'We will go in alphabetical order' he said sitting down

'Francis Abbot' he said, Frank walked up and  picked out a guitar as a couple of others came and went up to the microphone

'We're singing a song as a group' He said.

I have to admit, they weren't that bad. There was another group song and then Niall went with his guitar,

before i knew it it was my turn. i gulped and walked down to the stage, I walked up to the microphone

'I'll be singing 'Look after you' By 'The Fray'' i said before taking a deep breath and singing, once i was finished everyone began clapping loudly

The last act went and Mr Jessop walked onto the stage

'You must be wondering why i asked you to do this mini concert. But there is a reason. At the end of this term, before christmas' he said looking at us, we were all listening expectantly 'we are going to be going to a performance, rather you'll be performing in said performance, the Dancers and the Music students'

'where is it?' Frank asked

'Holmes Chapel School in Cheshire' he said, my heart skipped a beat 'As all of you know, we are already involved in a project with them, this project finishes in December. And we thought it would be a nice chance if you all met and got to see your pen-pal'

a steady chatter filled the room as everyone began to gossip about this latest news.

This was amazing, but why did i feel so nervous. why were my palms so sweaty? and why was my breathing so weird?

'This is so cool, i can meet Liam, and you can meet Harry' Niall said excitedly

'yeah' I said weakly

'You ok, Lou?' Niall asked, pulling me from my thought

'i'm great Ni' I laughed

'You can go to lunch now, you all preformed brilliantly' Laughed Mr Jessop at all the excited students.

'Come on Ni, lets go to Nando's now, we don't have lessons for the rest of the day'

'I'm not sure Lou, i'm not hungry' He said and i stopped dead

'Niall James Horan! What is wrong with you?' i asked feeling his temperature that seemed pretty normal

'i suppose i could manage a peri peri chicken' he chuckled at me, i gave him an odd look before skipping off to the school gates Niall laughing and running after me.
