Clementine

The days just slapped her in the face, little did she know that it would be the exams for the semester soon. And then they'll finally have a 5 day vacation.

Clementine sipped her canned coffee, as she highlighted her notes. She adjusted her baseball cap, to shield her eyes from the fluorescent light. These days she became a lot more serious, staying up late to study on subjects she 'struggles' in. Really, she doesn't struggle in shit. Maybe Spanish is an exception, but she grew up intelligent, ahem unlike duck.

Clementine jolted down the example problems on her study notebook, as she answered them quietly. These were questions that so happened to pop up during tests, it was a tactic that most teachers done, and it gave her a easy pass. She sat alone in the early hours of school, she alerted Violet that she'd be leaving much earlier than due.

She spent an hour and a half waiting outside on the patio, studying in the dark, which was only illuminated by her phone flashlight. She waited for the library to open at 6:40 in the morning, and she was able to grab a decent spot alone in solitude.

She heard a somewhat silent cough, she jolts up; surprised by the sound. She turns her back to see Louis waving at her "You scared me" She said partially relieved, she tapped her pen on the book she wrote scribbles on, looking at the freckled boy

He chuckles, dropping his bag down beside him "What are you doing so early?" He asked, somewhat whispering. Clementine pointed to the pens, and the notebook which had decently good notes on them "Studying??"

Louis chuckled "So far you're the smartest person I know, well besides Aasim because he just spouts out information from text books." Clementine snickers "My dad's a history professor, I know my shit, besides Spanish because I'm bad at that stuff" She turned to her notes and began writing down problems yet again

Louis hums, his eyes widened looking at the pretty notes imprinted on the pages, the ink was somewhat thick "Your notes are actually really good." Clementine laughs silently "I'm surprised you care about notes"

Louis grinned "Violet has messy notes. But hey, still works." Clementine's pen flickered, as she fidgets with the pen, clicking on the pen top "I heard from Marlon that you don't even study, but you still have decent grades"

"I do" Louis answered, slightly offended "I don't have the brains for nothing" He winks, Clementine rolls her eyes, as she adjusted her jacket in her place

She needed to defeat fire with fire

"If you say so, Prince Charming." She winks, before focusing back onto the worded math problems. Louis felt his cheeks turn red, maybe his charm was rubbing off to her. "Hey, if you call me that; I need to call you Princess too, Clemmy Clou" He wiggles his eyebrows, Clementine groans

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Clem rests her hand down and looks at Louis in the eye, her amber eyes examining him. She was teasing him with the help of her beautiful, golden eyes. Before finally, breaking contact. Louis sighs. Dang, how did she do that, it was like he was under a spell

"Okay Louis," Clementine smirked "Just for fun, I'm going to quiz you on a few things." Louis grinned "Game on" And the last time she heard those words, she flung herself across a playground full of friends.

Clementine wrote down a few questions on the paper, and handed it to Louis, she rested her elbow on her hand, tapping the table like it was a pretend piano, in a beat from 'Clementine' A song Louis would love to blast into her ear, basically sad ear rape.

Louis finished it under two minutes, Clementine laughed as she was impressed. She checked the answers and gave a genuine smile "Good."

The room went silent, as Clementine focused onto different subjects, like literature, geometry, and English. Louis needed a icebreaker to break the silence "So, where are you going for college?"

Clementine chuckled "What's with the serious question?" She coughed, "Well, I want to go to this college that's in New York, and if  I don't do this correctly, I'll never forgive myself and just go back to Georgia." Louis snickered at the last part, Clementine raised an eyebrow "What?"

"I also want to go to New York, to you know. Pursue my music career," He huffed, tapping the pen lightly "I could go with you"

Clementine paused for a moment at the intriguing request? She wasn't so sure "What about Sophie huh?" She teased, Louis' body went tense, his shoulders fell solid and his eyes wandered off to the paper

Louis focused onto the girl, he instinctively grabbed her hand, causing her to shiver a little "I like you Clem.." He sighed, his cheeks flushed from the sudden confession "But.. I can't break up. Something bad will happen to you, and something bad can happen"

Clementine never really understood what he meant by that, but she assumed he meant that he was scared of Sophie "What could she do? Murder me?"

"Exactly." He sighed "She makes these death threats that have a hollow meaning, and she drove every single girl that liked me out of Ericsons. Not only that, she made a girl crash a car." He closed his chocolate brown eyes shut "I won't allow myself to live if something like that happened."

Louis slowly recalled the very last time Sophie manipulated him, to think she was going to kill herself if they broken up. It was crazy, and it drove him off the cliff, but he needed help to escape some how

"Don't worry, Louis." She dropped her pen "Nothing will ever happen"

"How do you know that" Clementine chuckled "My dad was in a fight, and almost killed someone, and my friend, Kenny owns a boat." Louis shivered at the thought of her parent potentially getting mad at her

"Oh, fair point." He chuckles,

Clementine shined a smile, before writing on her notebook again "You're so smart- why do you have to study?" Louis whined, as he kicked back from the chair. Clementine looked at her phone, and then back to the window next to them; The sun was rising and more people were rushing in. Because of exams, this was a serious thing.

Louis was doodling on a page, as he watched the concentrated girl study more, her nose scrunched up and her eyes furrowed, to see a very small typo error in the textbook. Their arms grazed against each other as they wrote. Clementine moves back a little, noticing they're lacking space "I can move." She grins, turning back to her book; Readjusting her cap

Louis shakes his head, as he pulls Clementine's chair back, making the legs of the chair squeak on the floor. Louis' cheek was now leaned onto her cheek. Clementine immediately turns red, as Louis shifts towards her;

Their lips meeting for the first time, Clem simply closed her eyes, The sparks flying off, her body jolted in the static of their lips meeting for the first time. Louis pulled back, licking his lips. She tasted like coffee.

"I always wanted to do that" He winked, the girl didn't say anything. She found herself smiling, as she covered her flushed cheeks with a hand "I could agree more.." she mumbled

"What was that?" 

"Nah, nevermind"
