To say Louis was nervous was probably the biggest understatement ever. He was anxiously wobbling and bobbling in his chair, staring at the front of the classroom where the last group before himself was performing their song for the music task. Louis didn't want to sing in front of his whole class. He was bad at it and didn't need people telling him that even more. Nervously he was biting on his fingernails, almost eating his finger because there was no nail left. Yes, he was shitting himself.

"Louis, your nerves are making me more nervous now" whispered Niall over to him.

"Sorry Nialler" apologised Louis ashamed.

"No need to. It's okay to be nervous" smiled Niall at him.

"But it's unnecessary. We rehearsed it a lot and everything is perfect. You won't mess up" intervened Harry now.

"Not everybody is as overly self-confident as you" rolled Zayn his eyes at him.

"You should be" shrugged Harry unbothered.

"Guys, shut up" warned Liam them quietly.

Shortly after that it was their turn. Tensed they walked to the front and got everything ready. Harry was the only one being totally calm and it was annoying. Louis tried to ignore his classmates eyes on him but it was really difficult for him. Suddenly Zayn stood next to him and laid his hands soothingly on his shoulders to calm Louis down. It really helped and Louis was thankful to have a friend like Zayn.

"Our Song is called Don't Forget Where You Belong" told Liam anyone who wanted to know.

Then they started the music. Liam's voice sounded like honey and it was very calming. After that Niall's voice sounded a little bit raspier than usual and the other people in the class seemed to like it. When they sang the first chorus Louis finally loosened up a bit. While Harry was singing Louis tried not to stare at him or get lost in Harry's simple being but it was almost impossible. As his and Zayn's part came on Zayn took a hold of Louis' hand and gave it a little squeeze for reassurance. While they were singing their part together Zayn never let go of Louis' hand. For a second Louis had the feeling someone was watching them or more like staring at them and wanted to burn a hole in their heads but he probably had imagined that. Yeah, that must be it.

"Boys, that was amazing. A great song and your voices fit so perfectly fine together. I'm so proud of you for making it work so good even though I had my doubts as you might know. Thank you for not letting Z.. them down, Harry. Good job, guys. Really" praised Mr. Cordon them and patted Zayn on the shoulder like a proud uncle would do. As he realised what he just did he cleared his throat weirdly and went on with the lesson while the other boys sat back down in their seats.

"That was kinda weird, don't ya think?" asked Harry as the lesson was over.

"A bit" admitted Louis while packing his stuff in his bag.

"More like a lot. I mean I'm glad he's proud but what was that?" was Niall perplexed as they left the classroom for Lunch Break.

"Zayn?". Liam looked sympathetically at him. He was the only one who hadn't said a word since then.

"What?".

"You're so quiet" pointed Liam out.

"I'm always quiet" stated Zayn the obvious.

"True but I mean more than usual. What's wrong?" sat Liam down at their usual table.

"Nothing really..." trailed Zayn off.

"Is this about Mr. Cordon?" checked Niall. Zayn nodded.

"What is it?" Liam wanted to know, now worried for his friend.

"Nothing bad, really" assured Zayn them.

"Then what is it? You can tell us everything" laid Louis one hand on Zayn's shoulder. Harry next to him crossed his arms over his chest. Louis just threw him a confused look but Harry looked away. Weird guy.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone? I don't want anything to change" asked Zayn his friend quietly.

"Sure Zayn. We promise" smiled Niall at him.

"You're not having an affair with our teacher, right?" asked Harry jokingly. The other four just rolled their eyes annoyed. Typical Harry.

"No Harry. Are you mental?" looked Zayn incredulously at him.

"I mean it's Harry. Why are you still asking?" grinned Louis cheekily. Niall bursted out laughing at that while Harry just huffed offended and glared at Louis, who was proud of himself.

"Anyways, what is it, Z?" came Liam back to the topic.

Zayn looked at each of his friends faces and then took a deep breath before speaking up. "James, I mean Mr. Cordon is one of my mother's best friends since college. He and Mr. Matthews or Cory literally know me since I'm born. It's weird sometimes because in school he tries to act like I'm just one of his students. It was okay until this year. He wasn't my teacher before and Cory neither but now I have both of them around me so often. At some points it just slips like today".

Well, that definitely wasn't what Louis had expected but it explained so much. It explained the way Mr. Cordon talked to them compared to any other student. They were Zayn's best friends and he had to look out for him. Zayn was practically like a son to him or something similar. Louis knew that feeling with their headmaster. Man, the world was small sometimes.

"Wow, I didn't expect that" spoke Harry up.

"Me neither" agreed Niall with him.

"Please don't tell anyone. IF then it should be me" begged Zayn them.

"Of course we won't, Zaynie. It's none of our business and nothing bad. I think it's pretty cool" assured Louis him smilingly. Now he felt bad that he never told them about his relation to Mr. Cowell.

"Thanks, Tommo" smiled Zayn thankfully at him.

"Great. Any more secrets?" asked Harry in a weird voice.

"Not that I know of" shook Niall his head as their other friends came over to them.

"You can count on me, Z. Like always" Louis heard Liam whisper to Zayn, which made him blush like crazy. Those two, he swears.

After his Drama course Louis went back home with Harry. The whole way home he drove in circles on his skateboard around Harry to annoy him but it apparently didn't work out. Harry just looked at him with that unreadable expression on his face which made Louis stop at some point because he felt uncomfortable under Harry's intense gaze. Why was he looking at him like that? Was he looking that bad today? Did he has something on his face? Did Harry realise the weekend was a mistake and he hates Louis again? No matter what it was it was something bad in Louis' mind and definitely not because he looked like a freaking God. Hell No. He wasn't Harry Styles.

(I mean, look at him *_* )

Today was their first day of studying together. Louis was serious when he had offered that to Harry. He knew Harry played it off as cool and pretended to not care about school but deep down Harry felt stupid and Louis was determined to change that. No matter what will happen in the future he wouldn't let him down. He would help him through everything. And today was the start.

"Oh Louis, you're home and Harry's with you. Hi sweetheart" greeted Maria them.

"Hi Maria" greeted Harry back.

"Please don't annoy me already" groaned Louis and threw his skateboard and bag to the floor.

"You're still on that skateboard thing?" frowned Maria.

"Yep. That's me now" popped Louis the 'p'.

"Fine. I mean it's cool and you look cool but please promise me to be careful and not break your neck" asked Maria him.

"I try my best" said Louis cheekily.

"You gonna get killed someday. Well, I cooked so when you're hungry suit yourselves. I'm off to make your laundry, Mister" saluted Maria jokingly and went upstairs.

"She's a pain in the ass" chuckled Louis and went into the living room.

"She cares about you" pointed Harry out as he sat down next to him.

"I know but she still annoys me on purpose. She's worse than my sisters" shook Louis his head amused.

"Well, I don't know them so I can't tell" shrugged Harry.

"Maybe someday you'll be able to" winked Louis at him. And what? Did Harry just see a ghost or why was he looking so pale all of a sudden?

"Umm how about we start? I have a life besides school, ya know?" cleared Harry his throat.

"Oh sorry I wanna help you" sassed Louis back.

"I know and I'm grateful. I hope you know that" clarified Harry. Louis just nodded and put out his books.

"So, what do you wanna start with?" questioned Louis.

"Err... maybe something we have tomorrow?" answered Harry but it sounded more like a question.

"That leaves us with Chemistry or English because I suck at Biology" said Louis with a chuckle.

"I'm decent in English so Chemistry?".

"Define decent" raised Louis an eyebrow at him.

"I'm not failing if you mean that. I write C's and if I pay more attention I can be better" crossed Harry his arms over his chest.

"I never meant to offend you" held Louis his hands up in defence.

"I just wanted to clear that up. I'm good at languages. I was amazing in French in middle school" told Harry him.

"Really? I actually failed my French class. That's why I switched to Spanish in High School" admitted Louis sheepishly.

"What? Did I hear that right? The Nerd Louis Tomlinson failed a class? I must be in heaven or dead" mocked Harry him playfully.

"You know you're automatically dead when you're in heaven?" smirked Louis at him.

"Shut up, Lewis. I'm having fun here".

"Oh don't call me that, Harold" glared Louis at him.

"I can't here you. I only speak French" pretended Harry to not hear him.

"Oh yeah? If you're that good in it why did you switch to Spanish? I could've been spared of you for the past years" challenged Louis him.

"That's not important right now" snorted Harry.

"Let me guess. You were too good at it. The big Harry Style was a French Nerd and that didn't go with your new reputation so you switched" guessed Louis out of fun.

"Definitely not" huffed Harry but Louis just looked at him until he gave in. "Urgh fine. Yes, that's it. Happy?".

"Very" beamed Louis satisfied.

"Let's just start" grumbled Harry but wasn't really mad.

"Chemistry then? Good. This is the worst and we don't even know if Mr. Harris is back tomorrow" thought Louis out loud.

"Oh you don't know?" gasped Harry.

"I don't know what?" knitted Louis his eyebrows together.

"People are talking around school. His classes were confused. It seems like he is back but not really. He apparently had to reduce his lessons to the half of them because of personal struggles and the substitute teachers we had will take over half of his lessons from now on until the end of this year" told Harry him what he had heard.

"So this means we will have Mr. Matthews half of the time?" hooked Louis.

"Yes. Probably on Friday's because he has his normal lessons on Wednesdays" guessed Harry.

"I would love to know what kind of lesson we're doing with him then. He's not a Chemistry teacher after all" mused Louis.

"It could be interesting for Zayn too" added Harry with a grin.

"Well, let's see what will happen. Now back to our Chemistry, Harold". 

----------------------A/N-------------------------------

I'm back. Finally. My Laptop broke down as some of you know from reading my other story and so I wasn't able to write a lot. Also I had to update my other story. Now I finally had time again and it's really short. Sorry about that. After writing my other story again it feels so weird to write something like that as just one chapter but well. It didn't happen that much. We just got to know things before the real stuff happens. Just a Filler.

Question Of The Chapter: Did you expect what Zayn revealed to them? Will this affect their school time?

Please vote and comment what you think. I'm looking forward to it, my loves<3 <3 <3
