Next to me {on hold}

Chapter 2: reactions.
What´s happened before in “next to me”…
Anto´s point of view
While I was finding again myself distracted, Louis said something that provoked boos and cheering from the school members, students and crew. My mouth fell wide open and I couldn´t believe what I had just heard. I simply had to stare at Harry´s face to capture his reaction. A few minutes before…
Louis´ point of view:
I smiled widely as I explained the meaning of one of my tattoos and told the people I was going to have a new one made soon, while asking for recommendation of places. The creepy look in some girls´ faces quite scared me to be honest. I had never felt so stalked and decided to put an end to my exposition. I quickly murmured “fuck” and I guess Harry understood it because he nodded and smiled warmly as if he wanted me to feel better. I decided to do something I was leaving for later on. My whole body was shaking and my voice trembled a bit when I said: “Guys, I also wanna let you know, I´m gay”. I was soon to find the school wasn´t exactly a gay friendly one as a big proportion of the people present booed (a/n: I have no clue of what the past of boo is or even if boo is the verb, I hope you understand the idea :D) and tears filled my eyes. I fought hard not to let them fall but I was relieved when I felt somebody hugging me from behind as a raspy (and sexy I must say) voice told me everything would be fine. I turned around and fixed my eyes into his while he looked downwards, nervousness and shyness being visible in his gorgeous eyes. Zayn asked me politely for the microphone, quite interrupting our moment to talk to his students.
I found myself staring at the floor, once again, as Zayn recriminated the booing. I would later thank him for that. He then asked Diana (a striking blond girl) and Johanna to stay after everyone left.
Harry and I were introduced to these two girls; I would shadow Johanna while he did the same thing with Diana. The fact that “Di”, as she introduced herself was SO gorgeous and stunning made my stomach revolve. Jealousy is one of my many flaws but… wasn´t it too soon to be jealous towards Harry? Zayn looked at me with concern; my thoughts had probably reached my face. I smiled and he took that as a sign that everything was indeed fine.
We all walked away from the main hall and were directed to two different classes. Mine was 6th. I surprised greatly when we got in and found a blonde guy and a real cute girl making out. They noticed us and immediately blushed,
“Oh hey, I´m Niall, this is Chiara, my girlfriend! Everyone else is in the art room at the moment, please don´t tell anyone we are here? And Louis, by the way, feel free to come to us anytime you need something around school!” I thanked and Johanna and I retired laughing. I felt good knowing I had somebody to count on inside the place.
Once we got to the art room, I started chatting with a really friendly group of boys and girls. They introduced themselves as Ailu, Zac, Finn and Lucas. The girl´s personality was really intriguing and I thanked her a lot when she told me she admired me for doing what I had done earlier. We soon started talking fluently and I was really happy for making new friends. We had Spanish classes in the next period and, since I speak the language fluently, I was asked to deliver a class, which I did great.
My first break at Sydney´s most important school was beyond overwhelming. I found myself constantly under everyone´s eyes and, although I received really nice comment from some people, valuing my courage, I was also forced out of the room to have some time to myself. I had to leave after a bunch of guys (which I later found out were the “popular ones” as they played in the football team) started bullying me for my sexuality. The way they went to me was something I had never experienced before and I wasn´t able to fight back due to the level of aggressiveness I was facing. I went away running like a chick and heard their laughs at the back until I found a door to a room which I entered. I immediately started crying and sobbing. My emotions were not under control at that moment and it seemed as if I couldn´t do anything to get any better. However, I eventually heard somebody knocking the door and I feared. What if it was them again? I had locked myself and whoever the person on the outside was, she/he was getting annoyed. I decided to open the door with caution. A little smile drew in my face as I saw Ailu entering the little room and hugging me tightly. I found out she had seen me entering that place and that was waiting for the exact moment to come help me. I was totally grateful. We stayed there for about 2 periods and basically I didn´t stop thanking her for being there. We did end up talking about random stuff and our likes, which were similar.
Harry´s point of view:
I was extremely happy with Diana being my shadowed girl. She was really hot and spending so much time with her had me think our similarities would probably make a good couple between us two. After 4 periods and 1 break it was, luckily, time for lunch and, to my surprise, I was smiling brightly when I viewed Louis asking for his food, he smiled back.
“You should try this sandwich! This is already the third one I´m eating” – He said while signaling a tasty looking meat sandwich. “By the way, you are having lunch at that table, and this is Ailu, a great person I´ve met”.
I asked for one and the three of us went to seat at a table were Johanna, Diana and some guys whose names I didn´t know were. Lunch was fun and I got to know everyone a bit more. Diana didn´t stop staring at me and I couldn’t be any happier. I decided I would ask for Louis opinion later while we were in our flat (yes, the school had rented an apartment for the two of us).
The rest of the day went on calmly. It was 4.30 when Louis, Niall, Chiara, Zayn, Anto, Ailu and I left school to go to a local coffee shop to have something to eat before Louis and I left to our house. I was really happy for all the guys and girls I had met during that day.
