Time skip next day.

Henry's Pov

I walked into the school, groaning.

The whispers immediately started as I walked through the halls. But they were.. Different.

They were about him.

I stopped to listen, only to be pushed over by a group of boys.

I landed on my knees, making me wince.

I heard one of them yell as the others laughed.

I rolled my eyes as they walked away.

"Are you alright?" I heard someone ask.

It was Austin again.

I nodded and he let out a quiet 'good', then holding out a hand to help me up.

I raised an eyebrow at this, getting up by myself. He retracted his hand away, awkwardly apologising.

I asked.

"Well, there's still a few minutes until lessons start. Do you wanna just.. talk?" He asked.

I answered.

"Why would you be late? You have plenty of time." He asked as I started walking.

I replied.

"Mrs #####'s room?" He asked.

I asked.

"I have her too!" He exclaimed.

I joked, turning to face him.

"Football? You mean soccer??" He questioned.

I laughed, flicking him in the forehead.

"If you're going to insult me, at least do it properly." He smirked. I rolled my eyes and continued walking.

I asked in realisation.

"Technically, yes. But they're assholes. They have no personality other than 'I'm BeTtEr ThEn YoU bEcAuSe I'm PoPuLaR'!" He mocked.

I couldn't help but laugh.

I said.

Before I had realised it, I'd already made it to the classroom.

"Made it before the bell. Earliest I've ever been!" He said. I nodded in agreement.

Just then, the bell went off and we walked into the classroom.
