Louis’ pov

This loud noise echoing inside my head and why do i feel like i’m not having a dream, why is it so loud in here?

My eyelids felt heavy as I stared at my environment again before sighing and realising i was in a different place, this school.

I looked around incase there was any human movements aside mine and there was nothing, turning my phone on to check the time it was already six and i still haven’t met my roommate, isn’t he coming in today?

I went through the school’s pamphlet and discovered dinner was in an hour.

I brought in a lot of clothes because i won’t dare have this uniforms on 24/7. The school uniforms came in three different types.

Even though i hated going through the school’s pamphlet, i needed to figure out what to do ‘cause i don’t think anyone would bother wasting their precious time on me just to give me a tour around the school.

The first uniform is supposed to be worn on Mondays and Tuesdays.

A fine printed pair of black pants, a white long sleeve shirt with a black tie, and a white vest to match along and there was also a long sleeve sweater given to us incase you weren’t feeling in the mood for the vest.

I did check the girl’s uniform as well and they were the exact same, Black short skirts, white long sleeve shirts with a tie and a white vest including a sweater then black socks that’d probably get to their knees to match, we were supposed to always wear them with white sneakers which were given to us as well.

Typical expensive schools.

The uniform worn on Wednesdays down to Fridays was a pair of dark blue pants, white shirt, blue tie and a blue vest including a black sweater, then weird dress shoes that i look great on by the way. The same thing for the girls as well.

The other uniform was the sportswear won only during sports activities. It was the same for both guys and girls, black shorts and black polos, the boy’s shorts were a bit longer than the girls, they don’t want y’all seeing the outcome of these boys after their leg day workout.

The uniforms were cute, my style definitely and i tried them on at home and adjusted all of them to be perfect on me, the school’s badge was on the school’s vest and sweaters, you couldn’t escape them. The uniforms were giving strong korean vibes and Koreans have the best school uniforms.

Genuinely speaking, i was excited to go here. I thought it’d seem like a prison, a place where you’re being surrounded by teachers and weird men standing in corners and watching all your movements but surprisingly everyone felt free, at least i picked up on a few things today while i was dragging my boxes upstairs.

Everyone had smiles on their faces chatting with their friends and exchanging their summer stories, back at my old school i didn’t have any friends except jack who didn’t even attend my school.

Everyone hated me for at least two reasons, they thought i was a snob and i would overhear them talking about how i was always on the news and their parents always comparing them to me and asking them to be more like me.

I met Jack at a bowling alley when i was alone and we talked, had fun and then we texted everyday and for once i felt happy, it didn’t last anyway.

I wanted to make new friends here and i was hoping no one has seen me on the news and starts telling everyone else.

I was done packing , my desk was filled with everything concerning beauty, my skin care products and my different shades of lip gloss, i didn’t apply make up ‘cause i didn’t know how to do i only carried around lip gloss and mascara ‘cause my long lashes tend to fall off all the time.

I loved smelling like vanilla, my shampoo is vanilla flavoured including my lotion, I loved to smell good and hate being surrounded by people who smell bad, get a deodorant and smell good for christ’s sake.

most boys my age were messy, they hardly bother with deodorant and that’s on being truthful, Jack wasn’t the type that always smelled good till i told him about it and he made an effort about it, it’s not about me or anything but you have to at least take care of your body and how it should be perceived. Smelling good is a huge boost to being more attractive.

I placed my black baseball cap properly, adjusting my grey sweatpants and black polo and white flip flops, when dressing up, the colours matters, it has to match to emphasise on your appearance.

I looked alright, my accessories hanging on my neck, wrists and on my ears which still hurts by the way.

I grabbed my phone and the school’s pamphlet heading out and locking the door, if i actually have a roommate and he arrives , i’m sorry if he doesn’t have a card to go in.

Students were rushing past the hallways and into the elevators and i had to wait for the next one to come up, i watched the elevator door open and i walked in engulfed by the silence till i got to the first floor.

I followed some students who were discussing about heading to the cafeteria and it finally dawned on me that everyone here was good looking, at least the few people i’ve seen. Everyone has a unique trait to them that makes them stand out and it really shows right now.

“Hey, are you lost?” I turned to look at the girl beside me all smiles,

she was gorgeous, black and beautiful. There’s always something about black people, they are alluring to the extent that you almost get blinded about how unreal they looked sometimes. She has a sharp nose, full lips, high cheekbones, hazel eyes and a bright smile.

“Hi, I can’t find the cafeteria” I finally answered hoping she didn’t notice that i was staring at her for too long.

“Let’s walk together then, i’ll show you” She said and i nodded while we walked side by side.

“I don’t want to seem weird but you’re so beautiful” she said to me and a silly smile appeared on my face.

“Yes yes coming from someone as gorgeous as you” I responded between chuckles

“Oh come on, you’re attractive as fuck and don’t think that baseball cap is going to hide that face, i’m Hailey by the way, i started going here last semester before summer”

“I’m louis, i’m new here”

“Louis? your name suits you” She said when we finally arrived at the cafeteria. “Why don’t you come sit with me and my friends?”

“Is that okay? do you think they won’t mind?”

“Of course, my friend’s are chill although they’re dumb, they’re cool, really”

I nodded following her and walking past hungry teenagers standing in line in hopes to get food that looked like it was half gone.

The cafeteria was huge, painted with white walls and a drawing of flowers on some parts. There were round milk coloured tables that could contain at leas six or seven people at one side and brown coloured tables at the other side. I took a glimpse on the table and couldn’t even find any sort of pen inks untill i noticed one and tried to follow the intricate pattern carved into it while students flooded into the cafeteria even more.

Hailey finally got to their table while it seemed like i was hiding behind her and peeked a little to see a guy furiously typing into his phone.

“You dimwit, stop texting her jeez, this is probably why she wants to break up with you, you’re obsessed with her” Hailey said to the boy with messy blonde hair before he looked up at her, his eyes as bright as the ocean and a little scar underneath his eyes, his sharp jawline looking like it could cut me into half if i don’t look away.

He’s a fine man.

“Louis, this is Tyler and Tyler this is louis” Tyler got up moving towards me and pulling me in for a bro hug, i’ll never get used to that.

“Nice to meet you man, i’m gonna go get food” He said walking past me with an exasperated sigh

“Ignore him, his girlfriend is pissed at him and he won’t stop texting and calling her and you probably won’t get to meet her ‘cause she can’t stand the sight of him right now” Hailey explained ushering me to take a seat while she went to get food.

I should probably go get something to eat soon, maybe an apple? or a sandwich, anything that won’t make my face puffy tomorrow morning.

I managed to get past some students and took a line and it continued moving forward till it got to my turn.

“I’ll have an orange juice and a veggie sandwich, an apple too please” I said to the woman behind the glass cubicles, she gave me a small smile placing what i wanted on a tray and handing it to me.

I started walking back to the table Hailey had showed me and it wasn’t like before, not empty but with six people seated and chit chatting, if i went there right now i’d be the centre of attention and also every other student were already sitting down and i was probably one of the only few people standing right now.

i’ll make a run for it, eat in my room although it’s not allowed, everyone is too busy to notice anyway.

“Louis!!!” I heard Hailey call and i almost wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

I walked back to the table sitting down awkwardly and i could feel their eyes on me.

“Guys, meet louis, he started this semester” Hailey said and i looked at the people sitting beside and in front of me.

“Nice to meet y’all” I said while they practically gawked at me.

“see? i told y’all he was pretty” Hailey said with a smile.

“I’m Mark” The boy with doe eyes and Silver hair with few strands falling on his face said, i didn’t know students could dye their hair or maybe it’s just the actual colour of his hair?

“My name’s Tanya, the colour of the lip gloss suits you so well by the way, chapped lips is never a good look” She seemed bubbly and funny, they definitely let students dye their hair ‘cause she has black hair and has some parts of them dyed blonde and it looked great. She had blue eyes and her skin was a little pale, she’s really pretty.

“When Hailey said you were pretty, I thought you looked average but i’m shocked and you seem oddly familiar, i’m Tessa. It’s really nice to meet you” The brown haired girl said, she had this bangs and she looked really cute.

I gave her a small smile because i didn’t know what to say, my eyes stopped at the caramel skin boy who looked exactly Hailey, i looked between them and he chuckled.

“I’m Hayden, Hailey’s twin. it’s easy to tell” They both looked exactly the same, he’s just Hailey without the long hair. He had a buzz cut with waves.

I could tell who is who immediately, i’ve already met Tyler and he seems to be distant right now.

“This isn’t all of us though, Kelvin isn’t back yet, you’ll get to meet him tomorrow” Tanya said

Kelvin?

“He legit got sexier over the summer and he got a tattoo on his pelvic area and not to forget we both got a tongue piercing this summer, mine still hurts though” Tessa added while Tyler glared at her

“Is he your boyfriend?” I asked Tessa and everyone suddenly went quiet before they burst into laughter except Tyler who probably didn’t find it funny.

“Of course not, the douchebag sitting beside me is my boyfriend” Tessa said giving Tyler a side eye and i almost groaned, i thought he was single and i kind of had my eye on him, well- bummer.

“Lisa definitely messed up when she dumped kelvin, half of the school wants him and let’s not pretend that some guys even find him attractive and always tried to make a move on him. It’s like immediately she dumped him, kelvin completely changed. He became hotter and even got an eyebrow piercing, he sent me a shirtless pic as well, he freaking has an eight pack” Tanya said almost in a dreamy way.

“Y’all are so shameless, drooling over my best friend” Tyler said chuckling

“Well if you looked half as good as him, maybe we’ll drool over you” Tessa said to piss him off and everyone at the table laughed quietly including me.

“Everyone knows i look better than kelvin” Tyler added and Tanya fake gagged.

“You honestly don’t wanna say that when people other than us are around, you look like a country bumpkin and nowhere half as handsome as Kelvin” Tanya said laughing and Tessa joined her in teasing Tyler.

If they could say that Tyler didn’t look half as good as kelvin then that intrigued me and i became curious to know what he looked like.

Who the hell is this kelvin dude and why can’t they shut up about him?
