Louis' pov

Monday morning and i still don't know what my roomate looks like 'cause i haven't even seen him. It's not as though i'm scared to stay alone in a huge room, i just really wanted company, someone to interact with and talk about how crazy my first day at school turned out.

I heard the school bell go off and i looked at myself one more time in the mirror satisfied with my appearance. I did a side part on my hair and then gelled the back and it was absolutely giving what it was supposed to give.

Every student has to attend the usual orientation then afterwards head to the cafeteria for breakfast, Hailey mentioned it to me yesterday when we were done with dinner.

She's really helpful and i got to understand how the school works so i'm hoping my first day isn't shitty.

I finally found the school hall walking in alongside other students, i took a seat on the fifth row looking around for Hailey or any of the people i sat with at dinner, they were probably running late.

I finally found Hailey in the crowd looking around for a seat before our eyes met and i waved her over.

"Hey stranger" she greeted taking a seat beside me. "I think you're one of the few people who genuinely know how to rock a uniform, how does it look so good on you?"

"I made a few adjustments" I said with a smile and she returned it taking her phone out.

"Good grief, this whole orientation thing is going to take thirty minutes or more and i'm starving"

"Do you want a fruit bar?" I asked taking out the fruit bar i saved for later, i wasn't really hungry.

"You're a life saver, thank you. Have you checked the classes you have? i really hope we have at least one class together"

"No not yet, i'm supposed to meet the dean afterwards for it and i'm yet to get a locker. That reminds me, i haven't seen my roommate since i got here, isn't he coming?"

"What's your room number?"

"108"

"Awwwwn, that's a single room. Everyone who used that room never had a roommate" The colour drained from my face

"Why's that?"

"Nobody really knows but i think it's mainly for kids who don't wanna share a room, maybe your parents asked them to give you a single room, did you confirm from them?"

"Parents are so annoying sometimes, why would they request for a single room when i didn't ask for it?"

"I'm really sorry but look on the bright side, we can all hangout in your room, all of us"  I smiled upon hearing that, maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

"I just have to tell them to get rid of the other bed or both of them and give me a bigger one"

"orrrrrr you can leave it, incase you get a partner and they want to spend the night, they might be a tad bit uncomfortable to lay in the same bed with you, eh?" I laughed quietly at how she was already talking about things that would probably never happen and i loved the fact that she used the word 'Partner' than saying a 'girlfriend'.

"I guess you're not wrong"

"Also, Kelvin is in school currently. He came back this morning"

"Oh yeah, the amazing kelvin everyone couldn't shut up about" I said and we both chuckled

"Well yes, he's so hot but i don't swing that way"

"Oh" I didn't know what else to say 'cause i was a little surprised

"You seem shocked, why? do i give off straight girl vibes 'cause there's nothing straight about me. I love women"

"You're very open and straightforward or gay forward?" that was a bad joke but she laughed anyway.

"It's funny how i'm actually really comfortable talking to you even if we just met yesterday, you're comfortable to be around and trust me you won't last a week before everyone wants a taste of you and i mean 'Everyone'"

I couldn't tell how much i had laughed while we both talked, i don't even think i've laughed this much since ever. I loved how she was comfortable talking about herself and how she seemed to boost my own confidence with how much she complimented me and tried to make me feel relaxed.

"Haaaa called it, look to the side slowly , that group is gawking at you, i'm sure your side profile is to die for ‘cause i’m getting a good view myself” Hailey said making me blush before i slowly turned to the side to actually find two guys and a girl staring at me before i looked to the back pretending i wasn't looking at them.

"I can't count how many times i've blushed this morning" I said to her while she smiled at me.

The hall was filled with students that i couldn't count and i'm sure if you looked form upstairs, we'd look like ants, definitely.

A middle aged woman walked past the middle of the hall that divided the students and where everywhere sat in black heels, her hair was carefully resting on her shoulders and you could feel her intimidating aura.

She didn't even bother to smile or respond to the student's greetings and she walked towards the stairs to the stage and stood over a podium.

"Students of the Elite Academy, welcome to this new semester ,and i'm sure you all enjoyed your summer. I’m principal Murray”

I totally forgot the name of the school.

Most students answered while others couldn't bother looking at her and remained on their phones.

"I'll step on your phones if i catch you with them" The woman said and it was as if the phones i could see earlier had disappeared.

Her impact.

"This new semester will be tougher than any other because it seems your parents think this school is a place where rebellious teenagers should be thrown into, i'll have you all know that my presence here will change the whole situation even better than last semester. It's either you follow the school rules or you get sent home, i won't have to keep up with your irresponsible behaviours just because your parents could. That being said, last semester we had a few turmoils between the music and drama club and we've created a new room for the music club, if you're in the music club, avoid going to the auditorium to annoy the drama clubs members 'cause if you're reported for that, i'll have you digging a tunnel for a week and you all know i don't go back on my words"

Ughhhhmmm-

"If you miss a class or turn up late, your demerits will increase by five percent, if you're called out for disrupting the class, you'll get a demerit and detention unless your teacher decides to let it slide."

"We have also ensured a better environment for you all, all the beds in the dorms were changed, the walls were repainted, the furnitures were replaced including in your various classes. New menus have been added as well, the student councils made a request for more baked products, protein shakes and whatnot and they've all been provided and of course there are certain days you won't get to eat them"

"The head boy and head girl have been replaced as well because they've always proven to us that they hated their jobs and always took it for granted so i've decided to appoint a new head boy and girl."

"Claire Lambert and Daniel Lopez, please join me on the stage"

The students who she mentioned hurriedly joined her on stage and i won't lie, they looked a little scared standing close to her.

"They've been appointed by me so i believe you know what that means, respect them!!. They'll have reports sent to me and if you happen to be one of those kids that enjoy messing around with people, you'll have me to answer to. If you're a bully, i suggest you retire from being that, i won't hesitate to suspend you if i find you out"

"That's what she says and yet Ted Brown is all up in our faces" Hailey whispered to me then turned away to focus on the principal.

"That'll be all for now, if you started going here this semester, please meet the dean for every other thing you need, Thank you."

Principal Murray finished walking out while the other teachers followed her and finally everyone could breath.

"Damn she scare the hell out of me, what's it gonna take for that woman to smile" Hailey said sighing while we headed out for the cafeteria.

I think all that intimidating aura i felt from principal Murray made me nauseous and hungry.

"I'll get food for you, you can sit and wait 'cause you look like you're gonna pass out, what do you want" i let a tired sigh escape from my mouth when Hailey decided to get me food while i waited for her at the table, alone.

"Orange juice, veggie sandwich and an apple"

"Louis, that's the exact same thing you had yesterday for dinner, don't you want something else? like pancakes with strawberry and whipped cream on top? scrambled eggs and bacon? a salad?

"The cafeteria has those things?" i asked surprisingly

"Of course silly, you know what? sit back and relax? i know exactly what that pretty face needs" she said poking my cheeks and walking off to join the line.

I took out my phone expecting a message or a call at least from my parents, they didn't even bother to know if i was doing okay.

"Hey pretty boy" Oh God no, even though i just came here yesterday, Hailey mentioned this Ted kid who enjoyed watching other people suffer, basically he was a bully and you could tell by those rough hands and those scars on his right cheek that he fights a lot.

He's sitting right in front of me and i know it's not gonna be good, it's never good when a bully takes interest in you, he probably thinks he's found fresh meat to pounce on but i'm not his guy at all.

"I think you lost your way, do i know you?"

"Ohh the new kid has an attitude, i'm Ted and you seem to be fitting in perfectly, you're already friends with the popular kids eh?"

"What's that got to do with you? do you love being noticed?"

"excuse me? i don't think you should be speaking to me that way, i'm a lot bigger than you and i can pull you down in a second"

"why? do you want to be on top of me so bad?"

"fuck off weirdo" I flinched when he slammed his hand on the table and i'm sure some students noticed too, i won't lie, i was scared when he got up 'cause i thought he was actually going to pin me down.

"I see you've met Ted, that fat head" I felt relieved when i saw Tanya. "are you okay though? ignore him, he loves attention and i don't get why Murray hasn't done anything about him, he's such a nuisance"

"Does he do that to every new person? tries to intimidate them?"

"Yea and if you act like a weakling in front of him, he'll never leave you alone so i'm glad you handled that pretty well"

"Thankfully. Where's everyone else?"

"I don't know but i'm sure Tyler and Tessa are probably eating their face somewhere"

Tyler.

I don't really have a type but i do love a handsome face, a good sense of humour, nice teeth, nice eyes, cute smile, nice skin, someone who smells nice that you just wanna curl up with them, an athletic body,

i just realised that i actually have a type and Tyler fits into all of these perfectly, i don't know if he actually smells nice 'cause i haven't been around him or gotten closer to him to know that and it'd be weird if i do that, i don't want them to think i'm weird.

It's sad he's dating but it's sadder because i probably wouldn't have had a shot with him anyways but i'd have loved to try but i'm not one to go after someone else's boyfriend but i do know how to make someone fall for me.

Hidden in all this cuteness people think and assume of me, i'm actually the opposite, i'm confident in myself and i go after something i want if it's not off limits.

I'm a flirt, i love being desired by someone, anyone at all, i love to think that someone finds me attractive and wants me, it boosts my confidence and makes me love myself even more.

My parents do think i'm some innocent eighteen year old who's just been in his room all his life solving math problems and playing who wants to be a millionaire all day, they'd never think i've dated two guys in the span of a year and got intimate with one of them when i turned eighteen.

Chad.

Jack.

A lot of people look at gay men and they're like we'd never be able to pull other guys who are straight, both Chad and Jack were straight and i pulled them anyways, i have this charm that they couldn't resist and they mentioned it to me several times and maybe even if i was the one who called off both relationships because it wasn't working out, they never stopped calling to check up on me.

There's this gross mentality people have, they portray most gay people as desperate because they think we want a relationship so bad and want to be loved so bad, they think we'd jump into anything just because we want to get laid, they think because we're gay then we want to sleep with every man on earth.

We have standards too, we have our types and we don't desire all men.

"Sorry I took so long, i didn't think everyone would want to meet the Dean even without getting breakfast" 

This voice- i followed the movement of the owner who the voice belonged to while he dropped his bag on the table and took a seat in front of me, our eyes meeting-

"I don't think i've seen you before, my name's Kelvin"

Oh.
