Poison
Chapter 3
Gennys POV
"Alright class take your seats," the portly old man says from the front of the classroom. I stand awkwardly up front, waiting to see where an open seat is. He turns his beady eyes to me and looks me up and down.
"Genevieve Gates I assume," he says with barely concealed distaste. I nod my head politely.
"Alright class who doesn't have a lab partner and needs one?" He shouts. I notice as a few curious glances move my way and try not to shift uncomfortably. I scan the class and notice the curly haired boy from earlier-harry-looking at me with a smirk. I shoot him a glare and he turns to the blonde boy next to him and whispers something.
"Uh I don't have a partner, Mr. Colin," a boy near the back of the room shouts with a raised hand.
"Aren't you partners with Adam?" The teacher says suspiciously.
"I don't know," the boy says sarcastically. "Adam," he turns to a boy sitting behind him, "are we lab partners?"
"I don't believe so Lou," the guy names Adam says with a wink.
"Mhm..." The professor says suspiciously. "Genevieve your partners with Louis."
I walk silently back to the table and Louis smiles brightly at me. His blue eye twinkle as I sit down.
"Genevieve is it?" He asks politely.
"Genny," I say with a smile. So far he's the only person that's been halfway decent to me.
"Louis," he says, introducing himself.
"It's a pleasure," I say with a genuine smile. Finally a nice guy at this place who doesn't have tattoos and call me Barbie.
"The pleasures all mine," Louis says jokingly with a wink.
I laugh slightly and turn my attention to the lecture.
About halfway through the class, something hits my back. I turn to see what it was and see Harry smiling cheekily at me, he points to the ground behind me. I look and see a small folded piece of paper. I pick it up, what I'm curious? And turn back around in my seat.
Louis gives me a questioning glance and I smile brightly.
When he turns away I slowly open the paper.
I can give you something pretty boy can't, Barbie ;)
I roll my eyes and scoff in disgust. Why does he keep harassing me! And what's with calling me Barbie because that's seriously getting annoying. I've known this ass for all of an hour and I already want to kill him.
"May I go to the rest room!" I ask politely. Mr. Colin looks at me with distaste but let's me go. I rush out of the classroom and down the barren hallway. My heels click on the cheap linoleum floor.
"Wait up love," a voice calls out behind me. I turn and see the blonde boy who was sitting next to Harry jogging to catch up with me. I look at him curiously.
"I'm Niall," he says with a friendly grin.
"Genny," I say hesitantly.
"Where ya headed Genny?" Niall asks kindly. He seems nice enough...
"I have to make a phone call," I mutter vaguely.
I look at him and his eyebrows are raised as we walk down the hall. "Who do you need to be calling, it's first period?"
"I um..." I struggle to come up with an excuse. I can't tell him that I'm calling my grandmothers head of security to come pick me up because.. Well... Because I'm scared... "My dad wanted me to check in. New school and all."
He nods his head, accepting my answer. "Is your dad the guy who dropped you off this morning? In the black Benz?"
He thinks Carlson is my dad? Ew... "Uh yeah.." I mutter as we walk slowly down the hall.
"Pretty nice car," he says curiously. "Kinda gives off a first impression."
"What do you mean?" I ask with curiosity.
"Well everyone knows you as the rich girl now," he says sheepishly. He's kind of cute... No stop he's not your type.
"I guess so," I mumble as Niall pushes open the door for me to go outside.
"Thanks," I say graciously and hurry out into the cold air.
I pull out my phone and begin to call Carlson, I really want him to come get me.. Niall is looking at me curiously though so I can't.
I hit call and he picks up on the second ring.
"Hello miss, is everything alright?" Carlsons serious voice travels through the phone.
"Oh yeah dad everything's great," I say with fake happiness.
"Do you want me to come get you?" Carlson asks with a chuckle, having an idea as to what's going on.
"That'd be great actually," I say. Why won't Niall just leave omg.
"Do you need me to come get you?" He puts emphasis on the word need.
I groan internally and Niall pulls out a cigarette.
"I suppose not.." I sigh. "See ya later." I say and hang up the phone.
Niall turns to me and puffs out smoke. I wrinkle my nose. "You know that's bad for you right?" I say sassily.
He laughs, "It's London love, not the moon. Of course I know its bad for me. But so are a lot of things," he whispers the last part and a shiver runs up my spine. At that moment the bell rings.

Why Louis?? Couldn't you sense her uncertainty?
