September....

The start of a new school year had arrived. Harry, Niall and Asa were now in year one, Louis, zayn and Liam were in year two.

Year ones new teacher was Mr Sheeran. A small man with ginger hair and glasses. Miss Grande still helped with Harry though, much to his relief.

Year two's teacher was Miss Pinnock.

Harry was excited to get back to school with his friends. He had missed Miss Grande too.

"Hello Harry. Good to see you. How was your summer?" Ariana asked as Harry wandered into the classroom.

"Good. Thank you Miss." He said, quietly.

"Excellent. Go take a seat. I'll be over shortly."

Harry went and found the seat with his name on. Niall sat one side, Asa was on the other side, opposite him. The empty seat next to him was for Ariana.

"Morning everyone. I'm Mr Sheeran. I'm going to take the register now.  If you can stand up when I call your name, then I can see who's who."

He took the register and then the lesson started.

Harry noticed two new boys in the class that weren't there last year. Their names were Michael and Luke. They sat on the table behind Harry.

Niall turned around to the boys. "Hi. I'm Niall." He said as he tapped one of them on the back.

The boys also turned around. "I'm Michael. This is Luke."

"You're new?" Niall asked.

"Duh yeah!" Luke replied.

"Um. Ok." Was all Niall could reply as Luke's response made him nervous.

"What's that on his head?" Michael asked, staring at the back of Harry's head.

Harry tensed up.

"He couldn't hear properly. They help him." Niall replied.

"Urgh. Looks horrible. I bet his face is ugly too." Michael said, and both both laughed.

"Don't say that! He's not ugly. Leave him alone." Niall said as he turned back around. He looked to his side and saw Harry was crying.

"Don't listen to them Harry. They're nasty."

Harry put his head on top of his arms that were folded on the table. He cried quietly for the next ten minutes.

"Harry? What's wrong?" Ariana asked as she sat beside him.

"Those boys were being nasty Miss." Niall replied on his behalf.

"The new boys? Don't worry, I'll talk to them. They just don't know your situation." She said, getting up from her seat and sitting between the new boys.

"You...you shouldn't teld her Ni."

"Why? She'll stop them being nasty again."

Harry said no more and put his head back down.

Ariana sat back down. "I've told them to be nice ok?" She said as she rubbed Harry's back. She felt him shuddering from crying.

"Harry. Don't cry. It's ok now."

It took a while before Harry had calmed down, and he went back to colouring his flower picture.

It was break time and Harry was sat with Niall on a bench in the corner of the playground.

"Do you want to play something?" Niall asked. Harry shook his head. His shoulders slumped and he looked miserable.
