Today is the day...

The very first day of high school! How exciting right? Wrong.

Harry had been dreading this the second their last day of middle school had ended. He didn't want to go to high school, there were so many other kids and he just felt like the outsider to all of them.

He was still so underweight and small, he knew that walking the halls would be intimidating and people would be towering over him.

He still had to go regardless though, so he just prepared himself as best as he possibly could.

That was another thing, he had barely spoken to Louis all summer.

He spent one day with him, but that was the day after school let out and he had barely paid attention to Harry at all. What he had wanted to do was play video games, talk about Eleanor, and soccer. Those were all things Harry was not the best at. So he had ended up just sitting there the whole time, not saying much or really even listening.

That had made Harry realize, maybe he and Louis just didn't have anything in common anymore. Being on the soccer team, Louis had slowly made more and more friends. Which, had caused him to become more popular.

So Harry had kind of been left in the dust...unintentionally to Louis of course, but Harry didn't know that. For all Harry knew he deserved it and it was going to happen to him eventually anyways.

So that was the cherry on top of everything, Harry felt abandoned.

Harry got ready that morning, dreading this so much. He knew his bullies had probably gotten stronger and meaner over the summer break.

He had just stayed the same, if anything he'd gotten smaller and weaker...

Anne drove him to school and he got out, he waved to her gently and she blew him a kiss.

With that he walked inside, having the paper with his locker number and his schedule in his hands. As he walked, he felt intimidated and shy. Upperclassmen walked by and it felt like they were mountains above him. On some of them, his height probably only came up to a little bit above their hips.

That's how tall they were.

On top of it all, he couldn't find where anything was. Poor baby was just walking around feeling aimless. All he needed to do was get to his locker number and to his first period but he couldn't even do that.

He started to panic when the tardy bell rang, kids started to filter out of the halls and into their classrooms.

He was the only one left in the hallways. He was about to go to the office when he heard loud obnoxious voices behind him. He knew exactly who these people were though.

The same kids had been bullying him ever since middle school. They called him a bunch of names. Most of them were about his hypopituitarism, but some of them were about him being gay.

He heard this nickname constantly. "Hey fag! What're you doing rushing around like that?" The boy who lead most of the bullying, Connor shouted.

Harry huffed, perfect...this was just what he needed, shit from this airhead. "What do you want Connor?" Harry asked, turning around with the paper in his hand. He was already frustrated with how the morning was going, but on top of that Connor was really pissing him off.
