Unexpected love

First day of high school

The sun was doing its best to wake up the day as Harry, Niall, and Liam strolled toward the new school year. High school. It was like the sequel to middle school, but with bigger lockers and crazier stories.

"Can you even believe we're here?" Niall blurted out, his voice oozing excitement. 

Liam chuckled. "Feels like we were causing chaos in those crowded hallways not too long ago."

"Absolutely," Harry chimed in, fixing his hair while casting a glance at the school entrance.

Niall playfully slapped Harry on the back. "Take it easy, Harry. We've got this."

They stepped into the school, and it was a total whirlwind of people, lockers banging and chatter that echoed through the halls. Harry's heart did a little dance – part excitement, part nervousness, all mixed up.

Liam clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Ready to rock this place, Styles?"

Harry nodded "Absolutely."

The three of them strutted through the hallways like they owned the joint, earning a mix of impressed looks and raised eyebrows. Harry felt his nerves start to fade as he fed off his friends' energy.

"Hey, newbies!" someone called out. Harry turned to see a girl with a bright smile heading their way.

Niall shot her a grin. "Yeah, that's us."

She laughed. "I'm Jess. Welcome to this very crazy school"

"Thanks, Jess," Harry replied, trying to play it cool but failing miserably.

Jess leaned in, lowering her voice. "Just a tip - steer clear of Louis and Zayn. They're like the kings of the school, and they don't share their throne."

Harry exchanged a glance with Niall and Liam, a challenge gleaming in his eyes. "Noted. Thanks, Jess."

As they continued down the hallway, Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within him. High school was about to get a whole lot more interesting.
