New Guy

Chapter 5

Harry's POV:

We have a coffee then I reckon I should go, "Well I guess I'll head off too, Eleanor. It was nice meeting you and Louis!"

"Oh, ok. Nice meeting you too!" She replies, smiling.

I walk out of the room expecting everything to be perfectly normal but as I turn a corner it's completely the opposite.

Zayn and another boy are having a fist fight and another girl has...who is that....Nicola pinned to the locker.

Oh great. Just great.

"Shit! It's Styles!" Zayn mumbles under his breath but keeps fighting, "You're going down Justin!"

Oh, Justin. I was warned about Justin and that must be his girlfriend, Perrie. I immediately walk to the girls and pull Perrie off Nicola, who rubs her cheek, which is bleeding.

"Are you ok?" I ask her, somehow forgetting about Perrie, who has picked up her stuff and left.

"Yeah...I guess..." Nicola says, going through her bag to pull out a tissue she puts on the bleeding part of her cheek.

"You want something for that?" I ask.

"No..but...crap!" She slowly runs over to Zayn and Justin and screams as loud and as high pitched as he can, which makes the boys stop fighting and everyone else cover their ears.

Niall, Liam, Thalia and Nina run over to check if everything's alright, which it isn't. But at least the boys have stopped fighting.

Niall and Thalia run over to Nicola once she's finished screaming and Niall wraps his arms around her while Thalia makes sure she's okay. Liam gets and helps Zayn up while Nina just watches.

I sort out the boys (which is NOT easy) and put them both on detention for a week, while Nicola's friends sort her out.

Thalia's POV:

"What the hell happened to you?! Are you alright?!" I ask Nicola, demanding the truth. She knows me, I love all my friends and need them to be fine.

"Nothing, I'm fine..." She says, but her voice is shaky.

"No! Nicola, you can tell me anything and everything. I'm your best friend and I need to know whether you are ACTUALLY okay or not!" Niall says.

"I-I-I don't know! I mean it hurts and all but I'm not gonna die!" Nicola answers, trying to forget about it.

"Year nine all over again..." I mumble, remembering the past events.

"You can say that again..." Niall mumbles back, as we both hug Nicola.

Zayn's POV:

With great bad-boyness comes great responsibilty...I think to myself as the bell rings after my final lesson, art, and everyone except me rushes out of the room. Detention sucks, I don't wanna go.

I try and avoid any eye contact with people as I slide my hoodie over my head and walk to Styles' room.

I spot Justin on the way there and give him the finger. He shoots it right back at me and I wonder how we were ever friends before the 9th grade.

I've started to notice how....how...soft Styles is being with Nicola. Like, earlier on today, he walked straight past me and Justin, to help her. And I clearly saw him smile at her when he walked in the first time. I wonder what's going on with that....

Justin's POV:

That idiot, Zayn, thinks he's a hot bad boy that everyone loves and envies but I think he's just an insecure kid who tries to cover up for his problems by acting all tough and shit like that.

He's the real one that got me on detention. Meh. Who gives? I'm used to detention. It's my home away from home. And then there's pathetic, little Nicola.

She likes to act like a smart-ass to get attention and then when she gets the kind of attention she doesn't want, she acts like is wasn't her fault and she's all innocent. Bloody hell. The people at our school.

As I walk in the room, Zayn's already there, talking to that weird teacher. Well, the teacher's talking and Zayn is sitting there not listening.

"Take a seat, Justin" Mr. Styles says. I doubt that's even his real name. 'Mr. Styles' pppffff, yeah right!

After a too-long and boring time at detention, Mr. Styles leaves and tells us we can go home too. We get up and go opposite ways out of the room.

Nicola's POV:

I decided to stay back and wait for Zayn, so I could talk to him but it's been SOOO long and I'm about to get going when Justin walks out of the door. We are the only three people at the school right now, and it's me and Justin alone together. REALLY?!

I slide my hoodie over my head and pretend not to see him, but of course he walks over and starts up.

"What are you doing here? Waiting for your 'boyfriend' to get out of detention?"

I flip him the bird without looking up. I just keep listening to music. He pushes me against the wall.

"Oh come on Justin! Is this the only thing you can think of? Pushing me against a wall? Is it like a trend or something where you come from?" I ask being smart, knowing I'm pushing the boundaries.

"Oh, so you want something new, do you?" He asks, obviously a threat.

"Well as a matter of fact, I'm quite bored."

He throws me to the ground and kicks me in the stomach as hard as he can, just as Zayn walks out of the building. He immediately runs over here, pushes Justin on the floor, picks me up and runs away.

Zayn's POV:

"Nicola?! What are you doing here?!"

I ask, making sure she's okay at the same time, which she isn't. She has a bruise and a cut on her cheek from earlier on today and she can't stop coughing so I help her out and give her some of my water.

"I just needed to talk to you..." She coughs again, "Just...thanks....and I really mean this next part. Thanks for everything you've ever done for me and STOP GETTING YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE OVER ME! I don't like it! If I get hurt, who cares?! But I don't want you getting hurt over me!"

"Well...you're welcome..? And you're my friend. I might not act like it ALL the time, like Niall does but I'm still here for you so yes, yes I am going to help you when you need it and don't expect me not to. Now we should probably get back home or we'll be in even more trouble from our own parents!"

Overly protective Zayn is overly protective much? Anyway lots of violence! OOHH! Hope you liked it anyway :p thanks for readingggg :D Xx
