new at school

chapter 6

~POV Louis~

I look at matilda and we run to them. Niall isn't that bad or something. He is nice. We walk to sports with them and niall comes to matilda and I. "You laughed," niall says proud. "No, I did not," I tell him. "I bet you did," he says, walking to Liam.

We have to sit with our duo so I sit with my bestie, Harry! Yay! I'm just kidding. I hate him. A lot. "I thought you said I said sorry!" He tells me. "I did, and niall just didn't buy it," I tell him. Niall walks to the teacher, and Harry looks worried.

"Why so worried?" I ask him with a grin. "Shut up," he just tells me. Niall comes to us along with Zayn and matilda. "What's wrong, niall?" Harry asks more worried than he seemed. "My knee hurts, so i need to take it slow again," he answers. "What about football?" Zayn asks. "I'll be at training, but I can't play. The doctor said if I did, I couldn't play at all anymore after a while," niall says sadly. He lays his head against Liams shoulder.

"Now we can't play any games anymore!" Zayn complains. "How much more people do we even need?" Niall asks Harry since he is captain probably. "Well, with you gone 1," Harry says. "I can play," I suggest. "Yeah, right," Harry says. "Let him proof himself haz!" Niall says a little annoyed.

~POV Niall~

I want Louis to fit in, I know what it is like to not fit in. Believe me, it is not fun! Besides, Harry bullied me too, but then I got with Liam, and he apologized, but I am not sure if I ever forgave him. Maybe I still blame him sometimes, and is this my way of getting back on Harry? Yes, he is my best friend now, but I am just not sure.

~After school~
~POV Louis~

I come home since Harry didn't want me at his football practice. I brought matilda with me. I am not grounded anymore. "Hey, pheebs, how was your day?" I ask phoebe. "Fine," she says. After a while, the doorbell rings so Fizzy opens it. Niall walks to me, and he looks hopeless.

"You okay?" Matilda asks a little too worriedly. He shakes his head, and we walk to him. "What's wrong?" I ask him. He gets a phone call but hangs up pretty fast. He didn't even answer it. "Tell us what is going on?" Matilda asks. "I just saw my real dad again. Don't tell anyone, tho," he says so shaky. I look at matilda, but she is just pissed.

"You weren't at your own house, so I figured you'd be here. I am sorry I left you," niall says, crying. He hugs matilda tight. "Wait, you were friends?" I ask, and they nod. "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask. "It wasn't necessary anymore. Besides, if I told anyone I'd be dead," matilda says. "I don't even know if I forgave him," niall says.
