And that only took twenty minutes. Hair is curled. Outfit is okay. I don't know why I'm so energetic today, I'm going to school. Maybe it's because Mr Thompson, the principal, told me that there were going to be five new kids coming. I'm like a little baby but I'm in twelfth grade.
"Good morning Martha," I say, grabbing an apple off the counter. She gives me a warm smile. Martha is like my grandma. She's a living-in maid at my house. I should explain everything but I'm going to be late for school.
I hop into my car and pull out of my luxurious house. It was fairly big but that's not cheap in New York. Currently, it is April and it's getting warm. I love warm weather. I turn on the ignition and begin my ten minute journey to school.
Since I'm valedictorian, I get my own reserved parking spot which honestly saves me so much time," good morning beautiful," Adam smirks, opening my door so I can walk out. Adam and I are on weird terms. We dated but I found out he was using me and it was back and fourth.
"Morning," I fake smile before walking into the school. I'm trying to avoid him as much as possible. "Hey Olivia. I had another encounter with Mr Pit Sweat."
She gasps," but I thought he never wanted to talk to you again."
"And I thought that too but he just called me beautiful," I explain. "I am so done with boys. I can't wait till the summer time when I leave this place and go to Stanford."
"You're going to do great there," she smiles.
All of a sudden, the hall doors bust open with a really loud noise. Five guys are walking through them, tall and proud... Also in slow motion. Do they know this is real life and not a movie? They all looked... Older with lots of tattoos. Except the blonde one which is kind of cute.
All five of them walk into the main office," they look intimidating," Olivia says. "But I call dibs on all of them. Maybe I could have a five-some."
I laugh. Olivia is my best friend of all eternity. She brings out the wild side in me," PHOEBE!" Mr Thompson yells. There is a loudspeaker for a reason.
"That's my cue," I say, making my way into the main office. I spend most of my time in the main office actually. I do quite a few things for the school. That's why everybody asks me what's going to happen. "Morning Mr Thompson."
"Good morning Phoebe," he greets. The same five guys were standing there, staring at me like a deer in headlights... Is that how you say it? I'm not really sure. "Guys, meet Phoebe Grayson. She is in the same grade as you and this year's valedictorian."
"Smart ass," one of them scoffs. How rude. At least it wasn't the blonde one.
"Phoebe, meet Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles. All of them were in a band and they've just finished their world tour. They've come here to finish school. Be kind to them," Mr Thompson says before I give him a fake smile.
"So she's going to be our tour guide?" Harry asks as Mr Thompson nods. "Sweet."
Was that a compliment? I think so. "Well... Welcome to Lincoln High school," I say, leading them outside into the hallways. "I have to stop by my locker real fast."
It was right across the office so it's not far. All five of them just surrounded me like they were my bodyguards," Phoebe!" Adam yells, shoving the guys away so he can see me. Okay, I need bodyguards for real now.
"What do you want, Adam?" I ask. "I really don't want to deal with your bullshit right now."
The guys were surprised when I cursed. I'm seventeen for crying out loud," I just wanted to say I miss you. Can we go out on a quick walk right now?" he says.
"I'm busy," I proclaim, closing my locker.
Adam grasps my arm tightly as I froze," don't be like that, Bea (pronounced bee)."
"Mate, she said she's busy," Harry says. Mate? They're British! That makes them ten times cuter. Adam scowls before letting go of me and giving a small push towards Harry. Harry looked like he was going to punch Adam or something but I quickly grabbed both of his arms.
"Please don't," I say to him. Harry is still in a staring contest with Adam but he looks away. He pushes my hands off before walking away. This is his first day too. Way to ruin it Adam.
"Don't worry about him love, he's got anger issues," Niall says. The blonde. His voice sounds perfect. He's gorgeous. But something about Harry is very interesting.
"Can I see your papers?" I ask, changing the subjects. The four of them hand me their schedules. "Okay, well, your lockers are all to the left of mine. They're in order as well."
I give them a couple of minutes to try out their locks and combinations. I laughed when Louis messed up a couple times," you guys say 'okay' and 'well' a lot, did you know that?" Liam asks, standing next to me. Is he the smart one? I'm dying to know the smart one.
"Welcome to America my friend," I smile as he does too. "I'm curious, how old are all of you?"
"Niall, Harry and I are 21. Zayn is 22. And Louis is 23," he says as my jaw drops.
"Then why are you in high school? You should be in college," I suggest.
He laughs," we dropped out of high school for the band. Might as well finish high school. And how old are you shorty?"
I roll my eyes," I'm seventeen, turning eighteen next month."
"Ah, still a teenager," he says. I'm done with this one, he makes me roll my eyes a lot.

Later that day, it was lunch time and I was sat at my regular table outside. The sun was shining and there was a slight breeze. That's what weather should always be like. I'm typing away on my laptop before a figure sits down in front of me," busy?" Harry asks.
I look at him before closing my laptop screen," kind of. I missed my U.S. government class this morning because I had to show you around but Olivia texted me that Chelsea texted her saying there was a paper due soon and I have to start it-"
"Okay, you could've said yes," he cuts in. "And what classes are you taking Miss Valedictorian?"
"I'm taking AP classes," I say as his eyebrows wiggle. "It stands for advanced placement. They're just classes that provide a college curriculum and give exams like a college would. They're harder classes but look great on your college applications."
"Jesus, you have everything planned, don't you?" he asks as I nod.
There was an awkward silence before I say," uh, thanks for sticking up for me today. It's not really sticking up but just defending me in front of Adam. I know you wanted to punch him but today's your first day and I didn't want to cause any trouble because that will go on your record and-"
He sighs," one day of school and I meet a smart ass chatterbox."
With that, he stands up and walks away. I'm getting a feeling that all of these guys were sent here to annoy me. I turn on my laptop screen and minimize my essay. It's time I do some stalking on this guys.
