*Alice*

I just blink at Liam.

"What do you mean, 'he doesn't look normal'?" Liam shakes his head. He glances behind me, and then his eyes widen and his jaw drops.

"Take a look for yourself." He says. I slowly turn around, and gawk when I see the new kid. He has curly brown hair, a mop of curls on his head. He has green eyes, and he's tall and well built. Pretty normal, right? Well, then you get to his skin color.

It's blue.

A pale blue. Then, his eyes change from green, to yellow and an aqua navy blue color. I'm pretty sure all of the color just drained from my face.

"Oh." I choke out. Niall gawks behind me. Liam just slowly nods his head.

"Told you." He whispers. "You should see the way he acts. Let's stear clear, shall we? We don't wanna get involved." Liam starts to drag Niall and I away.

"Hi there!" The new kid says cheerfully to a kid walking by
The kid's eyes widen. He backs away.

"Look, kid, just leave me alone!" The guy cries as he rushes off. The new kid looks confused.

"What?" His shoulders slump. "Oh." He says, looking down sadly. He sniffles. "Um..nevermind." He slowly walks off. I gulp and turn away.

Don't get involved Alice. I tell myself. Just don't.

So I let Liam drag me away.

"Hello? Can anyone help me find my first class?" The new kid asks. Everyone ignores him, backing away. He looks sad. "I don't where I'm going. Please can someone help me?" He's going up to everyone, asking them. Everyone tries to get away from him. I kind of feel bad...

Don't get involved.

I continue to walk through the crowd.

"Excuse me, the girl with the glasses, could you help me find my first cla-hey wait up!" I keep my head down and walk as fast as I can. Somehow, he manages to catch up.

"Hi! I'm Harry! I'm new here. Can you help me find my English room?" He smiles at me.

Oh chiz we have the same teacher at the same time. Great.

"Uh.....I have to go!" I squeak. I try to side step him, but he stands in my way. He frowns.

"But I need help." He says. I gulp.

"Fine." I whisper. I stomp off and Harry quickly follows me. I stomp into the classroom and he cheerfully walks in.

"Thanks!" He says happily. I take a deep breath.

"Uh huh." I say and quickly walk away from him. 

"Alright class." My Enlish teacher Mrs.Lorose says. "We will be choosing new seats. First pick is.....Alice Heartlock." Good. I rush to the back of the room and sit in the corner, near the window. "Next pick...Harry Styles."

Oh freaking no.

He bounds over to me.

No. No no no no no.

"Hi friend! Remember me?" He says eagerly. I gulp.

"Yeah..." Unfortunately.

"What's your name, love? You never told me."

"Uh..Alice.." Part of me wanted to use a code name, but he was gonna find out anyways.

"That's a really pretty name." He says with a smile. "You're the first person to atually talk to me. No one really likes me here." I bite my lip. "You're my friend, right?" He says, looking hopeful.

"Uh...oh no! I dropped my pencil!" I drop it and act like it was by accident. I bend to get it, but Harry beats me to it. He hands it to me.

"Here." He says with a smile. Dimples show, and I start to chew on my lip.

"Um..thanks."

"You're welcome." He says.

I look away. I don't even know what's happening here.

"Bye Alice!" Of course I had to have every set with Harry. Ugh.

"Bye...." I quickly walk away, wanting to get as far away from him as possible. I make my way to lunch, and sit down with Liam and Niall.

"You look scared." Liam points out.

"I am." I admitt.

"Why?" Niall asks.

"Because that new kid Har-"

"ALICE!" Harry races over to us. The cafeteria goes quiet. He bounds over with a tray and plops down next to me. I stiffen.

"Um...we're gonna go." Liam and Niall say, getting up and walking off. 

"Bu-"

"I'm sorry. I made your friends leave." Harry looks down sadly. I take a deep breath.

"It's fine..." He smiles up at me.

"I really like you. You're nice." He says. His dimples show through his smile.

"Thanks..."

"Maybe we could hang out sometime?" He looks hopeful. I bite my lip.

"Um...I don't know...I'm really...um...busy." His shoulders slump.

"Oh." He looks down.

"Sorry..."

"It's fine. I understand." He sighs.

"Um..I should go." I start to get up, but he grabs my hand. His touch feels like ice, and I instantly pull my hand away from his. He looks even more sad then before.

"Bye." I say stiffly, and rush off.
