~Natalie's P.O.V~
"Another morning alive.." I whisper to myself as I slump out of bed.
"Well someone's in a good mood today."
"Jesus, Zayn. Don't scare me like that." I say, putting my hand over my chest and hitching my breath in my throat. Zayn smirks at me and leans against the door frame of my room.
"Don't scare me like that, Zayn." He mocks me in a high pitched voice.
"Screw off." I grumble as I walk into the restroom and begin to get ready for school. "I'm so offended. Please, stop. It hurts too much." Zayn sarcastically smirks and walk out of the room.
"Hmm.. What to wear, what to wear.." I whisper to myself. My finger taps on my chin as I try to make a decision on what I should wear to school today, A.K.A The Hell Hole.
I finally decide on a grey shirt with the word Free written across the top, some black skinny jeans, a grey beanie, and combat boots.
"Nice look today, Nat." Liam compliments me as I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Thanks, Liam."
Louis strolls into the kitchen and grabs an apple. "Do you want us to drive you to school?" He asks.
"Nah, I can drive myself. Why do you ask that?"
"Because I'm afraid of that ass Harry coming and ganging up on you."
"Well to make you feel better, you can drive me home. Just meet me at my car, and we'll grab something to eat. The boys can come too, if they want."
"Okay.." Louis says, walking up to me, cupping my face in his hands, and kissing me on the forehead. "I love you, little sister."
"I Love you too, uh.. Older brother."
Liam coughs. "Uh, Louis, You can let go now. You're going to suffocate her."
"Oh sorry." Louis giggles and lets me go.
"Bye, guys."
The cold New York wind cools my face as I walk to my car. On the way to school, I have to drive through an old neighborhood. It's an old neighborhood to most people, but to me, it's where the incident took place. Where the cars crashed. Where my parents died.
I wipe a tear away from my eye and take a deep breath. "They're in a better place now." I whisper to myself.
The school gates are barely opening when I arrive on campus. I check my phone, 7:30.
I always come to school early because I spend my morning recess inside. Hiding away from him. Harry Styles, the popular boy at school, has manipulated everybody into hating me. The only two people he hasn't "transformed" are my two best friends, Haley and Gabby. Me and Gabby have known each other since we were three, and me and Haley met at Summer Camp in 2006.
"Good morning, Natalie." Mrs. Sanchez greets me with a hug and a granola bar. "What's this for?" I ask, taking the granola bar from her hand. "Well, a beautiful young lady like you should always stay healthy." She says with her thick Spanish accent. "Thanks."
I skip over to my desk and hang my backpack on the back of my chair. Even though I switch rooms every 52 minutes, Mrs. Sanchez's room is my home room. Guess what? It's Harry's too.
"The cafeteria is serving breakfast this week. Why don't you get something to eat? I can hear your stomach growling from here." Mrs. Sanchez suggests. Well, I did skip breakfast today.
"Hey, bitch!" I hear a familiar voice echoes behind my head, as I walk down the hallway towards the cafeteria. So close..
I turn around with glassy eyes. "So you actually came to school today. It surprises me that your car didn't break down with your fat ass in it." He smirks and pushes me so I am slammed against the wall.
He walks away. I fix my beanie that was half off of my head and continue my journey to the cafeteria.
When I finally finish my breakfast, I decide to actually go outside with Haley and Gabby. "Uh.. Natalie Tomlinson?" Mr. Ogden says, tapping me on the shoulder. "Can I see you in my office?"
