Story Of Our Lives

First Day

"Harry! Niall's been waiting for you," Harry's mom said as he ran with his bag to the front door.

"Mum, I know."

His mom gave him a kiss on the cheek and ruffled his hair. "Mum!" She chuckled as Harry ran out the door.

"C'mon! Ya don't wanna be late on ya first day, do ya?" Niall joked as they ran down the stairs. Niall lead Harry to a small red car in the lot.

They started it up and were above the speed limit the whole way. The boys arrived with ten minutes to spare.

"Phew! That was a close one," Niall laughed, hopping out of the car. Harry chuckled and stepped out of the passenger side.

"Niall!" The boys turned to their left to see Zayn and another boy walking towards them.

"Zayn! Liam!" Niall called out. The three did weird handshakes, leaving Harry to feel awkward.

"Oh! Liam, you haven't met Harry."

"No, I have not." Niall motioned for Harry to step foward. Harry shuffled foward, standing a bit behind Niall.

"C'mon Harry!" Niall chuckled, pushing Harry foward. Once he regained his balance, Harry looked up at Liam.

"Harry," he said, sticking his hand out. Liam took it. "Liam." They shook and the bell rang, signifying they had five minutes left.

"You got here late, man. This is a bad start to the year!" Zayn joked. The boys laughed, all except Harry. He was so nervous he could puke.

The boys stepped into the building. "Harry, ya need help getting to class?" Niall offered. Harry shook his head and the boys split.

Man, I couldn't even get to my locker...

"Okay, chaps. Take out your calculators and try these problems," Mr. Dennis said. He sat at his desk and began painting a pot.

Niall wasn't kidding when he said this man wasn't sane...

"Umm...Mr. Dennis. We haven't learned this yet!" a girl from the front of the room pointed out.

"Just do the problems!" he called out, dipping the brush in paint and swiping it on the pot.

Harry looked at the first problem and knew this was going to be a long year.

Harry was at his locker when Niall tapped his shoulder. "Soo? How's the first day been?" he asked.

"Everything I expected," Harry groaned. Niall chuckled.

"Hey, at lunch, wait for me and the lads here. Alright?" Niall said. Harry nodded. Niall patted his shoulder and they both were off for class.

~~~

It was lunch time and Harry couldn't be hungrier. He put his Chemistry textbook into his locker and took out his English notebook and History textbook. He didn't expect his teachers to give him all his books during Open House. It was terrible.

"Boo!" Harry jumped, almost dropping his books.

Niall, Zayn and Liam broke out in laugher. "Ya hungry?" Niall asked. Harry nodded. The four made their way to the cafeteria. It was a huge place with too many people and not enough tables.

"Hey loser!" Harry heard a boy call out. He turned around and saw it was the boy from the park who was swift with the ball.

"Hey idiot," Zayn said as he turned around.
