Being Simon Cowell's Niece

"I tripped."

So guys, I started school today... I am SO sorry I didn't update last night, everything was being rushed for the before 'back to school' , ya know? The first day actually wasn't that bad. The thing is it is a performing art school, and its my first year there so i don't really know my updating schedule anymore :( Like in the last authors note (last chapter) i said that i'd try every four to five days which i will still try to do. Again I am really sorry.Thanks and enjoy! :) Xx.

BEEP! BEEP! My alarm clock went off. I opened my eyes and saw it was 7:45 am. I jumped up and ran to the closet. I was supposed to be up half an hour ago!! I quickly threw an outfit on and ran to the bathroom, brushing my teeth. I ran a brush through my hair and ran downstairs. I saw the boys eating breakfast. "Morning Lilly!" they chanted. "Hey guys!" I said out of breath. I ran over to the key hook on the wall and didn't see my car keys. "Dammit!" I cursed under my breath. I ran back to where the boys were eating. "Have any of you seen my keys?" I asked. They all looked at Louis. He crossed his arms.

"Hey, don't look at me." he said. "Louis, you've been the only one driving her car mate." Zayn said. Louis rolled his eyes. He reached in his pockets and pulled out keys. "Here you go." he said, holding them above his head. "Thanks guys!" I said, and grabbed the keys and backpack. I opened front door. "Bye Lilly!" they chanted again. "Bye!" I yelled, closing the door and running to the car. I jumped in and backed out of the driveway. I started speeding towards the school, but slowed down when I reached the school zone. I checked the dashboard and saw it was 7:57, meaning I only had 3 minutes to get to school on time. I parked my car and ran inside the building.

My first class was on the opposite end of the hall. I ran for my life, pushing past people and getting mean glares. I was about to run into my first class when the bell rung and my teacher closed the door. Shit. I tried opening the door but it was locked. I then knocked on it, hoping someone would answer. Someone did, and it was one of the bullies. I didn't know her name and I didn't want to. "Look what the cat dragged in." she whispered as I walked past her. Everyone started staring and pointing at me. I sat down in the back of the class, where my seat was.

"Lillian, please stand up and explain why you were late to class." My teacher said, looking at me. "Yeah Lillian." I heard other voices whisper. I stood up and looked down at my feet. "I overslept." I croaked out. Everyone started laughing. "Very well, you may sit down." the teacher said. I sat back down and sunk low in my seat. People kept throwing paper at me when the teacher wasn't looking. The rest of the class was hell.

             *later at lunch* 

I walked to the cafeteria and picked an empty table to sit down. I set my book bag down beside me and pulled my phone out to play music. I blasted Demi's songs. I sure missed her. "INCOMING!" Someone yelled, and next thing I knew I felt cold spaghetti all over me. I heard the whole room erupt in laughter. I closed my eyes and tried not to let the tears fall. I got up and grabbed my bag, and threw my phone in headphones in my bag, and ran to the front office. "Lilly?" the secretary Mrs.Melody asked.She was a really nice person, the nicest person at the school. She came towards me and gave me a hug.

"Honey, what happened?" She asked. I shook my head. I heard the office door open. "Hey we're visitors." the voice said. "Yes hold on one second, let me help her first." Mrs.Melody said. "No, its fine, help them first, I can wait." I said. "Okay." She responded. I didn't bother turning around because I didn't want whoever the person was to see me, it could've been the principal for all I know. "How may I help?" Mrs.Melody asked the guest. "Oh, we're actually here to eat lunch with our friend." the voice said. It sounded like...

"Okay, here's your pass. Who's your friend?" "Lillian Cowell." I froze. "Oh well she's right-" Mrs.Melody started but someone else called her. She walked in the other room and put her hand up as if to say 'I'll be back in a minute.' "Excuse me miss, but are you alright?" I felt one of them put their hands on my back. I cleared my throat and tried to make a different voice. "Yes, thank you." I said in a high pitched voice. "Lilly, are you still there?" Mrs.Melody asked, coming in and looking at me. I shook my head no and made hand gestures but it was too late. 

"Lilly what happened?!" Liam asked, turning me around. I saw all of the boys there. "Uhh, ehh, ahh, I tripped." I said, shaking my head. He eyed me weirdly. "Can we talk about this later please? I'm sorry but I don't want a lot of attention at school, and you're all famous. Guys I'm sorry, maybe we can eat lunch another time?" I asked. I didn't want people making fun of me, no I already had too much of that. "Umm sure, I guess we'll see you later. Do you need spare clothes?" Liam asked. I shook my head,"No, I have a spare in my locker. Thanks though." They gave me a hug then left the office and leaving the building. "Bye Mrs.Melody, thank you." I said, leaving the office. She waved goodbye to me. 

I walked to my locker and changed into new clothes. The rest of the day dragged by and I did NOT want to go home and explain to the boys what happened.
