College life (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter one

Harry's POV

Today is my first day back at college after six weeks on holiday. Currently, I am eating breakfast in my kitchen. I live on my own after I moved out of my parent's place. It can get lonely sometimes, but I don't mind, I like the peace and quiet. I have half an hour left before I have to be there. I have had a shower, got dressed, gathered my things into my bags, like my books and PE kit, and I have just finished eating. I wash my pots in the kitchen sink, then I grab my coat and my bags and I make sure I have enough money.

I head out my front door and lock it behind me. I set off down the path at the front of my house and start on my walk to college. I pass the park where all the high schoolers hang out, I feel some of the girls staring at me, I turn to face them and I raise an eyebrow, they turn their heads quickly but I see them. God, it gets annoying sometimes, Number one, it feels like I am constantly being watched, Number two, I am probably three or four years older than most of them, and Number three, don't they have anything better to do than to watch someone walk to college? I don't mind it, but it's everyday and plus, I'm gay.

I quickly pass the park and head through town. I go into one of the shops and I buy a bag of crisps. I head back in the direction of college, I open my bag of crisps and start eating. I clear the town and I can see the large building in front of me, though it is still quite a way in the distance, I would say about 5 minutes from here.

I walk in through the large double doors in front of me. it feels like the last time I was here was years ago, but in actual fact it has only been six weeks, though it still feels like a distant memory. I head towards where my locker was situated, I'm met by Niall who looks really exited to see me.

"Hey buddy." I say walking closer towards my locker and Niall.

"Hi Harry!" He says, getting really giddy. Seriously, this boy is 18 just like me but he still gets really giddy sometimes. I open my locker door and pull out the books from my bag, that I don't need for today, I place them at the back of my locker.

"Why are you so exited?" I ask him, closing my locker again.

"Well, I haven't seen my best friends for six weeks." He says smiling, showing off his new braces.

"Oh, cool braces!" I say. They were blue elastic.

"Thanks." He said, smiling again.

"Where were you all holiday?"

"With my parents in America."

"Oh, cool!" I have always wanted to go to America, but I have never had the chance to.

"So, what did you do with your holiday?" He asks.

"I spent most of the time at home. My parents have gone on holiday, they went the second week in."

"Oh, so they left you on your own?"

"Yeah, they don't come back till Halloween. But I live on my own anyway!"

"Cool. Oh, I forget."

I shake my head slightly in disbelief. I start walking to our next lesson, carrying my books under my arm. We have Maths first, it's so boring, I don't understand why I'm in one of the top sets, I don't get very good grades. The only good thing about it is that we get to see Liam and Zayn. We haven't seen them yet this morning, I hope they're in!

We walk to the top floor where our classroom is, we walk along the corridor and head into our classroom. We see Liam and Zayn sat at the back talking. We walk up to them and sit down on their table.

"Hey guys." I say.

"Hi Harry. Hi Niall." Liam says. Zayn smiles at us.

"How was America Niall?" Liam asks.
