The beginning of the end

(Harry's POV)

I feel a vibration in my pocket and take my phone out to see who called me. Niall's number appears on my screen and I accept the call.

"Hey Niall"

"Harry! Where are you mate?" He asks in his Irish accent. I look around me to find the name of the coffee shop.

"I'm at the Club with Kim and her friends" I answer and meet her eyes. She asks me who I'm talking to and I mouth a 'Niall' and she nods.

"Woaah mate, you're fast!"He starts laughing and I smirk, glancing at Kim.

"Thanks, but what do you want?"

"We are studying the same thing, therefor, we have the same classes. I thought we could meet somewhere and walk to our first class together with some other friends?"

"Yeah, that'd be cool! Where do I meet you guys?"

"In front of the Sociology building, the Music one is right next to it."

"Ok, see you there" I hang up and take my bag from the floor, standing up from my seat.

"Where are you going?" Kim wonders.

"In front of the Sociology building, I have to meet some people there"

"Do you actually know where the sociology building is, Harry?" She smirks and I realize that I don't even have a clue where it is. I know she doesn't study the same thing as me and she's going to be late if she shows me the way. Meaning that I'm left alone now.

"I'll show you the way, I have to go there anyway. See you later guys" Liam says and pecks his girlfriend on the lips before standing up. I sigh of relief and smile at him, thankful.

"Thanks pal" He smiles and shrugs, taking his bag. We leave the table and walk outside the Coffee shop. We stay silent for awhile, both thinking of what to say to fill in the discussion.

"So tell me Harry, where are you from?" He asks and we turn a corner. I try to mesmerize my surroundings as much as possible, in case I'm lost.

"Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. It's quite far from here"

"Then why did you come here? Isn't Manchester closer?"

"Yes, but they didn't offer the program I was looking for, unlike here. Plus, my best mate lives here  and we share a flat" He nods and replaces his bag on his shoulder.

"Does he come to LUS too?" I shake my head and tell him the same thing I told Kim earlier. He finally stops in front of a large brick building.

"So here it is, I can wait with you until your friends come if you want" he proposes and I nod, looking around me for Niall's blond hair.

"Yeah, they should be here in a mo-"

"HARREH" We both turn around to the sound of someone yelling my name and I see Niall running towards us. His cheeks are red when he stops in front of us and he bents down to catch his breathe.

"Hey ..*breathes* sorry mate ..*breathes* " He says standing up and taking deep breathes. I contain myself from laughing at him and he finally relaxes, replacing his backpack.

"I remembered that you're new here and I was going to look for you by taking another way and then I saw you just before turning the corner and ran over here..Man, I should exercise more." He places his hand on his stomach where he obviously feels a cramp and I pat his back.

"Thanks Liam for taking me here, I think I'll remember the path the next time" Liam gives me a guy handshake, still smiling and steps back, heading to the brick building.
