"All right students! We'll be starting with Trigonometric Identities today. Open your mathematics textbooks." Announced Mr. Anderson.
There was obviously a lot of unrest around for in sat the 'celebrities' of the school. The class was on a glam overdose. Liz was seated in the middle of the third row beside whom were Harry and Ash to the left and right respectively. Now, Nate is a real sweetheart if I must. Amidst all this drama he's the Matt well, Matt Donovan from Vampire Diaries duh. Don't we all love him? Course we do.
Behind Nate was Niall and diagonally left to him was Zayn with a straight face staring into the unknown.

Well that's a pretty good attempt I must say as I've tried to show the way they sit . I know it's silly but... Never mind.Students shuffled around. Liz particularly adopted a rather serious demeanor for she was clearly too annoyed about all the stares that pierced through her back. Ashley gave her a sympathetic look. Harry too tried but it wasn't in his ways to be serious. He glanced all around the class giving awkward smiles to every one he made an eye contact with. Until Mr. Anderson boomed,"Mr. Styles I see you are rather distracted to concentrate but, you know.... The others aren't as famous as you are. They need to study for God's sake! " He didn't get why the hell did people try to demean him for being 'famous'. Is it so freaking bad? That isn't how the others are treated.
It's like they hate me now.
It was humiliating and a tear rolled down his cheeks.
But, he ignored it and rummaged through his belongings to pull out his textbook. The class fell in order once Mr. Anderson started teaching. Only to be disturbed every five seconds or so.Niall's place beside Nate bothered him, in a cute way though. He was in no mood to study today. He casually laid back in his chair, spread his legs before him and blew bubblegm. So big that it covered his nose. He flanked it proudly. People rolled their eyes and looked away. And the bubblegum burst forming a large pink map of Australia on his face. Mr. A chose to ignore him. That's how he used to be since forever. Niall kept poking Nate in order to have him included in the bubblegum blowing spree. Of course Nate couldn't say anything .
"Niall, can we do it later please?"
Niall nodded enthusiastically but looked away soon. His face fell and his lips wobbled. He was on the verge of crying as everyone, and by that I mean everyone, gave him annoyed glares including Mr.A."Now now, I would want Niall to exchange places with Nate and Zayn to take Niall's previous place.And that's how you'll sit for this entire term." Said Mr.A. Ash looked around at Nate with what was clearly disappointment. She had Niall beside her now and Zayn beside him. She chose to stare into her books to prevent herself from blowing up. While, Niall just grinned. It wasn't that he didn't study, in fact he was always in the meritorious top 10 list , he just didn't like the classroom. And that was one reason why Mr.A chose to remain quiet.
Zayn just fiddled with the pencil in his hand. No expressions .
He was actually glad with his place.The period Bell rang and the class crammed out of the doors. Liz, Ash, Nate, Harry, Niall and Zayn were the last to leave. Liz ran away followed by Harry. Nate kissed Ash goodbye and went to get his books for English. While Ash stood still as a statue. Zayn fidgeted while Niall grinned impatiently. He was adorable she had to admit.
"Let's go to the canteen, shall we?"said Ash.
" Sure. "Muttered Zayn. Niall gladly followed them.
She walked awkwardly between the two." You go ahead, I'll just get the newspaper and join you. "Said Ash. Zayn's expressions changed a bit but he nodded and dragged Niall to the canteen joking and laughing. The two were really comfortable with each other. She stood there looking at them as a small smile crept up her lips. Niall was the only person Zayn laughed with. And maybe Harry too. He seemed the youngest. He was shy. The shriek of the period Bell jolted her back to reality as she realized what she had actually stopped for. She rushed to the Parlour and grabbed the old newspaper and rushed back to the canteen. It was the newspaper.
Ashley quickly turned the pages to reach to the Hollywood buzz. It had been just a day ago that they saw the picture. How could they not notice the article?
Of course the article made her jump, of course she had her jaws drop to the floor and of course tears came gushing once she's read the article. Liz already had a lot going on and now, if this catches her eye she was gonna lose it. It had to be kept from her. No!
I have to tell her myself!" I'll see you guys tomorrow! Sorry gotta go! Tell Nate I left with Liz! " And she rushed. Niall puckered his lips which soon changed into a goodbye smile while, Zayn obligated with a gentle smile.

"Liz ! Common we gotta go somewhere." Says Ashley as she grabbed her by her wrist and pulled her to the car parking area.
"What the hell has happened now Ashley? Can't we just go back to our classes?"
"Can I borrow your car Liz? I mean your truck or whatever is it. And please drop your sidekick in his fort itself. I don't want a spy on us. Finally I can make use of my driver's license. Ah! Finally!"
Liz opened her mouth to speak but couldn't. Ash pulled Liz away into the black pickup truck of hers.Liz had actually refused to take the fancy car that her mother had proudly presented her with.
Ash calmly pulled out of the car area though her nerves were on fire. They reached the huge McDonald's. Liz wasnt allowed to utter a word courtesy to the booming Linkin Park tracks playing in the truck.
"Liz would you please go ahead and reserve us a seat? Please!" Ash fluttered her eyes and puckered her lips. She could bring out the innocent devil lurking within her in moments.
"Freaking alright Ash! For God's sake please tell me what the hell is going on. " Liz spoke in shouts subdued into whispers this coming out making guttural noises. Funny isn't it?
Ash grinned ear to ear and spoke nothing. She pulled out her phone from her bag and began texting.
Ash: *Please get Harry and maybe Liam too to McDonald's as soon as possible. Have a look at the the newspaper. Brief Harry.Don't wanna have you lose it here at least. Gotta tell Lizzie! And miss you!*
She jumped out of the car and approached the imminent. Moment of truth huh?
Her phone beeped after a minute or so.
Nate: *Okay. All this is really worrying me you know. Guess that Niall and Zayn too would come.*
Ash:*I guess it's fine. They're Harry's friends. Okay then:)*
