Stay Away From Me (Niall Underage Zianourry)

Chapter 2 - Settling In

Niall's POV:

I had been slightly worried when I first walked into the apartment but so far so good. Nothing has happened with any of the boys which although it may seem like me being pedantic but I am overly aware of how much older they are - three years - and I know that they could force me to do pretty much anything they wanted if they tried hard enough. Not that I was willing to let them I would go down with a fight.

I pried my thoughts away and got out of bed. Time to get up for school, I need to try and make a good impression so that I won't be completely alone again.
As I walked out into the hallway I closed my eyes as bright light poured in, two steps forward and I bumped into a hard surface. Hmm I swear there wasn't a wall here yesterday? I stood there confused with my eyes still shut until a pair of hands came down onto my shoulders making me jump.

"Hey buddy." a voice said above me. Oh so I bumped into a person. That makes sense. Then it finally set in, my eyes sprung open and I jumped away from the body with too much power and sent myself flying into the wall hitting my head.

Oh so there was the wall.

But back to the situation at hand I looked up at... Harry fearfully. Physical contact was a no - it reminded me of my parents.

Harry frowned at me momentarily before pulling me forwards gently by the shoulders, "Are you alright babe? That looked like it hurt." He examined my head, " Go to the bathroom and then come to the sofa I'm gonna get Liam to check your head, you don't want to be injured on your first day do you?" I shook my head and he let me go into the bathroom, I went about my bodily routine with my head throbbing all the while. As soon as I came out of the bathroom I was met by a pair of eyes in my face I jumped again and then realised that it was just Liam, "Hey I came to grab you in case you forgot to come and get your head checked."

He lead me into the living area where all of the hustle and bustle was going on Louis was trying to eat cereal from the box whilst Harry was fighting to get the box back and Zayn was laying on the sofa trying to pull his trousers on.

"Move Zi." Liam said poking at Zayn's side until he stood unsteadily. Liam sat me down on the sofa with him and started to inspect my head whilst I watched Zayn struggle with his jeans to the point where he fell face first onto the other chair in the room. He a let out a little scream and Louis started laughing uncontrollably. Harry took it as the perfect opportunity to steal back the cereal and started munching away happily from the box as Louis still hadn't realised. I smiled at what was going on whilst Liam carried on inspecting my head.

A couple of seconds later Liam had finished inspecting my head and turned to face me, "Well you're fine but I might check on you later at school so see how much it hurts otherwise I'll worry too much." He had a small smile on his face before getting up and helping Zayn up from his awkward position, once he was standing he pulled up Zayn's trousers quickly before walking into the kitchen and grabbing five bowls. He grabbed the cereal off of Harry who protested but just carried on walking and left him to face a confused and angry Louis who was wondering when his cereal had been taken.

I followed Liam across the room to the table where he had placed the bowls, "Do you need any help?"

He smiled at me, "Please. Go grab two normal cup as well as the shiny purple cup, stripy cup and the cup with cat heads on."

I nodded and walked over to the cupboards, why such a weird cup selection? I opened the door and gasped there were so many of the same cups in here there at least 5 of each of the cups Liam asked for aswell as 10 normal ones and a couple of bottles. I picked up the ones I needed and walked carefully over to Liam, I didn't want to drop anything. "Umm..."
Liam looked up at me, "Oh right! Put the cat one here," he pointed to one of the seats next to the head of the table, "stripes opposite, and purple next to that. Yep. And then our cups go on the other two spaces. I'm guessing you're wondering about our weird collection?"
I nodded.
