The Lost Souls (Emo/Punk Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 2 - Mrs. Potato Head

*Nikita's P.O.V.*

I woke up to the most annoying sound known to man: an alarm clock.

I turned off the the alarm before entering the bathroom. I started my routine off the way I always do, stepping on the bathroom scale.

I was disappointed when it read 99 pounds. I've gained two pounds. I turned, looking at my bulging stomach in the mirror.

I look disgusting. I can't believe how fat I am. Looks like I'm going to have to skip more meals than usual.

I sighed, putting the scale away before taking a shower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once I was done getting ready, I walked downstairs to the living room. Harry, who is a year older than I am, is going to be driving me to school today. Gemma, who has already graduated, was in the kitchen with Auntie Anne.

"Would you like anything for breakfast?" Auntie Anne asked me.

"Mum, we're already running late" Harry replied, grabbing his keys and his jacket.

He doesn't think I need to eat because he thinks I'm fat.

"The two of you can still bring something for the road" she replied, handing us each a pack of Pop-Tarts and a small bottle of juice.

"Thanks" we replied before saying our goodbyes and leaving for school. I put the pack of Pop-Tarts in my bag and started to drink my juice.

Harry ate his Pop-Tarts while he drove and looked at me funny when I didn't do the same.

"You're not gonna eat?" He asked.

"I'm not much of a breakfast person" I told him.

"Maybe that's why you're so skinny. You should eat more"

"I'm fine. I just don't like to eat breakfast"

"You don't like to eat at all" he replied, pulling into the school parking lot. I ignored his comment, getting out of his car as soon as he turned it off.

I walked into the school and got my schedule from the lady at the front desk.

I had no idea where my math classroom was, but I didn't want to ask Harry after the awkward conversation that took place a few minutes ago. Luckily, it wasn't very far and it was actually quite easy to find.

I walked into the small room. All of the students were in the classroom, but the teacher was late. Harry and Liam weren't in the classroom, so I literally knew no one.

I started to look for a seat and everyone in the room stared at me before gossiping about who I was.

"Cool shirt" I heard a girl with an American accent say. I looked up to see a girl with hair that was dyed half black and half pink. She had a pierced septum and was sitting next to a boy with medium length brown hair. He was wearing guyliner and they both had tattoos.

"Thanks" I replied. The only available seat was next to her, so I sat down. I might make some friends here after all. "I love your hair" I told her.

"Thanks! I'm Melanie" she said, introducing herself before pointing to the boy beside her. "This is Louis"

"Pronounced with an 'e', but spelled with an 's'" he told me.

"I'm Nikita"

"Isn't that a breed of a dog?" Melanie asked.

"That's Akita"

"Oh"

"You look familiar, have we ever met?" Louis asked.

"I don't think so. People always tell me I look a little like my cousin Gemma"

"Gemma Styles?"

"Yeah"

"I can see that" Melanie said.

"Yeah, you kinda do look alike"

"Yeah, but she's way prettier" I said as our math teacher entered the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally it was time for lunch. After I got my tray I made my way over to the table where Louis and Melanie were sitting.

I didn't recognize two of the people sitting at the table with them. One was a small girl with black hair and tattoos. Like Louis, she didn't have any piercings. The other was a tall boy with blue hair, gauges, and snakebite piercings. He was covered in tattoos.

"You can sit by me Nikita" Melanie said, patting the chair between her and the blue haired boy. "That's Niall beside you and that's Cher beside Louis. Guys, this is Nikita. She's Harry and Gemma's cousin"

"Hey" I said.

"Hey" they replied.

"Why'd you transfer?" Niall asked me. He had a very thick Irish accent.

"I moved in with my aunt" I said shyly, grabbing my fork to mess with my food. I usually do that when I'm in public so people think I ate a little bit of everything instead of leaving everything untouched.

"Why?" Louis asked.

"It's a long story"

They ate their food and we made small talk for a while.

Niall had finished his food way before everyone else, while I hadn't eaten one bite.

After a while, the conversation died down and Niall was staring at my tray, making me uncomfortable.

"Are you going to eat or are you just going to play with your food?" He asked me.

"What are you talking about?"

"You've been playing with your food the entire time. You haven't eaten a single bite"

"Yes, I have"

"No, you haven't"

"What does it matter?"

"You need to eat" he said, sounding a bit concerned.

"I do eat" I said.

Before Niall could respond, the bell rang and I was so happy that our awkward conversation ended.

Cher and I had Biology next, so we put our trays away and walked together to the Biology Lab.
