I pulled up into the parking lot of Westminster Community High School and got out of my truck. I was unsure of where to go to get my schedule for my classes so Niall went with me. I followed Niall into the building and up the stairs into a room with 2 midnight blue couches, a love seat and a 3 person couch, the room also had a few mismatched hard plastic chairs along with a desk that when I walked up to it stopped at the height of my boobs.

"Hello, may I help you dear?" An older looking woman with gray hair and too much red lipstick asked me.

"Yes I am new here and I would like to get my schedule." I smiled at the older woman so I wast being rude.

"What's your name honey?"

"My names Christina Heart." The elderly lady picked up a stack of papers and walked to the back corner behind the desk to file them before coming back with another stack of papers. She the licked her index finger and began leafing through the stack that she just brought back to the desk. I assume she found it when she began pulling out a piece of paper in the middle of the stack and placed to the side so she could fix the new mess of papers. She picked the piece of paper back up and walked into the conjoining room and disappeared. Moments later she can back with a few more papers. The paper from earlier, a map of the campus, a time schedule indicating the amount of time in each class and during lunch, the school rules and my class schedule. I searched through the stack of papers handed to me to find out that my schedule was at the bottom. I handed my timetable to Niall and e looked it over.

"We have culinary, mathematics, science and lunch together." Niall said. He kept staring at my schedule before I stopped and grabbed his wrist. He turned to look at me and I looked up at him innocently. We walked down the steps to the exit of the office and strode into the mathematics wing of the school for first period. I took Nialls hand in mine as we walked down the hallway to anatomy class. A soft pink tinge rose to Nialls cheeks when I laced fingers in with his.

"Who's the teacher for this class?" I asked quietly.

"Mr. Black." He said. Before the heavy hardwood door I started to feel nervous and my thoughts began to consume me. I let go of Niall's hand and stopped dead in my tracks. What if I'm stared at and everyone thinks I'm ugly? What if Niall I the only friend I make in this school? What if I get made fun of and get bullied?

"What's wrong Red?" Niall asked, his voice full of concern.

"What I no one likes me Niall?" I asked scared shitless to found if anyone will like me or not or make fun of me. Niall grabbed my hand in his and intertwined our fingers together before lifting the back of my hand up and kissing it.

"Who wouldn't like a girl like you. You're perfect, and anyone who doesn't see that is crazy and fucking mental." Niall's swearing surprised me a little bit but I managed to recover from those thoughts because he was just being the friend that he is. We continued walking hand in hand to the door and Niall opened the door for me when we got to it. Niall and I walked up to the front of the classroom together to talk to the teacher. The teacher dismissed Niall and he went to go sit at one of the lab tables in rows throughout the room.

"Hi I'm Mr. Black, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" He said. I stood in front of the classroom and cleared my throat. Immediately all eyes snapped up to me, making me feel very self conscious. I began to blush and pull at the hem of my skirt, a nervous habit I have. I looked over at Niall and he was smiling a reassuring smile and then mouthed the words "you ok? You're beautiful don't forget that." That little pep talk gave me a sudden wave of confidence to speak up and tell the class who I was.

"Hi, I'm Christina Heart but everyone calls me Red as like a nickname and I just moved here from America." I looked at the teacher and he smiled at me, he then called me over to his desk and handed me a few pieces of paper like a permission form and a waver, just invade someone gets hurt or set on fire. He then tells me that he can't sit me next to Niall but then says that Louis is a nice kid and we should get along together. He calls Louis over to his desk to introduce me but I feel shy and stand there quietly. Louis is brunette haired boy with blue-ish green eyes, and hair up into a quiff. He is wearing a navy blue long sleeved button up shirt, with black skinny jeans, and white and black vans. Louis tells me his name, nickname, and where he grew up. I walk over to the lab station that Louis was seated at before Mr. Black called him over and sit down. I almost fell out of the stool a few times because of loss of balance. But I quickly recovered and steadied my self. I ended up falling not that soon after but this time I tripped over someones stuff and almost landed flat on my face. before the having the impacted hitting the ground I stuck both my arms out and landed on them instead of my face. I sat up an noticed everyone's eyes on me, even Niall's and Louis' but their faces had concern written all over them. I broke out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Louis started giggling and then doubled over gasping for air, but I guess he didn't realize he was still on the stool because seconds later you heard the stool fall and saw Louis laying on his back, on the floor. His fall caused me to laugh harder until my vision became blurry and tears slowly fell from my eyes. I crawled over to Louis and just laid next to him a few minutes before getting up and trying to help him up.
