Chapter 5
Niall's Point of View
Today is the day I come out to the school. It's no big deal for me, I'm not scared. My family knows I'm gay and they're fine with it, well except for my father. My old school was pretty accepting of my sexuality, and hopefully this school will be too.
After having breakfast with my family, and the usual comments from my father, I grab my bag and leave for school. I wonder how they're going to take it, how am I going to come out? What would I do? Back in Ireland I told the school gossip queen, and it spread around school faster than the speed of light.
So I needed to tell someone, who would tell someone, and get the message across school. I probably would get bullied, but it's nothing I can't handle. I've had many physical fights before and I never lost. And I don't plan on losing anytime soon.
"Hey Diana!" I greet her before home-room period. "Oh hey Niall, what's up?" she says me trying to stir a conversation. "Where's Terry?" I ask. "Oh, he's..." "Right here" Terry interjects. "Great, I got something to tell you both, and I hope you won't look at me a different way" I say.
"Of course not, what is it?" Terry says. "Okay guys, I'm-" and the bell rings. "Time to get to home-room, I'll see y'all at lunch" I say and leave. I think they would be accepting, that's what it looks like.
After home-room, I head to first period, English. God, I hate this class. This is the only hour Zayn sits in front of the class, he must really like English. But who cares about him, I tried to make friends with him, he rejected... Not my problem. I take my usual seat, and painfully wait for the class to start and end.
It's lunchtime now, I'm waiting for Diana and Terry. The first three classes were hell in it's ugliest form. Thankfully it finally finished. Terry and Diana sit down at the table with me for lunch. "So, you were gonna tell us that...?" Diana asks.
I take a deep breath, "well guys, I'm gay" I say. I look at their facial expressions, Terry has a normal facial expression, and Diana has a... Bored expression? "I knew it" she says. "But how?" I ask surprised. "Don't underestimate me" she says. "And what about you Terry, do you care?" I ask, hoping that he wouldn't.
"Nah, I don't care. I support LGBT rights" he says. An ear-to-ear smile develops on my face, I'm so thankful that they don't mind. "I'm so grateful you don't care!" I say. "And as long as you accept me, then I don't care what people think" I say.
"Now, one last thing, who's the school gossip queen?" I ask. They looked a little surprised, but Diana pointed to a tall, red-haired girl with green eyes. "She is, her name is Carla. And basically, we knew you were coming through her. Don't ask me how 'cause no one has a clue" she explain. "Be right back" I say and just suddenly leave.
I make my way towards her and sit with her on the table. The people she is sitting with look at me weirdly. I lean into her ears and whisper, "Hey Carla, I got something for you to tell the school. Tell them that I, Niall, am gay". Her eyes grow wide, then a mischievous grin is plastered onto her face.
"Sure, consider it done. And oh, I love gay people" she says as she pulls out her phone, types a text, and all I hear next is everyone's phone beeping. I go and sit back with Terry and Diana. Diana and Terry are looking at their phone. She shows me the text Carla sent.
Latest News!! This is not gossip, it's official news!
Just about a couple seconds ago, Niall Horan, yes, Niall Horan, came up to me and confirmed his sexuality. He is gay! So I hate to burst your bubbles girls, but you're all officially friendzoned. None of you will taste the delicious Niall! And to all you gay boys out there, Niall Horan can be yours! ;)

"Oh wow, she sure knows how to advertise!" I say sarcastically. Diana and Terry laugh it off. "Well, don't worry, the school doesn't have a high rate of homophobia. Maybe a few students do, of course, but not the majority" Terry informs me.
After a few minutes of talking, the bell rings, and I have to leave to fourth period. We say our goodbyes and head out separate ways to our class.
I'm walking down the hall, when suddenly, I get shoved into the wall. The person has his arm to my neck. "Man, what the fuck?" I say. "Heard you were gay? You faggot" some person says. By now, people stopped what they were doing and pulled out their phones and started taking videos.
"Yeah I am, and what's it to you?" I spit back. "I hate gay people" he says. "Well motherfucker, take your hands off me or you won't like what's coming next" I threaten.
Did I forget to mention my parents put me in Tae Kwon Do classes? They knew that me being gay might attract problems.
He laughs bitterly, "and what are you gonna do?" He challenges. I lift my right arm up, and swing it to his biceps, making his arm get off my neck. I twist around, giving him a roundhouse kick to his back, letting him slam into the wall. He falls down to the ground, and I crouch down onto one knee.
"Next time, I won't let you off easily" I threaten. I turn around to face the crowd, "let this be a very effective message to anyone here who tries to bully any gay person, actually, to any who bullies anyone at all" I say and turn around.
I start walking, when suddenly, people start clapping. I turn back around and face them, and they start cheering and whistling. I'm actually blushing, it's the first time anyone does that. I say a few thank-you's and start heading to my class.
I take a seat in art class, and get ready for the session. Out of nowhere, I feel hot breath in my ear, I'm about to turn around, to most likely, defend myself, but I stop as I hear the next words. "Not bad, Niall" he says. Who is he? My eyes widen as I recognise the voice of Zayn.
