The Journey

Chapter 1

Originally wrote this story on Quotev.com under @osnapitzsheeran :) Marley's Pov The bell rang dismissing us from a long period of calculus.

My last three classes we're my favorite; lunch, photography and singing. unfortunately the jock of the school and his two best friends were in my last class..

I sat down at my lunch table next to my best friend, my only friend, Rico.

He and I met in 6th grade because we we're the only two 6th graders taking 8th grade math. We've been best friends since.

"So how'd you think that Chemistry test was?", Rico asked me anxiously.

"So easy! I knew studying till 12 yesterday would pay off!" Rico chuckled.

As you can probably tell Rico and I are nerds. We spend our weekends and days off studying but we still manage to chill out and have fun so we're not all that boring.

Rico and I kept to ourselves, we didn't like the populars and we didn't like the idea of having too much attention on ourselves.

"So thank god today's the last day of school before our month and a half winter break!", I exclaimed!

"Marley Rivers and Rico Santiago getting excited for break? What are you planning on doing? Studying for finals?", An extremely deep masculine voice spoke out behind me.

I turned my head around to glare at the most douche-baggy guy in our school. Harry fucking Styles.. "Who the hell do you think you are Harry Styles?", I spat.

"I think I'm Harry fucking Styles.", He answered me.

"Buzz off Harry, Let us eat in peace", Rico spoke as calmly as possible.

"Fine guess I'll bother the shit outta you in photography.", Harry smirked and walked back to his table with his two best friends, Liam Payne and Danielle Peazer.

I sighed, "Why is he such an asshole?"

"Don't let him get to you Char" Rico and I finished our lunch peacefully.

As soon as the bell rang sending us off to our next class, I inwardly groaned.

The next two periods we're my favorite classes but Harry and his clique were in both.

I went to my locker and grabbed my digital camera and walked into photography.

"Hello class! Please take a seat I have a very important announcement!", Mr. Rybeck spoke.

My photo teacher was in his 30's he was newly married and one of the nicest most relaxed teachers, even Harry didn't give him a hard time.

Everyone grabbed a seat and Harry just so happened to find the seat next to me.

I rolled my eyes.

"So for winter break I know you all are going to be doing something very exciting so I have a project for you.

You will take 25 photographs on your camera and share them with the class after we come back.The pictures must be taken outdoors. And one picture in specific will be explained in thorough detail about why it was significant to your trip and why it's your favorite picture. Any one have any questions?"

Harry's hand shot up.

"Mr. Rybeck is taking pictures of your Physics textbook outdoors acceptable?"

Harry smirked, "Because if not I think this project might be extremely hard for Marley."

The class started stifling laughs.

Mr. Rybeck chose to ignore Harry's remark and continued to speak, "The rest of this period will be a study hall or relaxing period so enjoy your break and make good decisions!"

I sighed and pulled out my phone, I opened up the twitter app, I only had like 20 followers which of whom we're no one from school, i clicked 'compose tweet' and tweeted "why is this world filled with assholes?" i hit tweet and locked my phone.

"tweeting about me Marley?", Harry's obnoxious voice spoke in my ear.

I turned around and glared at him.

"You're a dick did ya know that! You had no right to make fun of me like that.", I yelled at him.

"Calm down sweetheart, but don't lie you're going to be studying all break for midterms aren't you?", Harry smirked.

"No you asshole.", I spat back.

"If you really aren't going to be studying then I dare you to come with me Dani and Liam on our cross country road trip."

I sighed, "Harry they're your best friends and three of you have been planning this since the 6th grade so i don't want to impose. Plus there's no way in hell my parents would let me go with you."

Harry chuckled. "I'm not that bad sweetheart plus it's not imposing if I'm inviting you, If you really wanna prove to us you're not boring then come with."
