I'm Not Who You Think I Am

Chapter 1

Liam’s P.O.V:

“You guys are going back to college.” Modest management said.

“What are you talking about?” Niall asked.

“Exactly what it sounds like, you guys are going back to college.”

“Why are you guys doing this?” Harry buts in.

“We only do this because we care about you guys, and Simon says you guys need to try to go back to the normal life.”

“But we are fine the way we are, we haven’t let the stardom change us. We are still the same lads you contracted 2 years ago.” Louis argues.

“We know that, but Simon thinks otherwise. Just please think about it, even though you hardly have any input in it.”

“Ok, but what about our appearance? If we go anywhere like this then we will get mobbed by fans.” Zayn adds.

“We have that all covered. You guys will have to completely change yourselves. Though some of you guys would not like what Simon has planned, it is what is best.” The lads continue to argue with management while I am still trying to process this. We, as in the 5 lads of One Direction, have to go back to college. We are the biggest boyband in the world and now we have to go back to school. What will happen with everything we have planned? Is this only for one year? What if our cover get blown? All these questions are flowing through my mind. “Liam, what do you think about all this?” the lads ask me.

“I think this will be a good experience guys, come on. You are always putting down Simon’s ideas. You never know until you try right. So, lets try it out.” I finally say, after so much thinking.

“See, Liam is on board what about you guys?” management says.

“I guess we should try.” Niall agrees.

“Sure.” Harry says.

“Fine.” Louis huffs.

“I hope this works out.” Zayn sighs.

“Awesome, now like always there will be some rules. There will be no girlfriends, you guys are their to study.” As management continues to say the rules, I look around the room. How could this be happening? I always thought that the superstar life was easy, but now that I notice, it isn’t. “And under no circumstances, will you be showing the real you. Only you guys should know who each other are, nobody else.” management finishes off. Oh gosh, lets hope this works out for the best.

Current Day

Liam’s P.O.V:

So it has been a couple months now. We have been working on our third album, finishing our Take Me Home tour, getting ready to go back to college, and lastly changing our appearances. Harry was turned into a complete nerd, Marcel is his new name. Zayn was turned to a Jock, his new name being Victor. Louis was turned into a drama loving geek, Johnny being his new name. Niall was turned into a gamer geek, his new is Henry. And lastly I was turned into a gay guy, Leeroy being my new name. Right now, we are on our way to our first day at college. “So, you guys would have to go to the administration office to get your schedules and I made sure that you guys have to most of the same classes so that you weren’t separated.” Paul, one of our body guards, tells us.

“Yeah, we know that.” I said annoyed. Why, out of all kinds of personality, why do I have to be a gay guy? Even though, it will not give any idea of superstar to anyone. Why? Anyway, as we get to the school, the lads and I walk to the administration office to get our schedules. “Hello ma’am. We are here to get our schedules.” I say politely, even though I am completely pissed off.

“Name please,” she says without taking her eyes off the computer screen.

“Leeroy Payne.”

“Next,”

“Henry Horan.”

“Next,”

“Marcel Styles.”

“Next,”

“Victor Malik.”

“Next,”

“And lastly Johnny Tomlinson.”

“Is that it?” she asks. We nod and continue to patiently wait for our schedules. As we get our schedules this group of preppy girls walk in. “You called Ms. Polanco.” one says. She was dressed in a plaid outfit, looking quite fit. Snap out of it Liam!

“Yes, ladies. We have some new students and I was wondering if you can show them around.”

“We have class!” another says.

“I know that, and you will be excused for the day. These boys need to be shown around campus. Be nice.” She scolds. They huff and walk out of the door. “What are your names anyway?” the one dressed in plaid says again.

“Leeroy.”

“Marcel.” Harry said winking. They giggle at his attempt to be cool. I guess he forgot he was turned into a nerd.

“Johnny.”

“Victor.”

“Henry.” As always, Niall becomes shy. I guess he finds one of the cute.

“I’m Scarlett, part of the welcoming committee. These are my friends, Darcy, Becka, and Natalie,” Each of her friends wave. “I guess we will show you around now.” she says sighing. We get shown around for like 30 minutes before stopping by the dining room. “So, right now it is the time most people eat lunch. So enjoy yourselves. Meet me in this same spot when this period is over.” Scarlett says and walks away with the rest of her group.
