Bad Influence

75

"Alright, today's the day." I said as I looked in my mirror. "My first day of my last year of school." I said. Liam looked at me and gave me a little smile. "You look amazing and you'll be fine." He told me as his hands snuck around my waist. "I'm so freaking nervous. Everybody will know me as Louis's little sister or as Zayn's ex-girlfriend." I said. Liam kissed the top of my head. "I'm sure it'll be just fine. You can always call me, just don't ditch and please don't smoke." Liam said. I smiled a little. "I won't ditch, however I can't give any promises on the no smoking part." I told him. "Fine, but you should really try to quit, smoking kills." Liam said. I turned around so we stood face to face. My arms came around his neck. "How on earth am I going to survive a whole day without you? You'll be out when I get home." I said. Liam kissed my nose. "It sucks, but there is an album going out and I'll have to promote it. But I won't be home any later than nine. And then we'll cuddle and do whatever, alright?" Liam asked. I nodded and he kissed me. I kissed him back and he pulled me closer. I broke the kiss after a while. "Now I really have to go or else I'm going to be late." I told him. Liam nodded and kissed me once more. "I'll see you later. Text me." He told me. "I will, bye." I told him before I walked out.

The school wasn't too long of a walk away from the apartment. I was really nervous but also excited. It sucked that I didn't have Nicole with me on this school. Nothing were the same between us after Christmas, I had Harry and Nicole was more away. She had been distant to me ever since summer break, I suspected that she had a new boyfriend or something. I had asked her about it, and she told me she had one, that was around Christmas, we sort of fell out after that.

I took a deep breath before I walked into school. I found the office and opened the door. "Hello, how can I help you?" The lady behind the desk asked. "Hello, I'm Angel Austin and I'm here for my last year, and well, I'm lost." I told her. The lady smiled. "Well it's nice to meet you Angel and welcome to Ashbourne. My name is Carly. Now I'll look for you time schedule." She said before she got onto the computer. "This will only take a minute." She told me. I nodded and looked at the time. I still had fifteen minutes until school started, I made sure I had plenty of time. "Alright, I found it. Let me just print it out." She told me. The printer started to work and a pice of paper came out. Carly took the paper and handed it too me. "There you go, I hope you have a wonderful day." She told me with a smile. "Thanks." I told her before I walked out. I looked down at my time schedule. I started to walk towards the locker I had. I opened it to fins no books or anything inside and I sighed. I had to go to the library and get my books, the only problem was that I didn't know where the library was. I looked around and saw a brunette girl standing by her own locker talking on the phone. Her back was against me as I walked over. "No, I'm not sure when I'll be home." The girl said. That voice sounded really familiar, it was almost like it was Nicole talking. "I know baby, but I'll text you as soon as I know." The girl said. I gently tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped a little. "I have to go baby. I love you." She said before she turned around. "Angel?!" She asked her face full of surprise. "Nikki?!" I asked equally shocked. She smiled and pulled me in for a hug. "Oh my god! I can't believe it. This is so insane, but at the same time, wow." Nicole said. I laughed. "I was just thinking about how sad it is that we lost touch and how you weren't going to be at the same school as me." I said. Nicole  smiled. "How crazy is this? We're at the same school. I knew you were in London, but I never imagined us to go to same school or even run into each other." Nicole said. "Speaking of that. What are you doing in London?" I asked. "Oh, I moved her with my boyfriend." Nicole explained. "What? Really? Wow, that's amazing." I said. Nicole blushed. "Yeah, it sort of is." Nicole said. "So, who is this mystery man?" I asked. Me asking her for directions to the library and my first class was completely forgotten. "Well, you'll have to know that he is amazing and he really has changed since what happened to Lou." Nicole said. She seemed nervous. "What?" I asked. "I'm living with Chad." She said. "Chad? As in Brad's best friend? As in the boy who hit Lou every day for a year?" I asked. "Look, I know he was a dick back then, but he really has changed and he's really nice. And he treats me really good." Nicole said. I raised an eyebrow. "I have an idea. Why don't you and I, and Chad and if you have some guy you're dating or something, go on a double date?" Nicole suggested. "I mean, sure. That we could do." I said. Nicole smiled. "Alright, great." She said. I smiled. "And for the record, I'm dating Liam, but we're not public because he has this band thing and stuff you know. So we told his mangers and they said we should keep it on the down low for now." I said. "Wow, that sounds stressful." Nicole said. I nodded. "It is, but it's worth it. I mean if Matt and Niall can do it, so can I. Besides, I'm in love with Liam, so it's worth it." I said. "What? Niall and who?" Nicole asked. I smiled. "Right, I'll take you home too meet them soon. And they'll tell you. Just don't mention Chad while Lou is there." I said. Nicole nodded. "Hey, do you know where the library is? Or how we get books? And where room 315 is?" I asked. Nicole laughed. "Nope, it's my first day here, but we'll just find a teacher and ask him. I'm going to room 315 as well." Nicole said. I smiled and she closed her locker. "Let's find someone we can ask." She said and started to walk. I suddenly felt less nervous. It was good that I had someone here I trusted.
