"Nice to meet you, Madeline Anne!"
"H-hi" I feel my anxiety rise up. They're gonna leave me with a man that I don't know!? I look at Louis, he grabs my hand and squeezes it reassuringly. He pulls me into a hug and whispers in my ear.
"Hey ssh don't worry it will be okay, you have nothing to fear" I let my tears fall down as I lay my head into his shirt. He pulls away from me and wipes my tears. "Go get your stuff for school" I take a shaky breaths and nod. I just made a fool of myself.
I grab my stuff from my room and head back down.
"I'm sorry about that, it is uncalled for I sincerely apologize"
"Its okay, I understand what you're going through. I had anxiety too." He said with a sad smile plastered on his face, pure pity. If only he knew half of it.
"Let's go!" He says soft but firmly. I give a small nod and turn to hug Dad, Liam, harry, Niall, and Zayn.
"Have fun at school!" Harry says. I laugh.
"Like that will ever happen" they all smile and I smile back

On the way to school Paul tried making small talk but I would only give one word answers. Then he just stopped trying. We pulled up to the school parking lot. And I got out and got my stuff.
"After school meet me here" he said with a small smile I nodded and he drove off. The first day of high school. I turned to head into the school but I bumped into something hard. Like a wall. I fall on to my butt and instinctively look up. To see that I did not bump into a wall but a boy. About my age, and a few feet taller than me. He holds out his hand to me and I gladly accept it.
"I am so so so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! I wasn't looking where I wa-" he walks away with his hands in his pockets and a smirk plastered on his angular face.
Wow what a jerk! I was trying to apologize to him!
I took off after him my face beet red and I pass him rushing to the main office to get my schedule and find my locker. I hear him chuckle but didn't do anything about it.
