New Boy || [ Harry Styles au ] ✔️

01

The chilly air outside reminded me that winter was starting. It wasn't really helping that I was sitting on a swing on my porch, only clad in some shorts and a t-shirt. It was currently Sunday, and I almost groaned out loud at the fact that school was tomorrow.

"Zayn!" I yelled, leaning back on the swing.

The front door of my house opened, and my twin brother peeked his head out. "What do you want Zara?"

I pulled my best puppy face before I asked, "Carry me inside? My legs are numb."

Being the baby of the family, as Zayn came into the world 1 hour before me, I was rather spoiled and lazy.

"Of course they'd be numb, why the fūck are you wearing shorts?" He scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest. I didn't answer, instead I raised my arms up in a "pick me up" manner.

"God, you're so annoying." He caved to my wish, as he came around the swing and picked me up bridal-style.

"Thanks Z, you're the best."

"I know."

"Be good today." Mum reprimanded, as she reached up and kissed Zayn and I's foreheads.

"Bye mum!" We both called out, before exiting the house and walking over to our car. We were allowed one only if we shared, and seeing as we did everything together it only made sense.

It was Zayn's turn to drive today, so I made my way to the passenger seat. We talked about the daily drama of high school until my phone rang. Sighing at the caller ID, I put the phone on speaker.

"What do you want Tomlinson?" I asked, leaning back in my seat.

"Oi where the fūck are you both?" Louis' voice shouted over the phone. Zayn shook his head, smiling. "We're on the way Lou. What's got your knickers in a twist?"

"Apparently two new students are joining, and Noah is going mad over welcoming them. She's already planning a welcome for them!"

Ah, classic Noah. She may be my best friend, but sometimes her jittery-ness got to me. But she was vice head of the student council, so I couldn't question her decisions. I could already imagine her petite figure going off on others, ordering them while her bob moved about.

"New students, you say?" Zayn asks, pulling up into the school parking.

"Yeah. Siblings. The boy is in our year and the girl is in junior year." Louis stated.

"Hold on, we're coming." And with that, Zayn ended the call, handed the phone to me and we both got out of the car.

As soon as we entered the building, we were greeted by everyone. I was walking with Zayn until someone lifted me off the ground and started tickling me. As soon as I caught sight of the Oakland High jacket, I instantly knew who it was.

"Holy shit-" I boomed with laughter, "Jason! stop!"

"Put her down man." Zayn grumbled, leaning against a locker. He was way too protective of me sometimes, and it got annoying. He knew Jason was like my brother—well, one of them anyway.

"Chill Z Man, we're only playing." Jason chuckled, putting me back on the ground and then proceeding to slap Zayn on the shoulder.

That's Jason for you. He might seem all tall and buff, but really he's a softy.

"I gotta run now. If Noah sees me wandering about, she'll have my head!" Jason shook his head, eyes filled with terror.

As Jason walked away, we noticed Louis and Noah coming towards us, a similar look of fright on his face. He broke out into a sprint, finally resting when he was just in front of us. He leaned down, resting his hands on his knees. Noah took her time with her steps, her almond shaped eyes crinkled with joy as her lips curled to a smile.

"Hiya Zayn, hey Zar!" She greeted, not paying attention to the wheezing boy beside her.

"Uh, Hey Noah." I greeted skeptically. "What's all this about?"

Her eyes widened expectantly, like she was waiting for me speak and then I realised I just walked into a trap.

Good God.

Noah clapped her hands in glee, "Oh golly! Let me tell you both everything!"

"Gee Noah, you sure seem excited." Zayn chuckled, helping Louis up from his position.

"Excited!?" Louis' eyes widened, "she's bloody mental, she is!"

"Shut up Tomlinson." Noah's eyes narrowed making Louis shrink back. "Anyways, we have two new students coming in today!"

"Why are you so happy? Don't we get new students all the time?" I questioned.

"Yeah, but they're starting in the middle of a school year! Which means they'll get people assigned to get them accustomed here. And as head—"

"Vice-head" Louis coughed into his hand, interrupting Noah's speech, before a smack landed on his head.

"As I was saying, being vice head of the student council, it's up to me to decide who I want in charge of that." Noah finished her part, looking content with her explanation.

"Well count me out." I stated boredly, pushing past them to get to my locker.

"Me too." Zayn followed behind.

"Me three." Louis shrugged before he was hit with another smack.

"You don't count Louis." Noah huffed, turning around to Zayn and I. She pulled her best puppy dog face-which was hard not to cave into- and started begging. "You both know the school inside out, pleeeaaaseee?"

After a while, it got extremely irritating to the point where I grudgingly accepted to help the newbie. Zayn was still not giving in, saying he'll think about it.

The bell rung, indicating the beginning of classes as students started rushing into the hall.

"Where are the newbies anyway? Late on the first day? Not a very good impression now, is it." Louis tsked.
