Hall Of Heroes

Chapter 13

The second year students stood on the playground, pristine uniforms on, smiles on their faces and a few with tears in their eyes. This day would be the last they'd have to wear their uniform as it was graduation day. Two years of hard work had finally payed off and the students were ready to leave school for the big wide world.

Harry, Liam, Louis, Zayn and Niall all stood together in a circle, chatting before the ceremony. Over the past two years the five boys had continued their studies and their training in the programme, and were ready now to leave school. The day before they had been called into Headmisstress Tarrant's office one last time to discuss what was going to happen after school. They'd agree to sign up to the movement which was planning to bring down 'The Powerful', yet they had little idea what was going to happen... 

"Two years. Just like that." Liam said, smiling at the boys. 

"I can't believe it's over." Louis whispered, looking round at the hundreds of students around them. 

"We're gonna stay together though, right?" Niall said, a worrying tone to his voice. 

"Of course. We're a part of the movement now." Harry replied, placing a hand on Niall's shoulder, offering a reassuring smile.

"I'm glad I met you four boys." Zayn added. They all nodded and smiled in agreement. 

"Can all second year students please make their way to the staging in school for the ceremony." The announcement travelled over the playground.

"C'mon, let's bring it in for a group hug." Louis said, pulling the boys in. For a few moments they stood in a circle hugging,  reminiscing over their years together forming their strong friendship. 

A lot had happened throughout their life at The School for Specially Gifted, and on the same level not a lot had happened. Harry had never admitted his feelings towards Louis, scared to find the results. What he had discovered though was that his classmate Jos had a liking towards him when he was asked to practise his long distance mind-reading on her in class. He decided to bring it up one day on another early morning meeting and although they may have never dated, they did become good friends. 

Niall started dating a girl named Sarah who had the power to turn completely invisible. Niall was transfixed with her, now having been going out for 10 months. Everyone assumed they would grow to marry one day. 

Zayn and Liam became secure best friends and formed a strong bond between each other. There was not a time where you wouldn't find one boy without the other. Zayn briefly dated a girl but it didn't last long. Liam never had any relationships, prefering to spend all his time with his best friends. Friendship was far better than love, Liam had always thought.

"Zayn Javaad Malik." Zayn stepped up onto stage to recieve his certificate, and there was a cheer from his four friends and his family. He looked to the array of seats and caught his mother's proud smile, and smiled back before joining the other students who had already been up on stage. A few more students names were read out before the ceromony was over and students were allowed to collect their belongings and step out the school doors for the last time.

The boys went to dorm room 3 to gather their cases. All five boys stood in the middle of the dorm room, not wanting to leave each other.

"Hey, remember when Niall fell off his bunk..." Louis said, laughing. The others laughed too as Niall turned a shade of red.

"Let's just say it's a good thing I have healing powers otherwise that probably would've been a trip to the hospital." Niall chuckled.

"What about the time Liam punched a hole in the wall." Harry said, raising his eyebrows at Liam. Liam shuffled his feet as the boys laughed. 

"That was hilarious Liam." Louis said, lightly punching him on the arm. 

"Good thing it wasn't your face Louis, eh?" Liam replied, turning to Louis.

"C'mon then, let's settle this." Louis said, jokingly going to punch Liam. Liam just laughed, not wanting to hurt Louis. 

"I better get going, my mum's insisting on going out for dinner tonight." Zayn said, picking up his backpack and slinging it over his shoulder.

"Same." Liam and Niall said in unison, picking up their bags. 

"Well, we'll see you next whenever we're called up for 'the movement'." Niall said, pulling the boys in for another hug. They left their dorm room, leaving Louis and Harry alone. 

"You're a good lad Harry." Louis smiled, patting Harry on the shoulder.

"You too Louis." Harry said. He hugged Louis, his head resting just under Harry's chin. Where Harry had continued to grow over the years, it seemed that Louis hadn't grown much more. Louis couldn't have been even 6 foot, and Harry still found him as adorable as he did the first day he met him.

"I'm going to miss you Harry... and your terrible skateboarding." Louis sniggered.

"I wasn't that bad! Was I?" Harry replied, smiling. Silence fell on the two boys, and Harry suddenly considered telling Louis his feeings then.

"I'm gonna go now. Family will be wondering where I am. See you around Styles..." Louis said as he stepped out the door and made his way down the hallway.

"Wait!" Harry shouted, running out the door. He caught Louis up on the top of the stairs.

"Yeah?" Louis said, stopping. Harry looked into Louis' eyes, his heart beating fast. For a moment Harry said nothing and just stared. 

"I'll miss you." Harry whispered, too nervous to say what was really on his mind. Louis chuckled.

"I'll miss you too Harry." He said before walking down the stairs and waving his goodbye. Harry stood at the top of the stairs and watched as his true love left his grip.
