Boarding school life

"Lili, is Louis coming today?" Niall asked Liam curling more into his side. Niall had seeked comfort in Liam's bed last night as it was the first night back and Niall was in a lot of pain. A year on and Niall still hadn't said a word about his beatings to anyone.

"Yep all the new boys are starting today, that's why all returning students had to be back yesterday so everyone can meet their new buddies." Liam explained hearing Harry start to shift around on the bunk above him.

"Do you think he'll like me?" Niall asked and Liam smiled.

"I'm sure he will, just remember what I said Okay, he's very quiet and shy until he gets to know people. He already knows me as I met him before the end of last term so he might cling to me for a while but I'm sure once he gets comfortable around you then he'll love you." Liam said and Niall nodded.

"Start getting ready for me then please ni, you need to wear your uniform today as well."

"But Li, there's no classes."

"I know but after you fell asleep last night there was a message sent round." Liam said and Niall sighed but nodded and headed to his room which by the end of the day would no longer just be his. His room now contained a bunk bed rather than just a single bed and there was double of everything so Louis could have access to the same things as Niall even though the boy didn't necessarily need a desk since he was going to be in reception but the school treated everyone fairly no matter their age.

"Harry come on wake up." Liam said shaking Harry's shoulder. Harry groaned and pushed Liam's hand away tucking himself closer to the wall.

"Come on mate Louis' coming today and we need to get this place cleaned up and ready before being down in the main hall by 11." Liam said reciting what he had been told last night.

"11, why so early, it's Sunday." Harry grumbled rubbing his eyes.

"Apparently it gives us time to get them settled and everything and then there's a big dinner at 4 to welcome all the new boys." Liam said and Harry nodded.

"Does that mean there's no lunch today?"

"Nope now get dressed in uniform and then we're head down for breakfast as I won't make it till 4 if I don't eat breakfast." Liam stated before grabbing his own uniform and heading into the bathroom.

Harry huffed as he watched Liam go into the bathroom first but none the less got down from his top bunk and started rummaging through his suitcase, which he still needed to unpack, for his uniform. Normally they didn't have to wear uniform on weekends or after classes but due to all new boys started it was required all students to be in full uniform. Rather than wasting time waiting for the bathroom, which would be a while as Harry could hear the shower running, he went to check on Niall knowing he had slept with Liam last night after he had a toilet trip in the middle of the night and saw the pair. Niall would normally end up sleeping with Liam as he claimed it was too much effort to climb into Harry's bunk at night and Harry couldn't blame him as it was a pain for him too.

"Morning Ni, You Okay?" Harry asked seeing the boy concentrating hard while trying to tie his school tie."

"I can't do it hazzy." Niall whined and harry chuckled quickly doing it for Niall before telling him to tuck his shirt in.

"Do I have to?"

"Yep, now come on when I come back I expect you completely dressed and ready to go and get some breakfast." Harry said hearing the bathroom door open and then his best mate shout that the bathroom was available.

"Fine." Niall huffed as harry disappeared to shower and get dressed himself.

Once Harry came out the bathroom dressed in full uniform he bumped into Liam.
