At the end of the day

2 years later...

TONY'S P.O.V.

It was a morning like any other day, ever since the day my parents had passed away. I didn't want to go to school like the week when they had left me all alone. It was not because of Louis and his friends, but because I missed those mornings when my parents were here with me. Nothing has been the same since their death. No more home-cooked morning breakfast by my parents, no more fun talks with my mom, no more morning hugs from dad, no more love from my loved ones. Everything has changed.

I was very tired the day before and had gone to bed really late at night. So that's that and I got up really late in the morning. My phone rang up with the alarm buzzing loudly. Ahhhh... Just the perfect day to start the day with Alan Walker's Flying Dreams. I showered quickly and dressed into a black Avengers full-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of grey jeans. I put on my black Converse and threw my chocolate brown hair into a ponytail. I then put on my glasses and was ready to go. I don't wear makeup usually since I don't like it. I am just a geeky tomboy, so you know. I packed my black Adidas backpack and slung it around my shoulder. I grabbed my phone and my wireless Beats and left the house locking it securely.

On my way to school I grabbed a Starbucks frappucino from Walmart and walked to school, sipping it slowly. When I reached school, I checked my phone and it read 7:30 am. Half an hour more to go until the classes start. Wow. I thought I was late but nope. I went to my locker and saw cheerful souls pass by with their groups of friends as usual. Nothing new, to be honest. I was quietly standing by my locker listening to Let You Down by NF and was playing Marvel Future Fight. The music softly hummed through the Beats until someone pulled it out of my right ear. Just great! Standing beside me was the last person I wanted to see on earth. Hold your breath, people. Standing beside me was the best football player of Westshore High, the one and only, Louis Tomlinson.

'Hello there, I don't know whether other people saw you or not today but I surely noticed you as always.' Louis beamed.

I rolled my eyes.

'Oi, sweetheart, you ought to reply when someone greets you so sweetly in the morning whether you deserve it or not.' Louis again whispered in my right ear.

'Oh, you said something? I didn't see you there. Sorry, mate.' I replied.

Louis smirked sarcastically, 'Playing games with me, eh? Don't worry. You anyway don't deserve anyone. You should be grateful that I, being a nice person, is talking to you at the moment calmly. By the way, it was great to hear your voice after what seemed like ages. You see, I love it when I get on your nerves. Bye, see you in the History class.'

As he walked down the corridor with his dumb mates who tagged along behind him, I rolled my eyes. I was so excited to see another drama unfold today. Note the sarcasm. Unfortunately, I had at least one class with each of the boys everyday, but thankfully either Chris or Tom would be there to help me live through the class.

The bell had rung. I took my History book and binder and tagged along the hallway after stuffing my phone and Beats in my pocket. I was soon joined by Tom and Chris just greeted me and went on his way to the Chemistry class.

Tom said, 'How was your morning?'

I sighed, 'You know what happens every morning. That Tomlinson getting on my nerves as always. How come he is like this whereas his parents are so sweet and nice to me?'

'Well, that remains a mystery, you know. Well, how are you?'

'Just living, so you know. I'm still trying to get used to these changes though I know it has already been 2 years. I miss those days. I miss my parents and the old me too.' I looked down as I walked to the class.

'Don't worry, I miss you too. But soon, you will get used to your new life and I hope we'll get back our old Tony with whom we used to laugh so much and had fun.' Tom assured as he rubbed my back. I also held his hand and gave him a weak smile. I squeezed his hand which made me feel a lot better.

When we reached the class, Mr. Connor hadn't arrived yet. But the whole class was buzzing with students and only two seats were left at the back of the class. Just wow! Out of all the seats in the world I had to seat behind Louis while Tom sat beside me in the corner of the room since he was being as stubborn as a child. After Mr. Connor arrived, Louis took his seat in front of me after he was done flirting with Alexa, the leader of the cheer-leading squad. When he sensed my presence behind him, he winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him. Tom saw this and chuckled, so I hit his arm. Only God could now save me from the devil incarnate himself.
