Nick's POV

*A few days later, Thursday of the next week probably*

"Happy birthday to youuuu, happy birthday to Awsten, happy birthday to youuuu" I heard from my locker first thing Thursday morning. It was Awsten's birthday, Awsten, he was someone from that group that keep going up to me, right? I looked over and saw them place a party hat on him. It was only fair I got something, they got me something.

At break I nipped to the shop across the road from the school. I obviously didn't know what Awsten liked so I got him some chocolate twirls, like they gave me for that lunch, I still feel bad about not eating that and just throwing it away, but it was for my own good.

So with the chocolate swirls I bought a cool earring with a bone on it, I saw he had an ear pierced so I got one. During my other class periods I drew him a picture of a cat. I don't know why, I like cats, I mean, who doesn't like cats, so I thought why not.

Right at the start of lunch I went to art for 15 minutes to finish the colour on it and quickly went to his locker before they would get back, I'm assuming they all would again because there was stuff left at the bottom of the locker that wasn't there before, and they all seem to go everywhere together, which I guess is kinda weird but I'm not judging.

I wrote a little note that read; 'Happy birthday (is what I heard), hope you like twirls! look at the top of the locker' ew I hate myself, I sound way too enthusiastic. Well, it's done in pen so too late, I didn't leave my name obviously but I stick it on his locker with some blue tack that I apparently had in my bag and put the gifts on the indent and the top.

I heard them coming around the corner so I quickly left, I kinda wanted to see the reaction so I stayed to watch a bit.

He opened all the presents that everyone else got him.

"Alright, which one of you left this" He smiled, nodding his head towards the note.

"What?" A ghostly looking one said.

"That, the note?"

"What note- oh?" Another one with black hair and was very tall realized. I think that one was Lloyd.

"Wait that wasn't any of us?" One with brown hair all swept to the side spoke. They told me all of their names but my memory sucks and I can't really remember any of them apart from Awsten because they were singing happy birthday this morning and then Andy and Patty because they found me in Andy's locker.

"Come on guys" Awsten Laughed again.

"No seriously, who the hell wrote this?" Vic, I think spoke, maybe? I can't remember.

"'Look on the top of the lockers'" Another read out off the note and Awsten reached at the top to find the gifts.

"Twirls and, yo, this is sick, he said and switched the earring with the one he was wearing.

"But who-" he was cut off because I lent against a locker that just so happened to have an outward dent in it, therefore making that 'popping' noise, you know what I'm saying?

Their heads flashed towards me so I went wide-eyed and made the quickest escaped to get out of that situation.

Awsten's POV

We were silent, and in disbelief

'Oh my god" a few of us said simultaneously.

"He got you a gift dude, that's awsome" Kevin said.

"I know, I gotta say thank you, but when and how?" I spoke.

"Maybe he's actually starting to warm up to us?" Adam pointed.

"Or he just feels bad because we got him something" Oli validated then shrugged.

"Sshhhh, don't ruin the moment" Patty said whilst jokingly putting a finger to Oli's lips.

"Wait, but how did he know it was my birthday" I inquired.

"We where pretty loud singing happy birthday this morning" Dan laughed and we joined.

"Woo, did he draw this?" Patty picked the picture up from the dents on top of the lockers.

"Holy shit" half of us said at the same time.

Lunch rolled by, all of us apart from Kellin are sitting at the table.

He started running up to the table and got all of our attention.

"Guys, guys, guys, guys GUYS!"

"What, what, what, WHAT!" Andy replied amusing the rest of us.

"Charles, Mason, Callum and a few of the others were suspended, from tomorrow till, not next Monday but the Monday after that" Kellin panted.

"Yo, seriously?" Johnny questioned.

"Yeah, I heard them in the principals office, they were caught smoking under the bleachers" he explained.

"Hey that means Nick won't get beat up for a week" Lloyd laughed.
