Secrets, Lies and Love (A Harry Styles and Niall Horan fanfic)

Highschool Drama

You know that feeling you get when you love someone? Me neither. My name is Ella. And as you can guess, I've never been in that type of relationship where you really feel anything. I've had a few flings and short relationships. But, I want a certain type of love, the type where you feel sparks. Is that crazy?

I'm just a typical 17 year old. I enjoy annoying my brother little brother Jack who is 12. I go to highschool at Holmes Chapel. I live with my mom, brother, and black lab named Layla (who I absolutely adore). My life is pretty normal. I've got a few amazing friends who are always there for me. I met my best friend Leah when I was in grade school. She's a year younger than me, but it doesn't bother me because we're so used to eachother. I also have Harry, who is another one of my best friends. We dated a few years back, but we soon realized that we were stupid and it could cause us to hate eachother in the long run. But, I understand what I was thinking. He's really hot. He has those green kaleidoscope eyes that are to die for. And his hiar. God. Its curly and chocolate brown. I sometimes get asked if I'm crazy for not wanting him back, but I just couldn't do that. I don't want to ruin our friendship. He's perfect for someone, but that someone is just not me.

Tuesday, 7:30am.

"Ella, we're leaving the house in 15 minutes. If you don't get down here by then you'll have to find a different way to get to school." said mom.

"Mom, calm down. I'll be down in 5." I said. Seriously? I can get myself ready without being late. When my mom rushes me in the mornings, it puts me in a bad mood. And to make the morning worse, I saw that my crush, Niall, was in a relationship with the whore of our school on Facebook.. Really? This morning sucks.

We have to drop Jack of at his school on the way to mine. I swear, if he makes me late again my maths teacher is going to kill me. I've been late to his class four times in two weeks, and to add to the fire, I skipped class yesterday. I have a sneaking suspicion he's on to me. He's the one teacher that I absolutely hate.

Jack always got his way. My mom gives him everything he wants. It’s not like I’m jealous of him, I just find it annoying that he gets everything. Our family has been privileged enough to have the finer things in life, but I still work for what I want, unlike my brother. All he has to do it mention it and five minutes later, she’s at the store buying it for him. I appreciate everything we have, I just sometimes wish my brother had to work for the things he wants just like me. That’s fair, I would say.

I finally got to school and was heading to the courtyard to meet Leah and Harry. We met there every morning just to have a chat before school. A few days a week, Louis Zayn and Liam will join us, but we understand that they’re busy with their girlfriends and they don’t need to be with us at all teams. But Leah Harry and I, we’re like the three musketeers. We get along great and there never seems to be drama.

I was almost there when Leah and Harry came walking up to me.

“I’m glad we caught you! Harry wanted us to go to class early because he forgot to do his homework for maths class.” said Leah.

“And am I surprised? No.” I said.

“Hey! I do my homework every once in a while. If Mr. Calls made maths more interesting maybe I would think about doing my homework. But until then, I have no interest.” Harry said as they walked into class. Luckily Mr. Calls wasn’t there, because I am in no mood to deal with all of his questions of where I was yesterday. Its not like I can just tell him “Oh, well your class sucks so I sat under a tree down the street and listened to John Mayer until class was over.” so, as a cover story I’ll just tell him that my alarm didn’t wake me up and I woke up right before geography.

While Harry was scribbling down the answers to his work, Leah’s eyes got really big and she said “Oh shit! Ella! Look, here comes Niall and Slutty Katy!”

“Leah! Shut the hell up! He’ll hear you! And I already know. There was a rumor going around a few days back that they were together, and I saw this morning online that it was true.”

As I looked back, I all of a sudden got really jealous. Katy and Niall were holding hands. He looked like he had so much pride on his face and Katy just looked like it was the same old same old. She uses popular boys to get to the top and become popular herself. She makes me sick. She dated Harry for a week a little after we dated and it made me feel shitty. She is constantly putting people down to bring herself up. I didn’t want her to hurt Harry and so sat on his rib cage for three hours until he promised to break up with her. After seeing her using all of these guys, Harry often times thanks me for making him call it off. Class was just about to start and so I got up to go to my seat when I was rudely pushed. I fell on top of Harry’s desk which caused a big noise. Suddenly everyone was staring as they entered the room.

“Move whore! Did you not hear me?” said Katy. That bitch.

Right when I was about to slap her, someone stopped me.
