JOSH.

"Josh?"
"Josh, wake up!"

I slowly begin to wake to the voice of my little brother, James. He's only 10 and I'm left with him after my mum and dad went to 'town' one day and never came back. I guess you could say I've developed a 'dad' mode.

"Yeah, James?" I mumble as my morning voice sweeps through.

"Harry's here for you to take him and me to school." James tells me as he runs back downstairs to talk to Harry. I've been taking Harry to school everyday for year. His mum killed herself when he was young and his dad is a mess. I look after him like James, I guess.

I pull my curtains apart as I look out my window. Raining. Great. I grab and jumper and jeans and throw them on whilst brushing my teeth. Once done, I run downstairs to see Harry and James giggling over a tv show.

"Hey, Bog." I say as I walk over and ruffle his hair. Harry looks at me and smiles brightly and hugs me closely.

"You alright, Harry?" I ask softly as i always do. Harry isn't exactly normal. He's insane to people. But he's not insane to us.

He nods against my chest and back out from the hug and then go to James. "Had breakfast, little one?" As I sit next to him.

"Yeah, just before Harry came."

"Okay well in that case let's get going." I say as I collect my car keys. I'm 17 and took my dad's car as he left it, I guess that's one good thing I took after they left.

James puts his coat and shoes on as we all make our way to the car, we shortly drop James off at his school and then make the drive to ours.

"There's apparently a new kid, josh." Harry tells me as he stares with that innocent look that holds so much.

"Really? Know his name?" I ask, surprised. Our school has never had a student just join through the year.

"Logan. Logan Paul." Harry tells as he bites on his shredded fingers.

"Already sounds like an ass hole." I joke as Harry giggles.

I pull up to the school and park, me and Harry grab our bags and make our way into the canteen.

Along the way I find my self looking in the reception. There's who Harry was talking about. A blonde kid with an annoying face.

"Come on, Josh! The others are waiting." Harry giggles as he pulls on my hand. I chuckle and we walk into the canteen and there they were.

The rest of the sidemen.

That's what we're called. We're a group of boys who have some issues but we're the closest friends.

JJ (Olajide) is the first one to notice me and Harry and calls our names, gaining the attention of the rest of the table.

"'Bout time you guys made it, we're gonna be late for lesson one!" Vikk worries.Vikk's a nerd and is very up for school and classes, being late could send him into a panic attack.

"Yeah, come on guys." I tell them as we all make our way to our first class.

Me and Simon both have Geography and as we walked in I soon recognised the new kid. As I looked at him he stared right back with a glint in his eyes making me glare straight at him.

This isn't going to be a good year.
