The Day Approaches

I was peacefully enjoying my dream when I felt my body being lifted up by thin air then I got pulled down by the force of gravity then I bounced up again. My half-conscious mind managed to have enough sense to know that I should not be bouncing around if I were in a bed. Which means I'm not in a bed. Where am I? Oh yeah, now I remember. A trampoline. "Quit jumping, Louis," I said, trying to keep myself from falling off. "It's time for school!" He yelled into my ear. I winced. "You need to hand in that Math's worksheet, remember? And Niall's driving you. I said, get up!"

I ignored this as best as I could. "I hate school," I mumbled, still trying not to fall out of the trampoline. "No one disobeys me. Get up!" He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up until I was in a sitting position. I admitted defeat and slowly shuffled up to my room like a zombie. "What?" I bumped into someone as I made my way up the stairs. Seemingly Liam. "Passion where were you?" He asked, letting out a sigh of relief. "You weren't in your room, or in the other boys'! I thought you ran away." "The last thing I would want to do is run away," I said tiredly, continuing my journey up the stairs. "I was on the trampoline. With Louis." "What ?" He asked again. "On the trampoline, are you kidding me?" I didn't bother replying. I just went up to my room, brushed my teeth and changed. School. That word has a lot of meanings. Four more days only with Lily, I thought sadly as I put on some jeans. Then my best friend wouldn't be with me. But on the other hand, four more days till I don't need to face Vanessa. That would be quite good for a change.

After I changed, I went over to Niall's room. He was lying on his bed with a bagel on his hand, spraying crumbs all over his bed. I brushed the crumbs out of the way and sat down. "I hear you're driving me to school today?" He nodded, his mouth too full so that he couldn't speak. "Nice. See you downstairs then?" I went out, not wanting to interrupt his lovely reunion with his bagel. In the kitchen, I grabbed my own bagel too and ate it while looking at my phone. "Oh yeah, I just remembered," Liam said, sitting down next to me and handing me a glass of orange juice. I took it and had a sip. "You just remembered to get me a glass of orange juice?"

"Don't be silly. I was just thinking, you can still have our numbers on your phone but we need to change the name of the contact, so people won't accidentally see it." I gave my phone and he tapped on it, giving it back to me after a few minutes. "There you go. I'm Train, Louis' Bear, Niall's Potato, Harry's Curlyhead, and Zayn's Silence." "That's creative." I pocketed the phone and finished up my breakfast. I waited for Niall to come down, and when he did, we went to the car. "I'm driving you to school." He hummed tunelessly, opening the car door for me. "Thanks, potato," I said, fastening my seatbelt.

"You called me what?" He frowned at me. "Potato." He looked thoughtful for a while, then a smile crept on his face. "I like it!" When we arrived at the school, Niall didn't let me go straight in. "Liam said you have to call him to make sure that you're still alive. He was afraid that I might crash the car." "He worries too much," I said, shaking my head, but took out my phone anyway. I scrolled through my contacts before realizing that Liam wouldn't be in there. And I had already forgotten their pretend names. Curlyhead was definitely Harry and Potato was Niall. But I had forgotten the others. Oh well, I'll just randomly call one. I called silence and waited for someone to pick up. "What." Said a voice, sounding like he had just woken up. "Oh, sorry for waking you up, Zayn," I said, and he grunted and hung up on me.

"What kind of brother is that," I muttered under my breath as I looked through my contacts again. Hm, maybe he's Bear. "Are you Liam?" I asked when 'Bear' picked up."Of course, I'm not." Said Louis. "Argh! Liam changed the name of my contacts so now I don't even know whether Bear, Silence or Train is himself!" Louis laughed. "Try Train. I think that's him." I hung up and dialled Train, hoping that I was third time lucky. "Liam Payne!" I burst out when the call got through. "Yes, love?" He asked casually. "I had to call Louis and Zayn before I got to you! Why the heck did you call yourself Train? I mean, do you look like a train? No. Do you sound like a train? No. Have I ever seen you on a train? No. so why on earth did you call yourself Train?" I ranted, feeling very annoyed.
