Make You Believe (Niall Horan Punk)

Chapter 2 - Everything Has Changed

*Skye's P.O.V.*

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, getting up and taking a shower.

I slowly got ready, not wanting to go to school.

I put my shoes on before walking out of our apartment complex and down the sidewalk of our shady neighborhood to the bus stop.

The yellow school bus pulled up and I got on the bus and sat down in a seat by myself like I usually do.

Most people don't like to be alone, but I've gotten used to it. I used to be best friends with Alicia Romano, the most popular girl in school, but we grew apart about a year ago. We were still friends, just not as close as we used to be. Over the summer she stopped talking to me after an incident involving Ryder, her older brother. Sometimes I wish Xander was still in high school so I had someone to talk to.

The bus pulled into the school parking lot and I climbed out of the bus, trying not to get in anyone's way.

A new black sports car pulled into the school parking lot. Clearly, it belonged to one of the spoiled rich kids.

I looked down at the sidewalk while I walked into the school.

Suddenly, I ran into somebody, sending my books to the ground.

"Sorry" I apologized shyly, kneeling on the sidewalk to gather my things.

The person I bumped into also kneeled down to help me pick up my books.

"Sorry, it's my fault" a familiar voice said.

I looked up to see Niall Horan helping me grab my books, which is the complete opposite of what he did Saturday.

"Sorry about Saturday, I was in a shitty mood" he said, reading my mind before standing up and holding his hand out to help me up.

"Thanks and don't worry about Saturday. I understand" I said after he helped me up.

Honestly, I was kind of scared of Niall. Last year he was sweet and friendly, but now he was different, now he was intimidating.

I never thought I would ever be intimidated by Niall, but I also never thought he would change so drastically.

"Well, I guess I'll see you around" he said as the bell rang. He hit the lock button on the remote attached to his keys, locking the black sports car.

"Yeah, see you around" I agreed quietly before he walked off.

I walked into the school and made my way over to my locker unnoticed.

Everyone was talking about Niall's new look and everyone was afraid to approach him.

I walked to my homeroom class and sat down in the corner in the back. Everyone else walked into the classroom sitting down. Alicia Romano and her sidekick Lyndsey Parson gave me a dirty look before sitting down.

I rolled my eyes at the two and Mrs. Weatherly started to introduce herself to the class when Niall walked through the classroom door.

"Late on the first day of school Mr. Horan? Not the best way to start the new school year" she scolded. He rolled his eyes at her in response. "Take a seat, there is one available next to Miss O'Sullivan in the back"

People started to whisper when he passed them on the way to his seat. I couldn't tell if they were talking about him or the incident I was involved in that occurred over the summer.

Niall sat down in the seat beside me and started doodling in a notebook.

Mrs. Weatherly started giving us the first day of school speech and I zoned out, staring at the wall.

"Careful Niall, don't let that whore ruin your reputation" Lyndsey said, referring to me.

"Shut the fuck up Lyndsey. You don't know what you're talking about" he retorted, shutting her up.

I don't know why Niall was being so friendly to me today. He probably just feels bad about Saturday, I told myself.

I looked down at my desk. I could feel everyone staring at me. I know they were talking about me and calling me a whore. Alicia probably told them about the incident, but she doesn't even know what really happened. She wouldn't listen to me and now she is spreading lies around the school.

I tried to ignore the whispers and stares, but I couldn't. Finally, I gave up and decided to play a game on my phone, since I have no one to text.

Sometimes I get lonely, but I'm used to the feeling. I've come to terms with the fact that I have no friends and as long as Alicia Romano is around, that will never change.
