Highschool Love

Chapter 1

This was Niall's first day at the new school. He had his normal classes, and then his parents insisted on him joining an after school club.
Louis walked into school with Zayn. He accidentally bumped into a blond haired boy looking at the roster for after school groups.
"Oops sorry my bad. Guess Zaynie over here distracted me."
"Boobear, I told you not to call me Zaynie. I'm a freshmen this year and to old for such nicknames."
Niall laughed at the two boys. "It's ok, I was kinda standing in the way. I'm Niall. Niall Horan, I'm new in town." Niall said in an Irish accent.
"I'm Louis and this is Zayn. Nice to meet you Niall."
Suddenly the bell began to ring violently. The kids began to rush toward their classes. Niall stood in the hall with no clue where to go. "Nice to meet you too" he said our loud.
What a brilliant way to start the day he thought.
"I guess I should try to find the class I should be in."
"Hey, do you need help? A slow deep voice spoke.
Niall jumped as he turned to look at the person who spoke.
"I'm sorry, didn't mean to startle you, just thought you might need some help."
"It's ok. I need to find Algebra 1, but I'm new here and have no clue where I'm going." Niall voiced with a small amount of desperation in his voice.
"That's my first class, come on with me, and I'll show you the way. These hallways can be confusing sometimes. I guess you missed orientation this weekend. They had a full afternoon of teaching us freshmen the hallways and classrooms. Here's the class. Me. Piper hasn't even started taking attendence yet."
"Thanks for your help umm, uhh."
"Harry Styles, and you?"
"Niall, Niall Horan."
The two boys walked into class to greet the teacher.
"Alright students, since today is the first day is school I've given you some grace in getting to class on time, however be forewarned because after this week I will tolerate no one getting to class late. We're here to learn not fool around understood?"
The class answered together with yes. Niall looked around the room feeling foreign. He came from a small town where he only had 8 other kids in his class. There had to be at least 50 in his class. As he looked around he noticed a brown haired curly boy trying to pass noted with Harry. He also noticed Louis and Zayn from earlier. He noticed they sat in the back row  paying zero attention to the teacher. Harry sat in the front and the curly boy passing notes sat behind him. Niall sat in the middle and tried to not be noticed. Math class passed slowly as Mr. Piper droned on about integers and absolute value. Finally class was over and Harry came over to Niall.
"Hey Niall, this is Liam. He's a freshman too. I have to go to a different class but he can show you to your next class."
Harry left leaving Niall and Liam standing awkwardly.
"So, I'm Niall"
"Liam, what's your next class?"
"Umm, Music Appreciation." Niall said looking down at his schedule.
"Oh, hey we have another class together." Liam said happily trying to make things less awkward.
Zayn and Louis walked by. Then they stopped and turned around.
"Hey Ireland, you wanna chill with us in Music Appreciation?" Louis asked.
"Ireland, really Louis?" Liam asked judgmentally.
"Hey it's a good nickname and I call all my friends by nicknames." Louis answered back defensively.
"What's Harry's next class?" Asked Niall trying to run interference.
"I don't know I'll have to ask him." Liam replied.
"We should start getting to class. I don't wanna be late again." Niall announced.
"You weren't even that late bro. Besides you heard the teacher. This week is a grace time." Zayn answered.
"Niall's right, we should start heading to class." Liam spoke.
The four boys begin walking down the hall towards class with Liam leading the way next to Niall. Zayn and Louis walked behind them laughing and joking to each other. Very soon thereafter they arrived at the music class and went in.
"Are you the freshman boys?"
The boys nodded at her.
"This class is a mix between all the grades, so I will be splitting my time with the grades, however if you boys need more help just raise your hand. Since you're all freshmen, I would like you all to sit in the corner with the black piano and the two cherry wood guitars. That way I can keep my classes arranged in the room."
The boys headed over to the piano. As the teacher turned to her white board. This room was by far the most comfy room Niall had seen. She had bean bags situated with little boards so the kids could write on those and still be comfy. Soon she called their attention up to the board as she began to explain what the different notes were and what the notes were on each line of the music staff. The class passed quickly, and too soon it was over. Louis and Zayn hasn't stopped poking fun of each other throughout the entire class.
"Hey Ireland, it's break time, do you want to join us and go outside?"
"Hey guys." Harry called out to them as his long legs carried him over to them.
"Here comes the giraffe." Louis said.
"Hey, that's not nice. Cut it out." Liam said putting on his parent voice.
"It's ok Li, it's just boobear's nickname for me. Right boo?" Harry asked tauntingly while turning towards Louis.
Louis looked at Harry with fire in his eyes. The only person he allowed to call him Boobear was Zayn.
"Hey guys, where's Niall? Liam asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
