Harry's POV

I had lunch with Niall, Liam, Zayn and Louis again. Zayn was talking about what happened in art class. Apparently there was a paint fight happening between these guys who are sworn enemies. One of the guys wanted to hit the other guy so bad that he just threw paint at the other one aiming for his eye. But the boy missed and they both started pouring paint on one another until the teacher came in and brought them to the office.

"What idiots!" Niall comments after hearing Zayn's story. Liam nods agreeing with Niall. Louis didn't even hear Zayn's story because he was blasting his music too loud through his headphones while doing some homework.

"It was so funny though. I think those two guys dated during freshman year. Yeah, Marcus and Tyler. Remember them?" Zayn asked. Niall and Liam both nod while I sit knowing nothing.

"Oh my god, they were cute together. Harry, Marcus and Tyler are two guys that started dating during freshman year. Everybody loved them. But I guess Marcus was caught cheating on Tyler with a girl and they broke up terribly." Niall explained which I was thankful for.

"Yeah, Tyler made this huge scene in the hallways with Marcus and basically broke up there. It was insane." Liam added.

"Ever since sophomore year, they've been fighting a lot. If you hear there is a fist fight or argument in the hallways, it's 95% them." Zayn said.

That sucks. Breaking up because your partner cheating is terrible. It's not because you stopped loving that person, it's because of what that person that you thought you love actually hurt you so much that your love for them turns into hate.

The lunch bell rings and lunch was over. Zayn got Louis' attention and we all exit the cafeteria. Louis and I disperse from Niall, Liam and Zayn. I knew where our next class was so I wasn't walking too close to Louis.

We got to music class and I just remembered what happened yesterday. I stand there trying to take deep breaths and calm down.

I guess Louis noticed me before entering class and walked towards me. He puts two of his hands on my shoulders while I continue to try to stay calm.

"Hey, calm down. You'll be fine today. The guys who spoke to you yesterday are not here." Louis said that soothed me instantly. He rubbed my arms and gave me a small smile. "C'mon now, or else our teacher will mark us absent."

Louis removes his hands from my shoulder and walks beside me with one hand behind my back.

"Why are you doing this? I know you don't want to." I asked while we enter the classroom.

"Because we are now friends and as a friend I should be by your side and help you get through this." Louis said. He's lying, I can tell by the lack of eye contact.

"When did you ever offer me to be your friend? All you do is make me feel like a burden. That doesn't seem very friendly to me" I said with my usual soft voice. I don't even let him answer before I walk to the other side of the class.

This time I go on the far right of the class that had an empty seat beside a boy who had a similar tan skin colour as Zayn and had his hair in a quiff. He was wearing a black shirt and black skinny jeans with some white and black sneakers.

"Is this seat taken?" I asked the boy.

"No, you could sit there." He said with a deep voice. I settle my bag down on the floor and sit down in the chair behind a desk. "You must be the new kid, Harry right?"

"Yeah my names Harry. What's yours?" I asked the friendly boy.

"My name is Tyler." He said. He pulled out his hand and offered me to shake it. He gave me a small smile before I offered my hand and shook his hand.
