Finally Wanted

Chapter Five

For as long he could remember, Corbin really hated school. Probably, no defiantly, because no matter where he went and what he did, the bullies always seemed to have it in for him. He had yet to go to a school and not get bullied.

He scowled up at the building and frustratedly adjusted the uniform jacket. The uniform he particularly hated. It consisted of long, dark blue pants, a white, short-sleeved button down shirt and a dark blue jacket to top it off.

His mind wandered back to earlier at the house and he shook his head. I probably could have been easier on them. He thought miserably to himself as he climbed the school steps.

-Flashback-
Corbin stared down at the uniform that was sitting on his bed, a scowl firm on his face. He turned his face to see Zayn watching him.

"I am not wearing that." He jerked his thumb at the uniform.

Zayn sighed. "That's the uniform, you're gonna have to Corbin."

Corbin scowled deeper and turned from Zayn. "This is fucked up." He muttered, kicking the bed frame.

"Hey, language." Zayn warned, walking away.

Corbin simply rolled his eyes and slowly got changed into the uniform, leaving the jacket off since the house was heated. Picking up his backpack, he shoved all his supplies into it roughly as his mind wandered back to all those years of him being bullied and tormented. He had managed to pick up a few self-defence moves, courtesy to living with a Karate Sensei for a month.

Sitting down on his bed, he zipped up his backpack and readjusted the bracelets covering his wrists.

"Hey Corb, Harry says to hurry up 'cause breakfast is ready." Mitch said in a rush, appearing out of nowhere to stand in front of his brother.

Corbin nodded absently, his eyes crinkled as he took in his brothers uniform. Mitch was wearing a black polo shirt with yellow borders, the shorts reached his knees and were a solid black.

"You're uniform is funny." Mitch giggled.

Rolling his eyes, Corbin got up and picked his bag up, dangling it from his fingers. "Don't remind me." He grumbled, following Mitch down to the kitchen. "This school better be worth it."

He dumped his bag hard onto the floor, making  Harry and Niall, who were standing at the table, to turn to face him, eyebrows raised.

"Careful Corbin." Harry said.

Corbin shrugged and took a seat next to Mitch at the table. In front of him were two bowls and a box of cereal.

"Where's the others?" Mitch asked as he took a bowl.

"Liam and Zayn left for the hospital a few minutes ago and Louis is getting his stuff ready." Harry replied, taking a bite from his toast.

"You boys excited for school?" Niall asked, handing the milk carton to Mitch, who took it and poured some into his bowl and procedeed to add Coco Pops.

He nodded, a grin on his face. "Uh-huh, I love school!" He yelled.

Harry chuckled and placed his plate into the sink. Turning back to them, he noted that Corbin had made no move to get breakfast. "Corbin, could you have some food please?"

Corbin looked up at him then slowly started to set out his food.

Harry smiled. "Thank you." He picked up his paperwork and left the kitchen, heading to his room.
