Ashton:

"Honey I'm hoOoMe!" Calum shouts when we enter Niall's house.

I shake my head. "You dork."

He stuck his tongue out at me. Just then, Niall came around the corner. Him being up before we got here is a shocker.

"You're up?" I ask.

"Yep," he had a cheeky smile.

"Wow," Luke said in awe.

"What?"

"You're up before 10:00 and before food is mentioned," Luke points out.

"So?"

My eyes widen. "There's someone isn't there?"

"What? No! No."

"Why are you up then?"

He shrugged. "Hungry?" he asked.

"I'm eating on the way," we all said at the same time.

Then we all laugh because we didn't expect everyone to say that.

Zayn:

Louis was up before me today. Mikey was still asleep.

"Early awakening or what?"

He shrugged. "No."

When we showed up at school, Niall motioned Louis over. Louis didn't go however, and he walked over to us.

"You all left kinda early last night."

Louis looks at Michael. "I'm gonna head to class early. See ya in class. Bye Zayn," he told us.

"Bye."

"Wait I'm coming with you." Michael ran off.

"Jerks!" I shouted at them. "I should head to class as well." I left Niall.

Harry:

Niall ran up to us. "Cal, Haz. Let's get to class early."

"What's up with you today?" I hear Calum speak up.

"Nothing... Let's go."

Michael:

"What's that about?"

"He knows about the Hecklers."

"What?!"

"Shut up!" he whisper-yelled. "He asked me about them."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I said I had to go home. If we could call it that. Really it's just some other placement."

"Is that why you left?" a small voice asked.

Louis:

Shit. Shit. Shit.

"You could've told me I made you uncomfortable.." Niall said.

"It's... Uhh...."

Niall walked away. He looked sad.

The teacher walked in. "Alright. New seating arrangements." He started listing off names and I wasn't really paying attention. That was until I heard my name. "Louis Tomlinson next to Niall Horan."

I looked at Niall. He was already looking at me. Then, he smiled at me. His smile wasn't a happy smile. It looked like a sad smile. Everyone sat in their seats. Niall handed me a piece of paper a little into class.

'I didn't know you knew the Hecklers
I'm so so sorry'

I smiled. I like his handwriting.

'It's okay'

I wrote back. He smiled.

'I'm happy it is
Can I ask you something'

'You just did'

'Please louis *begging on knees*'

'Hmm
Sure'

'What is a placement home
Is it like an illegal home'

I thought for a moment. Can I trust him? Sighing, I wrote:

'No      it is a home for kids looking for a home'

He just looked at the paper. Then he wrote something. When I got it back, it said:

'Why would you need one    I mean you don't need a family right'

'No    I'm a foster kid
Please don't tell anyone     That's all I want you to do- keep the secret'

He looked at me confused.

'It has to be a secret'

'Please'

Niall looked at me again. He nodded, wrote something down, and gave it to me.

'You won't get in trouble
Meet me after school      I walk home and I want to show you around and work on the project'
