True Friends

ONE

I walk through the unfamiliar hallways of my new school. Kids brush past me in every direction. I look down at the map I'm holding and try and navigate myself to my first class.

"Hello!" A voice pipes from in front of me. I look up and see a girls face directly across from my own.

"Um hi" I say.

"My name is Bonnie! I'm the SRC Member for year 11. I trust you are the new student from Wollongong?"

"Um yeah. Miley. Miley Ari" I smile and stretch my hand to shake. She grabs my outstretched arm and vigorously shakes it.

"Well let's take a look at your schedule. Yes we have the same classes the whole way through the week. Follow me to your first class here at NCC"

I follow Bonnie through the halls to my first class. English. Eww.

I basically fall asleep as Mr Flowerpot lectures us about film techniques. Bonnies hand shoots up at every opportunity to answer a question.

"You don't like English?" a boy whispers into my ear.

"Nope. It's about as fun as getting braces" I reply. I've never had braces though, but I've heard it's not fun.

"Nope. Braces is better" he says.

I laugh under my breathe then look at the boy. He has gorgeous blue eyes and a hair colour which I can't distinguish between brown and blonde.

"My names Niall. And what's your name might I ask?" he grins.

"Miley" I reply with a smile.

A/N : THE AGES OF THE BOYS ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF WHACK I KNOW BUT I DIDNT KNOW HOW ELSE TO FIT THEM IN. SORRY!

"That's a nice name. I mean if you rule out the link between the name and Miley Cyrus" he smiles. I hope he is not a jerk like some of the guys back at my old high school.

"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Just mucking around" he added after examining my expression.

"It's alright. It's not like I've heard that joke a thousand times already" I reply smiling weakly.

"Miss Ari," the teacher called. I quickly snapped to attention.

"Here" I said blindly.

"This is not the roll. I called upon you to answer my question. Can't you remember?" sir patronises me. Everyone stares at me. I feel my face redden.

"I'm sorry sir but I don't know the answer" I say.

"Oh well Zoe. Can you please tell me what 1+1 is?"

"Of COURSE sir. It's equals 2" Zoe replies. I can tell by the way she answered that she was the teachers pet.

"Excellent. Now Miley please stay back after class" sir says.

Great first day. First class. May as well add first detention. I slump back in my chair just as Niall springs up.

"1+1 doesn't even equal 2. It's a common mistake. I'm sure Miley was just thinking of the mechanics of how she was supposed to intelligently reply. Aren't you supposed to teach us if we don't know the answer? But instead you give us detention. I'm sorry but that's just not right" he states. Everyone sniggers at him.

"Mr Horan. If 1+1 does not equal 2 I would be delighted to know what it does mean." Sir replies.

"Jesus" Niall says. Everyone looks stunned. I myself am quite taken aback.

"Jesus is always the answer" Niall says. And I have to agree. He played that card very well. Bonnie looks really impressed. Niall mustn't be that smart.

"Ok. I can't argue against religious beliefs. So lucky for you Miley you don't have to stay in after class."

Niall sits back down and I give him a look of pure awe. He just smirks and winks at me. Oh wow! It's not even the end of first period and I already have a crush. No. I. Don't. I can't let myself fall for another one.

The bell rings and everyone piles out of class. Niall and Bonnie drag me along with them. I think they're pretty close friends.

"Okay guys now it's Music. Niall's strong point." Bonnie says.

I look at Niall and he just smiles widely at me. I think he's gonna be a true friend.

A/N: HEY GUYS. IM SORRY IF THIS IS REALLY BAD BUT IM VERY BAD AT WRITING BOOKS AND STORIES. THIS IS LIKE MY THIRD ONE NOW SO YEAH. VOTE AND SHARE!
