Niall Horan walked nervously through the hallways of Redwood Secondary. He maneuvered his way to the principal's office through the crowds of people catching up from summer vacation.  Seeing girls squeal in delight and hug each other tightly while the boys settled for a fistbump or bro hug made him remember his friends back in Ireland. Oh how he'll miss his best friend James and the pranks they used to do. Letting out a sigh he walked into the waiting room in the principal's office and took a seat near the door since the secretary lady was already helping a group of students. 

To entertain himself, Niall played with his nails. In the corner of his eye, he saw someone sit in the chair next to him. The boy was tall and had short brown hair with the sides shaven. The boy turned towards him, smiled and said ,"Hey, my name's Liam."

"I'm Niall," said Niall as he took a proper look at Liam. Liam was wearing an unbuttoned red flannel shirt over a black T-shirt and plain blue jeans. Liam seemed to be summing Niall up too with his brown eyes, making Niall feel a little subconscious about his outfit that he spent twenty minutes putting together this morning. Normally he'd just throw anything on and a pair of matching high tops and sometimes a snapback but today he was wearing a loose grey shirt, black skinny jeans with a little rip on the knee and a pair of black high tops. The first day of school meant first impressions and since he's new, Niall thought he might as well look good and today he looked good

"Are you new? I've never seen you before," Liam asked furrowing his eyebrows. 

"Yeah, just moved from Ireland two weeks ago," Niall replied and Liam simply nodded.

The group of students were leaving so Niall and Liam went up to the secretary to get their class schedules. "Niall you want to compare schedules?" Liam said after the lady handed them theirs. Niall gave Liam his schedule and looked over Liam's broad shoulders to compare them himself. They had second period English, fifth period Chemistry and Music during last period together.

"Okay," Liam said handed Niall back his schedule," You have History first, that's in room 132 down the hall on your left. The English room is 133 so I guess I'll see you in second period. I'm heading off to Biology."

"Alright thanks for the directions," Niall replied as they exited the office and went their separate ways. Niall followed Liam's  directions and almost bumped into a boy wearing a long black tank top and black skinny jeans. His hair was black and slick and he wore black earrings. 

In History, Niall took a sit near the window and prepared for class but the sound of giggling girls got his attention. At the back of the class stood a boy with messy brown hair and stunning blue eyes surrounded by a group of pretty girls. He leaned against the wall and was wearing a black and white striped shirt, red pants and black toms.

"So Louis, how was your summer?" a girl said while gripping Louis arm and twirling her hair with her other hand.

"Pretty good Elle," Louis said causing the girl to giggle which made absolutely no sense to Niall. How is saying 'Pretty good Elle' funny? he thought and that says a lot because Niall finds many things funny.

Soon the teacher came in, which Niall was thankful for because that group in the back was starting to make Niall gag. The lesson would have been quite boring if Louis hadn't made constant remarks. It took Niall a lot of self control not to burst out laughing but as soon as old Mrs. Holder dismissed the class he, as well as a few other kids, started laughing uncontrollably.

Even as Niall walked into the English room he was still snickering. He sat in the middle of the class and waited for Liam. Louis walked in as well as that guy he almost bumped into in the hallway earlier. Liam came in followed by a tall boy with curly, brown hair.
