I reach over and slam my hand down on the alarm clock and roll out of bed, ‘ughhhhh I hate Mondays’ I think to myself. “Harry get your ass down stairs and eat you lazy ass” gemma shouts from downstairs. “coming” I quickly reply as I make my way down the stairs and walk into the kitchen. “wheres mum” I ask. “she left fro work early so your stuck with me” she says as she smiles. “yay” I say as I get out a bowl of lucky charms.after im done with my cereal me and gems jump in the car and start to drive to school. When the car starts our usual station comes on and one of my favorite songs come on so I sing along.

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I'm wide awake
I am trying to hold on
I'm wide awake
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
I'm wide awake
I'm not blind anymore...
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
“you know you can really sing” gemma says “no I cant I suck” I say sadly, “no seriously you can I think you could win that talent contest actually your that good” she says”. As she says that we pull up to the school, as I get out I shout “ nope I suck” and run into the school. I see my friends walking towards me mid conversation. “hey hazza hows it goin” zayn asks. “fine z lets just get to class before were late” I say as we rush of to English. As class is starting our teacher walks in smiling. “good morning class I have an announcement, we have a new irish exchange student” mr. Beckett says. As hes saying it this pale blond kind with electric blue eyes comes in and walks over to mr. Beckett. “introduce yourself kid” mr beckett says as he gestures to the class. “umm hi im Niall Horan I like to play sports I play the guitar and I like to sing oh and im gay” he says with a smile which quickly plummets when hbe sees the number of disgusted faces on the students. I smile and stick my hand up. “yes mr. Styles” mr Beckett asks. “Niall can sit beside me mr. Beckett” I say. “that’s great harry go sit beside Harry Niall” he says. Niall slowly walks over to me but as hes about to put his stuff down he drops his pencil. I reach down and take it and put it on his desk. When I look back up hes gawking at me. “what” I say “oh nothing its just most people aren’t that nice to me” he says sadly. “well im not homophobic if that’s what your talking about” I say happily. “well that’s great” he says as he sits down. “hey seeing as what the reaction of the rest of the class was to your announcement do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch” I ask. “sure if my two friends can sit with us” he says with a smile. “sure” I reply. “ wait what will your friends think of me being gay” “you know I really don’t know the conversations never really come up I guess ill have to ask” I reply.
****RINGGG****RING*****RING*****RING*****
“what class do you have next niall” I ask, “umm music” “ oh me to lets go” I say as I pull him along to music.
After music me and niall are talking when Eleanor Louis girlfriend comes running up to us. When she stops she glares at niall then says. “ughhhh Harry why are you talking to that fag” “Eleanor three things. one, nothing is wrong with being gay. Two, never use that word again. Three, shut up you stupid bitch and leave we aren’t friends anymore” I say as I grab nialls wrist and pull him along while rudely pushing Eleanor out of the way. When we turn the corner and we are out of Eleanors view Niall stops me and pulls his wrist out of my grip. “ you didn’t have to do that you know” he says quietly. “yes niall I did I can not tolerate homophobic views so yes I had to do that” I say as I smile. “now lets go to lunch” I say as I grab his wrist again and pull him to our table in the cafeteria. “hey guys this is Niall” I say as we sit down. Zayn, Liam, and Danielles heads turn to look at us when I talk. Liam extends his hand “hi im Liam and if im not mistaken you’re the gay right” he says with a smile. Niall grabs his hand and shakes it “yeah I am is that a problem. “hi im Zayn and no of course its not” he says with a smile. “I knew you two wouldn’t be homophobic” I say with a smile. “where are those friends of yours niall” I ask “ ummmmm I don’t know they should be coming I texted them to come” “well th—“ I start to say but im interrupted. “WHAT THE FUCK” I hear someone angrily shout from across the cafeteria. I turn to see a furious Louis speeding over to our table. “what the FUCK did you say to my girlfriend Harry” he spits out angrily. “I said shes and ugly homophobic bitch Louis because she is” I shout as I get up. “well you’re the one hanging out with the FAG harry” “and with that ladys and gentleman our friendships down the drain good bye Louis” I shout as I sit down. I turn my head to look at him again. “oh and your off the team please give your gear and jerseys to coach” I say as I turn my head around. “FUCK NO I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS COME ON LIAM ZAYN DANI LETS GO” he shouts as he looks at them. They turn their heads to look at us and ignores him. “WHAT YOUR DITCHING ME FOR THAT FAG FINE GO TO HELL ILL GET YOU ALL BACK FOR THIS” he shouts as he storms out of the cafeteria. With Eleanor trailing fastly behind him.
“well theres the end of that friendship” I say sadly with liam zayn and Danielle nodding there heads silently. “well at least you gained three as well” someone says from behind me. I turn to see a tall girl with brown hair that’s down to her neck with green eyes, and a guy that looks a little taller than the girl with curly brown hair and Brown eyes. She turns to look at niall and says “hi im Erin and this is my brother Zach and were Nialls adopted siblings”
