I'm living with my bully

*First Day Of School*

*Niall's POV*

Well today's the day. My first day at Clinton High School home of the "White Eskimos" (HA SEE WHAT I DID THERE;)? BUT ANYWAYS BACK TO THE STORY). I'm excited, but i'm also extremely nervous. Why am I so nervous? I mean i've done this about a hundred times before (Not literally a hundred but ya know oh well.). But the thing is i've never had to go to school when I knew i would be bullied and tormented by my foster brother and his group of minions. I hated the thought of having to deal with Harry and his friends every single day. But on the brightside i'll get to see Taylor. I'm not really sure what to expect today. I know Harry and his friends are going to treat me pretty badly, and i'm not really sure what to expect from the school in general. How will the other kids react to a new student? More importantly a new student that is a foster kid. I have no idea, but i'm about to find out. I grab my bag and walk down the stairs to meet Taylor in the kitchen, we grab something to eat quickly and walk out the door heading for school. As Taylor pulls up to the school parking lot my jaw drops. I look at her shocked a little. “This is the school?” I ask. “Yeah, why what’s wrong?” She asks worried. “Oh uh nothing, it’s just huge compared to the ones i’m used to going too.” I say opening my door. She laughs a little and grabs my hand. “Trust me, you’ll do fine. You’ll adjust in no time.” She says with a smile leading me to the front office. “This is the new student Niall James Horan” Taylor says to an older lady sitting behind a desk in the office. “Ah yes, Mr. Horan, here is your schedule. This has all of your classes, your locker number, your locker combination, the time you have lunch and your lunch code on it. Lucky for you, you have the same schedule as Taylor here, the locker right next to her, and the same lunch hour. All you have to know is your lunch code and your good to go” She says with a smile handing me my schedule. “Thank you ma’m.” I say with a smile taking it and following Taylor down the hallway to our lockers. “We have about 20 minutes before school actually starts but I figured we would get here early so I could show you around, then we could get to our first our class without running into Harry and his group of minions.” Taylor says opening her locker and grabbing her Anatomy book. “Sounds great to me.” I say with a smile before attempting to open my locker. It takes me a minute to figure it out since it was different than the ones i’m used too but I finally figure it out and grab my book before following Taylor down the hall. She points out a few important places like the library, the computer lab, the bathrooms and the cafeteria before we finally arrive to our first classroom. We walk in and I see a man that looks to be only a few years older than we are sitting at a computer typing. “Mr. Langston, this is the new student his name is Niall, he’s in your first hour.” Taylor says standing in the doorway. “Ah Niall. Nice to meet you, how are you settling in so far?” He asks kindly. “Good sir.” I say shaking his hand. “Well that’s great, since you and Taylor seem to be friends you can sit in the empty seat next to her.” He says before returning to his desk. I follow Taylor to the back of the room and sit next to her. “Oh, before you find out. Harry and Louis are in this class. they sit two rows in front of us.” Taylor says looking at me. “Alright.” I say with a smile just before the bell rings. A few minutes later the class is full of people i've never met. A few faces though, are vaguely familiar. Some are extremely familiar. Especially two of them sitting two rows ahead of me and Taylor. It's Liam, and Harry. "Good morning class, this morning we have a new student joining us. Mr. Horan, would you like to introduce yourself, or shall I?" The teacher asks. "Uh, I can I guess." I say standing up in front of the class. "Hi, my name is Niall. Niall Horan, and i'm the new student. And I don't really know what to say so i'm gonna go sit back down." I say awkwardly before sitting back down. The class laughs for a moment before the teacher interrupts. "Alright class, today we are going to finish up our projects. Niall, since your just joining us this won't count against your grade, you can work with Harry and Liam, they need a third person in their group." The teacher says returning to his desk. I gulp and look over at Taylor worried. "We can talk to the teacher after class, don't worry it's going to be fine." She assures me. I smile a little and sit there quietly for the rest of the class period. As soon as the bell rings everyone else rushes out of class, me and Taylor stay behind and walk up to the teacher's desk. "Mr. Langston, can we talk to you for a moment?" Taylor asks. "Yeah of course, what's up?" He asks turning around in his desk. "Well, there's sort of a problem with Niall's group. You see, Niall is a foster kid, he was recently put into Harry's families house, and well Harry started picking on him. It got worse over time, and Liam had joined in too. Niall just didn't think it would be a good idea for him to work with those two after everything they'e said to him. I figured, maybe Niall could join my group. I know we already have three people, but I don't want Niall to be put into that position." She tells him looking concerned. "Oh I see, well usually I only allow three to a group, but after hearing all of that. I'll make an exception." He says with a smile. "Thank you sir." I say following Taylor out of the room to our next class. The day goes on, and nothing major really happens, until the one class I don't have with Taylor comes. Of course I have it with Harry, and his "minions" though. I head into the boys locker room and change into my gym clothes quickly beore heading out to the gym. The bell rings and the gym coach starts talking. Looks like I came on the perfect day (NOT REALLY). You see it's dodge ball day. "Great." I think to myself. "Harry, and Jake your team captains." Coach says as we all line up to pick teams. Jake picks first and he picks Some kid named Larry. I stand there as the teams get picked, Harry's "Minions" all manage to get onto his team. I'm the last to go since I am the new kid, and I get put onto Jake's team. We all head to our sides and the coach blows the whistle. We all run for the dodge balls. I last longer than I thought I would, when Harry finally gets me out. He throws a ball straight where the sun don't shine. I groan as I make my way over to the bleachers. At least I don't have to play anymore. Although I'm out of the game now I still get hit three more times. And I bet you can't guess who it's by. None other than Harry's little minions. They each throw a ball at me and each time it happens they all get yelled at by coach but of course they just say "Sorry couch I forgot he was out" And the coach just let them all get away with it. FInally it's time to get dressed out. I run to the locker room and change quickly and head out the doors as the bell rings. I meet Taylor outside over by her car. "Hey Niall, how was your first day?" She asks getting in. "It was great, until gym class." I say getting in as she starts the car and pulls out of the parking lot heading back home. "What happened in gym?" She asks. "Oh ya know, just Harry and his friends. And dodge ball day." I say looking at her. "Oh i'm sorry Niall. I didn't even realize you had gym with them. Maybe you can go get it switched tomorrow." She says as we pull up to the house. "No it's okay, I can't avoid them forever. I can't just run every time I have to be around them." I say getting out of the car and walking up the stairs behind her. We throw our things onto the couch and walk into the kitchen. Taylor grabs a water and hands me one then grabs on for herself and walks over to the couch with me.
