Chapter Three: New Student Fever

3- 26-9. My hand turned the dial on the deep blue skinny locker. People rushed behind me, Mondays were always hectic. The locker opened and I switched out binders for my next class. My white Adidas backpack hung low on my back. I was wearing old faded blue jean shorts and a loose sea green v-neck, with an old brown belt and my white converse on my feet. My long hair was pulled into French braid, the different shades looking cooler then normally. 

Someone cleared their throat behind me, causing me to jump. My eyes darted to the mirror on the door of my locker, only to see a smile staring back. I turned around, looking up at the visitor. "Liam!" I grinned and he leaned in for a hug. 

"I found you first!" The light brown headed boy smiled at me. He was looking nice in a white and black horizontal stripped long sleeve with khaki pants, and red sneakers. "This school is like a maze!"

"Agreed! When I was a freshman I nearly broke down crying in the bathroom. All my friends had older siblings to guide them, but I was all alone and couldn't navigate anything."

"You're an only child?"

"We went over this, yes." I reminded him with a smile. "Need me to point out anything to you?"

"No, this really pretty eyed girl already showed me my first class," he grinned. "So many girls go to this school," as he said this, his eyes were searching the hallways for girls, lingering before he pulled back to me smile at me

I rolled my eyes jokingly. "Has anyone recognized you as a member of-"

"Oh my god! You're from One Direction!" Right on cue. " Oh, my, god! Hi, oh my. I'm Kelly, I am like... Such a big fan! Can I have a photo with you?" A girl with a high ponytail and a Sea Side cheerleading uniform gushed. Kelly turned to me and handed me her fancy phone. "Will you take it? That's the camera button," she smiled. Kelly snuggled up closely to Liam's side, putting on a big smile. Liam was blushing but quickly put on a cool exterior.

"Say cheese," I cooed.

"Cheese!" Liam smiled as I snapped the photo. I snapped another one of the two talking just for her and handed it back to her.

"Thank you so much!" She gushed. "I can't believe you go to this school! This is so awesome! I have to go but thank you so much!" Kelly wrapped her arms around Liam in an unsuspected hug. "Bye!" She said cheerfully.

Liam turned to me with a big smirk on his face. "Does that answer your question?" I refrained from rolling my eyes.

"So you, Zayn, Niall, and Harry are all seniors. Is Louis in college?" I asked, switching the topic.

"Louis is taking some online courses, he's oldest out of all of us. Harry brought his car, so if you need a ride to or from school, we can give you one."

"Oh, okay thanks." I smiled up at Liam. "What lunch do you have?" Liam pulled his schedule and handed it to me to read. "You have C too? This is great! Only at C lunch can you go off campus for lunch. Try to find me for it okay? I have to go to AP Bio, see you soon Liam!" I smiled and handed him back his schedule. Liam quickly hugged me and was off on his own. As I walked down the hallway I saw girls eyeing me, most likely wondering why someone like me was talking to Liam.

I wasn't super popular in school, but I didn't care. Friends were friends, and I still tried to get along with everyone. As my feet walked up the stairs and around corners to my first block class I felt someone shove my backpack. I ignored it, but when the person did it a second time I turned around to see a bright blonde headed boy grinning back. "Hi Niall," I greeted. I was ready to yell at him for shoving me until I saw his big blue eyes batting at me.

"Chris! I don't understand this schedule!" He whined.

I laughed as he handed me his schedule. "Okay, it's really simple. We have two days, blue and white days. On blue days, you have your first 4 periods; each class is about 90 minutes. Lunch is 40 minutes.  On white days you have these 4 classes, and it switches off. So, some weeks you have 3 blue days, and some weeks you have 2 blue days." Niall nodded. "Is this starting to make sense? Today, your first period is Nutrition which is just down that hall," I pointed out. "And tomorrow, the first period of the day for you is journalism."
