Niall Horan
The sound of a blaring alarm woke Niall from his slumber and he groaned, slamming his hand down on the snooze button. Rolling over onto his back and sitting up, he ran his fingers through his blond hair and sighed.

It was just going to be another day at school in Bradford England for Niall. He still felt that something was missing from his life and he still wasn't much of a popular kid but at least every day he could spend time with his friends.

Niall climbed out of bed and grabbed a towel and some clothes before going to go shower. Once inside, he let the water run over his body, washing away any trace of dirt or sweat. When he was finished he dried off and got dressed.

Niall pulled on a pair of black jeans, a dark blue and forest green plaid shirt, his watch, and a pair of his favorite white supras. He styled his hair into a sideswept quiff, so it looked as if it were windblown.

Niall grabbed his backpack and his phone and walked downstairs. He was greeted by his mother Maura and his brother Greg.

"Morning Niall." They said.

"Morning." Niall glanced around. "Dad left for work already?"

Greg glanced up and Maura smiled at Niall softly. "Niall you know your father. Never wants to be late for work."

Niall chuckled lightly at her attempt of making fun of dad. The sound of a car honking its horn outside made Niall forget what he was going to say.

"Well my rides here so, see you later mom." Niall kissed her cheek and patted his older brother on the shoulder before rushing outside and to Austin's car. He climbed in and he drove off.

"So I heard we have new transfers coming in." Austin told him.

Niall groaned. "How many?"

"Four."

Niall sighed. Bradford High got new transfers every year before they left and went somewhere else because the school was overwhelming and most of the kids there were mean or rude as hell. Niall and his friends were cool with it though because everyone knew them. No one bothered Niall because he was always nice to them and to others. Hell even the school bullies went after anyone stupid enough to mess with him.

Niall looked out the window and watched as everything passed by in a blur and he thought about his life. His life hasn't been a blur. He could remember everything from his childhood vividly. Nothing was really forgotten by him.

"So four huh?" Niall says. Austin didn't say anything other than nod. "Should be fun."

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Niall and Austin sat in the back of the classroom by the windows, waiting for class to begin. Their classmates were loudly talking amongst themselves whilst Niall was staring out of the window. He stared up at the sky that looked considerably darker than usual which meant that it was going to storm pretty soon.

Niall looked up when his classmates stopped talking suddenly and saw the guy that was obviously new here. The guy had raven hair, bronze skin, almost golden-brown eyes and a pearly white smile. He was wearing a white shirt, a black leather jacket, dark jeans and white converse.

Their eyes met and Niall found himself mesmerized by them. Niall couldn't look away. He was awed by how great the guy looked. Niall finally tore his eyes away from him but he still felt him staring.

"Class, this is Zayn Malik. He's our new student transfer." Mr. Kyle told the class. "Treat him with respect."

Niall looked up again and he was surprised to see Zayn still staring at him. Niall looked away and opened his science textbook.

Mr. Kyle clapped his hands. "So who knows about the human anatomy?"

Zayn Malik
Zayn couldn't stop staring at the blonde sitting in the back of the room. His blue eyes, milky white skin, the cute button nose he had...he wanted to know his name. He needed to know his name.

Zayn made his way to the back of the class to an empty seat on the other side of the boy and sat down. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the boy glance at him quickly before looking back down at his textbook.

Zayn felt a strong connection to this boy. Stronger than he ever felt with Perry. And then the realisation hit him like a semi-truck.

This boy was his mate.

Niall Horan
Niall walked to his next class with Austin where they would meet up with Becky, Austin's girlfriend and Alex their other best friend.

Niall met Alex his second year at Bradford. Ever since the four of them have been best friends, inseparable and always together. They had each other's backs no matter what and it's been like that for three years.

Niall and Austin reached their second class. Alex and Becky were already there, waiting for them. Niall smiled at them.

"Hey guys. Did you see the new transfers?" Alex asked.

Austin smirked. "Yeah we did. Niall here  developed a crush on this Zayn guy. He couldn't stop staring at him."

Niall's face turned red with embarrassment. "No I didn't. And he was staring at me..."

Alex rolled his eyes which Niall had realised a long time ago he did frequently. "Yeah right."

Niall pursed his lips and didn't say anything in response because they were just going to continue to pester him about something that wasn't even true.

Niall strode in the classroom taking a seat in the middle of the room. Not long after they sat down, Zayn entered the room with another guy. Niall knew he must've been new too.

Niall quickly looked down and avoided looking at Zayn. He didn't want to look at him because he didn't want to start staring again. But he felt Zayn's stare on him and he looked up when someone stopped in front of his desk.

"Hey Niall." Zayn said in his beautiful but dark voice.

Niall smiled and said shyly, "Hi."

Zayn smiled down at Niall he felt a blush creeping up his neck. "Looks like we have this class too."

Niall nodded, glancing at Alex who was sitting directly beside him. "Yep. I guess we do."

"I guess I'll see you later then." Zayn says and walks over to his own desk where his friend was sitting.

Niall watched him go and felt his heart flutter. There was something about Zayn that made him nervous but it also drew him in. Made him curious.

"You sure you don't have a crush on him?" Alex teased.

Niall slapped his arm. "Shut up."
