Chapter 5

(A/N: Niall's bad boy image, wow, never thought that this day would happen, hmm. Guess that's why it's in fanfiction <3)

Chapter 5 :D

----------------------------

Lacy's POV

I sat in my car in the school parking lot. I don't know how long I've been sitting here, my mind was going in all different kinds of directions. My brain was malfunctioning I think, every now and then my hand would spaz on the steering wheel, at least my car was off.

Knock. Knock.

My attention turned to a security guard who usually lurks around the parking lot to find drugs, students, or anything 'unusual' around the school, glad we have them though.

"Miss, you need to go inside of the school." He knocked on my window again, I lazily grabbed my bag, getting out of the car.

"Who's class are you supposed to be in and what's your name?" He stopped me from going any further.

"Mrs. Spiak and Lacy Serene." I responded, scratching my arm as a distraction to me, I was scared, I've never gotten in trouble before at school, and this was over the dumbest thing.

"Here, take this to the office, and I'm going to inspect your car." The security guard handed me a folded up note, I sighed, putting my keys in my purse, and walking off, all he has to do is lock it from the inside and it'll be all good.

I trudged down the hallways, curious of this note, I opened it revealing terrible handwriting, but clear enough to read.

This girl, Lacy Serene, was sitting in her car for the remainder of first period class, she is supposed to be in Mrs. Spiak's room, inspecting her car. - Security Guard B-17

I am so going to be in trouble, what if I don't turn it in though? Wait, he knows my name...shouldn't do that. I sighed walking into the main office area.

"Hello, how may I help you, young lady?" One of the assistant principles asked, I just handed her the note, lowering my head.

"Lacy Serene....Mrs. Spiak...car. B-17." She mumbled to herself as she read over the note, her glasses hung right off of the tip of her nose, her lipstick was quite dark and rough.

"Miss Serene, why were you in your car during first period?" She put down the note, staring down at me.

"I, well, my mind kind of took over...thoughts were running through my head...I guess I was just too tired, daydreaming." I gave her some random things to say, I mean what was I supposed to explain to her 'Oh yeah, this kid that I barely know is forcing me on a date by black mailing me with my biggest secret and everyone at this school hates me anyways, and my mother encourages me with everything, and my brother is such a snoop, that's my reason.'

"Thoughts? Daydreams? Were you doing anything illegal in your car, Miss Serene?"

"No, I promise." I shook my head, I really was telling the truth about not doing anything, and the thoughts was pretty much true too.

"Go to class, Miss Serene, you'll have to take a tardy, we'll be calling you from class soon." She kind of gave me this glare, I scrambled out of the main office, terrified. I had no drugs, no cigarettes, no pot, no guns, nothing illegal. Oh god, I'm shaking like a Chihuahua ...

"Miss Serene, so glad you could join us, why are you late?" Mrs. Spiak questioned, she stopped writing on her white board, focusing on me just like the other kids in the classroom.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, got here late." I lied, getting to my desk in the front, papers were starting to hit the back of my head, I turned around to see Brad smirking.

"Stop." I whispered, turning back around to see Mrs. Spiak in my face.

"No talking unless you either raise your hand or I tell you to, is that clear?" She smacked her ruler on my desk, I winced back.

"Clear." I nodded.

"That goes for everyone in this class, understood?"

"Understood." The class mumbled, some kids started falling asleep, others were sneaking their phones under the table, and a few were doodling on their papers.

"Now, take this formula, and solve the equation, once you are done, put your pencil down and-" Mrs. Spiak got cut off by her phone ringing, she muttered things under breath, answering the phone.

"This is Mrs. Spiak."

"Yes, she's in here."

"Okay, will do, bye." 

"Miss Serene, office, go, take your things." She waved her hand at me, I nodded, grabbing all of my things, I heard some kids snicker, but I ignored their reactions, shutting the door behind me.

Why do the bad things always happen to me?

 My breathing hitched as I opened the main office door again, I didn't see anyone there so, I sat down on one of the chairs provided, my bags sat beside me leaning on the chair legs.

If they call my mom, she is going to go ballistic on me, she usually goes ballistics over things being misplaced, but since dad has been in China, she's been less caring of those things, but I don't think she'll feel very right about this.

"Miss Serene, come this way." One of the staff members motioned me to follow, boy was I extremely nervous now, but I did follow her to the principle's office. Is it that bad that I got caught up on my thoughts and missed first period, I think they're taking too much of a big deal out of this, seriously.

"Hi, Miss Serene, please take a seat." This was a nice principle unless you plucked his nerve, then he hates you with a passion, I may have gotten on that list now.

"Hi Sir." I mumbled, crossing my leg over the other, trying to be more professional about this.

"Lacy, you have never been in the principle's office, I see?" He questioned, going through my file, checking each record detail it seems.

"That's right." I answered, nodding.

"I think you may need to explain to me why you were in your car ditching first period." He put his hands on his desk, watching me.

"I don't know why I didn't go, I was so caught up on my mind, I just didn't think, I didn't think at all, but you guys are thinking of this as such a big deal when it's not, you all hate me, I hate you all now, so what's the point, I hate school, I hate the students in it, along with most teachers!" I wish I had said that, but what I reall said was, "I'm not sure, Sir."

"Mhm, I see, the security guard saw nothing illegal in your car, do you not like your first period class?"

"No, it's not that, my thoughts got the best of me."

"You're usually a good student here, you make good grades, you're usually on time, and you never get in trouble, tell you what, maybe you should try a sport, maybe cheer-leading, get focused on more things."

"I'm not the athletic type, Sir, I have too much things at home, that's wouldn't help." I shook my head, I am NOT doing a sport, I refuse, especially cheer-leading, like, are you kidding me.

"You want a scholarship, don't you?" Oh no, I forgot I had told several teachers about that.

"Erm, yes Sir." I nodded, I know my mom couldn't afford my college, that's why I had suggested that to a lot of teachers, at least the ones that I liked.

"You will start cheer-leading soon, tryouts are next Tuesday, I'm letting you off with a warning, Miss Serene, I'm not afraid of giving you weeks of detention, even a parent conference. Now, go back to class."

"Okay, Sir." This is why I hate those little things that people can use against you, it's the worst, first James, now the principle?! Are you kidding me? Time for French...

James POV (Niall Horan)

I am such a jerk, did I really just tell her that I'm picking her up at seven? Oh my god, I practically black mailed her, now I gotta keep this image up, she'll never want to see me if I just apologize, I like having her as a friend, she's normal, well no, she's different, original even, me? I'm famous, that's not something that I want her to know, ever.

"Hey Niall! We got to go to rehearsals, come on!" Liam called out for me.

"Coming!" I shouted back, pulling on my shoes, and jumping on Harry's back as I found them.

"He's like a little kid, he's so small." Harry laughed.

"Oi! Who's the horsey here?!" I chuckled, ruffling his curly head of hair.

"So Nialler wants to hang out with us, where have you been going for the past few days?" Zayn followed us to our van.

"Sometimes I like to go for walks or to drive around, I like to be free from our house! I get too bored sometimes!"

"You going out again tonight?"

"Probably, maybe around 6:30 or seven." I shrugged, feeling myself getting tossed into the van from Harry, well how rude of him.

"CAN I COME?! I LIKE ADVENTURES!" Louis hopped in next to me.

"How 'bout no?" I chuckled to myself.

"You go to them clubs don't you?" Harry winked at me.

"No, why would I go to a club without you guys?"

"Trying to be sneaky, eh? We know what you're up to." Louis smirked.

"Yeah, you cheeky fellah." Zayn nodded.

"Oh, get over yourselves, where's Paul anyways?"

"He had to use the toilet, you're trying to change the subject now, Irish  boy." Liam finally joined in the conversation, sitting in the passenger seat.

I'm trying to keep this from these lads too, it's almost hard because we all tell each other everything.

Lacy's POV

 I parked in my driveway, debating whether to walk in the house or not. School has been hectic today, I tried everything to avoid the bullies, but it wasn't as bad as it usually was, probably because most of the teachers were watching me all today

 "Okay, just go inside...text James, tell him no for the final time." I mumbled to myself, walking straight inside, surprisingly my mom isn't home, she must be at work again. She had a good vacation you could say, and Nathan is still at school, well after school of course, he actually does a sport, Basketball.

I whipped out my phone, starting a new text to James.

To: James

I'm not going on a date with you, I don't even want to be friends with you, you may hold my biggest secret, but you wouldn't want to tell anyone. x

I mean why would he tell anyone? He's not even that scary, but maybe he can hold a good image...great, another actor in town to ruin my life. He's already started to.

From: James

You can believe whatever, but in a heartbeat I can tell your family, anyone around town, I'm at work, but I'll see you once I'm done, btw look pretty, even if you look gorgeous the way you are. xx

Jerk. Stupid, little jerk. My mom would take me to some rehab place, I can see that now, my brother would never look at me the same anymore, and my dad would hate me forever. I couldn't live like that with my family, plus the students at school would drive me insane with calling me some emo freak when I'm really not, I don't wear all black or listen to dark music, but that's not what cutting is all about, it's about depression and feelings, if only people could really understand that.

I guess since I'm home alone...I can freak out all I want.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed, throwing my pillows off of the bed at the wall, then ripped my blankets off the bed. I ran to my drawers, messing everything up, and then practically tearing my room apart.

I kept screaming and grunting as all my anger was coming out, I need something better to do.

I ran down stairs and grabbed a glass cup from the cupboard, walking outside to vent more of my feelings, we had fenced the backyard because of Nathan and I when we were younger so we wouldn't run away. I tossed the glass hard at the fence, it shattered in so many pieces, tumbling on the grass.

Tears shot out of my eyes, my hands were shaking, but I headed back inside to clean my room back up.

Once I finished, one of my razors fell from off of a shelf when I bumped into, I held it up to see it eye to eye...what am I going to do?

Should I keep doing this? I mean does this really help?

Bathroom.

I made perfect lines going half way up my arm, since I got most of my anger out, I didn't need to go any further. Blood was all of my arm and the blade, I washed the blade and my arm, drying it off before I grabbed a jacket to hide it.

I stood on my tippy toes to place the razor back in its place...with a few of the others, of course.

"Honey? Are you home?!" I heard my mother say, I picked up one last clothing, and put it away.

"Yes mother!" I shouted back to her, I didn't hear her say anything else, is everything okay with her? I don't even wanna know if it's something minor.

"Don't forget to get ready for your night out with James!" 

Oh my god.

James did not tell her, did he?!

"What?!"

"I said, don't forget to get ready for your night out with James!!!" She yelled again, my mind was feeling dizzy, he holds my one true secret, yet he would willingly tell her, I hate that. I hate him, I hate the way he acts now.

Things are becoming so different now, I don't even understand anymore.

If I hadn't sat on that brick wall that night, if I hadn't gone in my car that night, if I hadn't even left the house...I would have NEVER had met James Horan.
