Niall POV
"Girls! Hurry up, you'll be late - again" I holler up the stairs before going back to setting the table for breakfast.
Morgan comes down a moment later carrying Kimmie, our youngest sister of 2 years old. That surprises me. She's never the first down and she never helps with her sisters, least of all Kimmie, as she "doesn't do anything fun".
"Elsa won't come down, because Tori threw her doll on the top shelf and no one can reach it" Morgan mumbles before helping herself to a piece of toast.
I get Kimmie sat on the chair next to Morgan, instructing her to make sure Kimmie doesn't fall. I pop the pre-made bowl of cheerios in front of Kimmie and head up to see where the others are.
"Girls! I really don't have time for this!" I grumble, heading into their room.
"But! Lilly is up there!" Elsa wails and I glance up to see that her doll is in fact on top of the wardrobe.
"How the hell did it get up there?" I grumble.
"I threw it up" Tori smiles at me, like butter wouldn't bloody melt. She's such a demon.
"Why are you such a brat?" I sigh.
"It gets me attention" she shrugs.
"Well then, you can get it down" I warn. I pick her up at the knees and hold her against the wardrobe so she can grab the doll. She does and drops it down to Elsa, who is over the moon.
"Thanks Niall" she whispers, cuddling the doll to her chest.
"No problem. Now, both of you go down and get some breakfast. Toast is on the table waiting".
After those two head down stairs, I head into the bathroom to find Holly. She'll be in her doing her make-up again. Who would have thought she was 9!
"Hol, you can't wear make up to school. It's not allowed" I tell her through the door.
"It's fine! They won't know"
"Yes they will. Take it off and come down for breakfast"
"But-"
"-No buts. Take it off now and come down please. If you come down and it's not off, you're grounded" I warn and head back down stairs.
The others are tucking into toast so I finish making the packed lunches.
"Morgan, grab the bread for me?" I mumble and she rolls her eyes but passes it over.
Holly comes down a moment latter and glares at me, with a clean and make up free face. I smile at her sarcastically.
I butter 10 pieces of bread and make the 4 ham sandwiches for the girls. They get cut in half and put in each of their lunch bags. Kimmie obviously eats at nursery.
"Crisps?" I mumble to the girls, as usual.
"Cheese and Onion" Morgan mumbles, playing on her phone as usual.
"Same" Holly and Tori say in unison.
"Bacon" Elsa grins.
I accommodate their requests and the crisps go in each of their bags with the sandwiches. I then make them all a bottle of dilute orange juice, which goes in their bags.
"Fruit?" I call out.
"Apple and banana" Tori grins.
"Same" Holly adds.
"Grapes and- and- an orange" Elsa grins.
"Don't want any" Morgan grumbles.
"Well, you're having two pieces. Choose, or I will"
"Fine. Banana and orange" she rolls her eyes.
I once again accommodate their requests.
I start making my lunch and realize we only have one piece of bread. Half a sandwich it is. I lightly butter it and place a slice of ham in the middle before folding it in half. I also grab the last piece of fruit, orange and pop that in my bag.
"Why don't you have 2 pieces?" Elsa asks.
"There's only one left babe. Don't worry, I can buy another piece at school" I lie. Well, it's not a lie. I can buy another piece. But I won't because they expensive there and I literally have £4.23 to my name until I get paid, in 2 days. Not bad you say. But we need more bread, milk, ham and fruit for the girls for their lunches tomorrow.
I'm also playing a dangerous game with my car, called 'let's see how far we can get with the warning light on and limited petrol'.
"Girls, we have to go. Come on" I mumble, finishing my glass of water. I could have juice, but it's quite pricey and I'd rather the girls have it over me having it.
"Shotgun!" Morgan calls as they race out of the door with their bags.
"Come on Kim, let's go to nursery shall we?" I grin at her, resting her on my hip.
"Yey!" She smiles. She's always so easy going and happy. Always so bloody happy.
I grab my bag and lock up before making my way to the car.
Morgan is pushing Holly out of the way for the window seat and Elsa and Tori are arguing over the passenger seat. Ugh. Great.
"Well, it's Tuesday, so Morgan has shotgun today" I inform them. This argument is a regular occurrence, so we made a rotor for who get's shotgun. Today is Morgan's turn.
"Hah! Losers" She smirks, climbing into the front seat.
I get Kimmie strapped into her car seat and make sure Elsa has her seat belt on - she's a pain for taking it off - before I climb into the drivers seat.
Elsa, Tori and Holly get dropped off first at their classes and I get another inquiry on where our mother is by Holly and Tori's teacher. They're in the same class.
"I haven't seen Jenny for a while, is everything okay Niall?"
"Yeah, everything's fine. She's just super snowed under at work" I say softly, offering her my million dollar smile. She laps it up like a dog laps up water. Works every time.
"Hol, Tori - be good. Okay? No fighting again" I warn, giving each of them a kiss and cuddle. They promise they'll be good and head into class.
I drop Elsa at her class and also give her a cuddle and kiss before she leaves. I then make my way back to the car where Kimmie smiles widely at me and Morgan rolls her eyes. I roll mine back at her.
Elsa gets dropped off next, but after a large argument the other week, I walk her to the door but don't cuddle or kiss her.
"Bye" she mumbles.
"Not so fast, phone?" I comment, putting my hand out for her to drop the device into my hand. She does with another eye roll.
"Well get it confiscated again. Then you won't have it for 2 days, will you" I challenge. She glares at me and heads into class.
"Come on Kimmie" I smile at her as we walk back to the car, her resting upon my hip.
"Paint!"
"I'm sure you can paint today! Let's find out shall we?" I coo, buckling her back into the car seat.
Once Kimmie is dropped off at nursery, I head to college.
I slump in my chair, next to Louis and wait for the English tutor to arrive.
"Hey Nialler"
"Hey Tommo. Where's Payno?" I frown, looking at the empty chair on Louis' other side.
"Suspended this week"
"Again?" I whistle. He's always being suspended, either that or expelled.
"Yeah, he walked out of Maths so he could see Sophie" he tells me, doodling little stick men on my arm with his pen.
"She's a bad influence on him. He hasn't been the same since dating her. Now all he does is get into trouble" I shake my head. I had to stop letting him come round as he kept searing in front of the girls.
"She is. Can I come to yours later?"
"Sure, come round about 7. I need to go shopping and sort the girls tea's out" I smile.
"Sweet. Are you doing okay? You know, financially?" he asks a quietly.
"Yeah, fine thanks Tommo. I get paid soon anyway" I shrug.
"You know where I am, if you need anything. Literally anything Nialler" he smiles, finishing up the last sick man.
"I know. Thanks Lou" I smile. I do know. I know he'll lend me any money I need to get by, but then I still have to pay it back. Yes he's great and tells me I don't have to pay him back, but I do. He's my friend, not my personal ATM. His family is rich, but that doesn't mean he is. He works hard for his money and if I ever borrowed any, he would have to get it from his parents (which neither of us mind) but I don't want him to think I'm only friends with him for money. I have borrowed odd bits of money here and there when things got really bad, and every penny has been paid back. But I don't make a habit out of it and would never borrow a large amount.
"Hey guys"
"Hey Zee" I grin as he sits in front of us. Zayn is lovely and so pretty. I'm really jealous of his face. And body. And hair. And laugh. And life. I've known him since I could talk and we've been friends ever since.
"Hey, want me to pick you up later? I'm off to Nialls" Louis adds.
"Yeah, what time?"
"Be at yours for about half 6" Louis tells him.
"Who's that?" I mumble as a tally boy with tattoos and long brown hair walks into our class. He hovers in the doorway, glancing around at the empty seats before our eyes meet.
He's stunning.
He bites his lip a little, trying to figure out where to sit and I know for a fact he is new. Iv'e literally never seen him before.
"Dunno, must be new. He's hot" Louis whispers and I nod my head agreeing with him.
"Hey! You new?" Louis shouts to him and he looks taken back before nodding.
"I'm Harry" he says slowly, voice raspy and deep.
"I'm Louis and this is Niall and Zayn. Come sit with us if you want" he offers and Harry smiles before making his way over. I wish I had Louis confidence.
To my surprise, Harry sits beside me on the empty chair. Smiling as he does.
"So, anything I should be aware of here?" he asks softly.
"Not really. The pasta dishes are amazing but stay away from the meatballs, they're horrible. Erm- the table nearest the bins is where the nerds sit, so I'd avoid that unless you like talking about Dungeons and Dragons and Harry Potter. The jocks are on the table opposite them but are actually really nice guys, so you could sit with them if you wanted" I shrug.
"C-can't I sit with you guys?" he frowns.
"Um-yeah! You can. Of course you can. I just meant- I didn't want to limit your options. So I was just saying you could sit with them. But you can sit with us. Right Lou?"
"Yeah, of course!"
"What subjects are you taking?" Harry asks us both.
"English, Law, Psychology and Music" I smile.
"That's a lot of work!" he frowns and I shrug, I'm not opposed to hard work.
"I'm taking English, Law and Music as well, but Drama is my last option" Louis smiles.
"He's a real Pre-Madonna" I smirk and Harry laughs whilst Louis elbows me in the side.
"OW" I whine. That hurt!
"Baby"
"Bully" I mutter, but with a fond look on my face. He really is my best friend. I'd be lost without him
"What about you Harry?" Louis grins.
"English, Law, Maths and Business" Harry tells us and I scrunch my nose up. Why would anyone choose to do Maths?
"Hate Maths" I mumble, causing him to laugh.
"What about you Zayn?" Harry asks the tanned boy who turns in his chair to speak to us.
"English, Art, History and Business" Zayn reels off with a small smile.
Harry hangs out with myself and Louis for most of the day and sits with us in the lessons we have together, English and Law.
When it reaches home time, Louis says he'll see me later and Harry asks if he can hang out with us sometime. Before I can even speak, Louis takes his address and says he'll pick Harry up on the way to my house, around 6:50pm tonight.
Great.
Now I have to clean up as well as pick the girls up, go shopping and make tea!
