Chapter Text
-Harry-
All the boys were woken up at 9am, the headmistress walked into the room for 16-17 year olds and yelled for them to wake up and get ready for the day. There were about sixteen beds in the room. Harry got up and looked next to him and saw Niall slowly getting out of bed, “morning Harry.” Niall said and smiled, Harry smiled and waved back. They saw that Louis and Liam weren’t in bed so they probably got up earlier and went to take shower. Harry gathered his clothes for the day and a towel and walked with Niall to the shower room. The shower room had 10 showers in it. There was usually a line to get one of the showers. The showers had curtains around them for some privacy. Harry waited for one that a little 12 year old was using. Once the boy finished Harry rushed to it and quickly took a shower, he finished and wrapped the towel around him. He got dressed and brushed his teeth then went downstairs to the mess hall for some breakfast. He got some pancakes that he was sure tasted like cardboard. He went to where the others boys were, he sat beside Liam.
Liam smiled at him, “morning Harry, did you sleep good?” Harry waved back like usual and nodded. Louis smiled at Harry too. “So supposedly there’s a new kid coming here today. He’s like our age or something. Heard something happened to his parents.” Louis said taking a bite of his breakfast after and making a disgusted face. Liam looked at him surprised, “How do you that?” Louis gave him a bored look, “I know everything that goes around here Liam. And I also heard the head sister telling some of the others.” Liam rolled his eyes, “You need to stop being so noisy Lou.” “Oh hush Li.” Louis said.
After breakfast the boys had some time to themselves before they had to report to daily church. They were all in the big-shared bedroom. Harry was lying down on his stomach reading a gossip magazine. Louis was also flipping through one while Liam and Niall played cards. “I hope they cancel our daily church session cause the new boy. They did it last time at least.” Louis said. Niall hummed and agreement, “me too.” “I also just hope that this guy isn’t a dick, and that he’s hot. There are too many ugly guys here.” Louis added. Niall laughed loudly and Liam just shook his head. Harry smiled fondly at his best friends. Louis was openly gay, as well as Harry. Liam was bi and Niall was straight. Louis sighed as he kept flipping through his magazine.
Liam looked down at his small watch that he got from his dad when he was little. “Right now would usually be the time that we get called down for church.” Just as Liam finished his sentence the bedroom door opened, “And this is where you’ll be staying. All the boys your age stay in here as well.” They heard the headmistress say. She walked in with a skinny raven-haired boy behind her. He had his head down so they couldn’t see his face. “Your bed is the last bed on the right side, new mattress and everything.” He nodded; the headmistress turned and noticed the other boys, “Oh hello boys! This is Zayn, he’s new so help him feel comfortable please. Zayn this is Liam, Louis, Niall, and Harry.” He looked up when they were getting introduced, the boys took in his sharp jawline, high cheekbones, honey brown eyes, and his long lashes. He nodded towards them as a greeting then made his way to his bed and set his stuff down. The headmistress looked at the four friends, “be nice to him, he’s been through a lot. And as you figured we won’t be attending daily church today so Zayn can get settled and comfortable.” She said then went over to Zayn to tell him some stuff before leaving the room.
They all turned their attention towards Zayn, just watching him pull sheets over the naked mattress. Once Zayn was finished he just sat down on the bed and took a couple of books out of his bag and set them on the small nightstand next to the wooden bed. Louis walked over to his bed and sat next to him, “Need help with anything?” Zayn looked at him for while before he spoke, “Uhh yea actually, do I um just keep my clothes in my case or is there somewhere to put them?” Louis smiled cause he got Zayn to talk to him, “Yea there is a place you can put them, there are some draws on the bottom of the bed.” Zayn nodded, “thanks mate.” Louis smiled again before going over to sit next to Harry. Harry just kept his eyes on Zayn, although he’ll never admit it, he thinks Zayn is super attractive.
Zayn finished packing his stuff into the draws and sat back on his bed and looked at the friends who were staring back at him, “Umm hi?” Niall laughed, “You should come and play cards with us, mate.” Zayn thought about it for a second, “I guess.” “Don’t worry we don’t bite.” Liam joked. Zayn gave him a small smile and went to Niall’s bed and sat next to him while Niall handed him and Liam some UNO cards. As they played more Zayn loosened up around the group, but noticed that Harry was the only one who hadn’t talked to him. He was wondering if he did something to offend or upset him. He turned towards Harry while the other guys were talking or arguing about the game. “Hey did I do anything to offend you mate, I didn’t mean to if I did.” Harry just looked at him with panic and scared eyes, but never answered Zayn back. Harry hoped that Zayn didn’t get mad at him or lose his patience, but he just couldn’t say anything. He just couldn’t.
