CHAPTER 40

ANGIE’S POV

“Angie wake up, it’s time for school.” I heard Matthew say softly.

I opened my eyes to see Louis and Matthew hovering over my bed. I thought Louis went home last night? What happened?

“Louis, why are you here?” I asked sitting up in bed.

“Why it’s lovely to see you too Angie.” He said smiling.

Matthew helped me into my wheelchair, and pushed me into the kitchen. “But seriously Lou, I thought you went home last night.” I said while eating a piece of toast.

“I fell asleep before Matthew got here. Don’t worry, I already texted the boys and told them I was fine.”

“I was so worried about that.” I said sarcastically.

He laughed and me Matthew and Louis sat and ate breakfast. Now if you told me a few months ago that on my first day as a senior in high school I would be having breakfast with my long lost brother and Louis Tomlinson, I would have thought you were lying. But it feels like this is normal, like it’s normal to be best friends with Louis Tomlinson, and to be dating Harry Styles. I can promise you, my life is not normal.

“You should get dressed, and brush your hair.” Louis informed me.

“No actually I was planning to go to school in my sleep wear with bed head.” I said sarcastically.

“Man, who’s the queen of sarcasm today?” Louis joked.

Without responding, I rolled myself back into my room and got myself dressed. Changing your clothes while being in a wheelchair is not the easiest thing. Actually, far from it.

Once I had my clothes on, I rolled myself into the bathroom and put on my makeup. As I was drawing the eyeliner on, Louis crept up on me. “You don’t need that.” He said making me draw the line away from my eye.

“Lou, it’s my mask.” I said playfully.

“I like the real Angie better.” He said walking away.

I thought about what he said, and after a few minutes of going back and forth, I decided to scrub off all of my makeup and go natural. I wheeled back into the kitchen to find the rest of the boys and Robin waiting for me. Harry walked over to me and kissed my cheek. He whispered something in my ear, but I couldn’t understand him. Instead of asking him to repeat it, I just giggled and playfully smacked his arm.

“Ready to go?” Liam asked.

“Ready.” I smiled.

I walked outside my apartment to find a limo waiting for us. Well this is great, show up to your first day of school in a limo with one direction. Yeah, there is absolutely no way that this would cause a scene. I tried to look happy as the boys helped me into the limo, but I was quite nervous about how people at school would react. I sat the entire ride in silence listening to the boys sing along to their album that was playing. Wow this is every girls dream! No, it’s not. When they sing in the car, the purposefully sing awfully along to their own voices. It was very annoying, trust me.

“We’re here.” Louis screamed. He was right; I looked out of the tinted window to see my high school. I saw lots of kids standing around the limo, probably waiting for whoever the famous person was to get out. Man, were they going to be in for a treat when they realized it was just me and my boyfriend. Well, to be fair I bet lots of girls would be excited my boyfriend is here. Joy oh joy.

Harry helped me out of the limo and into my wheelchair. When I was settled, he began pushing me towards the doors of the school, like this wasn’t a big deal. The boys that were around the limo sighed and walked off, but the girls played it cool. Which actually kind of surprised me. Maybe they didn’t realize that this was Harry Styles. He did have a beanie and sunglasses on, but let’s be honest; it’s not the best disguise. I learned that the hard way.

Just as we were walking into the school, we were stopped by the most popular girl. She was so annoying, and so mean, I just hated her. It’s okay that I hated her because she hated me with a passion. In 8th grade she would bully me so much. I just hated her!!

“Angie, oh no! What happened to your feet?” She said trying to act all sweet.

“They broke.” I said through gritted teeth.

She ignored what I said and her eyes went straight to Harry. “Oh my, are you Harry Styles? I didn’t recognize you!” She said playfully.

“Yeah I am.” He said flatly.

“How much is she paying you to bring her to school?” She asked laughing. God I wanted to kill this girl. Who was she to say that?

“Actually, Louis had to beg her to let us bring her to school today.” Harry said while rubbing my shoulders.

“Louis is here?” She practically screamed.

“Get lost Gabby!” I hollered in her face.

She looked quite shocked by my yelling at her. It was probably because nobody else in this world would stand up to her. But her being weak and spineless, walked away like she wasn’t fazed by me. I could tell it hurt her though. She’s not fooling anyone.

“Harry, I think you should go.” I said turning my head to look him in the eye.

He leaned down and kissed my forehead. “I know baby. Text me whenever you can.” He said while walking away.

As soon as I lost sight of him, my phone buzzed. I looked down to see I had a new message from Harry.

“I miss you already. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Styles”

I laughed out loud at his excessive use of the letter “x” and then responded.

“You and Lou should have a day of fun together. Forget about me until 3:00 (you’re picking me up) and have a good time! xx Angieeee”

I didn’t get a text back which was weird, but I decided to shrug it off and get to my first class.
