~NELLY'S POV~

We arrived at the canteen and walked in. I haven't been in here a lot since I started this school a few months ago, about four or five months I'd say, and from the few times I have been here I've never noticed how actually massive it is. You could probably fit the entire school's population in it. Well if everyone was pressed up against eachother that is.

There wasn't a cue to the food so me and Niall just went straight there. I got some water and a little tub of mixed fruit and Niall got Coke and chips. Since it wasn't hot food we just took it with us, deciding that we had to go look for the others. I put my water in my bag and opened my fruit while we walked.

"Want some?" I offered Niall as I took a piece and popped it in my mouth.

"Hmm, sure. Thanks." He shrugged and took a chunk of apple.

"I wonder where our bros and hoes are." I said to myself as we got outside. We walked to the field where we usually hang but they weren't there.

"...the fuck are they?" Niall mumbled.

Suddenly, our group came staggering over to us like a gang of zombies out of breath.

"What happened to you?" Niall asked them all.

"We were looking for you! We went to Asshole Streisand's office but you weren't there. We went to the recording room where you were first but you wasn't there either. Then we went to the canteen/cafe but you weren't their too! Fuck, do you have fricking teleportation abilities or something?!" Harry blurted out.

Dani looked at me and Niall slyly when Harry mentioned the recording room. Niall gave her a look as if to say shut up but of course someone noticed it. It would be us wouldn't it?

"What's that look about?" Ally inquired.

"Noth-" I was cut off.

"Nelly and Niall made out in the recording room!" Dani exclaimed to the others while we just stood there stunned.

"Fuck. You." I said blushing and shoved more fruit in my mouth.

"Wehey!!" Louis cheered and went to high five Niall.

"Get your fucking hand out my face." Niall said expressionless and Louis high fived his own hand.

"How didn't you get caught? And don't bother not answering because we'll get it out of you at some point." Harry demanded.

"Covered the window." I said.

"Sound?" Zayn asked smugly.

"Soundproof room." Niall added.

"Security?" Liam asked.

"The room locks from the inside." I said.

"Didn't anyone knock or anything?" Perrie asked.

"Nope." I added. Suddenly El started laughing her ass off.

"There's a fucking camera in there!" She bellowed hysterically and the others joined in.

"Jeez! Calm your tits woman! It wasn't connected." I said and they calmed down. Brilliant, Hunter and his crew came over.

"What's the commotion?" He asked smugly. I threw imaginary daggers at everyone in our group to say shut the fuck up.

"Nothing." I said.

"Really?" He asked unconvinced.

"Yes. Want something in particular? Some fruit?" I asked sarcastically and gave Hunter my now empty container.

"Wow thanks!" He fake gasped.

"But seriously we wanted to let you all know your invited to Jack's party this Saturday so come along if you want. His parents are gone for a week." He said and spun his ball in his hands. Today is Thursday so its in two days.

"Is there gonna be a shit load of alcohol?" Harry asked.

"Oh yes." Jack said with a smirk.

"Decent music?" I chipped in.

"Yup!" Jack replied.

"Are Carina and Anastasia invited?" Niall asked.

"Hell no!" Hunter said hastily.

"Just booze, good loud music and a good time. Maybe even some weed." Jack said. I'm liking the sound of this, and not because of the weed before you get any ideas. Our group all made a silent agreement with our eyes.

"Count us in." Zayn said.

"Good. See you Saturday around 7 or 8." Hunter smiled and went about his business with his group.

"I'm excited already." El announced.

"Are their parties good?" I asked them.

"I haven't been to one of Jack's but if its anything like one of Hunters then it will be ace." Niall assured me and pulled me to him.

"Great, I haven't been to a party in months. I'm having withdrawal symptoms!" I giggled.

"We'll have to start shopping later. We only have two days to prepare!" Perrie pointed out to us girls and the boys laughed.

"Woohoo! I love shopping! And this time you better not interfere with my stuff! Especially when it comes to nice underwear, I'll probably never find that set again." I fake cried and shoved Ally since she is the main culprit.

"It wasn't just me!" She defended.

"All of you. I have been plotting my revenge so you better watch out later." I said snidely.

"Don't you guys ever do that to eachother? Like swap each others items?" Ally asked.

"No...I think it's just a girl thing." Liam said.

Up until the bell for last lesson, drama, it was pretty uneventful. We arrived at class and took our seats which were at the back as usual and all of us were in this lesson so I was thankful for that. When we all settled down, our teacher Miss Spencer began speaking.

"So today is a practical lesson on Romeo And Juliet, continuing our Shakespeare theme so you will have to do some acting. You will be working in groups of five or six but if there are not enough of you then some of you will have to work in pairs on a separate scene." She explained as she handed out scripts. Most of the class, including myself, groaned in response.

I personally hate acting. Especially in front of groups of people. Louis on the other hand doesn't seem too phased by it.

"There are ten of us so we can all go in pairs. Or two groups of four with one pair." Liam huffed, clearly not happy with having to perform.

"I don't mind either way." Louis said and we all smiled at his enthusiasm. I've decided that I'm just gonna try to enjoy myself with this, Louis seems to be so I'm gonna copy him.

"Same here." I shrugged.

"What is the scene for a group?" Dani asked me seeing as I was looking at both scripts.

"Um...the fight scene at the beginning between the Montague's and the Capulets. The pair scene is the famous one between romeo and Juliet. You know, the whole 'O Romeo! Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo!' kinda one." I said dramatically.

"Good Nelly! I expect you to put that much effort into your proper performance." Miss praised me. I wasn't even being serious. I gave her a confused look and turned to our group who were laughing.

"I want even being serious! Does that mean I have to do that scene? If I do the please, someone pass me a gun." I asked desperately.

"I don't know. I hope so, I look forward to seeing you shoot yourself." Ally joked.

"I would shoot you before I shoot myself so you better not be hoping for your sake." I shot back and pulled tongues.

"Okay class, I just counted how many of you are here and you will be thrilled to know that there is enough here for pairs as well as groups so pair yourselves up!" Miss announced cheerily and I turned to stone. I turned stiffly back to my group and held my hand under my chin as if it was a gun.

"It was an awful experience meeting you all and I'm so happy to be saying so long, goodbye, I won't miss you one bit." I said and pulled the trigger on my imaginary gun and threw my head back as if I shot myself.

"Could say the same to you." Niall said to me disgustedly before smiling to show he wasn't being serious.

"Why are you talking to a dead person? I'm not going to answer you." I said to Niall and lifted my head back up.

"You just did." Niall said and poked my face and pulled tongues at me.

"Right, so who's working with who over here?" Miss Spencer asked as she came over.

"We haven't decided yet." Liam said.

"Well your all sat boy-girl so why don't you work with the boy/girl your sat next to? Simples." Miss half suggested, half demanded.

This meant that I was working with Niall, which I was happy with, and all the guys worked with their girls. Well Harry and Ally aren't together but they basically are so let's just go with it. Louis and El, Liam and Dani and Perrie and Zayn were all in pairs too. Me and Niall decided that we wouldn't be able to get through the whole scene after reading through it and not even putting any effort in, just plainly reading it, and being unable keep straight faces.

"Its too serious for us, like, if one of them was dead or dying already I would be able to handle that being serious. But they're just saying how much they like eachother. Its not even to their face!" I said to Niall and laughed confusedly as I read the script.

"I know, how will we do this? We can't even get through half of the scene without having to stop to laugh." Niall said with the same expression and laughed too.

I'm not dissing Shakespeare because he is a pretty amazing play write. Its just that its so serious, unless its just the language he uses which makes it seem that way. I don't know.

"Right, one more try." Niall said and we tried deep breaths to calm down a little but he burst laughing out mid exhale which caused me to as well. His laugh just makes me laugh.

"Stop it!" I said accusingly while calming down.

"Sorry. Again." He said and made an innocent face then he closed his eyes and counted in his head for like three seconds before opening them again, avoiding eye contact so he wouldn't laugh...again.

"Another try. We need to get this right. Were only reading it, that's all. No expression or anything, just speaking the words." I said and didn't look t Niall once or I'd laugh again.

"Okay. You sta-" Niall began but I chipped in.

"Wait, I'm not English. Like British English, it will sound weird." I I interjected.

"Neither is the majority of the class..." Niall said and I looked around.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." I said and Niall sighed then put up his head in his hand that wasn't holding a script; he wasn't seriously annoyed and I knew because he was smiling.

"Your so dozy sometimes. Right, you start when your ready." He said and shook his head at me and i shrugged with a smile.

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." I said.

"Shall i hear more, or shall i speak at this?" Niall said.

"'Tis but thy name is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. Whats a Montague?
It is nor hand nor foot, nor arm not face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O be some other name!
Whats in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other word would smell as sweet; so romeo would , were he not romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title.
Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee, take all myself." I said.

"I take thee at thy word
Call me but love, and I'll be baptized, henceforth i never will be Romeo." Niall said.

"What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night so stumbles on my council?" I said.

"By a name i know not how to tell thee who i am:
My name, dear saint. Is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee; had i written it, i would tear the word." Niall said and slammed his script down triumphantly.

"Wehey! We got through it!" He said and high fived me.

"Now, all we have to do is make it seem like we give a shit and do it in front of the whole class..." I said.

"Yup! Honestly I don't even know what they are supposed to be saying, its just a load of gibberish to me." Niall said and shrugged.

"Couldn't agree more, like what the fuck does 'art thou that thus bescreen'd' even mean?" I said using my hands for emphasis and Niall laughed.

"God knows. The British 'language' never ceases to amaze me." I said louder so the rest of the group heard me and Niall looked behind him at the rest of the group

"What?" Harry asked.

"You all speak gibberish, you British people." I said and they crinkled their eyebrows in confusion.

"You need an example? Well, 'art thou that thus bescreen'd'? What does that mean?" I asked and they laughed.

"Fuck knows, my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandma will know." Perrie said and giggled.

"I don't think that the Americans were much different, you know." Louis said.

"I don't know, probz not. I will ask my Grammy when I next see her. She will give me an entire story about it." I said and they all laughed at my name for my grandma.

"Grammy?" Niall asked with an eyebrow raised and an amused expression on his gorgeous face.

"Yeah, leave me alone. I always called her it." I defended.

"That's an award, I'm gonna start calling mine Oscar." Ally joked.

"Ha. Ha. That was so funny. So your grandma is a dude?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, she's unique like that...a girl and boy hybrid." She shrugged and laughed.

"Were going to start watching some of your performances now so 5 more minutes to prepare!" Miss said excitedly. Are all looked at eachother.

"Well shit." El said and we all got to work.

"Should I pretend to be sick so we don't have to do it? We haven't done anything yet and only have a few minutes." I offered since we are so far behind.

"Will it work?" Niall asked cautiously and I nodded.

"Okay then." He said and I got up and slowly walked to Miss Spencer with a hand clutching my tummy and one over my mouth. I made a worried expression as if I was about to puke. She turned to me and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Miss, I don't feel so good." I rushed and she panicked.

"Go to the toilets quick, do you want someone to go with you?" She said and I nodded.

"Ally please Miss." I said and she called her over.

"Take Nelly to he bathroom fast please dear." She said and we left fast. As soon as we did, I dropped my hands and huffed.

"Your fine aren't you?" She asked with a smirk.

"Yup, me and Niall are way far behind on our performance so we decided that we should save ourselves the embarrassment." I admitted.

"So are me and Harry. We've just been talking about random stuff that comes to mind. He was telling me about Holmes Chapel." She said gleefully.

"Aw! I can't wait for you to get together." I said in a high-pitched excited voice and clapped my hands. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Chillax! He wasn't telling me much, just about like how its a cute old town and everyone is friendly there and pretty much know eachother really well and how his mom and sister still live there in their little house that he grew up in." She said not phased by it; Doesn't she know about his mom and sister?

"What?" She asked me.

"What? I never said anything." I asked her.

"No, your face dropped. Something's wrong, tell me." She demanded.

"Your better asking Harry, Its not my place to say or I would tell you. You know I would." I said and she sighed.

"What do I ask him? I have no idea what your talking about." She said befuddled.

"His family. Just ask about his family and be CASUAL about it. He should tell you." I said and we reached the toilets. Ally sighed and nodded.

"What now then?" She asked me.

"Um, stay for a bit and make it look slightly and make me look a little sick." I said and looked at me reflection in the mirror above the sink and thought of where to start.

"Right, what does a sick persons eyes look like?" I asked Allison and turned to her and she was reapplying her lipstick even though she doesn't need to. I gave her an amused look.

"Mr Gerald's. And what? I wanna look cute for Harry." He said when she noticed my stare.

"You look cute all the time. And he's seen you at your worst and still likes you so I doubt that you will need to try. So, really what do they look like?" I said and she smiled.

"Thaaanks boooo! Rub them a bit to make them a little red so they look as if you was crying." She suggested.

"But I'm wearing mascara and eyeliner. It will all smudge." I said.

"Oh yeah, um......I have no idea. Force tears but don't let them fall and make yourself yawn." She said and I nodded. I did as she said and it looked more realistic.

"There you go, and take your blush off or fade it so your a little bit paler." She said and I rubbed my cheeks to fade the blush.

"I just look like I've been crying a little bit...just watery eyes." I said and laughed.

"Exactly. Now let's go back to class." She said.

"You know, you and Harry won't have to do this either since you haven't had time to prepare because you have been with me." I said and she threw her hands up in praise.

"Your awesome!" She said.

"I know. Let's calm down now so its not suspicious." I said and we got serious as we entered the class.

Everyone was silent because someone was performing; that being Jack, as in Hunter's friend, and his girlfriend Leila who I've never meet before but seems friendly enough. We silently slipped into the room without disturbing the performance and Miss told me and Nelly to wait at the door for a moment. When the performance was over she came to us and told the class to give feedback to Jack and Leila.

"How are you feeling?" She asked me and Ally put her arm around me in a comforting way.

"Not good Miss." I replied and sniffled.

"Okay, well you two can sit aside for this assessment. Obviously your partners can't perform alone with this act so you will have to just give your best on your next opportunity. Go and have a seat." She said and we walked to our group who was giving us snide smirks. We reached them and sat down.

"Well, I'm proud of our amazing acting skills if I say so myself." I said quietly and high fived Ally.

"Well done babe your a genius!" Niall said and hugged me with one arm.

"I feel as if I've done something life changing when I only faked being sick. But thanks for he praise!" I laughed.

"Next up; Louis and Eleanor." Miss said and El shriveled up in her seat and Louis sighed.

"Come on El, lets get it over with." Louis said and El sluggishly stood and followed Louis to the front. They prepared for a moment before they got into place.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"Okay everyone, stay calm. Its just a fire drill." Miss said and El began jumping up and down happily because she didn't have to perform. Louis wasn't bothered either way whether he got to or not but he laughed at how giddy El had got.

I linked my arm around Niall's so I wouldn't lose him since everyone was shoving eachother out the way to get to the playground and into lines. Dani, Liam, Perrie, Zayn, Louis and El did something similar and Harry held Ally's arm so she didn't get lost which I thought was super cute and I gave her 'the look'.

"Aw, Niall look." I said and motioned my head toward Harry and Ally.

"I'm gonna sound girly right now but I don't care: they need to get together." He said and put emphasis on the word 'need'. I laughed and shook my head.

"Preach." I said.

We all made our way to the playground, muttering our conversations to eachother since we wasn't even meant to be talking in the first place, when someone shoved into me. I looked to my side to see who it was and I literally had to cross my arms so I didn't punch them square in the face. I stood there, with Niall's hand on my arm in attempt to calm me down, with Anastasia and Carina in front of me holding snide expressions on their caked faces. The rest of the school continued streaming out onto the yard except from me, Niall and the two dogs opposite me. I had the most bitchy face and eyes to kill but they didn't budge. In fact, Carina stepped closer to me. I straightened to show I wasn't affected by it.

"Are you just gonna stand there or what? Say something or fuck off." I said. Niall's hold on my arm moved to my waist a little, probably sensing that my patience was wearing off. It's just something about these two girls that just-urgh-I don't know, they just piss me off without even hardly trying.

"Ooh, someone's not happy." Carina said and I laughed.

"Are you actually mentally deficient? You naturally piss me off, your a slut and you are stood in front of me, breathing the same air as me. Of course I'm not happy." I said to her. If I'm honest, Anastasia hasn't done anything personal to me so unless she does my main focus of anger is on Carina.

"How am I a slut? How am I mentally deficient?" She asked me completely honestly. I turned to Niall who looked lost for words, and I felt like punching the wall from frustration.

"Was that a serious question?" I asked her.

"...yeah..." She said. Even Anastasia was expressionless.

"You have to be fucking kidding me. Well. 1) You kissed my boyfriend when you know he's not single. 2) You flirt with him non stop. Having a crush is one thing but stalking and taking photos without him knowing is another, and it's illegal. 3) You wear clothes that don't cover your ass just so you can get attention from guys. 4) I'm not in charge of your wardrobe choices but I know you chose what your wearing so that when people look at you the first thing they see is your boobs,which are non existent, then your ass before they even bother looking at your face. 5) You don't even know that any of what I've just said is wrong to do. I'm not saying that that you shouldn't wear clothes that show some skin but you take it to a whole new level." I ranted and counted on my fingers as I said them. Carina didn't know what to say and Anastasia was messing on her phone. Why hasn't she piped up yet? Her friend seems too need backup.

I looked at Niall, who by this time had both his hands around my waist and Carina looked beyond jealous and sent me daggers. I gave her a knowing smile to piss her off further.

"Should we go?" Niall suggested and dropped his hands from my waist and grabbed my hand.

"Yup!" I said and we walked away from an angry and jealous Carina, and Anastasia, who I'm confused about.

"Why didn't Anastasia say anything? She was just stood there in the background not even paying attention. I was expecting a mouthful off her." I said to Niall.

"God knows, I was too busy counting how many times Carina's facial expression changed. I swear, it was the most amusing thing ever." Niall said and I grinned.

"I was too busy ranting to even notice." I chuckled.

"Ah shit. We need an excuse." Niall said and we paused near the doors to the yard.

"I can say I was sick again and you can say you was just staying with me?" I suggested.

"Yeah. Anything will do. As long as its not absurd." Niall said and shrugged in agreement.

"Yeah, like arguing wit Carina about how she's a slut." I said sarcastically and giggled.

"Right. Poker faces." I said and we made our way to Miss Spencer.

"Sorry Miss, Nelly was being sick so I thought it would be best that I stay with her in case anything happened." Niall explained to Miss who seemed to buy it.

"Do you think you need to go home? This seems pretty serious." Miss Spencer asked me with a concerned expression.

"No, I think I can get through today Miss." I said and sniffled.

"Are you sure?" She asked me and I nodded we were about to walk away when Miss Spencer called us back.

"Did you two buy any chance see Anastasia Macavers and Carina Ashworth inside?" She asked. Me and Niall looked at each other for a moment and he had to turn away for a moment so he wouldn't blow our cover by laughing.

"No Miss. No one was in there as far as we seen. We only went to the toilets and straight here." I said and acted confused. Miss nodded and turned to the teacher in the next line from us, who I'm guessing should have the two bitches in her class, after she dismissed us to go the back of the line.

"Where the hell was you guys? Mr Streisand was looking for you!" Zayn exclaimed.

"Um...what do I do best?" I quizzed him.

"You were arguing with Carina and Anastasia weren't you?" He asked smugly.

"Yup. Minus Anastasia. Strangely she never said a word or anything, she just stood there in the background." I said and Zayn furrowed his eyebrows.

"That is pretty fucking weird. She always finds something to say." He commented.

"I actually do feel kinda bad for what I said to Carina though, but she was asking for it when she kissed Niall and took those photos." I said and tugged the corner of my mouth to the side in an 'oops' kind of way.

"Why? What?" He asked me astonished.

"I sorta feel sorry for her, maybe if she never went around with Anastasia in the first place she wouldn't have ended up like this. And she does have feelings...surprisingly... And I think I took it too far. I don't know her personally and yes she was wrong and totally out of line but everyone makes mistakes, right?" I said and thought about it for a moment. They all looked at me amused.

"I'm chatting shit aren't I?" I asked knowing my answer.

"Yup." They all said just our of sync.

"You've gone soft!" Harry said and got me in a loose headlock and scuffed his fist on my head lightly and I swatted him away.

"Like Mr Streisand's dick. Or Mr Gerald's." Perrie said and I had to high five her for it.

"I like it." I said and they looked at me for a moment in a way I've never noticed before. Then I clicked on.

"Not their dicks! The joke!" I corrected them.

"Sure, older men are more experienced you know?" Dani said.

"How would you know?" I shot back.

"They have had more time to practice their techniques." She said.

"Fair point. Still, who would go for either of them two? Pedophile and Hitler. And they're like quadruple my age times ten. I don't think so." I said and gagged.

"True dat." Ally said. The school was dismissed to go back to their lessons since it was just a drill to test if the alarms were working.

We arrived at class and took our seats. Miss Spencer was about to give out instructions but the end of school bell went. She shook her head with a chuckle.

"Your all dismissed, have a great weekend!" She said and I was confused. Its only Thursday...

"Great weekend?" I asked Niall.

"Yeah, we're all off tomorrow." He said.

"Why didn't I know this?" I asked with my eyebrows crinkled.

"I have no idea." He said and pulled me to him while we caught up to the others and walked out.

We got into the car, the girls were getting a lift home so we all sat in the back, and Harry drove us.

"When should we go shopping?" I asked excitedly.

"Um, we could get ready when we get to our homes then text each other when were ready and go then?" Dani suggested.

"I'm cool with that." Ally said.

"Same." We all agreed. Harry dropped each of the girls off before taking us home.

Its been chaotic this week.
