Louis's POV

Zayn and I soon arrive at the school and he points me in the direction of the front office. He said he had to take care of something so I walk into the building alone. After a few minutes I found the office and got my schedule and a map of the school. The school had three wings. One wing with core classes and the office. One wing with extra credit class and clubs. The last had High School Credit classes and the auditorium . I just had to go to my locker the my first class which is Maths. I adjust my shoulder bag and start walking down the hallway. My locker is 537 so I started scanning the numbers as I walked by.

"534……535……536……537!" I mumble to myself as I walk.

I quickly put the combination in the full sized locker and opened it. I take my shoulder bag off and take out my Math binder. Then the lockers shook and I heard someone scream. I drop my stuff and looked around and spotted three boys wait make that men standing around a boy that one had pushed against the lockers. Book that I guessed was the boys were scattered everywhere. The boy had blonde hair covered with a beanie and teary blue eyes that were framed with black glasses and braces on his teeth. I just can't stand here. I walk over to them forgetting about my opened locker. We were the only ones in the hall even tho Zayn gave me a ride I was still late. As I got closer I could tell what they were saying.

"Faggot!"

"Die Already"

"Worthless"

"What did he ever do to you?" I scream when I got a foot from him.

They turn to face me and look a bit shocked. Then the one who had him pined spoke.

"This is what faggots deserve"

"So you are hurting him for being brave and coming out of the closet . For being who he is. For who he loves. You don't even know him and you judge him for liking boys." I spoke with my hands on my hips.

The one who had the blonde boy pined dropped him and walked to me. He was six something so he towered over me because I'm 5'3.

"Are you a little faggot ,too?" He asked pushing me into the locker holding both my wrists over my head with one hand.

I simply just smirk when I notice his legs are apart a bit. I pull my leg back and kick him straight in the balls. He let's go and falls to the floor. The second boy walks over to me and tries to punch me ,but I duck and then punch him square in the jaw. He falls to the floor and I glance over at the other boy. He was running down the hall. I walk over to the boy who was dropped on the floor and help him up.

"You ok?" I ask as I helped him pick his books up.

"Yeah. You're the only one who's ever stood up for me. Your Brave. Here have this as a way of saying thank you" He spoke pulling off a necklace and handing it to me.

I take and notice: It's a key. I turn it in my hands and saw one word written down the side: Bravery.

"Thanks. I'm Louis Tomlinson by the way. And you're the brave one here." I spoke putting the necklace on then holding my hand out.

"I'm Niall Horan. And sure. What do you have first?" He asked taking my hand.

"Maths"

"Me too. I'll show you" Niall spoke smiling with is crooked ,but cute teeth.

We walk back to my locker and I pick up my math book. I close my locker then we walk to maths together ,but the only thought on my mind was-

One key down eleven to go.
