Old friends

                                    

                                          
I take one of the backseats in the classroom. Some of the other people seems familiar and some of them I recognizes. I just keep to myself though. I can't stop thinking about what Dylan told me. The boy's kind of disbanded when they started in high school. They all got into new groups. Dylan got into drama class and got new friends there, Niall got into soccer and Yoongi into basketball. 
                          
The teacher come in and then the bell rings just seconds later. Just before he closes the door, someone stops him. "Just on time Yoongi" the teacher says. Yoongi take one of the seats near me. He doesn't notice me. In fact he doesn't notice anyone. 
                          
Just like Dylan, he really matured. I know.. of course they did. I did too. We all used to be awkward kids and now we are all grown up. I wonder how Niall looks now.
                          
"We have a new girl in class" I suddenly hear my teacher say. Oh shit. The strategy to sit in the back to get no attention didn't work. The teacher look right at me "please introduce yourself" he encourage me. "Ehm" I clear my throat "My name is Y/N and yeah... I guess I'm the new kid" I try not to sound awkward. I glance at Yoongi who looks puzzled, like he is unsure if its me. 
                          
"Y/N actually went to the same middle school as most of us. So she isn't all new, right Y/N?" a girl which name I don't remember state. I nod and then look over at Yoongi. He looks conflicted as he quickly turns around ignoring me. "Then welcome back" the teacher says. 
                          
I can't stop thinking about if Yoongi is mad at me. He always tended to hold grudges, maybe I need to loosen him up? Maybe I can get our little group together. I smile at the thought. But then again... We are not kids anymore. Things have changed. Its not that easy anymore. Is it?
                          
I need to find Niall. He's generally positive. Maybe he can gather the group.
                          
After the first lecture I couldn't reach Yoongi before he disappeared. Its like he's really not interested in talking with me.
                          
I had other lectures, where I met some of my old classmates. They greeted me nicely and I was invited to try out for the cheerleading squad, as I have been on the squad at my old school.

I'm heading for the canteen to have my lunch break. I don't have any lunch with me though or don't intend on buying any. I was already invited to join the cheerleading table, but I feel like I need to look for Niall. 
                          
I stand close to the entrance to keep an eye out. I take up my phone to look at, so I don't come across as some weird lonely type, who don't have any friends.
                          
"Hey Y/N" I recognize Dylans voice from earlier. I look up and see Dylan with Niall standing beside him. "Niall" I blurt out and he immediately turns in for a hug. "Welcome home" he says warmly while he tightens the hug. 
                          
He pulls out and look at me from my head to my feet and then smirks at me. "What was that?" Dylan frowns at Niall. Niall laughs "That was a hug. Do you need one too?". "That's not what I meant, and you know that" Dylan says almost resignedly. Niall then quickly drags me along "come let's find a seat".
                          
We find an empty table and sit down. Its feels weird, but at the same time nostalgic and nice. I have to admit, that everything is going pretty well considering its my first day. I didn't even have to find Niall myself. Dylan did that. Niall knuckle Dylan on his arm "God.. when you approach me in math class, I was sure you were going to complain about me"
                          
Dylan gently rubs his arm where Niall hit him: "Why would I do that?"
                          
 Niall: "You haven't talked to me in ages and then you suddenly come up. You only look irritated at me in class sometimes"
                          
Dylan: "You can be really loud sometimes"
                          
Dylan then looks to me for acknowledgment "you remember how loud he could be, right?" he defends. I laughs a little "yes, but I miss that.." I take a deep breath and look down "I miss this" I say sadly. Dylan nods in agreement while looking down. Niall then slam his hands down on the table and look at us with a big encouragement smile "Hey don't look sad guys" he states, "We are together now". Dylan shakes his head "No, Yoongi isn't here". "Not yet" Niall laughs acting like it is totally normal for us to gather after all these years.
