due

nat had been looking for any hints at school as to who "anon" could be. no guy in her grade was showing any sign of interest in her. this was becoming very frustrating for her since she liked to be in control of everything she could be. not because she was a control freak, she just liked to be able to protect herself from everything, and now that she couldn't she didn't know what to do.

she had been recieving texts from anon all morning. she didn't answer and had to turn her phone off since he continued to text her and it was getting annoying. she was looking through all her classes to see what guy was on their phone. she had no luck in finding any evidence.

the only thing she knew about him was they shared a lunch period together. at lunch she decided she would take her phone out to text anon back.

nat: hey :)

anon: :-/

nat: what is that for?

anon: u were ignoring my txts all morning and now ur only txting me 2 c who it is :-//////////////////////

nat: oh uhm i am sorry. i did want to find out who you are but i also want to get to know you. i mean like we can be friends?

anon: of course!! pls don't get too attached to me. i hate seeing you upset. don't be dissapointed if you find out who i am, pls?

nat: sure. and don't be uncomfortable around me

anon: is this going to end up in call me carrie?

nat: WHAT HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME.

nat: what i mean is idk what ur talking about...

nat: oH WELL JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE!!!

nat: heyyy why arent you answering me :((((

nat: im sad

nat: doNT LET ME GO BBY

nat: that was random ignore that. pls!1!!!1!

meanwhile, a few table away anon sat staring straight at nat's back. it wasn't normal for a senior to like a sophmore. especially when anon was popular and could have any other senior girl at the snap of his fingers. that didn't matter to him though. he wanted a girlfriend, and the only girl he could see dating was nat.

nat had everything. she was beautiful, like so beautiful that if you saw her on the street you would track her down and buy her flowers beautiful. she had brains, she was the only sophmore who took senior classes. she had the ability to win you over with a few words. she was so captivating, he loved it.

he couldn't believe she didn't figure out it was him yet. he did everything to be able to see her. he stopped driving to and from school so he could walk past her. he didn't even live near her! some would call him a stalker, but all's fair in love and war, so why not?

he knew nat wouldn't tell anyone about this, but she would put it in her school paper column. she was such a talented writer. she was inspired by sex and the city. she loved Carrie Bradshaw so much. it was crazy to believe he knew this much about her, but he didn't care.

none of his friends knew he did this. they all thought he had his eyes on head cheerleader, Chrissy. he was grossed out by her if he had to be honest. she constantly threw herself at him. it was sad.

nat was looking over the lunch room, but every guy was on their phone so she couldn't tell if one of them was texting her. she had a book with her, but didn't feel like reading it. she was very very bored. she resulted in day dreaming about her crush, harry styles. he was a senior. he was  beautiful and had basically every girl in the school, including some teachers, throwing themselves at him.

she ranted about him in her column all the time, she just changed his name to H. it was pretty obvious if you asked her, but none of her readers have seemed to figure out it is him. she was so lucky to have classes with him. he was everything she wanted in a boyfriend. in the midst of her thinking about harry, the bell sounded, informing students lunch was over.

"today i will be assigning you all partners." groans were echoed throughout the class.  harry and nat shared this class together. nat was texting anon while their teacher, Ms.Lionel, read off the partner list.

nat: aNON !! SOSSOSOSOS

anon: whats wrong

nat; nothing.

anon: okay?

nat: IM JUST KIDDING IM DYING I JUST REALISED I HAVE A CHANCE TO BE PARTNERED WITH HARRY STYLES ON MY ENGLISH PROJECT IM SO ASSDFJLGJSDLWSLG

anon: ...

nat: i shouldn't have said that. i am sorry.

anon: no it's ok. i just want you to be happy. so you like him???

nat: nothing more than a school girl crush. i haven't spoken a word to him ever.

anon: no, you have.

nat: what?

anon: oh uhm i just saw you guys talking in the hallway once. that's all.

nat: oh ok...well yeah but only for help in english

anon: maybe he didn't only want help in english...

"natalia murray and harry styles"

nat: OMF I AM HIS PARTNER WE ARE TRIGEHR RHANK TIU SM MS LIONEL U RHE REAL MVP

anon: oooh yes!! now you guys can be together right?

nat: uhm no. since you know me so well you should know that i can't talk to guys and i am a socially awkward freak.

anon: no youre not.

nat: yes i am

anon: no youre not

nat: yes i am

anon: no youre not

nat: uGH he's coming over to me!

anon: go natalia!!!

nat put her phone away in her jeans pocket and straightened herself in her chair. she was shaking. harry styles was nothing to be scared of he was just a guy, but to nat he was the guy. "ha-" she didn't even get the chance to say hi to him when he walked up to Ms. Lionel and asked to have his partners switched. she was crushed inside. how could he do that to her/.

nat: he doesn't want to be my partner.

anon: and how do you know that?

nat: he asked to have a different partner. am i really that bad. this is why i keep to myself. i hate getting hurt or feeling hurt.

anon: well... you still have me ;-))))).

nat: except you won't tell me who you are and you're the only person in this school who seems to care about me.

anon: it has to be this way, trust me. it's better for you.

nat: what is that supposed to mean?!?!

anon: gtg

nat: harry came back he wasnt allowed to switch. wish me luck!!

"hi, im natalia, but you could call me nat."

"hi, im harry, but you can call me harry"
