harry

i would like to say that the morning after, mystery boy and i formally introduced ourselves. that we went out for coffee and got to know each other. maybe even fell in love. but no, that's not what happened because i'm a coward. i had woken up earlier than him and left early in the morning before he woke up and that was the last time i saw him.

i slammed my locker shut as the last bell of the day rang, signaling that school was over for the day. the hallways filled just as quickly as they were soon emptied. the hallways became silent. something so startling after the sound of chaos that had erupted in that same place not even minutes ago. i had my bag over my shoulder and was heading on my way out when an arm wrapped around my shoulders. i went rigid and still at the sudden unexpected human contact. i turned and saw that it was my best friend, zayn which caused me to relax a bit.

"hey harry. you free to hang out tonight?" he questioned. i thought for a bit. i could either watch him and his boyfriend get it on in front of me or spend time watching shitty tv shows. hard choice.

"yeah, i think i'll pass tonight. i've got to study for that test tomorrow." i quickly said using an excuse. zayn stared at me trying to tell if i was bluffing or not.

"okay, guess we'll see you tomorrow then. bye harry." zayn said before letting go of me and heading somewhere else. i left the school building heading to the car waiting in front of the school steps.

"can i drive?" i asked through the open window.

"never in a million years. get in." mai said. i sighed before entering the warm mercedes. i rested my whole body against the seat after buckling myself up. i sighed slowly before looking at my sister.

"bad day?" she questioned.

"a tiring one." i answered.

"ice cream?" she suggested.

"please." and we were off.

...

we sat on the hood of her car overlooking the city. we were parked on the top floor of the parking garage. i bit into my blizzard letting the cold ice cream melt in my mouth. my sister sat right next to me. music was blaring from the stereo in the car filling the air with the sounds of vic fuentes' voice filling the air.

"what time is it?" i asked. she glanced at her watch quickly checking the time.

"you need to take your meds. do you have a lot of homework?" she questioned.

"yeah but i don't think i'll do it today. you?" i replied while sliding off the car and placing my ice cream cup on the hood. i reached into the car and searched through my bag for my pills and water. i poured two out and shoved them in my mouth, wincing as i swallowed them. i swished down some water and then put it all back in my bag. i sat back on the car and continued eating my ice cream.

"don't know, don't care." she answered.

mai suddenly stood up and tossed her's to the floor. she threw her head back before screaming the lyrics out. she didn't care that she could be interrupting a child's nap or startling some old man into a heart attack. the small vietnamese girl just screamed her heart out to her favorite song. and I screamed right along side her.

"we'll start a new revolution now!"
