Hope Taylor

My alarm rang at 8am. I made sure I always had one set so I could keep some sort of regular sleeping pattern. I turned the alarm off and picked up my phone. Finally, I'd gotten a response from the number. "Hey, it's Harry. Harry Styles." The messaged read.

What?

I was sure it was a joke, how would Harry have my number? And why would he want it?

I ignored the message and sighed, putting my phone on my bedside table. Less than 5 minutes later, Ellie ran into my room with a grin on her face. I loved my little sister but sometimes she was just a little too energetic, especially in the morning. "Hi Hope. Mummy said you need to have breakfast so I came to tell you." She said, showing off the gap in her smile from where she had lost her first tooth.

I internally groaned. "Okay I'll be down in a minute Ell." I replied. "Go and let mum know for me please?" I asked and she nodded, running out of my room and down the stairs.

I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes, I stood up and changed from pyjamas into comfy grey joggers and a black hoodie. There was never really a point to dressing up anymore, so I rarely did.

I walked downstairs. Breakfast was only porridge. Before the lock down I hated it, but now it was one of the main breakfasts, so I couldn't be picky anymore. Everybody got the same food in their ration packs, unless their was special dietary requirements such as allergies.

Once I'd eaten breakfast, I walked back into my room. I brushed my teeth and hair and refreshed my face in the bathroom joined onto my room, before slumping back down onto my bed.

I checked my phone. 5 new messages?

I checked the notifications, all of them were from Harry.

"Hope, you there?"

"Hey :)"

"I'm bored and you're terrible at replying. Please answer me."

"Hopeeee"

"Alright I'll stop"

What the hell? I decided to reply, seen as though I gathered he wouldn't leave me alone unless I did.

"Hi, how did you get my number and why did you get it? I thought you hated me because I'm not a pretty popular girl with 5 tonnes of makeup on my face and my tits showing 24/7"

I don't know why I didn't just ask the questions and leave it there but I couldn't help myself. He had always been shitty to girls like me and it wasn't fair. Yeah, we might not have the perfect face and bodies, but I have a better personality than any of the well known girls would.

He replied fairly quickly, "oh I got it from Jake. I don't know, I've had it for ages and I was just really bored last night so decided to message. I'm sorry if I gave you that impression, but that's not at all how it is."

Harry Styles apologising? This has to be a joke. I'd say someone else probably has his phone but that's impossible in the world's current situation. Perhaps it isn't even Harry and someone is just pretending to be him. And how the hell did Harry get my number from my ex boyfriend?
