My stupid alarm rings, signalling for me to get up and go to uni. When I applied for uni, there was always the option to stay in the dorms but I have been so closed off from people ever since my mothers passing, I don't want them to think I'm weird and unsociable. I should really start opening up to people. I rub my eyes and let out an over exaggerated yawn. I push my blanket off of me and swing my legs over to the side of my bed. I stand up and stretch my arms up in the air. Ugh.

I walk over to my window, not a cloud in the sky which makes me more excited to go out with Cam. I walk over to my mirror and almost get scared by my own appearance, my hair looks like a birds nest. My skin looks so pail, more than usual, I look ill. I glance down at my knees and the memories from yesterday come flooding back. The feeling of Harry's hands touching my skin bring back the heat that I felt at the time. I shake my head to snap me out of my daydream and yawn. Again.

I turn and walk to my wardrobe, I pick out some tight, blue, high wasted jeans and a black top that shows my shoulders. I walk over to my door and pick up my white, low style converse and slide them on. I am quite casual when it comes to school, I like wearing something comfortable yet presentable.

I open the door to my bathroom and grab the hair brush that sits on the shelf. I brush through my hair and turn on my straightener. As I wait for it to heat up, I grab my toothbrush and brush my teeth. I rinse it with mouth wash and spit it out. I take some water in my hands and splash it on my face, wiping the excess water away with the back of my hand.

Once I finish straightening my hair, I grab a bobble and get some of my hair and wrap it in a bun, in a half up, half down hair style. Once I am happy with what my hair looks like, I make my way back in to my room and grab my makeup bag. I brush through my eyebrows and fill them in a little and then put some mascara on. I'm feeling the natural look today. I finish everything off with some perfume and I grab my bag, making my way out of my room and down the stairs.

I walk in to the dining room and am greeted with my brother and father already sat at the table, waiting for me. I look at them apologetically and sit down.

"So, how did you sleep my dear?" My father asks and I feel the blood rushing to my face. Did Cam tell him I snuck out? I look over at him and his eyes are on his food.

"I slept well thank you." I answer, he nods and smiles and asks Cam the same question. I sigh of relief.

We all have a conversation on the table just before Cam and I have to leave for Uni. Cam is only two years older than me and is in his third year of uni. I remember when he walked me to all of my classes on my first day of uni because I didn't know how to get to them. He is such a good brother and always has my back. We just don't go out like we used to.

"Cameron, we have training after school, don't forget." My father says and pats Cam on the back.

I am in a daydream before I realise what my father just said. They have training? Does this mean Cam will cancel on me? I look at him and he smiles.

"No can do, I'm going on a walk with Gen." He smiles and waits for our father to reply.

He sighs and tries to hide his disappointment, "Ok, tomorrow then?" He asks and Cam nods. I'm so glad Cam and I are still going out later.

I get my stuff ready and wait for Cam, he comes over and we say goodbye to our father and leave to wait for the bus. We both stand at the bus stop and I start tapping my foot, "This is taking forever."

Cam laughs, "This is why we should both be living in the dorms, you would never have to wait for a bus."

He's right, but I can't. I would feel so awkward.

Just as our conversation ends, the bus pulls over and we get in, the ride is only 15 minutes and we get out.

"See you later Gen." Cam waves me off and goes to class, I say bye and make my way to Geography.

I step in the class and my eyes shoot to the curly haired boy sitting in the corner, next to my seat. My heart stops for a second and he notices me staring. I turn my head quickly and I feel my cheeks start to go red. I walk over and sit next to Harry.

"When did you transfer?" I ask and he turns to look at me.

"Today." He smiles and turns back to look at the front.

Thats a bit strange, he transfers to your school the day after you meet?

"May I ask, why you did?" I ask and he looks at me.

"I felt like it." He says. He's so difficult, why can't he just tell me?

He's probably planning to murder you. Why else would he transfer to your school? I roll my eyes at my over exaggeration.

As the class finishes, I get up, my foot gets stuck between the chair and table and I start to fall. My eyes squeeze shut as I wait for the impact of my body when it hits the floor but it never happens. I open my eyes, Harry caught me. I stand up and thank him.

"We should really stop meeting under these circumstances." He chuckles. I think he means that every time he has seen me, I am falling over.

I join in with his laughter and he walks with me to the door.

"So, how are your knees feeling babe?" He asks and the word babe warms my heart.

"It still stings but it will be ok, thank you." I smile.

"That's good, see you around." He winks and walks away. That was a bit strange. He walked away so fast. Am I that bad?

I look down to the floor and carry on going to my next lesson.

When I get home, the first thing I do is run up the stairs and jump on to my bed, I'm so exhausted.

"Gen, are you ready to go?" I hear Cam shout and realise that I fell asleep for a bit. I jump up and run down the stairs.

He smiles at me and I return the gesture.

"Where do you want to go?" He asks.

"Where ever the wind takes us." I laugh and we head out to the door.
