Desolate - h.s. ✓

     My friends and I were in PacSun, the four of us looking at different bathing suits. I wasn't attempting to impress anyone but myself, and I figured that yellow was the best bet as of right now. After trying it on, and staring at myself in the mirror for a while, I decided it was the perfect choice.

"Are you getting it?" Ella asked.

"Yep," I nodded. "How about the one you tried on?"

"Nope. My boobs spilled out, and when I tried the next size, it was too large on my body."

"Well that sucks."

Ella agreed. Blair and Lex came out of the fitting room, Blair getting the suit she tried on, while Lex claimed to have the same problem that Ella had. We checked out, the four of us leaving the mall for Blair's. Thankfully, Blair stopped at my house so I could grab clothes before we actually made our way to her place, allowing me to not worry about what clothes I would need to borrow from her. Once we got to her house, we all dropped our things off in her room before heading to the kitchen. It wasn't long before we were picking out drinks we each wanted, as well as a snack. I had decided on several cookies, while my friends chose chips to eat. Walking back into the living room, I sat on the sofa, my friends following along.

"So, anything new?" Lex started.

"I know that Kaylee is pregnant. At least, that is what I have heard," Blair shrugged. "Not that I really care, I more so feel bad."

"Maybe it was planned," I attempted, though I knew there was no way that was true.

"No. What seventeen year old plans to have a child at this age?" Ella asked. "Last time I checked, no one has done that since at least the early nineteen hundreds."

We all agreed, my topic being on the fact that I unfortunately saw a dick picture of some boy from my English class. It wasn't on purpose, rather me being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lex, Blair, and Ella all asked me questions about it, but I refused to answer, explaining that I wanted the image to not be imprinted into my brain. On the other hand, Ella started talking about how she disliked some of the people at the gym she went to, which I then started speaking about how I enjoyed running for that precise reason. Not only did I not have to deal with other people, but it was easy to focus. We continued talking for about another hour before the four of us got changed into our bathing suits, my fingers grasping my phone as I headed out to the pool.

Ethan: hey sis

Hi?

Ethan: I have a question

What's up?

Ethan: so, I don't know, Harry has just been super quiet lately, and he blew up at coach and he has barely spoken to me.

Aaaand?

Ethan: well, I saw you like run after him or whatever. I don't know why, but did he tell you anything?

My heart was thudding in my chest. A part of me wanted to tell my brother exactly what was wrong with Harry. It would become more of his problem than it was mine. Although, another piece of me wondered why Harry had told me his current issue when he could have easily told my brother. Sighing, I went to send my brother a text when one came in from the boy we were talking about.

Harry: I'm looking over his shoulder and if you say anything, I'll ruin your fucking life

You should tell him
