The Wires Case [ h.s ]

chapter 6

Harry Styles

Friday came faster than what I expected, and by the time I sat my ass down on my couch after finishing a ton of homework I realized that my first week at university and my first week infiltrating Brooke's life was over, and that I made zero progress.

Well, in the second part, I finished all my homework.

I tried talking to Brooke sometimes about the project but she disappeared faster than I could blink and just appeared when it was impossible for me to talk to her.

It's like she knows I'm trying to get under her skin and she's doing everything she can to prevent me from finding all her secrets and letting them out.

I don't blame her though, I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me either. But it is what it is. It is what has to be done.

It's justice. It's my job.

And I'm not going to lose it for some 18 year old teenager. Not happening.

That's why after giving it at least a solid 20 minutes of thinking I pressed send to the message I've been staring at. It was a simple hello, but the more I look at it in her chat the more I realize how fucking creppy it seems.

Shit.

It's not creepy right? It's just a hello from a person she doesn't have added, and that she doesn't know who it is or how the hell it got her number.

Yep, not creepy at all.

Fuck.

I huff and throw my head foward. My long brown locks falling on my eyes and covering them. I took out my bandana when I finished homework, but I think I should have kept it on.

I run a hand through my hair, taking out my face as I sit straight again. I contemplate on what to do. Should I add 'it's Harry' so it doesn't creep her out? Or maybe by saying that she will ignore me more? God I don't know.

I place my phone on the table in front of the sofa and head to my kitchen. I don't have time to overthink over some stupid text.

I haven't eaten all day, and even though I'm not hungry I know I have to eat. I was supposed to have lunch with Blake but he had it with Sienna because they were going to work on the project afterwards, so I just didn't eat.

I open my fridge and I take out some leftovers from the other day. I also take out water.

I put the leftovers on the microwave to heat them up while I open my bottle of water and I take a sip. Just when I take a seat on one of my chairs, my phone rings and I don't think I ever got up faster.

When I get to the living room I grab it and turn it around to see the front screen and something inside me sparks when I see her name on it.

I open her chat while I make my way back to the kitchen to grab my food. I take it out of the microwave and I place it on the table before going to grab a fork to eat it. Once I'm seated, I look at her text.
