Sick Little Games

Chapter 9

 When I got in the school’s parking lot, I was so absorbed in mentally rapping along with Nicki Minaj to her fantastic song ‘Here I Am’ that I almost didn’t notice Harry, who waiting for me. Of course, I had to see him. We made eye contact for a second or two so, of course, he saw me and now it was impossible for me to ignore him. Great. I kept walking, my face wasn’t showing any kind of emotion and I hope it gave him a little idea of how I was feeling on this fine morning. I walked past him but as you probably guessed, he grabbed my arm and spun me around. I was now forced to face him and I had nowhere to go. Wow. This day was already shitty and now it’s getting worse. I took my earphones off and threw my iPod in my bag, waiting for him to say something. “What do you want? ” I said, visibly annoyed. He looked down, hands in pockets and he wasn’t saying a word. He looked like a poor scared little boy. “It’s just that… You’ve been ignoring me all weekend so… I just wanted to tell you that I’m really sorry about friday night… At the party… ” He said slowly, still looking at the ground. “Fuck off, Styles. I don’t wanna hear it. ” I scoffed, turning around and before I could even step away from him, he appeared infront of me. He was now looking me straight in the eyes and he looked completely devastated. “ Look, I’m sorry! Alright? It’s just that… The fact that you lied to me pissed me off… ” I frowned. Did he just say that I lied? Wait a second, I probably missed something here. “Would you care to explain how I fucking lied to you!? ” I screamed, not really caring that everyone in the parking lot could probably hear me. “You told me nothing was going on with Ethan and you didn’t tell me about Niall- ” He wasn’t quite done but I was. Everything he was saying was completely stupid and false. 

“That’s where you’re wrong! I’m not seeing Ethan! Louis thought I was so he just invited him. And about Niall, I just chose not to tell you because it meant nothing! That’s not lying. ” I said, crossing my arms, waiting for what he had to say next. “Well, you could have told me! Niall’s my best mate and the fact that you two made out is something I would have loved to know! ” He said, starting to get angry. “When are you going to get it, Harry!? It’s not of your fucking business! You and me, we’re not a couple! ” I screamed, boiling with anger. His face fell. He was no longer looking angry with me… He just looked terribly sad. No one was talking. The silence was so awkward that I just wanted to disappear forever. I sighed very loudly and walked away from him. “But I’d like that… ” Harry said, not too far behind me. I stopped and thought about what he just said for a minute. He’d like what exactly? I slowly turned around with a questioning look on my face. “You and me, together… As a proper couple… I’d like that. ” He said, with a sad smile. A normal girl would have jumped of joy, hearing something like that is every girls’ dream… But not mine. I looked down at the ground because I simply didn’t know what to say. The silence was so awkward that it just made me want to pull my hair out. I finally took a deep breath and looked up to meet his eyes again. “From the start, I told you it would be just about the sex… No feelings involved. ” I said, blankly. I supposed he would add something but he didn’t. He stayed silent, just standing there, looking at me. “I meant it then and… I still do. I’m sorry. ” I quickly said and turned around. The bell rang as I was about to reach the stairs. Great. I was going to be late. I opened the door and turned around, Harry was nowhere to be seen.
