Screw it.

Chapter 10.

"Hey Sammie!!!", Kathy squealed. She was holding two drinks in her hands:

A Java Chocolate Chip and A Cotton Candy Frappe. I smiled, I was so lucky to have her as a friend. And for the first time that day,

I wasn't jealous of her. I actually wanted to spend time with her.

"Heeyyyy!!!!" I ran towards her and gave her a big hug.

"Woah, be careful! I paid for these drinks you know."

"Haha sorry."

"Soooo... How was the project?"

"It was good... We never actually did anything, just talked."

"About?", her tone suddenly became serious, almost...

Protective.

" Relax Kate we were just talking about band stuff"

"Oh, haha, I thought you guys were talking about me!"

We laughed. It was nice to talk to her without feeling jealous. For that one hour, we just talked and laughed and talked some more.

"Okay Kathy, I better get going, we have school tomorrow you know, see ya tomorrow."

"Okay Sam. Bye!!"

We went our separate ways. The moon was surprisingly bright that night. But my mind wasn't on the moon or how bright it was, all I could think about was Harry. How sweet he was when he was talking to me. How his eyes sparkled every time he laughed or giggled. How he was absolutely perfect. But that one question lingered in my mind the whole night:

Why would he ask me if I had a boyfriend?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I woke up the next day, doing the same routine.

Shower.

Change.

Eat breakfast.

Grab my keys and rush to school.

I reached Geography class just before the bell rang.

The only lessons I had with Kathy were History and Geography , and thank god I wasn't gonna see Harry the whole day today since I had no Math and History.

"Hey sleeping beauty", Kathy said, happy as always.

"Hey Kate."

We continued talking until our teacher , Ms Heathers walked in. We still continued to talk silently throughout the lesson, not really caring what the teacher is saying.

When the bell rung, I gave Kathy a hug and told her I'd meet her after school. She left in a hurry, obviously wanting to go meet up with Harry before the next period.

I walked swiftly to my locker, quickly re-packing my bag for Social Ed. When I closed my locker, I nearly jumped.

A tall boy with beautiful eyes was standing in front of me with a cheery smile. I almost couldn't believe my eyes. He'd never come and meet me at my locker before. I tried not to stutter. I tried.

"Hey H-Harry, what's up?"

" I just wanted to remind you about the meet up we are having later at my place at 2:30? You did remember right?"

Oh fuck. I totally forgot.

OMG HOW COULD I FORGET.

"Yeah of course, 2:30, your place."

"haha yeah."

There it was. The awkward silence again.

Wait. If Harry was here, where's Kathy?

"Harry, where's Kathy?"

His face went as pale as a sheet.

"OH CRAP! I was supposed to meet her 10 minutes ago! See ya later bye!"

"Okay bye!, I shouted to him.

How could he forget? Kathy always bragged about how he's such a good boyfriend and always meets her on time. Why would he forget about her and come and meet me?

I walked into my next class. Wondering.

The whole day I was thinking about Harry. I was so happy when the final bell rung at 1:30. I sprinted out of school. But I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Kathy and Harry. Against Harry's car. Making out. I wish I could wash my eyes with acid. Yeah I saw them making out but this was PDA to the max. It was in the middle of the school car park for god sakes! I decided to walk by the back gate, but it was too late.

"HEYYY SAMMIE!!!" , Kathy ran towards me and gave me a huge hug.

I decided to fake everything I was doing and pretend I saw nothing.

"Hi kate."

"Why didn't you tell m you were meeting Harry today? Now we can't hang out!", She pouted.

Harry was standing right behind her, scratching his neck.

"Yeah i was gonna tell you... I'm just gonna go back home and freshen up. Harry I'll meet you later?"

Just before Harry could say anything, Kathy barged in and said the worst/best idea I've ever heard :"

Don't be silly you look fine! Why don't you just hitch a ride with Harry in his car to his place?"

"YEAH!", Harry let out. "I mean yeah that's a good idea"

"It's settle then! The two of you get into that car! And I'll see you later at 7.", She pointed to me and hugged me. " And you, call me okay babe?"

She kissed Harry, on the lips and left, running towards the bus stop.

" Sooo... shall we go?", Harry asked, breaking the silence.

" Yeah sure."

We walked awkwardly towards his car. He opened the car door for me like a gentleman. I smiled. Kathy was so so lucky.

He jogged to the drivers seat and started the engine.

All I could think about was:

This is gonna be so awkward.
