Looking Inside

Chapter Six - Trouble

CHAPTER SIX

DAWN'S POV

"With me." His deep, raspy voice whispered to me as I shivered at the thought and the meaning of what he said. He basically wants me to get in bed with him. He didn't excatly say that but I could tell what he means by 'feel free. Go wild. With me.' and a party? Oh I know what happens to house parties thrown by teenagers. There is no way I'm going to his party. Taken aback by his actions towards me, I pushed him away, my cheeks burning up as I rushed back to the school.

It wasn't long until the bell rang and all the other students had to get to their classes. As I entered biology class, sure enough the seats were out again just like yesterday, so I have no choice but to take the seat beside Harry. He still had some obvious cuts and bruises but it didn't look as bad as it had yesterday. I'm still wondering who and why would those bullies do that to him. He doesn't seem to talk to anyone and he seems to avoid everyone too. I know he doesn't like my presence when I first sat next to him, and he surely won't like it again as I took the only vacant seat, which was beside him.

Since he kept my mouth shut and ignored me, I didn't bother to say a word either. "Hey, Dawn. Come sit with us." Anne called me over her shoulders. I met her during lunch break, we were having a good conversation and getting to know each other until Ed interuppted us. I nodded as I grabbed my stuff and moved to the seat next to her and the other girls.

"Why were you sitting with him?!" Anne whispered shouted to me as I sat next to her. "Well that was the only vacant seat I saw when I walked in soo I took it." I answered.

"Don't you know who he is?"

"He is Harry Styles."

"I know but what I mean is you don't know the real him. Stay away from him Dawn. He's dangerous. He can get very violent. He's the evil twin." Anne warned me, looking back to Harry once in awhile.

"What? No. From what I saw yesterday, he was the one getting beaten up, he didn't even fight back. I even helped him and brought him to our house to get his face cleaned."

Anne's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "You helped him?! what did he say? did he even talk to you? You brought him to your house?! "Is he scary? Who beated him up?! Did he hurt you?! Wh-"

"Shhh he might hear us. Just stop okay. He looked helpless yesterday so I helped him just like what normal people would do to people who needs help. He didn't hurt me. He was just quiet and calm. I didn't know who beated him up, I didn't see their faces."

"Just stay away from him. He's..trouble."

I simply nodded.

HARRY'S POV

I wasn't exactly as irritated as I was with Dawn sitting next to me, like yesterday. Actually, I don't mind it at all. I should be thankful and giving her thanks for saving me and cleaning me up after the beating but I kept my mouth shut, not knowing how to talk to her. I was never good at talking to girls, especially flirting with girls. Not that I even flirt with them.

After a while of sitting in silence, one of Ed's bitches called Dawn to sit with them and she left my side. I knew at that moment that bitch will also poison Dawn's mind, then she'll start thinking of me as some kind of evil, dangerous twin, just like everyone else in this school. I witnessed them whispering to each other, Anne looking back at me once in awhile, it was obvious who they were talking about.

Their whispering stopped, Dawn giving a final nod to Anne. Her head turned to mine, our eyes meeting. She was somehow different to all the other people in this school. She didn't give me those nasty mean looks. She showed no fear in me after all that Anne had probably told her. All her eyes showed were...calmness, innocence, caring, as her lips formed into a small smile that somehow made me feel..good.
