Recap:
"Hi. I'm Ed. It's nice to meet you," the boy with bright red hair said, extending his hand for a handshake. After Ed's greeting, everyone else introduced themselves. I learned the blonde boy next to Elena was named Niall, the black haired boy was Zayn, the boy with the buzz cut was Liam, and the boy with the light brown fringe was Ashton. The curly haired boy didn't say a word. He just looked at me, and then at his food, then at me again.
"I'm Harry." He said after about a minute.
Everyone's mouth dropped open in a surprised expression.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
"Hi, Harry," I said smiling at him. He smiled a little half-smile back at me, and then went back to looking at his food. Everyone else was still gaping at Harry.
"Um..Elena?" I asked hesitantly, wondering why everyone was so shocked. Everyone snapped out of their trance when I spoke.
"Hmm?" She answered.
"Uh...where do we go after this?" Elena laughed at my question. It seemed to break the tension.
"We're all going to go to free time in the hangout room. We'll leave one-by-one to go to our therapy sessions. Yours is right after mine so I'll show you the way and then bring you back to our room after." She informed me.
"Oh." I replied. She laughed again.
"That was a very descriptive reply." She said with a grin.
The rest of lunch went by with no more surprises. Everyone went back to their conversations they were having before I got here. I talked to Ed a little bit and found out he was recovering from an addiction to drugs. I also noticed no one was talking to Harry, and he wasn't talking to anyone else. It seemed like he was new here like me, but didn't have a nice roommate like Elena.
Everyone left at different times Elena and I were the last of our group to get there, besides Louis. That boy eats fast! I don't think even chewed his food, just shoved it down his throat.
When we were done eating, Elena showed me to the hangout room. On the way there I decided to ask her about Harry.
"Hey, is Harry new like me?" I asked.
"No, he's been here longer than any of us. Why?" She answered.
"I just noticed that no one was talking to him and I wondered why."
"We let him sit by us, but he's never said anything before today."
"Never said anything?" I was shocked.
"Nope. We had to find out his name from the nurses and that's the only thing we know about him. We can assume some stuff, like that he had a eating disorder and he's about 18, but other than that, we know nothing."
"Have you guys tried talking to him?"
"Yeah, all of us have. Ed's his roommate, which is kinda funny 'cause Ed talks all the time. I think it's the jitters from being off his drugs, he's only been here a little longer than you, you know."
"Really?" I asked. "He seems so comfortable with everything."
"Yeah. He adjusted really fast."
"But why do you think Harry wouldn't talk to Ed or you or Louis or anyone, but the day I get here, he talks to me?" I was still kinda confused.
"I seriously have no idea. But you might want to stay away from him. He seems creepy." We reached the hangout room and she lead me over to a corner of the room.
All the guys from the lunch table were there, even Harry. They were all sat in chairs, beanbags, or just on the floor. Harry was in a beanbag separate from everyone else. So, when Elena pulled up a chair to talk to everyone else, I grabbed a beanbag and sat right next to Harry. Elena gave me a look like 'what're you doing? I told you to stay away from him!' But I ignored her.
"Hi," I said softly. He just looked up at me.
"You can talk to me. Its ok, you already did once."
"Um...what do you want me to say?" He asked me. I smiled at my being able to get him to talk. Louis and Elena were gaping at Harry again, so I glared at them.
"Anything!" I told him. "Or, if you don't mind, I could ask you questions and you could answer them."
"That's fine." He started playing with his hands.
"What's your full name?" I asked.
"Harry Styles." He answered.
"Where are you from?"
"Holmes Chapel, Cheshire."
"No way! I used to live there when I was little! Um.. Why are you here?"
"My mom died, and I got depressed and stopped eating. My grandma couldn't be bothered to deal with me, so she sent me here."
"Oh.. Why did you talk to me when I got here, but won't talk to anyone else?"
"Do I have to answer?"
"Not if you don't want to."
"Ok, I'll pass then." I was a little disappointed, but if he didn't want to, I understood.
I opened my mouth to ask him another question, but Elena called me over to her for our therapy sessions.
"Can we talk again later?" I asked him, standing up.
"Sure," He said, "I would like that."
"Me too." I said walking away. "Me too."
