Settle down

Chapter 33

Ah man. Why was I so obvious. If I keep acting like that when someone says something bad about Harry everyone's gonna know that I'm.... Wait... What am I feeling? Am I falling for him? No way in hell! Tim is right, Harry is not a "nice dude" and he's got a reputation for a reason. Right? I wonder if he's playing with me right now.... Maybe he kisses me and then tells his stupid friends about it. I'm probably just his toy.... I've always said that I would never kiss and tell but maybe it's time for me to break that promise. Watch out Harry, two can play that game you're playing.

I grab my phone from my locker and sneak it in with me to the girls bathroom. I hate the "no phone" rule. I hope that Sally has her phone with her. I dial her number and she answers on the third ring.
"Lola, thank god! You just saved me from the stupid physics quiz." She says happily when she picks up.

"Wait? Did you answer the phone in class?" I ask. I didn't think she would pick up if she was in a class.

"Yeah and Mr.SuperDork thought that I was cheating and made me leave the room." She sounds very happy considering she was thrown out of class.

"Then why are you thanking me?" I ask confused

"Daah. I didn't know it was today and so I haven't studied. I'll do the quiz after school someday this week and that means that I have time to study!" She tells me like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oh... Okay. Anyway the reason that I called is because I need to tell you somethings that I have been keeping to myself and now I need to do something about it because it's becoming a problem and I have a plan." That made sense, right?

"Slow down girl. I didn't get any of that! Where are you? Let's talk." I look at the time. My next class is english..... I think I can miss that.

"Uhm. I'm by my locker. Can you come here?"

Five minutes later Sally arrives with a huge smile on her face. I tell her about Harry and I. Everything. How we met. How we (kind of) became friends. How we kissed at my house. The gala and of cource what happened at the bar. Then I told her about my theory and my plan.

"Oh. My. God! Lola, I dont know if I should be mad at you for not telling me about this or excited that you and Harry are fuck buddies!"

"SALLY!" Gosh, I hate that term!

"Are you sure you want to do this though? I mean I love that you are being like this, I really do, but it does sound like he really likes you..."

"Oh no, Sally. Trust me, he does not like me at all. He's been extremely mean to me multiple times and if he liked me he wouldn't have done that!"

"Don't you think that you might, you know, fall in love with him if you're gonna make him fall for you? He's been with loads of girls without falling in love and you haven't. You may just be hurting yourself."

"No Sally! I have decided to make him feel like all these girls he's hurt and I know that I can do it! You said it yourself that it sounds like he likes me. If I can make him fall for me and then somehow hurt him he might lern the lesson and he won't do it again. Are you with me or not?" What the actual fuck am I doing? I can't do this! I like Harry.... NO I DON'T. From now on I don't.... I guess.

"Yes, yes of cource I'm with you if this is what you want."

"Good!" Not good!

...................

I get out of my car and walk up to the sport center. I should apologize to Tim.... But I am still kind of mad at him. He said that he thought I was smarter and that he feels sorry for me! Ugh... I guess that he just wants the best for me.
I walk up to the pool part of the sport center and "check in" and change into my working clothes. Today I have two hours at the pool and two and a half hours at the gym. Great.
When I've locked all my things in my locker I go to find Tim and that's not very hard but it is uncomfortable. He is in the mens changing rooms. I take a deep breath and walk in. As I walk through the room a few of the men in there throw some comments at me.

"Hey! No girls in here!" A fat man in his late fourties yells

"Go clean the other rooms!" Another one says

"I'm not comfotable with this!" Loosers.

"Oh don't be silly! I'm not looking!" I yell back at them and put a hand over my eyes to prove my point.

Tim must have heard the complains because he comes running out from the toilet and towards me.

"I'm so sorry guys! What are you doing?" He whispers the last part as he drags me out of the changing room.

"I came to apologize." He looks at me with confused eyes.

"And you couldn't wait for 10 minutes?!"

"Nope." He laughs a little. "I'm sorry for being rude earlier. I know that you are right about Harry I just didn't want to believe it." His eyes soften

"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to offend you and your boyfriend." What?

"Oh no! Harry's not my boyfriend at all. By the way. Do you know who Sally Andrews is?"

After agreeing on that both of us were wrong earlier I welcome Tim to my plan and I tell him about Harry and I. However I leave out the details. I feel torn right now. I like Harry I do and therefor I don't want to hurt him. I wish it could be easy and that we could just go on as it is now, but at the same time I've heard about the horrible things he's done to other girls and I don't want that to happen to me or anyone else again.

I'm gonna do this, I just hope that I won't regret it.
