Dedicated to @VasHappeningPotat03 because she told me somthing the other day. So yeah, ENJOY READING :)

Claire’s POV

I’m late for school, I need to hurry. Late night talking with Harry over the phone has been a habit of mine when I have school or we don’t have the time to meet up with each other. I for one never regret every night we chat, knowing I have school next day and he kept scolding me to do my homework, which I follow for he is like the big brother I never had.  

But then again, the teacher is also gonna be late, like she is always, so no more worries as I slowed down my pace. I entered the room where Jen had spotted me and came towards me. It has been a long time since we last talked and we both know that she is a much better person than being under Megan’s control. I had missed the crazy girl that she really is.

“Hey,” She whispered as she dragged me out of the classroom and into the corridor as I shot her a look, a warm smile on my lips but not reaching my eyes which were filled with questions. She took in a good fifteen seconds to examine me like she hasn’t seen me in forever as I gave her the same questioning look on my face. We both stood there in silence and she began muttering some words to herself that I didn’t even know what they meant.

“You’re the girl with Harry Styles,”

I took in a few seconds to process the words that came out of her mouth and asked myself, what was she talking about? I thought this more thoroughly and my eyes began widening by the second.

I stood in utter shock, like the words just came out of her mouth again. I gulped a big lump in my throat as sweat trickled down my face in a meltdown.

Oh no, this is bad.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered,” She winked; an assuring tone filled me as she spoke again, which made me form new and more quizzical question. “What do you mean?” Do you know my secret? I added in my mind. The lump in my throat growing larger which restrained me from speaking.

I stood before her, my back resting against the wall and I could just slide down in a meltdown, just awaiting for her answer. “Louis never told you and Harry?” I never understood every word that came out of her which made me grew more curious.

“Look, I will be the only one who will know about you two and Louis has probably informed the paparazzi by now to keep you and Harry private,” She ended with a smile playing on her lips as she muttered ‘you’re welcome’ and her smile grew even wider as I finally caught up with what she was saying.

“How did Lou talk to you?” I asked, the wide grin on my face never disappeared. “I was the one who gave them your room number. Sorry about that,” Her ‘sorry’ never sounded that sorry, knowing I didn’t mind one bit. “I should be thanking you,” I smiled a genuine smile as another question was forming on my mouth.

“But how did you know that I didn’t like being broadcasted?”

“I didn’t,” She started and I raised my brow in question which leads her to continue. “I just didn’t want Megan’s ego being crushed and you know how big her ego is, right? I don’t want her pulling her hair out at the thought of her so-called ‘husband’ being with a girl like you, when he can have her instead. I know she can be a pain, but she is my friend and I care for her,” Her voice sounded light and warm at the thought that she’s so such big of a deal for her friend. She was that special to her and I knew it well enough. Megan doesn’t know what she’s got.

In a matter of seconds, I wrapped my arms her in a bear hug. “Thank you so much, Jen,” I say in her ear as I was buried in her golden blonde hair and she finally caught up with me and hugged me right back. I’m seriously happy inside, which words can’t fully explain with coherence. I can’t believe she went through all that trouble not only for me but also for her best friend who never actually noticed her probably the same way and I’m all blessed to have met someone like her. I love her. I really do.
