Opposites Attract

Chapter 11 : Reality Stings

Ive been dating Harry for almost a week and a half now. Harry and I are honestly, well. Out of ten, a 7 1/2. Harry seems like he doesn't care for me then he did before. Probably just because we're together and I'm under his wing, he has to care less. Sometimes Harry just goes off without telling me anything.

Yes, we're still stuck on this island of hell, but it isn't as bad. I'm used to it now, the smell of the salt water and not eating as much. I guess you can say I lost a lot of weight. I'm not too skinny, and I'm not too fat. I have gained. At all. Unless when I was with Roy, but that's the past.

Harry is starting to go insane. I will too, he just complains that he can't do anything, he can't talk to his friends. Then why won't he talk to me? I'm his girlfriend for god sake.

I guess it is nice to be Harry's girlfriend for once, but in reality, it's not as amazing I thought it would be. I thought we'd be like the movies. Well, it's not. Is he using me?

To think of it, I'm not THAT pretty. I'd rate myself a 6. I just have blonde hair, light green eyes, I'm barely 5 feet and I'm not pretty. I don't wear makeup, I shop at Old Navy, but honestly I don't like Old Navy. At all. Ugh. I wish my life would be simple and I'd be better than I am now.

All Harry talks to me about is him complaining and telling me how much he loves me. I don't think that no more, he says I Love You so much, I don't think he actually means it.

••• Harry's POV •••

I was sitting under the tree with Carmen. It was a little windy, and her hair flew around her face. All we were practically doing is looking at each other and giving funny looks.

"Harry?" Carmen says in that innocent voice that makes my heart flutter. "Yeah?" I say. "Do you think we'll ever get off this island?" She asks, one eyebrow raised. I sit closer next to her and make her sit on my lap.

"Of course." I pause, stroking her hair, "Maybe now is not the time though." I state. I really wanna get off this island. The only reason I'm with Carmen, is so she doesn't have to be with that jerk Roy.

That little fuck face told me the wrong direction where Carmen was. I bet he even used her.

I like Carmen, I do. It's just, I'd rather date her when we're back home, when everything gets back to normal. I get to hang out with my friends again, I get to be the center of attention like I always was. But when I'm with Carmen, I could just feel it. We won't last long.

Okay, maybe I like Veronica just a little. It's cause her mum and my mum were childhood friends. We see each other constantly. Yeah it get's annoying, but the way Veronica is, is totally different than Carmen.

But Carmen's way down to Earth, she trusts me with all her heart. She wears no make up, to me is a turn on. But maybe just a little make up here and there, she'll be popular just like Veronica.

Then if I date Carmen in public, I'd look like a fool. Ugh, I don't know what to do. I need Gemma's advice.

I look down to see Carmen's face full of confusion. "What are you thinking about?" Carmen asks. "Oh, nothing. Just thinking of where to take you for our first date." I lie, but smirk. "You're do cheeky, yknow that?" Carmen puts her hand on my chest, and kisses my cheek. I roll my eyes in my head.
