Chapter fourteen

Our date went magically. He had set up a picnic by a lake which the light danced upon. The picnic dinner included chocolate covered strawberries and little sandwiches, to which he admitted his sister made for him. After talking and eating we decided to take a dip into the water and since I refused to go in my undies he lent me his top. Around midnight he drove me back home and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

Everything with Harry felt so right and in place and this weekend with him had been perfect unlike with Niall which felt picture-perfect.

"Hey, Scar." Mandy sighed stoking my arm, this felt like déjà vu back when Drew had cheated on me. Wow, was there something about me that just yelled 'cheat on me!'? "I heard about Niall. What a dick! And I never liked Becca." Sure you didn't, Mandy. You worshipped her because you hated her.

"I'm fine." I plastered the biggest smile possible, "it wasn't right between us anyways."

"I'm just glad you hadn't slept with him." She smirked looking over at the other girls before she did the loudest fake whisper I've ever heard, "You know, since she probably has STDs and gave them to, Niall." Everyone burst into giggles and I forced a few out however I felt the need to stick up for Becca. Sure she had made mistakes, but who hadn't? It's not like she's getting away with it scot free.

Harry and his friend, Teddy I think it was, got out of his car with him.

"I'll be right back." I breathed in walking as confidently as I could towards them, knowing how this would affect my reputation.

"Hi, Harry." I said awkwardly as all eyes were on us. "Hey, Teddy?"

"Hi, girl." She forced a fake Barbie smile before walking away.

"Please." He took my school bag and flung it around his shoulder.

"Want me to walk you to your locker?" Honestly I just wanted people to stop looking at us and clearly he felt the same way as he replied.

We walked into school and thank god Harry had a locker in a barley used corridor. I swear that the stoners had some link with the mafia because they always could get away with anything that if any other student did they would be expelled immediately.

Once he had left his bag in his locker he pressed me up against the locker and cupped my cheeks.

"Bet nobody saw this coming." I giggled cheekily pecking him on the lips.

"Not even myself." He smirked leaning down and planting a sweet kiss on my lips. "But I am so glad it did." He mumbled against me before deepening it.

"Come on we're going to be late." I laughed trying to pry him off me.

Once I had him off I began running down the hallway laughing hysterically, which thankfully was empty apart from Harry, nonetheless I never needed to hide any of my quirks with him. This quirk being that I laugh way too much and way too loudly; Becca had always said that I shouldn't work with kids because it will scare them, I didn't think it was that bad though and was just exaggerating like she always does.

As I reached another corridor, which wasn't empty, he wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up. The sea of crowd stared at us as if we were zoo animals until Jenny appeared out of the crowd.

"There you are!" Jenny exclaimed the minute her eyes landed on us. Harry kissed my cheek before disappearing into the crowd. "I knew you two would be adorable together!" she said in her know-it-all voice.

"Yeah." I reply trying to contain my smile. "What do people think of it?" I asked lowering my voice.

She bit her lip before looking around, "It's not ruining your rep that bad because people, well, think he's your rebound."

"He is not!" I gasped even though I could see why people would see that. But honestly, in my heart had broken up with Niall a long time ago.

Mindy, Emily and Sara walked passed us with a disapproving face; I expected it from the others but Emily?

"Emily!" I called after us however she wouldn't even look at me. Turning back to Jenny I asked, "Is she mad?"

"Probably doesn't get enough dick in her life." Jenny scoffed and I slapped her lightly on her arm.

"She's our friend." I shook my head before waiting outside.

As soon as everyone had gone into class I rang the school office.

"Hello?" I said in my most nastily voice once they picked up, "This is Emily Clubb's mother. She forgot her retainer in the car so can you send out here to get it?"

"Oh of course, love." She spoke overly cheerily, "just leave it in the office and I will be sure to pass it on."

"No, I must make sure she gets It." Before she can say anything else I cut back in, "My family donates a lot of money to this school, and do you really want to dwell on me with this."

She finally complies and Emily comes out of the school doors, once her eyes landed on me they rolled and began to walk back to class.

"Emily!" I ran up to her and grabbed her forearm, practically dragging her to sit on a bench with me.

"Oh now you talk to me?" she asked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked completely confused.

"I found out you were dating Harry from Mindy!" she shook her head, "everyone was asking me if it was real and I didn't know. I didn't know if my best friend was dating Harry Styles!" she stood up as her eyes began to tear up.

"Emily..." I stood up and wrapped my arms around her, "I didn't tell anyone because I don't even know what's happening. I am so sorry."

"It just sucks always being last to know." She sighed hugging back. "You coming to class?"

"Nah, I'll see you second period." I decided since I would get into more trouble for being late than if I came up with a good excuse as to why I wasn't there in the first place.

SCARLETT: YOU IN CLASS??

He replied almost immediately.

HARRY: YEP :( SUCKS TO BE ME. WHY ARE YOU NOT THERE?
SCARLETT: NOPE, I HAD TO TALK TO EMILY.
HARRY: I LOVE HOW IMPORTANT FRIENDSHIP IS TO YOU.

Friendship was important to me, and I needed to be the bigger person so I opened my texts and texting someone who I didn't think I would be talking to for a long time.

SCARLETT: HIYA, HOW ARE YOU?

After a few minutes I got a response.

BECCA: HEY. I'M ALRIGHT THANKS FOR ASKING :) HOW ARE YOU? I MISS US.
SCARLETT: ME TOO...

I wondered what would happen if she came back. We're already loosing popularity because of who I'm dating, what would people think when they find out that one of us were pregnant?
