Just Curious

Chapter 7

*Samantha's POV*

I finally got out of the place where I was changing and saw Harrison sitting. I walked up to him and saw he was in deep thought.

"Hey, Harrison." I said while slightly tapping him in the shoulder.

He turned his head in my direction.

"Oh, well isn't it the girl who forgot her clothes and towel," he joked. Or should I say attempted to.

"Was that what you were thinking about in that serious trance of yours?" I joked.

Harrison's face grew serious. He didn't respond for a few moments until he replied, "Something similar but a bit more extreme to what happened to you."

I smiled.

"It must have been very awkward for you to have experienced it then."

"Yeah, I guess you could call it awkward in a sense."

He just kept staring off into space. He then turned back to me again and said, "But thank you for coming in at the right time. I didn't want to finish my memory."

I smiled as he stood up and gave me a quick smile showing off a dimple. I knew nothing about his dream or whatever but I decided not to ask anymore about it. He seemed like he didn't like it but now he's happy. He's like a girl with emotions. I'm not saying that's bad or anything but it kind of makes me curious about him.

Just then, the nurse came in and handed us nurse slips and a pass to our next class.

"Well young kids," the lady said. "You better get to your next class seeing as you're all cleaned up. Have a nice day!"

I smiled and thanked her after receiving the papers she held and started to exit the room and headed towards my biology class.

Noticing I was walking by myself, I stopped and turned to notice Harrison leaving the Nurse's office just now. I waited for him until he came up to me.

"Hey, thanks for waiting for me." He said.

"No problem. I kind of figured out that since we had the same core classes as each other and it's your first year here, you could probably use a good tour guide."

He laughed.

"See, I have all these friends and they don't know a thing about this school and their schedule yet they aren't the newbies!"

"How do you even know them?" I asked him.

"Well," he began. "It's kind of a long story."

"I got time." I say.

Harrison begins talking to me about how he met some of them a few years ago at another school and others through gaming.

He told me about how he wasn't much of a gamer but only liked games with good graphics, music, and a good plot or storyline that makes him think.

"So you're a bit of an intellectual thinker," I said.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." He chuckled.

We continued talking about whatever topics we could like how the school looks so cool but is a terrible one and how one day all of the cliques here would combine into one.

We were soon laughing about Valerie.

"There was no way she could've done that!" I exclaimed.

"Well, you better believe it! It was so embarrassing that I even felt embarrassed- and I was the one on the ground laughing!"

I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't wait to make fun of Valerie for this. I stopped laughing when I heard something.

Hearing fast steps behind me, I turn my head around and see Anthony right behind me.

I screamed at the sight of him.

"I see I made you scared," Anthony smirked.

"No, I just shrieked in horror of seeing your ugly face," I replied back.

"That's okay. I don't need to make impressions that I'm a godly built man on the first day of school."

I scoffed at the words "godly" and "man."

He continued saying, "It still made me a new friend. Isn't that right Harry-boy?"

Harrison was looking at us the whole time but finally decided to speak up at the mention of his new nickname.

"Just because I'm white and have glasses and brown hair does not make me Harry Potter." He joked.

"Well your name is Harrison and it sounds like Harry so Harry it is. Now let's go to the cafeteria," Anthony said.

"Wait," I began. "Aren't we supposed to be going to biology?"

"Well yeah but class is about to be over anyways so we can get early seats at the cafeteria."

I shrugged and decided to follow him to the direction of the cafeteria. I turned to see Harrison walking in the other direction.

"Hey Harrison, don't you want to come with us?" I asked.

"Nah," he said. "I don't want to make bad impressions on the first day by skipping a class without a good excuse."

"But you don't know where the class is," Anthony said.

"I'll figure my way out."

With that, Harrison gave us a small wave and continued to walk away.

Anthony and I walked the other direction and made a lot of inappropriate jokes with me cringing in disgust but still replying in something totally gross. It felt good talking to him again, almost forgetting about all the bad things he's done. It felt nice just talking to an old friend. One that you used to share secrets with all the time.

Can I just go back to a time where I just thought of boys as friends?

I'M BACK EVERYONE!!!

It feels good writing again. I'm not going to give any excuses as to why I didn't post because they are excuses no matter what. But I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. You never found out about the flashback of Harrison's so you could just try and guess what happened until you find out.

Question is- What exactly happened between Samantha and Anthony?

Hope you all have a nice day!
