The New Boy [ h.s. au ]

Ch. 17- Sneaking Out For A Date

I was working on homework in my room later that night when I heard my phone buzz. I look over to see a text from Harry. I actually don't remember giving him my number, but whatever.

Harry: im taking u out on a d8 @ midnight tonight b ready

Addy: okie dokie

" Addy, who are you texting?" Adam asks. I jump a little, not expecting him. I look at him. I swear he wasn't in my room a second ago.

" How'd you get in my room?" I ask.

" From the door you dummy." Adam says. I give him a warning look. He shrugs his shoulders. I shake my head.

" Addy, who are you texting? A friend? Or a boyfriend?" Adam says trying to wiggle his eyebrows.

" I'm texting none of your business." I say.

" Who is that?" Adam asks. I roll my eyes. I started to shoo him out of my room.

" But Addy! I want to know!" Adam says.

" Well you're not gonna know." I say. I close the door on his face. I walked back to my bed. I looked at my phone to see a new message.

Harry: dress pretty beautiful

I blush. Harry is so cute.

" Addison Anne Anderson! Get your butt down here!" Mum calls from downstairs. What does she want now? I place my phone on my bed and walked downstairs. I walk to the kitchen where mum was.

" What's wrong mum?" I ask.

" Aidan just told me you were talking to that boy that was here the other day again. Didn't I tell you not to talk to him or you will be grounded?" Mum says.

" Mum, you don't understand. We talked about schoolwork because he's my partner for a school project." I say.

" Well, that's not what Aidan told me. He told me you were hugging him and such." Mum says.

" He's lying. We were just talking about school." I say.

" Aidan, is she lying?" Mum calls. My mouth drops in shock.

" Are you kidding me mum? I'm more trustworthy than him! Heck, even Adam is more trustworthy than Aidan!" I say.

" With your attitude lately, I'm not so sure anymore." Mum says. I stood there offended. Okay, I'm not dealing with my mum anymore. I storm upstairs to my room.

" Hey, get back here! I'm not done punishing you Addy!" Mum calls.

" Well I am!" I call back. I slam my door shut. Why is my mum being so stupid? I angrily shake my head. I go over to my phone. I didn't get any text messages from anyone. Good. I went over to my door and locked it. Might as well start getting myself ready for my date.

I waited all night for this date. I didn't leave my room once.

I heard someone knock on my window. I go over and open it. Sitting on my roof was Harry, as expected.

" Hello beautiful. You look ravishing tonight." Harry says.

" Thank you Harry. We better get going before my mum finds out about this. I'm not on best terms with her right now." I say. Harry helps me onto my roof.

" How come?" Harry asks. He climbs off the roof. I follow him. We both safely reach the ground. Harry slipped his hand through mine and we started walking on the sidewalk.

" Apparently, my brother saw us talking at school and reported it to my mum. I lied and told her that we were talking about schoolwork and she still didn't believe me. She was probably gonna ground me but I stormed off to my room before she could continue to talk to me." I say. Harry smiles at me.
