My life was finally getting better. I was fitting in at my new school, I had a great little job in a cute bookstore and My New Friends accepted me. How could that all go possibly wrong??
It was Tuesday. The Weather was dull and plain. The Bookstore was happy to have me since they had been looking for help for 3 months. I got up quite early and made toast once i was ready. Once i was dressed in my crappy uniform i made my way to school. I got there a tiny bit earlier than yesterday. Ok tomorrow i will definitely have to go throw the woods. The bell rung and everybody flooded inside. I met Cameo at the front door. He was sleepily waving his hand at me.
"Morning Harper, Oohh before i forget, we're having a BBQ on Friday at Heathers House. It's just our crowd, so you will get to know everyone a bit better. You in?" He stopped at the end of the stairs for my answer. Should i go? I mean... i need to get to know them.
"Yeah, why not" i gave him a quick smile and headed to registration. Great my first Party/BBQ. Maybe the future isn't so dull after all. Ok Harper, it's just a BBQ no need to panic. Wait... what will i wear?? Do i need to bring food?? Wait why I'm I so worried?? I walked into registration still arguing with myself. I signed in and the bell rang. I headed to art alone.
**LUNCH**
"Hey Harper, come sit here" Heather's voice climbed over everybody else's. This made the whole cafeteria stare. Heather was friendly; she loved Muse and slipknot music and had pricings galore. She was really small. Black hair and had an Edward scissor-hands tattoo. (And i thought i was obsessed). I sat down at the circular table.
"Ok, Friday's BBQ has no theme or any crap like that. My Dad's on a fishing trip, so my mum will have friends over which means we get the back garden. Today after school i will set up the tent so we have a place to sit." She blabbed on to Robert about food. I pulled out my lunch and started munching. I couldn't be bothered with lunch, I wonder if the tickets for muse are up yet. Kate interrupted my daydream.
"Holy-shit! Who is he??" Kate, who had been looking for riley, was gawking at something behind me. I turned around to find what she w..Ok, i found him. Who couldn't?? At the door, Riley was standing next to a 6 foot, brown haired, buff angel. I had never seen him here before. It looked like everybody hadn't seen him before. The room's loud talk fell into whispers. Riley began walking over to our table. Shit!! I quickly turned round and watched as Kate and heather done the same.
"Hey Guys, This is Alexander, I'm just showing him round the school and stuff and he wanted to meet you." I turned around to see his face. He quickly looked away from me.
"Hi, I'm Harper, This is Kate, Heather, Cameo and Robert" my voice started to crackle. I gave him a quick smile and turned back around. His face looked disgusted. Was it me? I had a horrible pain in-side when he did this, almost like rejection. What have i done to him? The room quickly began conversation again. Riley and Alex sat and talked. I took out my English workbook and wrote more notes on Romeo and Juliet. (My favourite book that i have read sooo many times) as i began writing i had that feeling. The feeling that you get when somebody is staring at you and will not stop. I looked up from my book and Alex's eyes moved away from my gaze. Great!! Another Perv!!!But this one was an angry perv. I Huffed and began again. Alex's eyes burned through me and he knew it. Every time he would stare i would quickly look up and meet his gaze. The bell finally rang before i could ask him his problem. He stalked out the room. What was his problem? I felt like i was going to cry after the way he looked at me. His eyes were full of hatred and sadness. After that, his stares were always filled of you-killed-my-bunny kind of stares. I mean what have i done to him? He was avoiding me at all cost. It was like i never existed in Alex's world. The feeling of rejection and sadness was starting to bug me.
