Alexa~

I groan as I hear my alarm go off. At least it's Friday. I get changed and head downstairs, "Hey mom? I found a shortcut to get to school so I'll take that path from now on." "Alright be careful sweetie!" I nod as I say goodbye to my parents and walk down the new path. I turn on my headphones and run down the path, I'm jumping and running around to Tøp down the empty path, until I crash into someone AGAIN. "Oh my god I'm so sorry! I did that yesterday with someone el..." I widen my eyes in shock, it's Harry. "You go this way Private? I've never seen you take this path before." He smirks and I groan and mumble, "Great." "Hey don't be mean already! We will be seeing each other everyday now won't we Private?" He replies back with a cheeky grin. I grit my teeth at the word Private. "Well I don't want to make you late to see your two friends...so bye!" He says and runs off. "At least this time he said bye, but he's still an asshole." I say to myself.

As I barely make it to school on time and still pissed off from the "incident", I bump into my favorite teacher in the hallway.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Mrs. Stevenson!"

"It's quite alright dear, you seem a little mad about something dear. Do you want to talk about it?"

I think for a moment, but decide against it, a grownup is the last person that I would want to get into this situation. "Oh it's ok! I'll be fine!" I fake smile. "Ok then, ask me anytime if you want to talk about something." I nod and rush to my first period.

During lunch I'm sitting with Oliver and Stacy when I get a ding! From my phone. My eyes widen with shock and anger.
Unknown number-
Hey private.

I type angrily onto the keyboard,
You- How the hell did you get my number Harry?

Unknown number- I know some people ;)

You- you are already making me feel uncomfortable...

Douche- Am I? I'm so sorry. *pouty lips*

I roll my eyes and slide my phone back in my backpack. Why is he trying to get so close to me all of a sudden? I shudder and remember all the bad and cringe worthy things I've heard about Harry. I decide not to think about it and go to my next class.

After school I am forced to take the shortcut, because I have a piano lesson after school, and I was already late getting out. I say to myself, "Maybe he isn't taking the path this time" as I haven't passed anyone yet. After a couple more minutes I see him and sigh, "Well shit now he has his friends with him." He has two friends walking with him, one with blond hair and piecing blue eyes, the other with brown hair and greenish-blue eyes. They both smiled sweetly passing by, while Harry smirked and bumped into me on purpose almost making me fall into a ditch. I scream and flinch and just before I hit the ground Harry grabbed onto my wrist, I climbed back up and was lifted up by his friends carefully. "Thank you guys, thanks...Harry." I run down the path and don't turn my head back.

I sit in my piano teacher's living room, not even thinking about piano. Did Harry actually want to save me? Was it natural instinct? Am I going insane? Knowing that it's Harry, its probably the 3rd one.

Hope it was ok? But thanks for reading! Don't forget to read the other chapters, comment, and rate. Thank you.xx
