the charm game [h.s]

[ H A R R Y ]

Niall, Liam, Louis, Zayn and I are all sitting around our usual table in the school yard. It's a nice sunny day today - which is odd for Holmes Chapel.

"Fuck off mate, you totally got laid on the weekend!" Zayn teases Niall. Niall laughs loudly and throws his hands up, smirking.

"I'm not going to lie, it was a nice piece of ass!" Niall exclaims. We all laugh and Niall high fives Zayn. I shake my head and lean back with my arms behind my head. It's the first day back at school since break and I'm already over it.

School isn't the worst thing in the world, I mean I'm not complaining that every girl here wants into my pants and that my friends and I are the most popular people here - but I mean the work, I just couldn't be fucked. I groan loudly.

I hear two girls giggling and I know its Sophia and Eleanor. I open my eyes and they are greeting Liam and Louis with a kiss. Sophia is dating Liam and Eleanor, Louis. I roll my eyes and lean my head on the table. I hate relationships, they are so meaningless. Love is completely over-rated.

I feel someone tap my shoulder, and by the smell of their sickly perfume - I know exactly who it is - Stella Hall.

"Hey sexy, thanks for the great weekend!" She whispers in my ear. I want to cringe but I refrain so I don't look rude. I turn and give her a small smile. I can sense my friends all staring at me which makes me uncomfortable. They all know I don't like Stella.

I shift in my seat and Stella sits down next to me. She's wearing a really short mini skirt and a crop top which I can see her highlighter pink bra through. She can dress like such a whore. I smirk at my thoughts. 

It's not that I don't like Stella, I mean she is sort of pretty and she's a great shag but that's all she is to me. I usually screw her when I've had too much to drink at a party and she's dancing all over me. But she thinks because we have sex occasionally that I'm her boyfriend, which is stupid because I don't date anyone. It's my number one rule.

"Want to hook up in the bathroom later, baby?" She purrs trying to kiss my neck. I shift my head subtly and stand up.

"Sorry, can't right now, bells going to go." I say quickly. She pouts and stands, walking away to join her friends. She turns mid-way there and blows me a kiss, ugh I want to throw up. I can see Liam smirking at me and I feel like punching him in the face. I mouth him a 'fuck you' and he laughs and turns away.

"Whoa guys look at this!" Niall exclaims and we all turn our heads in the direction he is looking. A flashy white Audi pulls into the school carpark and I squint to try see who's driving it. I've never seen that car before. I turn my gaze to Louis who gives me an impressed face. I look around at everyone else and the car seems to have caught their attention too.

"That's a nice fucking car aye!" Zayn mutters in appreciation.

"Who owns it?" I ask curiously. He turns and shrugs at me.

"I wouldn't have a clue man, they must be new!" I nod and continue to watch the car closely. A few moments later the door opens - out steps a relatively tall, long-haired brunette dressed in a white shirt and black jeans with a flannel throw over wrapped around her waist. She closes the car door and slings her leather bag over her shoulder. I catch a small glimpse of her face before she puts her sunglasses on.

"She looks pretty!" Sophia whispers to Eleanor, who nods in agreement. Pretty - yes she does look pretty. Hot more like it. I sit up straighter and continue to stare.

The mystery girl walks up the path to the front office - oblivious to the fact that everyone is watching her and disappears into the building. I let out a loud exhale, I hadn't realised I was holding my breath. Everyone around us seems to go back to what they were doing.
