Chapter 6

*Alice*

After forcing down another stupid energy drink, I grab my things and make my way to school.

"Alice!" Harry rushes over to me. I'm wearing his grey jacket he gave me, dark faded skinny jeans, and my black high top sneakers. My hair is in a pony tail, and of course, I'm wearing my stupid glasses.

"Hey." I say.

"I wanted to ask you something." He says, looking down.

"What is it?" I start to get nervous.

"I was um...wondering....if you know...you might want to..go to the dance with me tomorrow?"

"The Sadie Hawkins dance?"

"Yeah."

"You want to go with me??"

"Yes." I bite my lip, and chew on it gently.

"Um..."

"You don't want to go?" Harry looks hurt.

"No I do! I just um....yes. I'll go with you." His face lightens up.

"Really?" I smile.

"Yes."

"Great! Then can I pick you up at around, six?"

"Yeah that works."

"Great, then I'll see you there." He winks and walks off. What a flirt.

"Hey Alice!" Zayn calls me over. I sigh and turn to face him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you gonna meet Holly and I at the dance with your date?"

"Um...yeah...sure. He's picking me up at around six. So we should be there at about...quarter after. I don't live far from the school." Zayn looks shocked that I have a date. I smile, almost a smirk.

"Ok, well, then...I guess we'll see you there."

"Yup."

"Bye."

"Bye."

He walks off, and I sigh. Holly. Again. She's the captain cheerleader, and she's the most popular girl here. And Zayn's the most popular boy. So why would he suddenly say he wanted to go with me instead? I'm NOT popular.

The whole day goes by awful. It's a drag, and is boring. Finally, it ends, and I sprint out the door.

"Alice, wait!" I freeze and turn to see Niall and Liam rushing over. I sigh and wait for them.

"Where have you been?!" Liam says.

"My classes." I say flatly.

"Why are you hanging out with creepitoid?" I clench my fists.

"That 'CREEPITOID' is my date to the dance tomorrow!" Liam and Niall's eyes widen.

"What?!" Niall cries.

"Yeah. So deal with it and leave me alone." I spin around on my high tops and stomp off.

"I thought you wouldn't want to go with me because of how I look and all." Harry says as we walk. He offered to walk me home again, and I said yes.

"I don't judge people that way." But I have to admit that I may be slightly lying, because when I didn't know Harry that well, I judged him. I thought he was creepy because he had blue skin. But I'm not racist. I won't be.
