The New Girl

Chapter 20 - Text

I'm not sure if I said this before, so here it goes: Aurora's private school is five stories high. Classes are all over the place, but they try to keep certain classes on certain floors.

Carry on! :)

-Aurora Jones' Point of View-

After I left Louis, I found an empty classroom for me to stay in for the rest of second and third period. I didn't feel like being verbally attacked by everyone again, so I'm thinking of just staying here until lunch. I'm actually considering going home as soon as lunch is over.

I sighed and looked out the window, hoping it would be nothing but clear skies so I can walk home. Unfortunately, I saw dark clouds begin to form. Just my luck. If I was going to walk home, I'll be getting soaked.

I haven't even been here a week and already things have gone back. They're right, I've done nothing but cause trouble for people around here. My first day here, Harry got in a fight because I was sticking my nose in someone else's business.

I looked at the sky to the window and sighed, "I miss you, mom." I whimpered, hugging my knees.

"I don't know how to put up with people like this. He would always help me through things like these, always... now I don't really have anyone to help me." I whispered, hoping my mother was listening to me.

I still have no idea what happened at the party. I don't remember anything after Luke and I... kissed, so I don't understand why everyone is being like this towards me.

The only people that would possibly remember are Luke and his friends, but I really don't want to see Luke right now. I'm still not over the fact that he tried to have sex with me while I was drunk. The only other person that knows what happened is Harry. I need to ask him what happened.

I quickly slipped out my phone and looked for Harry's number.

iMessage to Harry:
"What exactly happened yesterday at Luke's party?"

Not even a few minutes went by, before my phone vibrated in my hands.

I didn't expect Harry to respond so quickly, especially since he's probably in class. I hope I don't get him in trouble, I just have to know what happened.

iMessage from Harry:
"Why are you asking me this, all of a sudden?"

iMessage to Harry:
"Don't avoid the question, I just have to know what happened."

I wasn't in the mood for him acting stupid. He was there, he was sober, so he should be able to remember. All he has to do is tell me, that's all. He doesn't have to make things complicated.

iMessage from Harry:
"Easy, there. Fine, I'll talk."

I rolled my eyes.

iMessage to Harry:
"I'm waiting, Harry.."

iMessage from Harry:
"How are you texting me during school? I didn't think you were that much of a rebel."

I rolled my eyes for like the third time, I can practically picture him smirking at his own remark. Idiot.

iMessage to Harry:
"I'm not in class at the moment, so it's easier to text. Not the point, tell me now."

I was getting impatient and when I get impatient... let's just say I'm not the nicest person.

iMessage from Harry:
"Why aren't you in class?"

I groaned and threw my backpack on the floor and sighed, this boy is seriously getting on my nerves now.

iMessage to Harry:
"Harry! I'm getting impatient with you!!"

iMessage from Harry:
"Woah, Aurora, I didn't think you were the kind of girl that said that to guys. Kinda turns me on. ;)"

I rolled my eyes.

iMessage to Harry:
"That's gross, Harry. Don't ever say that again."

What an ass.

iMessage from Harry:
"Aw, you'll hurt my feelings if you say that to me. :("

That, I know for sure, was pure sarcasm. Why is he being like this with me all of a sudden? It's weird and completely different from how he usually is, I don't think I like it.

iMessage to Harry:
"You're an idiot, now tell me!"

iMessage from Harry:
"Fine. If I tell you what happened, but only if you tell me where you are after. Deal?"

I guess telling Harry where I was wouldn't be so bad. I just kinda climbed some stairs and walked into the most deserted-looking room I saw. I guess I don't really know where I am, I'll have to check the room number in a bit.

iMessage to Harry:
"I'll tell you, now tell me!"

******

After a full explanation of what happened yesterday from Harry, I finally understood why people were being so cruel to me. I had caused, yet, another fight that involved Harry, this explains everything.

No wonder that guy said that! In their eyes, I'm nothing but trouble. They think everything will go downhill, whenever I'm around.

I sighed, "Again, not even a week here-"

"And you've already made a lot of great friends." A new voice interrupted me.

I hadn't even notice the door open, let alone Harry standing in the doorway. I, of course, kept my promise and told him where I was. I didn't think he would come find me, but here he is.

"I should've just let you taken the day off, I had no idea they were going to treat you like this." He sighed, sitting down beside me.

I shook my head, "Neither of us could've known this, so don't feel bad. What you can do is give me a ride home, you up for it?" I smiled, hoping Harry would save me from getting home soaking wet.

I feel bad for leaving school early, but I don't think I'll be able to handle the horrible words and treatment I've been getting. Might as well just go home.

He chuckled, "Of course I'm up for it, but we'll have to make a stop first. Is that alright with you?" Harry asked, standing up.

I nodded and grabbed his hand, helping me stand up. "As long as you get me home, I don't care if your stop is Africa." I chuckled, before grabbing my things and following him out of the dark classroom.
