Troubled

Chapter 15: Flip a coin

Jacks POV

"RACE YA" I laughed at how fast Harri was running to get out the door and quickly followed after her down the long corridor. Sprinting to catch up with her she was slowing down and soon came to a stop and as I ran past her I scooped her up into a fire mans lift "ahhhh Jack put me down!" She squirmed trying to get out of my grasp. I let out a deep laugh "does this mean I win?" Her grip on me tightened. "Yes okay, you win please don't drop me!" She said with a hint of worry evident in her voice. I put her down and looked at her then whispered "I would never drop the girl who put me in a shopping trolley." I smirked at her shocked expression "I'm surprised you remember that" she laughed. "Of course I remember, you know what also remember. you forgetting my birthday present." I chucked her shocked expression  had changed into a guilty one and i was finding it hard to not laugh in her face "I'm so sorry jack I forgot that I was supposed to make it up to you today." She was being too adorable for her own good and I may have to kiss her again soon I'm just not sure if she wants that yet I mean we're close but I don't want to seem to eager I am Jack Anderson after all.

I sung my arm around her shoulders and began walking towards the dining hall for breakfast "you can make it up to me later I'm starving!" She looked up at me and smiled I returned it then I felt my stomach rumble and my nose got filled the salty smell of bacon and I knew what I was getting for breakfast. Instead of letting Harri sit on her own I made her sit with me and Finley and told her to wait there while I got her food after much debate she finally sat down across from Finley as I got the delicious bacon sandwich that were calling my name. I was half tempted to grab one and eat it o the way back to the table but I resisted and sat next to harri opposite Finley.

As I was tucking into my sandwich I couldn't help but wonder what my birthday present off Harri was going to be. Finley had brought me some beats headphones, I know he's an amazing friend for spending that money on me. Caleb had brought me a new duvet , I know it sounds very practical. Unfortunately this is Caleb I'm talking about so therefore there had to be something wrong with it, which was it had peppa pig on it , so my birthday present was a joke. hopefully Harri's present wasn't going to be that bad and can be taken seriously. Shall I ask her what it is "so not to be rude but what will be my 'late' birthday present be?" I looked at her for a answer when Finley cut in "you do realise by saying 'not to be rude' doesn't make it not rude." To be fair he was right "you know what else is rude butting in someone's conversation." that's it it's the end of the argument until Finley said "how can it just be your conversation I'm sitting in the middle of it."OMG is he for real "technically you are sitting opposite us so therefore you are not in the middle of it!" I'm absolutely raging now. I'm seriously considering hitting him. "Just shut up now! if I wanted to hear people bickering I would just stay with Violet and Faye."Harri literally screamed in my hear. Thank goodness for her stopping this because this sandwich would be all over his New Vans Tshirt. We both muttered 'sorry' at the same time. "Thank god for that now for your birthday I could take you bowling or ice skating."Harri said this in the calmest voice ever consisting she had just screaming at us. Anyway this is a very hard dissuasion to make I love bowling I'm amazing at it. On the other hand the last time I went ice skating was when I was five so it would be nice to go again."I don't know they both sound great things to do. What would you like to do?" I feel bad for not giving her a straight answer. She answered with "it's your birthday present you have to pick."
Me:"now your the lady therefore you should."
Harri:"it's your birthday"
Me: "yeah but I can't decide"
Harri:"neither can I"
Finley:" I'll just flip a coin"
Finley reached into his pocket and got out a pound coin. "Heads, ice skating. Tails, bowling."
