The New Girl

Chapter 22 - An afternoon at the park.

-Aurora's Point of View-

"So where are we stopping by today, Mr. Styles?" I asked, placing my feet on the dash.

As cheerful as I sounded, I was still a bit hurt about what happened today at school. I was only trying to seem like it didn't because I didn't want Harry to treat me like a child. I've dealt with bullying before and I can take care of myself.

He rolled his eyes, "Get your feet off of there, don't you know how expensive this is?"

As annoyed and angry he sounded, I knew he was only joking. With all these weird incidents that Harry and I have been going through, it's brought us closer than we expected to be. We still don't talk to each other about our "deepest and darkest secrets," but we get along... if you call arguing and insulting each other getting along.

I slipped my shoes off and placed my feet back onto the dash, "Happy?"

"No, now it smells like feet." He growled.

After a ten minute ride of arguing about whether or not my feet smell, I noticed Harry had stopped his car right in front of his house.

"I thought we were making a quick stop somewhere?" I asked, a bit confused.

He smirked, before jumping out of his car and jogging inside his home.

I wasn't sure what he was up to, but he seemed happy... excited, even, to go inside. It was actually the sweetest thing I've ever seen and this is Harry 'grouchy' Styles were talking about.

The moment I saw Harry walk outside, holding a leash in is hand, and Tramp walking in front of him. I knew we were going to a park. I don't understand why we were going to a park if it was going to rain, but I didn't question it.

*******

"I figured we'd come here." I chuckled, as we walked up a rather large hill.

He cocked a brow, "Did Tramp give it away?"

I shrugged and looked around. Since it was still mid-day, not many people were at the park. A few old folks and moms with strollers would pass by, every now and then, but that was pretty much it.

When we made it to the top of the hill, Harry sat on the grass and laid back. I cocked a brow and stared at him, "What are you doing?"

He chuckled as Tramp sat beside him, "You looked like you could use a break, so I brought you here. Tramp and I like to come here to, you know, relax and forget our responsibilities."

I sat beside him and smiled, "This is actually quite relaxing." I smiled, laying my head on his lap.

I know I probably shouldn't be using Harry as a pillow, but it just felt like the better option. Especially since he's trying so hard to cheer me up. Being this close to Harry comforted me and that's all I needed right now, someone to comfort me.

"You know, sometimes I feel like coming to New York was a mistake." I whispered.

Tramp laid his head on my stomach and sighed.

"You just moved here a week ago, why would you think that when you've only been here for a short amount of time?" Harry asked.

I rolled my eyes, "That's exactly it, Harry. I've been here a week and already all this madness has happened." I shrugged, "I don't know. I've caused so much trouble for you and I just feel like things wouldn't be so... so like this, if I hadn't come to this school in the first place."

Ever since I moved to this school, things have been changing for the people around me. Sabrina is constantly telling me how Harry isn't acting like himself anymore, Gossip Central (the website Niall mentioned's name), has been blowing up with things about me, and I just don't feel like I should be here anymore.
