The Unwanted Two

Chapter 5

I yet again sit under my tree at school with just me, myself, and I. Like always, I am listening to music. This time it was Adele. Some students go to class early while others stand with their friends and talk. I watch the leaves begin to fall. One by one, the leaves fall as if they gave up on trying to stay on the leaf.

"Hello." Someone says. It sounds like...Harry! I turned around and see his green eyes with a soft smile. I smiled back to him. "Hey Harry." Harry planted his butt next to me. I get a tingly feeling in my stomach. I pull my left earphone. "I had a very nice chat yesterday." He sounded quite nervous. He pushes his glasses back in place.

"Thank you by the way." He added. I looked at him confused. "For not being rude like the other people at this school. You were actually nice enough to talk to me." He said more nervous. I smiled at him "Thank you too then. No one really talks to me and just so mean to me. But I really did like the chat we had." I responded.

Harry is a nice kid. I don't know how someone could be mean. He is nice and cute.

There was an awkward silence until Harry said,"So is this were you always sit?" I nodded. "Pretty much." He stared off at the leaves. "Its lovely here." He watched. I literally love his accent. "A great view of nature." He added, I nodded in agreement.

"So what you listening to?" He pointed to my earphones. I blushed because he was looking at me with his beautiful eyes.  "It was Adele but now it's John Mayer, Free Falling." I said and Harry gasped. "Oh my gosh! I love that song. That's is my all time favorite." He said, he got all hyped up about it. I smile and giggle at how geeky he got. But it was a cute geeky.

"What? It is!" He exclaim. He pushed his glasses in and I realized he had a lot of bracelets on one arm. I let the curious over come me and I said, "That's a lot of bracelets." He became quite nervous as if he was hiding something.

"Uh.. Y-Yeah." He said nervous. I looked at him and it seemed as if he wanted to vanish.  "I like the brown with blue one." I said and Harry became red on his checks. "Thank you Erika." He said. The way my name came out with his accent was to die for. Butterflies were in my stomach.

"You know what." He said starting to take off the bracelet I mentioned. I just watched him. "You can have it." He said reaching for my arm.

I begin to get nervous. If Harry notices it, he might not want to be my friend anymore. I check but from my point of view I can't see anything.

He examines my arm but then he begins to ties the bracelet around my wrist. I am some what happy he didn't notice.

"There. It goes good with your skin tone." He said smiley. "Thank you Harry" I thanked and he smiled and said,"No problem love." I get a bit taken back when he says love. I believe he noticed how I reacted because he said,"Sorry, it's just that where I am from we call everyone that. It's just like a thing everyone says to everybody." He explained. "No it's ok. I understand." I said, I honestly didn't mind. I quite loved it. "Ok" he said.

"Erika. May I ask you two things?" He asked. I nodded to him. "Can I-I have your n-number?" He asked nervously. I smiled at how nervous he was. I nodded and we exchanged number. "What's they second question Harry?" I asked. He begin to look down.

He lifted his head and looked in my eyes. "Why do you..." He raised his arm and moved his finger down his wrist. I know what kind of gesture he made. Me cutting.

Shit! He knows. "Did you... Did you see it." I said with my head down. My voice kind of cracked. "Yeah." He whispered, I bit my lip. I was fighting the tears I had in my eyes. He put two fingers under my chin and lifted my head.

He seen my tears form up. "No. Don't cry love. It's okay." He said. He grabbed my hands into his. My hand fits perfectly in his. "If I tell you everything, you will leave me like everybody else." I said.

"Look at me Erika." He said. "I won't leave you." He lets go of my hands and rolled up his sleeve. I just watch him and my eyes grows big at his artwork.

"I do it too." His green eyes start to water.
