Troublesome Love

Troublesome Love Chapter 3

For the first time in my life, I think I actually like a girl and not just to get in her pants.

*Harry’s P.O.V.*

Today was Wednesday and I’m kind of dreading it. Today I went to school and I actually paid attention. I found out a lot of stuff. Yesterday I had a headache all day but I didn’t care. I went all over town trying to find Y/N. Maybe “accidentally” run into her. But no luck. I even went to another town and try my luck. Nothing. Right now I’m history and this girl keeps flirting with me. But the only girl I would want to flirt with me is Y/N. I know I sound weak and I wouldn’t EVER tell anyone that. “Hey, could you quit? I’m not interested.” I said pushing her off my arm. “What? You were when we were at Nick’s house.” she whispered yelled at me.

“Oh. I met you at Nick’s party?” I said and she nodded. I’m guessing something happened there but I was completely wasted the whole time. “Okay, which girl are you?” I said unsure. She just scoffed and got up and went to a different seat. Apparently I just pissed her off and got her to leave me alone. But I actually don’t remember her and I was trying to find out. I’m kind of trying to stop treating girls like objects. I’m want Y/N to think I’m not all douche. God, why can’t Thursday get here faster? I can’t stop thinking about her. It’s weird. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the bell ring. Thank god this class is over. Off to math which is my easiest subject. And it’s the subject that Y/N helped me with the most so of course I’m going to remember it.

1 minute. 30 seconds. 10 seconds. Come on! Ring! Finally school is over. Damn this paying more attention to school shit is hard fucking work. I walked out of the school and turned the corner of the building in the direction of the group home. When I was walking on the side of the school I passed the library windows. I stopped dead in my tracks. The library! Why didn’t check at the public library?!?! She’s super smart so she probably likes to read. I might be wrong but all the people I know of that’s smart like to read. Well, I don’t really know them I just seen them around the school and get bullied.

This may be surprising to you but I actually don’t bully anyone. It’s not like I stop the bullying. I just don’t do it and don’t stop it. That’s worth something… right? Well I turned and started my way towards the public library. If someone asks why I was there I’ll just say I was getting some weed from Antonio. Antonio sells weed at the library so I’ll have an excuse to go there if she’s not there, too. It’s very odd place to sell weed and it’s also a weird place for cops to look for him. I was about halfway there when my phone started to ring. It was Louis so I went ahead and answered it. “Hello?” “Hey! Harry. I heard you went to school today! So, who is she?” he said laughing a bit.Shit. Did he know I went to impress Y/N? How did he even know about Y/N? I’m not that obvious, am I?

“What do you mean?” I said trying to play it off like I didn’t know what he was talking about. “Well, usually you only go to school to snog a girl. Did you not today?” he said a bit surprised. I sighed in relief. “Um… no I didn’t get that far. I kinda pissed off the girl so nothing happened.” I said thinking of the girl I pissed of earlier today. “My god, Harry. You’re loosing your game. You didn’t score any at Nick’s place, either.” he said laughing at how I’m not getting any. “Yeah yeah. Shut up, Lou.” I said laughing along with him. “Whatever. Are you headed back to the group home or what?” he asked probably wanting me to go to another party with him. “No, I’m headed to the Library right now.” I said turning another corner.

“Oh you wanting to catch Antonio there?” “Yeah. I’m running low.” I said talking about the weed he sells people. “Oh okay. Well I’ll see you later, then. Okay?” “Okay.” I said as I approached the public library. I hung up and I saw Antonio at the corner of the Library talking to someone suspiciously. I walked in the library quickly hoping he didn’t see me. The librarian looked at me frightened. I went up to her to ask her if she knows Y/N. “It’s okay. I just want to ask you something.” I said trying not to sound threatening. She wasn’t answering so I just went ahead asked her. “Do you know who Y/N is?” I asked walking closer to her desk. “Um… y-yeah.” she stuttered. “Oh. Good! Do you know if she’s here or not?” “U-uh. No I d-don’t. I-I just started m-my shift here.” she said stuttering again. “You’ll have to go look around for her.” she finished sounding a bit less frightened.

"Oh okay. Thanks.” I said as I walked away to find Y/N. I looked through about 10 aisles and still no luck. I got bored enough to actually start looking at some books. None of them really caught my eye. Not until I passed one book called “Troublesome Love”. Odd name for a book. I picked up the book and turned to the back. I read ,”Micheal, a big guy covered in tattoos and piercings with a troubled past, meets a nice, sweet, innocent girl. To which he finds the bad in her and she finds the good in him. They have an adventure that may or may not end well.” Dammit, now I want to read it. I put the book back and walked away as far away from it as I could.

‘Now, what kind of books would Y/N read?’ I thought to myself. I went to the Love and Romance section in which I was just in but walked away from it because of the book. I passed copies of the book and got too tempted and picked up the book. I read about 20 pages and so far I’m zoned out completely until I hear a nice, sweet, innocent voice from behind me.

“Harry?”

A/N: Did you see what I did there? If you didn’t then you are blind. What do you think?
