Chemistry

Chapter 3

A few days later, Kelly got back on track. She put everything together including herself and she skipped Harry out of her mind for as good as she could. She felt really blessed we only had Chemistry once a week.

Harry tracked down my phone number and I already knew he had it from Liam. Harry stalked me with a lot of text messages, if he could call or talk with Kelly. Liam texted me he was repeating to Harry he should leave Kelly alone for a while but Harry clearly doesn’t understand Liam at all.

I shut my mouth to Kelly. Harry was trying to get her number still wanting to say his apologies to her.

Kelly instead didn’t look forward to any class of Chemistry and I felt Harry hurt her pretty bad. Making fun of her notes turned Kelly down and she even thought of quitting it, because she knew she never would understand a thing of it.

I had to try my hardest to let Kelly stay in Chemistry class, knowing I needed her on the other side of the room. I knew I had to look at her sometimes and making sure she was good. We grew a lot closer because of the Harry thing and avoiding him was really easy.

When we had a lot of fun at school today, but all moods turned down, when we accidentally bumped into Harry, who was walking alone this time. Liam wasn’t around, he had to deal with a lot of crap because he failed in all the tests of all the subjects. All of his teachers let him stay after class to give him tutoring. Harry walked through the corridors like a zombie.

When he saw Kelly, Harry immediately rushed over to us and he started talking to soon and too fast. Kelly was turning to the toilets again as I pushed Harry in the corner of the corridor.

“Harry, I think it’s not the best time for talking to Kelly right now. You really turned her into a mess and she isn’t the coziest person right now. Can you please leave her?” I said

“But Naomi, I need to know if there is any way to make it up to her!” Harry begged me.

“Harry, please. You are the one who turned her into a complete mess. Does it even bother you? Can you imagine how she feels right now?” I snapped back at him.

Harry looked at me with the most sad look in his eyes. All the sparks I saw before were gone.

“It bothers me a lot. Every night I can’t sleep and when I sleep I do it over again in my dreams till I end up waking up and screaming at the top of my lungs. Liam isn’t very happy with me right now.” Harry said with a sad tone.

Like Kelly and me were sharing an apartment, also Liam and Harry shared one. I realized Liam and I were going through the same things and I knew Liam was the only one who fully understand me right now. I turned to Harry again and I looked in his face once again.

“Harry, if you give it some time maybe she will turn around and give you another chance but maybe not if you keep pushing her. I’m trying my best to talk with Kelly getting her to realize she have to give you a chance to explain it, but right now she is way too upset for a talk.” I said while I walked away from Harry leaving him with a scared face because I put some extra weight on the part where I said I don’t know she would turn around.

With me walking away, I felt Harry gripping my wrist.

“Please Naomi promise me you try your hardest to talk with her.” Harry begged my for the 1000th time in just 3 days.

I freed myself and walked to the toilets where Kelly was locking herself up in the toilets again. I heard the same cry as days before and I felt she was in lot of pain. I knocked at the only closed door again, getting the biggest déjà vu ever.

“Kel, c’mon open the door, it’s me” I said calmly when I heard the door unlock from the inside when Kelly came out again with those red, puffy eyes.

"I really wish I didn’t see him Naomi, I really wish…” Kelly started crying again.“I know sweetie, but I talked with him and I said he should leave you alone because otherwise I don’t know if you turn around.” I said.

Kelly started laughing out of nowhere, still on the toilet floor laughing.

“You scared him do you?” she asked

“Well….. Maybe…. A little bit…. Uh….. Yeah…” I started laughing, when I saw the scared face of Harry in my mind again. With that I got a text from Liam.

From: Liam

Naomi I just heard from Harry you scared the crap out of him by saying you don’t know Kelly would talk with him again? Why? I thought you wanted to help!!

I texted back:

To: Liam

Liam please don’t get mad. Can we meet somewhere to talk this through maybe?

With that I got a text back from Liam

From; Liam

Yeah of course, the coffee shop, 3 pm this afternoon!! And don’t tell anybody.

I texted back one last time:

To: Liam

Yeah of course, nobody would know.

Looking at Kelly again, I saw a little smirk on her face, while she was thinking about the fact I scared the crap out of Harry.

“Why are you smirking sweetie?” I asked her

“I like the fact you scared the crap out of Harry!!! It makes me feel so good to know he is scared now. I bet he is walking back and forth thinking about any way to make it up now. I love you for everything you do for me! You are my best friend!” Kelly started laughing again.

I felt good to see my best friend laughing again after all the pain she got from the curly one.

But I still wasn’t convinced she would forgive Harry anytime soon. I knew Liam and I still needed a lot of talking about any solutions to this problem.
