When Separate Worlds Collide // H.S au

Chapter 3

A/N: I swear this week went by so fast! Here's the new chapter, hope you like it! #Spilt nail polish is the worst -_- Lmao I don't even listen to 'My Chemical Romance', but these lyrics spoke to me! :)

"Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.

I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way."

*Harrys P.O.V*

*Summer of 8th Grade*

"But mum, I promised Ly I would spend this whole summer with her." I sighed.

"Well after dinner you can go talk to her. And you should of thought about that before the school year ended." She turned her back to me, and finished cutting up the onions.

I knew my mom was going to be mad about my grades, but not this mad. I mean a 70 isn't all that bad........is it? I'm just really bummed out I wont be spending this summer with Lyla. Shes sending me to some football camp, also known as soccer camp. She really wants me to go to this camp not to only better my skills in football, but they also are giving out free academic help. And you know how it goes from there..........

"Mum I'm going to go see her now. You know how much I hate breaking promises." I put on my converse.

"Okay that's fine, just be home before dinner. And tell Ly and Denise I said hello."

"After all that money I spent on a tutor, and he comes home with a 70 average?!? The nerve of that boy." I heard my mom mutter underneath her breath, while cutting more vegetables.

I took this as my cue to leave. I felt bad my mom wasted a good amount of money on a tutor......but the man was like 80. A bit of an exaggeration but he had wrinkles and had slight trouble walking. He would just give me a bunch of worksheets and shit. I think he forgot theres a thing called google and I have wifi.

I slowly ambled my way up to Lylas apartment door. I was kind of nervous to tell her I wouldn't be spending this summer with her. I knocked on her door.

I saw Ly with a bun of messy curls, poking her head through the door, while sticking her tongue out. I laughed.

"Well, well, well, would you look who it is." She smirked.

"You obviously need to lay off the sugar."

"I cant, its like my bed."

She led me into her apartment. "Its smells so good in here." I moaned while sniffing the air.

"That my friend is the smell of heaven. Mums making fried chicken and on her way home from work she picked up some french fries."

"This is the life." She added on while walking towards her room.

"I'll be in my lair. You know were to find me." She said in some posh voice.

I took my converse off, but not before loosening the laces. You know I love converse and all, but the constant tying and retying can be a bitch at times.

I entered Ly's room, but not after greeting her mother of course. I wasn't prepared for the sight in front of me.

Lyla sat on her bed painting her nails and blowing on them with a weird fish face.

"What the hell are you doing?" I laughed.

"I just finished painting my right hand, so now I'm blowing on it. What the hell does it look like?" She rolled her eyes.

"I need to talk to you."

"Well I'm here, and you're here, so whats stopping you?"

"Eh stop getting snarky with me. And I cant talk to you seriously while your doing that face, so quit it."

"Okay, okay. So whats up."

"IwontbeabletospendthissummerwithyouandImsorry."

"What?" She stared at me with wide eyes.

"I wont be able to spend this summer with you and I'm sorry." I cringed waiting to hear her response.

"What do you mean? You promised me you would be able to. If you told me before hand, I wouldn't be so pissed off now. Do you know that I already started making plans for us? It was going to be so much fun and-............wait." She stopped herself.

 I know it sounds cliché but its like I could tell her emotions based on her eyes. And at the moment she looked betrayed and disappointed.

"I knew it. I knew you would change before high school, just like everyone else. I shouldn't have put my guard down.......I'm so stupid. Sorry I should have seen it coming." She turned her back towards me.

"Lyla no. How many times do I have to assure you I'm not changing. You're my bestfriend and you know I hate breaking promises, I would never do that to you. My full intention was to spend this summer with you......but my mom enrolled me in some football camp. The program also will help me academically so you know, my mum jumped at the opportunity." I hugged her from behind.

"Harry are you sure? You might as well just tell me now if you don't wanna be friends anymore. It'll hurt less than, when I kick your ass." She smiled.

"Again, with your obsession of my ass. You can be a handle at times.........but I wouldn't wanna be friends with anyone else. Only you can take my corny jokes." I joked.

"And only you can take my lovely sarcasm." She winked.

She turned around and gave me a proper hug. In the midst of it all, somehow her bottle of nail polish tipped over.

She shrieked and ran into her bathroom. She came back with two bottles of nail polish remover and a bunch of paper towels.

I couldn't help but laugh at her, in her panicked state.

"Don't laugh, help me you piece of scrub." She threw me a bottle with some paper towels.

She frantically started dabbing at the spot on her comforter.

I threw out the left over paper towels and screw the lid on tightly to the polish.

"I promised mum I would be back home before dinner."

"We wouldn't want you to break another promise. I'll lead you out." She gave a toothy grin.

I chuckled and then waved her off. I bent down to put my converses on all over again. (A/N: The struggle is real.)

"I guess I'll see you after you come back from football camp right?"

"Yeah, have a goodnight and tell your mum I said bye."

We hugged again and then I departed from the apartment.

Lyla laid down on her couch and sighed thinking, what am I going to do this summer.

A/N: I'm sorry if the first few chapters have been boring :/ I need to go back in time to show the chemistry they had and how it affects them in the "present day." What are your thoughts on the story so far? Have you guys ever spilt nail polish? I definitely have and it wasn't pretty. Don't forget to comment, vote and share!
