The New Girl

Chapter 23 - Two boys but no fight?

-Aurora Jones' Point of View-

By now, I was full on sobbing. Not even a week here and my whole reputation is ruined thanks to rumors that aren't even true. I knew going to a new school, my senior year, was going to be difficult, but I didn't think it was going to be this horrible.

Harry pulled me closer to him, "Aurora, don't-

I stretched my arms out, "Don't what, Harry?! Don't freak out?! Don't allow them to get to me?! Don't listen to the rumors?! Don't what?!" I shouted, pushing him off of me.

"Aurora, you're upset. I get that-"

I shook my head and cut him off once more, "No, Harry, you don't. You have no idea how horrible this makes me feel. Everyone thinks I slept with you and Luke! How the fuck am I suppose to ignore this when this is a big deal?!" I snapped.

"You forget that I go through this everyday! Aurora, I'm just trying to-"

"Well, don't! You don't have to do anything, Harry! I appreciate everything you've done, but I... I just think I shouldn't see you... for-for a while.

By now, it had already started drizzling and I knew I shouldn't be driven home by Harry. Especially when my anger is all over the place. I shouldn't even be getting mad at him, but I just... I don't know what to do.

"At least let me take you home!" He growled.

I shook my head, "No. Goodbye, Harry. Please, just don't talk to me for a while. I want to be alone." I sighed, before walking away from him and began walking towards home.

-Harry Styles' Point of View-

After dropping Tramp off at home, I drove towards the school and began searching for a specific asshole that is probably the fault of all of this.

I cannot believe he would stoop so low. This is lower than anything he's ever done and, trust me, he's done a lot.

I looked around and noticed Calum Hood, one of Luke's friends, standing beside another one of Luke's friends, Michael Clifford. "You two! Where the fuck is Luke?!" I shouted, walking towards the two.

He placed a hand on my chest, holding me back. "Easy there, Styles." Michael snapped.

I rolled my eyes, "Fuck off and tell me where that prick is, now!" I shouted, slamming my fists against a nearby locker.

The bell had just rung about ten minutes ago and I'm positive everyone walking by was watching the scene I was causing, but I could care less. These assholes caused Aurora so much trouble and I'm not going to let them get away with it.

Calum shoved me back, making my anger grow. Unfortunately, I couldn't cause another fight... at least not with Calum. I wasn't after him right now, I'm looking for Luke.

"Don't fucking shove me, just fucking tell me!" I snapped.

"You guys have seriously got to stop saying those things. Jones didn't sleep with me, I swear! We both got drunk and got a little carried away, but we didn't do anything more than just kiss." I heard Luke's familiar voice.

I turned around and noticed the door to a classroom was open. I ignored the fact that Michael was struggling to hold Calum back and followed Luke's voice.

"But it says on Gossip Central-"

I watched Luke run a hand through his hair, "Listen to me, Maddison. I get that you're jealous of me and her, but I really care for her. I know you didn't hear it from Gossip Central, Calum said you went, uninvited. Please, just tell your friends to stop. Jones won't answer my calls or text, I'm really worried about her."

Luke was talking to a blonde-haired girl, probably one of his ex-groupies. She looked angry, yet guilty. She must be the one that caused this mayhem... not Luke.

"So you're the bitch that tipped off Gossip Central, huh?" I growled.

Now that I know Luke wasn't the one that did this to Aurora, I can't exactly do anything to him.

"Maddison, can you give us a minute?" Luke whispered.

She stayed silent and made her way outside, my glare following her every move. It's not like I could hit a girl, I'd never do anything like that. I'm still pissed off at the fact she's the reason Aurora is hurting right now... and the reason why she won't let me comfort or talk to her.

"I know you're angry, but I didn't tell anyone about what happened. I know I said some things to you yesterday, but I was drunk. I didn't mean to go that far with Aurora. I crossed the line-"

"You bet your ass you did!" I snapped, "Do you know how scared she was?! She's so confused right now because she doesn't know what happened and now I can't even do anything to help her.." I sighed, looking away from the blue eyes I've come to hate so much.

Never once did I think I'd be standing in the same room as Luke and not punching the shit out of him. He was just so aggravating all the time, especially when he started getting a little too close to Aurora.

Luke cocked a brow, "What do you mean?"

I sighed, "Gossip Central assume that Aurora and I had... uh-intimate actions with each other, so she thought it'd be better if she doesn't speak to me for a while."

Luke sighed, "I'm sorry, man, I didn't think this would get you and Jones fighting. Look, would you mind coming with me to apologize for all this? I want to make things right between her and I, but I also want to clear things up between you two."

I wasn't sure why he was bold enough to invite me, especially after what happened yesterday and on Sunday, but I couldn't just allow Luke to go see Aurora alone. I'll just tell her exactly that, I'll tell her I'm looking out for her.

I was still a bit... uncertain about helping Luke. Helping Luke would mean a chance of Aurora speaking to me again, which was good, but it would also mean there was a possibility of her giving Luke a second chance. For some reason... I can't allow that to happen, especially when I can't get that kiss out of my head.

"Look, she wants to be alone right now. But we can go tomorrow. I highly doubt she'll attend school after what had happened, so we can go say around lunch?" I asked.

He nodded, "That sounds great, I'll meet you at your car tomorrow. Thanks, Harry." Luke smiled, sticking his hand out for me to shake.

I just nodded and walked away. I don't have time to make "friends" with people who I don't like, I have to talk to someone about this.

To Group Chat: The Boys
"Meeting at our usual place, it's urgent."

After sending the message, I made my way to my car. I hope the boys don't think this is a joke..
