A New Start

Chapter 3

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I looked to my side and noticed Harry wasn't there anymore. I felt discouraged for a split second till I began remembering last night, and I smiled to myself. It was as if I could feel his touch lingering around my body. Harry was a lot different than I thought he would be; well so he said. I got out of bed and got dressed in a simple white dress before putting on some lipgloss and mascara. I ran my fingers through my hair as I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before heading downstairs for breakfast. I was happy about the fact that it was Friday, and that I wouldn't have to deal with school for two days.

I finally made my way to the kitchen, where I immediately spotted Harry and Anne sitting across from eachother at the kitchen table. I sat next to the empty seat beside Harry. He smiled at me quickly before continuing eating his cereal. "Goodmorning love, how did you sleep?" , Anne said as she poured me a bowl of cereal. "Oh I slept really well thanks", I said. I quickly ate my cereal before leaving the house right on time with Harry by my side. He quickly walked ahead of me, unlocking the the car door and opening it for me. He offered me his hand as I hopped into the high car. "Thanks", I said as he smiled at me before walking to the other side to get into the driver's seat.

I watched him intently as he drove, and I can tell he began to notice my gaze as we pulled up to the school. A smirk spread on his face and he glimpsed at me. "What are you looking at?" he said chuckling lightly. "Oh uh nothing", I said my cheeks turning a bright red. I began realizing how built and beautiful he was, and I couldn't help but feel attracted to him. He was utterly perfect, and I really hope these slight feelings wouldn't become a distraction for me. I snapped out of my daze as Harry got out of the car and walked over and opened the door for me. He offered me his arm and grinned down at me, "Shall we?", he said. I smiled right back at him and accepted his offer.  We walked arm in arm as we strolled into the entrance to the school. The amount of stares and whispers I was getting was intense, and I felt uncomfortable. I unlinked our arms, and Harry looked down at me slightly pouting.

"Why'd you let go love?", he said.

"I don't think anyone likes the idea of us actually being friends so uh.."

"Nonsense. They'll just have to deal with it", he said grinning at me, showing off his dimples.

Just as he did so, his friends began walking towards us with confused looks on their faces. They all were intimidating and all good looking, which explained why they all were the most popular group of kids in school. A tall blonde boy with blue eyes looked at me with a scolding look. "Oi mate, what the fuck is she doing here with you, I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with her", he said. Ouch, that hurt a tad bit. I looked down at my hands and began fiddling with my fingers not meeting any of their gazes. A girl began to speak suddenly and I slightly looked up at her. "What the fuck Harry. You know she can't be seen with us. She's seems like a little bitch if you ask me. I wouldn't be friends with her if you asked me to."

I began holding back my tears. I let my hair fall around my face as I looked down once again. I felt Harry's gaze on me again and I felt his hand slightly brush against mine. What really upset me at that moment was that he wasn't denying everything they were saying. I looked up at him quickly to see if he was about to protest, but again; nothing. Suddenly I heard him start to speak up. "Fine, whatever", he said. That's it? That's all he has to say? I feel aggravated and annoyed, and I immediately ran off to the bathroom as a stray tear runs down my cheek, but I keep my head down so no one can see how vulnerable I am at this moment. I looked into the mirror and I see my cheeks are bright red from anger and my eyes look slightly irritated from holding back all the tears that are now spilling out of my eyes. I quickly wipe them away when I notice once of Harry's friends walks in. She notices me right away and walks up to me slowly with a grin on her face. "Aw crying love? Must fucking suck to see that Harry would choose us over you. Ha, you actually thought that he would be there for you. Well why don't you just fuck off and leave us alone, kay?". I stay silent. I'm so use to hurtful words that I just walk right past her as our shoulders brush against each other. I walked to class feeling abandoned. Harry is the only one that actually seems to give me the time of day, but it really does seem that he doesn't care about me one bit if he can stand to watch me get hurt like that.
