The New Girl

Chapter 26 - "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Aurora Jones.

After things were cleared up, Luke emailed Gossip Central and made sure the whole school knew it was all big misunderstanding. For someone who I thought was the one that caused all of this, he's doing a pretty good job at fixing things and making things good again.

It was Monday and I hadn't seen Harry since last week, I wonder if he still thinks I'm keeping my distance from him. I really hope he doesn't, I've been wanting to apologize for the things that I said to him.

"Has anyone seen Harry?" I asked, hoping they'd finally give me an answer.

Every time I asked about Harry, Sabrina and everyone would avoid talking about him and change the subject. I've let it slide for a while, but not today. I wanted to talk to him. I'm worried about him and why he's been absent so much.

I looked at the boys, "You guys are best friends, I know you boys know something of where he's been. Don't hide it from me." I snapped.

Luke placed a hand of my shoulder, "Relax, Jones, I'm sure they know just as much as you do about Styles' whereabouts." He soothed.

Ever since Luke and I made up, he's been having lunch with Sabrina, the boys, and I. It was awkward, at first, but they finally just accepted it. Sabrina has asked so many times when we could go on a double date with her and Liam.... Luke and I have mastered the art of changing the subject when it comes to that. Especially because we're not exactly at an official relationship, we're just "talking" I guess.

I shook my head, "No, they avoid my question every time I ask. I want to know why he hasn't been around."

Niall sighed, "Fine. If you want to know so bad, you'll find him in the football field. He's usually somewhere around the bleachers."

I could tell Niall was annoyed with me, something I'm still confused about. I know they don't like Luke, but he hasn't done anything to them. Niall's attitude changed once I brought Luke to eat with us and I have yet to ask what his problem was.

"Don't. Niall doesn't know what he's talking about. He's not-"

I stood up and cut Louis off, "No, I'm going. Why would Niall say the football field, huh? Because that's where Harry is."

Luke stood up next to me, "I'll come with you."

"No... I have to talk to him alone." I whispered, before kissing his cheek and making my way to the football field.

********

I was nervous about seeing Harry. Is he still thinking of what I said? Does he think I didn't want him to be around anymore? Because if that's the case, then I really have to clarify myself. I really didn't mean for him to stop hanging out with us.

"Daisy, we can't do that here." I heard a familiar low voice scold.

Please, don't tell me he's here with-

I heard Daisy giggle, "Of course we can, Harry. Football season is over, so we have the place to ourselves."

I spoke too soon.

I peeked through the side of the bleachers and saw Harry sitting beside the blonde I met last week. They were in the middle of a heated make-out, while Daisy slipped her hand into Harry's shirt. Guess she just can't keep her hands to herself...

For some reason, the thought of him not talking to me because of her, actually, hurt me. I wasn't sure if she's the reason he wasn't talking to me or if he's still thinking of the harsh words I said to him.

Only one way to find out...

"H-Harry?" I called out, hoping this wouldn't be too awkward.
