CHAPTER 3

The third day of school and I'm already late. I quickly get dressed, get my stuff and ran downstairs to have a quick breakfast. I told mum that I'm running late for school so I just left the house.

As I was walking to school, I heard a horn beep from a car. Idk if it was meant for me or someone else, so I just kept walking. The car then went ahead of me and stopped about a meter away. Harry then stepped out of his car and offered me a lift to school, and I accepted it.

"So Erika, are you single?" Asked Harry

"Umm, yea of course..why?" I replied

"Are you free tonight? Harry asked

"Uhh... I guess" I said

"Wannna hang out tonight, at the beach?" He asked

"Yea, sure" I said

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7" He replied

"Ok" I said

We reached school and we only have about 2-3 more minutes till the bell rings. Harry parked the car and we got out. He went beside me and put his hand around my neck. While we were walking into school door, Harry's friend came up to him and asked "Is this your girlfriend... She's a hottie?"

Harry replied "Yes indeed.. This is Erika my girlfriend" and he lift me up from the ground and kisses my cheek. He then put me down and I stood there blushing because there were a lot of people watching and from that point I saw Jack watching me from far away.

I tried running to him but Harry grabbed my cardigan and pulled me toward him. He kissed me on the lips in front of everyone and I lean backwards and pushed him back. I then run to find Jack but he was gone. I could hear Harry's shouting my name but I ignored him.

The bell has rung and I went off to my first lesson, which was geography. The lesson was really boring because I almost fell asleep. It was then break time and I tried to find Jack but it seems like its impossible. I took my lunch and grab a seat on the table with Connor, Camilla and Jane.

Suddenly Harry came from behind my back and closed my eyes with his hand. I was actually shocked because I thought it was jack but it wasn't. Harry asked "How's your day babe?"and sat closely next to me.

"Its fine I guess" I replied

"What's wrong? You look sad..." He asked and grabbed my chin so that I was facing him

" I need Jack" I said in a quiet low voice.

"Jack?!Are you serious?" He shouts back

He got up and dragged me near the boy's bathroom. He pushed me near the wall and said "Don't ever mention his name in front of me..Ever..Again!! Got it?" He asked in a very angry deep voice

"Yes, yes.. I'm sorry" I replied

"That's more like it" he smiled and placed his hand on the wall and gently kissed me on the lips again. We walked back to our table and ate our lunch normally like nothing happened.

After school finishes, I ran home. Actually not to my house but Jack's house. I rang the doorbell and his mum opened the door for me. "Yes, who are you and how can I help you?" His mum asked

"Oh..I'm Erika, Jack's friend...Is Jack home? I need to see him..please?" I asked hurriedly

"Ok dear, why don't you come in for a moment while I'll go and call Jack" she said

I went inside and actually wonders around the living room. It was beautifully decorated. "Your house is pretty" I said

"Oh thank you dear... May I know who's your parents and where do you live?" She asked
