Neutral-Gender Dorming

Chapter 12

~Harry POV~

I slept on the couch, hung over. Then I finally woke up, I laid on the couch thinking about Brianna. About how I did her wrong. About whether that blonde girl was really worth it or not. And where was the Motrin. Brianna walked out of her room for the first time. I didn't say anything. She went in the kitchen and poured some orange juice, she always drinks orange juice. I could feel her eyes burning into me.

I heard the juice pour, then I heard her take a gulp. I swallowed. The only noises were of people passing through the halls getting to class and Brianna sipping her orange juice.

"Wow." Brianna said breaking the silence.

"What?" I said non chalantly, but I was really greatful she could even speak to me.

"You really aren't apologetic at all." Brianna said putting her glass on the counter. I sat up and held my head since me sitting up shot a sharp pain in my temples. I didn't want to apologize, that would mean losing the war. But I did want her back, and the only way to do that was through jealousy. I got up and put on my coat.

"Your going out there hung over?" Brianna asked like she was my mom.

"Anything to get away from your orange juice breathe." I answered, her mouth gaped, she felt insulted. I walked out of the dorm and walked through the halls. I went into the lobby and at the desk I saw that blonde girl I made out. Vanessa was her name? She was signing out something. She finished up signing whatever she was signing and then began to walk away from the desk.

"Hey wait up!" I called after her, my headache slightly coming back to me.

"Hey..." Her eyes lit up when she saw me and put a flyer in her purse.

"Vanessa was it?" I asked. She looked annoyed and turned off at me.

"It's Jessica." She corrected me. I awkwardly nodded with my hands in my jacket pockets.

"Jessica, right... how could I forget that...." I said under my breathe. "Anywho, Jessica what are you doing?"

Her face suddenly lit up, jackpot.

"Well, I just signed up to help out at the school animal shelter." She said with a  smile.

"We have an animal shelter?" I said in disbelief.

"Yeah, its new. It just opened today, and I am a huge animal lover. I'm getting a little kitten, and I'm going to be volunteering there." She explained with a smile. I made a fake interested face.

"Wow." I nodded. She began to talk about how she loves dogs and she's had mostly dogs, but she wants a kitten this time and how she used to go horse riding, a whole bunch of jibberish. I then blanked out and nodded, just staring at her. Then, I was shot out of my boredom.

"Do you like animals?" She asked. I blinked at her, then my mind processed her question.

"Oh yeah I love them. I had a kitten back at home, I've also had a few dogs." I said, which was true.

"Cool." She nodded holding onto her purse. "So would you be interested in joining me?"

This was a perfect time to get close to her to make Brianna jealous.

"Sure." I said with a smile. "I love volunteering.

"Cool..." She said nodding and putting her hair behind her ears. "You know most guys don't like to volunteer and stuff, you a really cool guy Harry..."

"I know- I mean thank you." I said with a smile. She nodded and smiled.

"Oh!" She said and dug in her purse, then she handed me this flyer. "Here is the address, and be there at 6:00." She said.
