The New Girl

Chapter 39- Unfinished Breakfast

Aurora Jones.

After Harry left, I couldn't get even a wink of sleep last night. Every time I'd close my eyes I'd see his stupid smile and those caring green eyes that I love to look at so much. I couldn't allow myself to be thinking of him this way, so I decided to keep myself awake... which didn't really help much, since all I did was think of Harry.

I sighed, "Why can't I just get you out of my head?!" I muttered to myself.

I grabbed my phone and noticed I had a text from Harry, "What do you want, now?!" I snapped.

I swear, this boy is going to be the death of me and I mean that in the worst way possible.

iMessage from Harry:
"Sorry about last night, Aurora. I promise I'll explain as soon as I can."

The time says he sent it at around two in the morning, he was probably at Daisy's house when he sent this.

I rolled my eyes, locking my phone and tossing it onto my bed. Who does he think he is? Why does he feel the need to do this to me? I haven't done anything to him, nor will I ever. He's making this hard for the both of us and I just don't know what else to do.

My phone, suddenly, vibrated, making me turn to look at the screen.

iMessage from Lou:
"Good morning, sunshine! Would you like to join the boys, Sabrina, Jennifer and I for breakfast? I can pick you up, if you'd like. :)"

This is exactly what I needed, spending time with friends and forgetting last night ever happened. Yeah, that's it! They'll help me through this, I better get changed!

After getting picked up by Louis, we were able to make it to a nearby pancake house. I realized that Louis said "the boys" in his text, does that mean Harry will be here? I really hope not.

"Slept well?" Louis asked, opening the passenger door for me.

If you call staying up 'till morning, thinking about one of your best friends sleeping well... then: yes, definitely!

"Yes, thank you." I smiled, trying my best not to look too tired.

I really didn't think this through. If I didn't get any sleep last night, what made me think it wouldn't be noticeable to my friends? I should've just stayed home and taken a nap or something! Now they're definitely going to know I couldn't sleep last night.

When we entered the restaurant, I noticed Sabrina, Liam, Jennifer, Zayn, and Niall already sitting in a large booth. I was both relieved and disappointed to see that Harry wasn't with them.

I still couldn't stop thinking about Harry, even while I'm out with friends. It's like he's taken over half of my brain and constantly orders my brain to send images of him. It's annoying and I want to stop it, since he's always going to choose Daisy over me.

That's the one thing I can't wrap my finger around. If he hates Daisy as much as he shows he does, then why the heck is he still with her?!

"You alright, there?" Louis asked placing a hand on my shoulder.

I sighed, "Sorry, I was just lost in thought." I chuckled, following Louis to a really lovely table.
