Change

Chapter 4

(Well I barely have any readers lol but hopefully the reader count increases in time! I'll still keep writing because you never know who's interested in this story! Sorry the chapters are kinda short, I'll try and lengthen them in time once I get more into the story and more detail to put. The first few chapters are just laying out everything kk enjoy xx )

I ignore what my friends are saying and debate whether to accept his follow request or not. There is a main reason my twitter is private, so creeps like him don't follow me and send me weird tweets. Out of mind, out of sight.

I weigh out the pros and the cons. Why is Harry's follow request such a big deal to me? I'm making this much more complicated than it ought to be. I hover my finger over the accept button.

"Kate?" I startle and look straight up.

"Uh hello... what Jule?"

"You tell me.. you've been looking down at your phone with your eyes furrowed for about two minutes."

I look down at my phone to close it and focus my attention to my friends once more. Shit.

"Harry requested to follow me on twitter and I wasn't sure whether to accept or not, but when you called my name, and I guess I twitched and.." I lift my phone up to show them the profile of the now following me Harry Styles.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Yes... I don't feel comfortable with him looking at my tweets. He won't leave me alone and the last thing I want to do is let him know what's going on in my life."

"Just block him, then."

I guess that is the easiest way out but I don't want easy. I don't want to be the immature one who blocks someone on twitter.

"Eh..I'll think about it.. Anyway, I got to get to class. Bye girls!" I smile and scurry my way out of the cafeteria. I stop at the door and make sure I have everything I need for my first class before I finally exit. I walk towards my next class ignoring anyone who might want to talk to me. I can't be late for class. Besides what everyone's impression of me is, I actually am very responsible. I have to do all my homework and can't stand missing a day of school.

I enter my classroom and sit near the back next to  a girl name Maddie. We don't have assigned seats in class, so I always prefer sitting in the back. It's isolated in a sense, and I enjoy that. With all the constant attention, it's nice to have a place where people aren't drawn towards me. We learn about Probability and Statistics, something I'm already familiar with. I'm not much of a talker during class. I enjoy being caught up in my thoughts: there's never a fear that you might say something wrong, because it's all in your head. Class ends fairly quick in my mind.

I meet up with the girls once more. It's a routine for us, to always meet up at the corner of this one hallway in our school building, near the senior lockers. We talk about shoes, clothes, coming parties, and other stuff I would have never cared to talk about a couple years back. The rest of the day flashes by and the school week is finally over.

When I arrive home, my mom is sitting on the living room couch with the biggest smile on her face as she watches TV.

"Hi Kate!! How are you?" her expression is abrupt.

"Hi mom...why are you in such a good mood?" She's usually in a fairly good mood or in a completely terrible mood when her date with a man goes badly. I assumed her mood was directly correlated to her date with Garrett.

"My date with Garrett went perfectly. He's a really sweet guy, with such a charming smile, and a sense of humor that can light up your day in seconds." I knew it. But I'm genuinely happy for my mother. It's been a while since she's related to someone. I like knowing she is close to figuring things out and finding the person for her. She's been alone for quite some time. No matter who the man is, I don't mind, as long as she is content.
