*beep* *beep*
'Shit' I thought aloud to myself as the harsh tone of my alarm ring through my head. I pressed snooze and went back to sleep for a while.

*beep* *beep*
I woke this time easier but no more enthusiastically. I reluctantly got out of the comfort of my duvet and went downstairs to make breakfast. Once I had my bowl of cereal I trudged back upstairs and sat on my bed. I saw that Jeffree Star had uploaded a new video so I clicked on it while I ate my breakfast.
It was the beginning of the last term of school. Exams had arrived and Mia I was not looking forward to it. I had been trying to revise but kept on getting distracted, the last couple of days had me trying to cram information into my memory last minute. I got dressed into my uniform and put some makeup on, usually I wouldn't bother for school but I was feeling inspired by Jeffree today.
It was time to go to school and Simon was picking me up, I hadn't told him about me and Harry. I wanted to wait until the right moment and blurting it out whilst in a car to school didn't seem like that moment.
I was sitting in Simons car, looking out the window at the raindrops splash onto the road below. In typical British fashion it was pouring with rain in June.
When we got to school I was followed by stares as it was a surprise to find me and Simon together. He walked with me to my locker and we headed to the library to do some last minute revision. We both had our first Chemistry exam next so we were helping each other.

Once the exam was over me and Simon rejoined and walked to lunch. Some of the boys also joined us; Vik, Tobi, Josh and JJ. I was feeling like a stranger as they were all talking about football or video games and I didn't have anything to input. I sat there silently, just eating my food until Simon put his arm around me. I felt my cheeks go red as I noticed all the boys were watching me, waiting to see what I would do. I saw Vik give me a small friendly smile and I knew he didn't have a problem with me, JJ and Josh however did not. They looked at me in such a way it seemed they were daring me to do something. I just sat there. I looked up and Simon and he looked down at me, we both smiled at each other but in the back on my mind I felt guilty, guilty I had to string him along until I found the perfect moment to let him go. I liked Simon, a lot, but what I felt for Harry was so much more real. It felt so much more special and I couldn't hide it. I know Simon will take it hard, I can tell he loves me and I regret that I don't feel the same way back.

The rest of the exams passed quite quickly, nothing much really happened in terms of my relationship with Simon. I haven't told him how I feel because I didn't want him stressing out about me on top of the exams.
I woke at 6am to get ready for the last day of school. As it was the last day it was non-uniform so I got dressed into white shorts and a pink top. I put all my valuables in my pink backpack and put my sunglasses on my head. I went downstairs and waited until it was time to leave. I put my white brogues on and walked out the door.
It was the end of year Thorpe Park trip and the whole year was buzzing to go. I got out off the school bus and walked up to school. I met up with Simon in the hall and waited until we were called down to the coaches.
When we arrived at Thorpe Park Simon and I went on stealth, he wanted to go on it a second time and I didn't so I waited on a bench to the side.
'Hey' I heard a voice say to my right.
'Hey harry' I replied.
'How are you?' He asked, we hadn't really spoken due to revision for exams and the whole Simon situation.
'I'm good thanks, you?'
'Yeah I'm good, have you spoken to Simon yet?'
'No, I was going to wait until the holidays so we weren't forced to see each other everyday in school'
'Oh okay, that makes sense' he nodded and smiled slightly 'do you wanna go get something to drink?'
'Sure' we got up and he lead the way to a coffee shop. He ordered a coffee and I ordered a hot chocolate. We sat down in two armchairs, they were tucked away in a corner, covered from the main shop by a wall. We talked for a while, caught up on what's been happening, which wasn't much.
When we finished our drinks we walked back to the bench I was waiting at and sat down. Simon had just gotten off the ride and was walked over to us. As soon as he saw Harry and I together his face looked like a mixture of emotions, part jealousy and part anger.
'Hey Simon' I said as I got up to hug him. He embraced me tightly, I think because he wanted Harry to feel jealous of 'what we had'. I have Harry an apologetic smile and walked off with Simon.
'So, what did Harry want?' He asked as soon as we were out of war shot from Harry.
'Nothing, we were just talking' I said calmly.
'About what?' He was starting to annoy me now.
'Just catching up, we haven't really spoken in weeks. Calm down Si' I smiled up at him and he smiled down at me.

The rest of the day was pretty average.
'Mia can I go sit next to Josh?' Simon asked me as we got on the coach back to school.
'Sure' I said and sat down near the back of the coach. I watched Simon go to the back seats and greet Josh and the rest of the boys. I put my earphones in and blasted Melanie Martinez full volume. I was halfway through the song Carousel when I felt something hit my head. I looked up in time to see a piece of paper being thrown in my direction. I looked around for the cause of the paper and saw a group of five girls sniggering. I turned back around, not bothering to give them the satisfaction of a reaction. I then felt another piece of paper hit my head.
'What the fuck are you doing?' I vaguely heard someone shout. I took my earphones out and turned around to see both Harry and Simon looked furious and the girls sat completely still, exchanging occasional glances between themselves. I smirked to myself and gave a little nod of gratification to Simon and Harry before turning back around.
When we got off the coach Simon gave me a lift home.
'Bye Mia' he said as I got out of the car.
'Bye Simon' I replied.
I shut the door and went to my house. Once I got inside I went to the kitchen to grab a KitKat and went up to my room. I sat on my bed and reflected on the day; it was a good day.
