Faking It || Harlena

16. Preparing

S E L E N A

He wasn't in front of my house.

I frowned at the thought. Harry always was waiting for me outside but today he wasn't there. I began to worried at the same time mad. How am I suppose to get to school now? Louis got to school early. I sighed, I guess I'll walk.

I got there with a sweaty forehead and I wiped it with my handkerchief. When I saw Harry, I'll totally bark him off for making me walk. I go to my locker and get my books.

"Hey!" I ignore him. He sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry. Our coach called us and needed us for an early practice." He said.

"At least, call me or send me a text. Did you know that I walk all the way here? Louis got to school early." I snapped.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." He said. I shook my head and get away from him. He pulled me back and hugs me.

"Sorry." He simply said. I hug him back.

"We're good, right?" He asks. I tiptoed and give him kiss.

"Yeah, just don't do that again. I'm worried." I said. He kissed my forehead. I slightly moaned at his warmness.

"Yes, love. I gotta go, coach just gave me 20 min. See ya later, babe." He said and winked causing my cheeks to burn and turn into a light shade of pink. I'm crazy. Harry isn't mine so I have no right to be mad at him for not texting.

"Pathetic." I mumbled to myself. I got to my first class, three minutes before our professor came.  I sighed and found myself not listening to what he's saying. Good thing, he didn't notice it. I really need to stop being like that. I'm not his girlfriend we are just fake.

Lunch came by, when you really didn't mind time it will went fast. Sometimes, I want it to stop coz everyday, time flies I feel like my time with Harry was going short and falling for him faster wasn't helping.

"Boo!" Someone whispered. I let out a loud shrieked and slap Harry's chest.

"I hate you!" I said. He was laughing his ass off while I'm punching him. He caught my hands and stare directly to my eyes.

"Sorry." He said. He leans and our lips connected. His lips never fails to amaze me, it's so soft and sweet. Our kiss lasted for a couple of seconds and we pulled away.

"That was sweet." He commented making me blush in shyness. He chuckled slightly and kiss my cheeks.

"Let's grab some food, yeah?" I asked. He nodded as he intertwines his hands in mine and we walk hand in hand to the cafeteria. As usual, we earned glances, glares and admirations. I really hate this kind of attention. I was used to be a loner, only have a one friend but now everyone likes to be my friend so they could know Harry. I scoffed.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked. I shook my head.

"I'm just thinking." I said and smiled warmly at him.

"Don't think me too much, I'm all yours." He cheekily said.

"Who says I'm thinking you?" I retorted. Earning 'oohh's ' from Liam and Niall.

"I hate you" he childishly said. I chuckled.

"Oh please, I know you love me." I said. He looked at me.

"Of course, I love you." He said as I widen my eyes. You know those type of words when you thought it was it but the person who you're talking with ruin it.

"Just a friend." He whispered. I feel myself hurt by that word. I hate it. I feel like I have no space in Harry's heart but apparently, I really don't have.

"Kay." I simply said and continue eating Niall's food that Harry commanded him to give some for me.

"Hey, I'm just wondering if you're free tomorrow? I have to ask you some things." He said, nervously. I smiled.

"I'm free. Why?" I asked. He smirked.

"It's for me to know and you to find out." He said. I groaned, I hate riddles.

"Ugh. I hate you! You know I despise riddles." I groaned. He leaned and kiss my cheeks.

"You'll be happy, I promise." He said before winking at me causing my reddened cheeks to blush more. Ah! This guy! I swear if he didn't stop, I don't think I can survive without him.

"Okay, as long as you didn't plan on killing me then I'm alright." I said. He frowned at my words.

"Why do you always kept saying that I'm planning to kill you?" He asked. I think for it for a moment. He used to be my bully so I think I got this feeling that if I go with him, he will hurt me just like he did.

"Because you bully me back then. I really got this feeling that every time we go out, I feel like I'm getting myself in trouble." I said as I hung my head low.

"I'm sorry, Sel. I really was regretting everything I did to you. If only I could turn back time, I will." He said and we eat in silence.

"I'm sorry I ruin the mood at the cafeteria just an hour ago." I said while we were heading to our next class.

"No, it's okay. I should have consider that I really put your life to a living hell but I'll change that." He said and cheekily grinned at me as we both make an entrance.

School's over and Harry said he wouldn't be able to drop me off my house coz he has 'practice'. I called Louis to pick me up and he was on his way here.

A honk snapped me of my little observation and got in Louis' car.

"How was school, sis?" He asked. I scoffed.

"The usual. Math equations making your mind numb, English literature make you believe in certain things about love, Chemistry was a pain in the ass, and the list goes on. You know how it feels to be a senior high school, Louis." I said. He chuckled.

"How was your boy doing? I didn't get to talk to him for a long time now." He said.

"He's doing fine. He wasn't able to drop me home coz he has football practice." I said. He nodded.

"Sel, don't give yourself yet to Harry, please." Louis said.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed. "Where did you get that?! I know I always believe in Marriage before sex." I said.

"Just saying. Don't want my sister to get knocked up early." He reasons.

"I won't." I said. He continues to drive us home in silence. Well, that was awkward.
