Chapter 3 : Stupidity is You

Chapter 3 : Stupidity is You.

I couldn't have my lunch properly... My mind didn't get off the way he looked up at me, his plump lips... Everyone enjoyed lunch while my eyes wondered over to the curly haired guy.

"Have some lunch properly, you haven't even had breakfast." It was a deep, husky accent as emarald eyes looked up at me. My breath quickened, and I quickly looked down.

I heard the rest laugh and I knew my cheeks were warming up and a faded red was making its way into my cheeks.

"Thanks but I am not so hungry." I had barely touched my pudding as I got up.

"Don't be stupid Ava, sit down. You won't get any food till dinner then." It was him again, and he had a slight smile on the corners of his lips.

He gestured with his hand for me to sit back down. I knew my cheeks were too flushed and if I stayed there longer, I'd be hanging off the cliff.

"I think I'll pass." I murmured quickly and walked down

the isle to the exit. I walked upto my locker which was located in the seventh corridor.

I knew this college was big but not that big! It was humumgus!

The lockers were not the usual gray but were covered with maple wood. I dialed in my code and pulled out my French books... I pulled out my water bottle and took a sip to calm my breathing a little. It was like I had run a marathon but the reason was that I had to walk a lot and the fact that he had caught me guard.

As I shut my locker, I almost dropped my books.

Leaning against the locker, next to mine was Harry. Harry Styles. My cousin, who still wasn't wishing to acknowledge me.

He had his arms crossed on his chest and and a smirk tugged over the corners of his lips.

"Well, hello Ava." he said in a seductive tone. "I'm not sure we've met formally." He narrowed his eyes at my confused expression but the still smirked. "I'm Harry Styles." he extended a hand.

When I didn't respond, his smile widened even more.

The bastard was enjoying it.

"Y-you - I am Ava Dallas." I said as if he didn't know already.

"Yes, I do know that. I am sorry for embarassing you there but... really, I meant what I said." His face turned serious. "And since when do you get so embarassed easily? Its not a charasteristic I've heard from your mom."

"Are you really Anne's son?" I blurted as he continued. He used to tease me, yes... he was my favourite cousin but now he was... changed.

"Well, if you don't notice our resemblance then yes, she is my mother and your aunt." He smirked at my question... God! He smirked a lot.

"Oh.. I thought we weren't even related as you failed to acknowledge from the first time you saw me." I whisper-yelled in his face. My confidence had returned...

Harry seemed to be caught off guard by my sudden burst but he seemed to recover quickly.

"Have you not seen that I was the one who tried to wake you. And what do you expect me to do? Shine lasers of our family bonds or tape it to my forehead?" He smirked, how could a person be so calm when the topic certainly did not require him.

"You could have tried another time. You just left Harry. Without a goodbye, just like before." My voice was going to break and my face was now heating to burst.

"I'm the same person Ava, I just didn't think you wanted me to be that." His tone changed.

"Of course I do, you're the only family I have here." Harry narrowed his eyes at the statement.

He wanted to say something but decided against it as the bell for the lunch to be over rang.

"So what do you have now?" He asked me, making it as if the converstation we had never happened.

"French." I knew my voice was hardening and it took all my will not to shout.

"Well... come on. I have that too." He smiled down at me. He took my hand in his and we walked down the corridor to which the French class was.

Ring the bells, the games have begun because Stupidity is you.
