If Only They Knew

Chapter 17

I wake up to the beeping of my alarm in the morning. I love it how time always seems to fly by when you're sleeping. Just how you can shut your eyes and be in an entirely different world all together.

"Get up sleepy head!" Grace yells interrupting my thoughts.

"mmmmm" i groan back at her.

I decide to get up about 5 minutes later. I grab a towel and head down to the shower. When i come back i chuck on a nice casual florally patterned dress. It comes about halfway to my knees. I chuck my hair up in a neat bun and apply my makeup in a natural style.

I don't know what it is, but i'm feeling really good this morning. i woke up all cheery for once. I'm never a morning person.

I check the time and it reads 8:45am. I grab my English books and head off to class. As i walk through the door of the room i sit down in my now usual spot that i've sat in for the past couple of days. Mr Davies is already in the room earlier this time. I smile as i see the door swing open and see a familiar curly haired boy enter through the door.

He turns his focus from the ground to me and smiles at me after he finds me smiling also. He starts walking towards me when he's interrupted.

"Harry, could i talk to you for a minute?" Mr Davies asks him.

"Sure thing" Harry says still cheery and walks over towards Mr Davies.

I have no idea what he's saying but i don't think it's too good.. Harry's smile drops and he looks slightly angry? I'm not too sure. After Mr Davies is finished i try to recapture his gaze by staring at him but it doesn't work. He just keeps his down, frown upon his face, and walks to the nearest seat and just sits down.

What was that about? I can't help but question myself as to what Mr Davies had said. What would bring Harry down that much? And why would he say something to make him that bad?

"Alright class, i want all of you to put your essay on my desk before you leave. Class dismissed." Mr Davies says before sitting back down in his chair.

I stand up from my seat and walk towards the door, putting my paper on his desk on the way. Mr Davies gives me a little smirk as i walk past him. What was that? i start thinking to myself again. As soon as i get out of the room i yell out.

"Harry!"

Harry turns around to find me walking up to him. He doesn't respond.

"Hey! what happened in there? One minute you were all happy and the next you were just sitting there with your head down ignoring everyone and everything. What'd Mr Davies say to you?" I ask curiously.

"He told me not to go near you.." He replies with a bit of what seems like sadness to his tone of voice.

"Wait, wait, wh-what?" Well i wasn't expecting that. "Why would he say that?"

"I don't know, he wouldn't tell me."

"Who is he to tell you who you can and can't go near." i respond with a little bit of an angry tone.

"I just don't see why, and to be honest i don't care. He's not going to run my life. If i want to see you, i will. He can't exactly stop me."

"Oooh, someone's getting a bit fiesty!" i reply in a mocking sort of tone.

He just rolls his eyes at me. Those adorable green eyes.

I look at the time on my watch. Crap!

"I'm really sorry, i have to go, i forgot, i have to start work in an hour. I will see you later, yes?"

"Of course. some stupid teacher isn't getting in my way." He mumbles that last sentence under his breath. I don't think i was meant to hear it, so i try no to respond to it.

"See you later then Harry!"

"Alright, bye Lucy!"

I make my way back to the room to get my uniform. By the time i get there and finally get ready, i've got 40 minutes left. i decide to walk there now or else i'll be late.
