The rest of my shift seemed to fly by pretty quickly again. I walk back out the back, change my shirt and got ready to leave.

I feel my phone constantly vibrate in my pocket, so i pull it out and check it. I realize at it's Harry calling.

"Hello" i answer.

"uh, hi, Lucy?"

"Yeah.." i reply curiously.

"Would you mind if i came over for a bit tonight, i really just need someone to talk to.. But Niall's gone away for the night, and i don't really wanna be by myself.."

"Oh, uh, of course you can, drop by in about an hour?"

"Sure, thanks" He replies, his voice a little shaky.

"No problem whatsoever, see you later"

"yeah alright then" I hear the phone beep letting me know he's hung up.

What was that about? i wonder to myself. He sounded really shaken up, sad even. I can't help but think why..

I grab my bag and head back out to the front of the shop. Louis' still there working. I swear this guy works all the time! Like everyday!

"I'm going home now, Bye Louis! say bye to Tim for me!" i yell as i'm walking out of the shop.

I find myself walking at quite a fast pace. I think i'm just eager to get home. I grab my phone out of my pocket and decide to check twitter. Just to see what's going on around the world.

"Oh, I'm really sorry!" I say realizing i had just bumped into a man and knocked all of his pages out of his hand. Out of instant reaction, i bend down and start picking up the papers.

"It's fine really, you don't have to pick them up" The man chuckles, his voice somewhat familiar.

I look up to find Mr Davies staring at me on the ground with a smile plastered on his face.

After i'd gotten all the papers i stood back up to meet eye level with him. i handed him his papers.

"Mr Davies, i reckon you're everywhere these days!" i say rolling my eyes jokingly.

"Speak for yourself, you pop up everywhere too!" He says laughing back at me. We both just laugh for a minute.

"So where are you headed?" He asks me.

"Oh i'm just going back to my dorm." i tell him.

"In a bit of a rush i see?" he looks down at his messy papers.

"Yeah, sorry again!" i give him an awkward teethy smile.

"It's fine, what's the rush?"

"I gotta go clean my room a little, Harry's coming over soon." I quickly stop myself from saying anything else after i'd realized at i started talking about Harry to Mr Davies..

"Harry?" His eyebrows furrowed and his smile started to drop.

Why didn't he like the boy?

"I really don't like the thought of one of my best students hanging out with someone like him.." He replies with some tone about his voice.

"Someone like him?" i question him.

"Nevermind, i better be going, i'll see you in class" Without saying another thing he walks off.

What's with him? and what does he mean someone like 'him'?

I continue walking back to my dorm. This past half hour has been quite weird i must admit...

(I have a question, are my chapters too short or are they alright? Sorry to annoy you but please comment whether they're alright or if they're too short, i'm just not sure :/)
