Trouble In Paradise

*Harry's POV*

I hadn't seen Kelsey all day – well from besides this morning -  I had left the hallway as everyone began to crowd around a few people. I had guess it was probably a fight, there were a lot of them in this school. I had only been here for a few weeks and there had been over 6 fights, most of them had been with one of the 'popular' boys called I think Jake or something. On my first day here Jake had been the one who had been getting pretty 'close' to Kelsey becoming really up and personal with her. 

I had looked around for Kelsey in each class I had with her, as science came around I was beginning to become worried. Kelsey hadn't been to any classes today had she left after we talked this morning?

Hey where are you? Haven't seen you all day

I closed my phone as I walked into science, making my way to the back of the classroom to where Kelsey and I normally sat. As I took my seat, looking around the classroom then to the door just waiting for her to walk into the classroom. I looked to my left as a girl had tapped me on the shoulder

"Where's Kelsey?" She asked me, pointing to the empty seat next to me where I was positioned.

'I'm not sure, I haven't seen her all day." I whispered to her as the teacher began to talk, drowning out the surrounding talking as he continued his discussion. I tapped on my book with a pen as I continued to watch and listen to what the teacher was trying to explain. No one in the class was really paying attention to anything he was trying to say, there were girls texting each other under their desks, people whispering and others staring aimlessly around the classroom.

I couldn't wait for this class to be over - it was the last class of the day -  because I could go back to Kelsey's and see if she was there, and to find out why she hadn't been at school. Ding, Ding, Ding the school bell rang commencing the school day to it's end. Yes, I thought to myself no more school. I pulled my phone from my pocket, unlocking the screen to check the time when a message had appeared on my screen reading.

I got suspended for 2 days, so I went home. 

See you soon

As I looked down at the screen staring blankly at it as I thought to myself 'what had she done to get suspended?'. I'd find out soon enough anyways. I walked out of the science room, walking towards my locker as I unlocked it, placing my combination in and pulling the door open. I placed the books I didn't need back into my locker and headed towards my car. A few people near the front entrance were talking about a fight that had happened this morning.

I walked away from the murmuring people, pacing fast towards my vehicle. I pulled the keys from my pocket pressing the unlock button and jumping in. I placed the key into the ignition, turning them and starting the engine. I backed out of the parking space, reversing out then driving off.

I pulled up into the driveway of Kelsey's house, jumping out and locking the car as I walked up to front door, knocking and waiting for a reply.

*Kelsey's POV*

I went for a shower, heading out of the bathroom to retrieve a set of clothes. Slipping into a pair of pajama shorts, I rummaged around to my draws trying to find a comfy shirt but I couldn't find one, I spun around and spotted Harry's shirt on the end of my bed. I had just put the shirt on when there was knock at the door, I walked over to the window adjusting the curtains and peering out to see who was here. And there it was the black range rover that I knew all-too well. I quickly ran from the bedroom, down the stairs and to the front door. I opened it to reveal a very frustrated Harry stood before me. His eyes widen as he scanned my face. I had forgotten until I had seen Harry's facial expression what had happened to my face.

"What happened?!" He gasped stepping forward to take a closer look at my injuries.

"Me and girl got into a fight." I told him, stepping to the side to allow him to come inside.

"Who did this to you?" 

"Abby."

"Abby?" He looked to me in confusion.

"Yes, but she looked worse then me." I laughed shutting the door then returning to Harry.

"Well what are you going to do for the next few days then?" He gently asked me.

"I don't know, stay home and do nothing I guess."

"Well, to celebrate your triumph, we should go out." He said surprisingly. "So get some stuff ready you will need warm clothes."

I went to walk away from him up the stairs, but stopping as he grabbed my hand.

"Are you wearing my shirt again?" He asked.

I turned to face him giving a slight smile, then replying with "Maybe." Then walking off giggling.
