Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 11

I was awaken abruptly by my alarm clock and was devastated that it was time to wake up already. I probably got only 2 hours of sleep and now I have an extremely long day today. I can't seem to keep my eyes open and I don't even want to move. I walk towards the showers hoping one will help wake me up.

A warm shower was really nice this morning. It's a little chilly in our dorm because it's starting to get cold outside and we don't have a good heating system. I went back to my room to get dressed which didn't really take much effort. I just threw on a sweatshirt, jeans, and my vans. I didn't bother doing my hair and I forgot to put on make up. My mind was in its own little world today it seemed.

I got to school kind of early so I went to get some coffee. The line wasn't too bad so I got it pretty quick, except when I turned around, I turned right into this girl. She glared at me with her mouth wide open. She didn't look like the type to be very forgiving. She had almost a gothic look to her with piercings and tattoos all over her body. I scrambled to grab some napkins to help wipe it up but she grabbed my arms and tried to slap me. Luckily I saw it coming and dodge it. There is no way in hell this girl was going to beat me up and make my semi okay morning terrible.

I released my hands from her grip and pushed her. I know I already spilt my coffee on her and that should be punishment enough, but I was already in a bad mood and she made it worse by giving me sass. Plus, I'm not too fond of people touching me. We started to go at it, but we didn't get very far before a teacher was trying to pull us apart.

"Stop it you two!" The lady screamed, "You both have detention tonight, 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock."

I don't know what got into me. I can't believe I just did that, and got detention. I didn't even know you could still get it. Ugh.

The day dragged on until it was finally over, for now at least. I grabbed a quick bite after school since I probably won't have time before 8. I got back to my dorm and didn't have much time to do my homework before I had to leave. I grabbed a book, my personal favorite, Pride and Prejudice, and left.

I walked into the office and the lady showed me into a room. I'm really hoping the hour goes by fast so I can just get back to my dorm. I walk in with my head down, not wanting to look at all these bad people. I really shouldn't be hear. I took a seat close to the back away from most of them.

"Pssssst. Kat" I heard a faint whisper from my left. I ignored it and acted like I was listening to music.

"Kat," the voice said as they chucked a paper ball at me. I look up and I'm just about to scream at the person, but then I realize it's Liam. How did he get in here?

"How did you get in here?"

"I accidentally squirted a teacher with the water hose at the bonfire. No big deal." he pretended he was all tough. I giggled. "Hey, we're gonna go grab some food in a few, wanna join?"

"Oh I would love to but I have something, oh right, detention." I sarcastically say and he rolls his eyes.

"Don't worry, she takes her daily afternoon naps, and when she's out, she is out."

She ends up falling a sleep and I give in. I couldn't sit there for an hour doing absolutely nothing. Yeah, I brought a book, but I've read it a million times. Plus, I need to live a little. Maybe Harry will like me more if I'm more outgoing.

We go to an old Italian restaurant which ends up being delicious. I got to know some of the people in detention and they're not all that bad. I met this one girl who's super pretty, her name is Kira. Then I met one of Liam's friends, his name is Louis. He's on the football team with him and I guess him, Liam, Harry, and Niall all play together and are the bestest friends. I start drifting away to fantasies of having double dates with Maddie and Niall mixing in with dreams of Harry and I having children. Liam snaps me out of it by grabbing me to leave.

We start walking back to the school and I use the opportunity to get to know Kira better. She just got out of a serious relationship with a boy who sounds like a complete asshole. In the midst of talking, her phone rings. She looks at it and the screen reads "Styles". My heart stopped.

"Ugh, it's him. Let me take this."

She picked up the phone and started talking loudly, trying her best to come off calm. It wasn't working too well. She walks back over to me furious.

"Sorry about that."

"No it's fine. I don't mean to barge in, but why do you put up with him?"

"I don't know, I guess because I still care? He's one of those guys that I'll always love, even if it means we're just friends. I just never want him out of my life."

"Do you think you guys will just stay friends then?" I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worse.

"I don't know. I'll see him later so I guess it depends on how it goes."

I tried to change the subject as we kept walking, we were almost back to the school. Thankfully Liam came and started talking to me.

"Hey you know, you never told me how you got here in the first place."

"Its.....complicated. I'm just a hot mess."

"I wouldn't say hot." he giggles and smiles at me. I just roll my eyes.

"Well, I'm having a crappy day, and you're not much of a help."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a guy."

"Oh really?"

"I really like him, but unfortunately he has a girlfriend."

"Who is it?"

"I can't tell you! He's much cooler than I am, he would never date a freak like me. I don't know why I ever thought he'd really like me."

"Well...maybe you're seeing the situation all wrong. Maybe he really does like you, he just doesn't know how to show it."

"Well, time will only tell."

We arrived at school and as we walked into the classroom, the teacher was still knocked out cold. We were only sitting for about 2 minutes at the most when she woke up by almost falling out of her chair. We were dismissed and I started walking down the hallway.

"Hey kat, wait up." Liam said.

"What's up?"

"You know that guy we were talking about earlier? Well, I just wanna throw in my opinion. He probably does really like you. You're lucky....he's lucky..anyone would be lucky to date you."

"Well thanks for the pity party but I will survive."

"No..but seriously. I bet if he didn't have a girlfriend, he'd be all over you."

Liam's really sweet and if he can see me in a good light, maybe Harry can too.

I thank him and give him a friendly hug. He pulls me in a little close then pulls back and his lips smash against mine.
