*****

8.03am is the time. I chuck my bag in the bottom of my locker and take my books out from the top. The hallway is empty like always at this time. It's kind of creepy but weirdly relaxing without millions of schoolkids racing around. I carry my books down the long hallway into the small classroom on the end. My homeroom. 2 kids are sitting in the right corner of the room on their phones giggling away while I placed my books on the desk towards the front and sit down. I pull out my maths book and revise over last lessons work as we have a test today.

I find it hard to concentrate though as mum’s news this morning is still running through my head. Will Harry be nicer to me now that he’s going to be practically family, will he be different not around everyone. Harrys the bad boy in school, the one with all the piercings and tattoos. The one who was held back a year for failing each one of his subjects. The jerk. So how will he treat me? The few times I have encountered with him he’s been a dick. ‘Still a virgin I see Mia’ ‘whatcha doing horse face’, ‘poor Mia’s never had a boyfriend’. I could’ve punched him each time, but I wouldn’t of. I’m way too shy to stand up for myself sometimes, and I have never been in a fight before! I am awaken by my thoughts when Sophie walks into the room.

"Mia!!!" She screams

"Hey Sophie"

"Ive missed ya girl" she says sadly

"I saw you yesterday" I laugh.

"So? isnt a girl aloud to miss her best friend?" She answers sarcastically.

"I guess so"' I reply.

'I have some stuff to tell you' I admit thinking about what my mum said this morning.

"Tell me, tell me!" She squeaks

"After class" I promis as Mr smith took a seat at his desk.

"Good morning class" he chirps.

Mr smith is the best teacher, so relaxed and nice! He always knew the right things to say when students were upset.

"Good morning Mr Smith" the class blandly replys.

Home room and Period 1 are over before I know it. Recess time, or as I still call it play lunch. I guess my brain never left primary school. I grabbed my lunch out of my locker and followed Sophie to our usual spot. We sit to the side of a stair case that leads down from the year 9 corridor, its pretty cold their and it collects a lot of rubbish, but we like it. Not many people walk around this area. It was like a secret hangout to us.

"So... What did you have to tell me?'' Sophie whispers.

"Well... My mum told me this morning, that she's been seeing someone."

"As in a new partner?" She questions.

"Yeah exactly."

"And why is that so bad?"

"Because the man is Harry Styles' dad" I whisper to her.

"Harry styles? The school bad boy?"

"Yes" I sigh.

Maybe I shouldn't of told her, but she's my best friend, who else am I suppose to tell.

"Oh....well that sucks" she stutters.

"Tell me about it, they're suppose to be coming over this weekend to meet me."

"Shit. Well hopefully it will go okay." She replies.

"Yeah hopefully" I state.

Just as Sophie began to speak the bell interrupted her. Great a maths test just what I need right now.

"Well we better get going" I tell her as I start to stand.

"Yeah don't want to miss out on the maths test." She jokes as she starts to stand as well.

We begin to walk back to our lockers to grab our maths books and that's when I see him. He's green eyes make contact with mine.

"Crap!" I whisper as I try to look away, but I just can't.

He turns away first saying something to his friends and then starts to walk towards us.

"Is he coming our way?" Sophie whispers.

"I dunno, but just don't look at him." I reply quickly and turn away.

I feel a hand wrap around my waist and push me lightly into the lockers.

"What the hell get off me you creep." I blurt out surprising myself.

"Seems as though my new sister is a bit sassy." He says smirking.

"I'm not your sister!" I say through my teeth.

"Well I hope not, cause the thoughts I'm having right now would be pretty wrong if you were " He whispers into my ear.

I put my hands on his chest and push him away. He's pretty strong but I'm able to release from his grasp.

"You're disgusting." I turn around, as I walk away with Sophie.

What the hell just happened? Who does he think he is?
