Who Won The Girl (Harry Styles)

Chapter 23

Song of the chapter: Don't let me go- Harry Styles.

[Harry's P.O.V]

''Hey babe.'' Mai smiles, linking her arm with mine.

''Let go of me.'' I say through gritted teeth, pulling my arm away, but it only makes her smirk more.

''You don't need to hide anymore. Since, you know, you and Alexis broke up.''

''We haven't broken up!'' I walk away, attempting to end the conversation. I think we haven't anyway.

''Really?'' She raises one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows. ''She told me she was done trying.'' 

My brain suddenly freezes. I ignored what she said now, and it hits me what she said a few moments ago.

''Wait..hide what? You don't think I'm..gay do you?'' I finally realise why Ross calls me stupid all the time. If she thought I was gay she clearly wouldn't think I was interested in her. I mentally facepalm.

''No. That makes no sense anyway, Harry.'' She narrows her eyes at my stupidy.

''Well what then? I'm not hiding anything.''

''Well..I thought, I thought that you liked me?'' She heavily sighs, no trace of her confidence was evident.

''No. Hell, if I did, i'd tell you. What's with everyone thinking im such a player?'' I'm now yelling in the middle of the school corridors.

''Styles, save your social life to after school and get to class.'' The teacher snaps, walking past me until the sound of her heels clicking on the ground start to fade. Teachers are literally so miserable, but I understand. Who would want to teach a bunch of rude teenagers and have to mark work most of the time? Nobody.

''I'm not saying you're a player, it's just, Ross he- nevermind.'' Mai quickly says, regretting her words. Exactly, she does think I'm a player.

''What? Tell me. What about Ross?''

''Nothing, I just want to blame him but he hasn't done anything.'' She fidgets with the her necklace. 

''Im sorry.'' Her voice cracks, her speed walk soon turns into a run into the female toilets.

''Class, you need to get into pairs for this project.'' Mr.Brett announces. Everyone shuffles around the small classroom, trying to find their partner. 

I glance over at Alexis and she runs over to Ross, giving him a warm smile. He smiles back in comfirmation that they'll be working together. This whole thing was annoying me. She promised not to talk to him, but here she is, talking to him. This day reminds me of Alexis' first day at this school. Ross stealing my spotlight all the damn time. 

I look over to Mai. Her eyes red and puffy, they meet mine for a second, before looking away. She hates me too, now. 

''Who hasn't got a partner?'' Mr.Brett shouts over the noise of the classroom. I was shamefully the only one to raise my hand. Everyones eyes were fixed on me. Well what the hell are they looking at?

I was so grumpy without Alexis. She somehow seemed to know when I was feeling down. I know what I need, though. A good old chat with Louis. 

''Harry you can just work as a group with your brother. I'm sure you both get along very well.'' I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not, but I'm dreading this either way. It's like being the third wheel, except not. 

[Alexis' P.O.V]

The biology lesson was long and awkward. I felt Harry's eyes on me throughout the whole fifty minutes. As much as I wanted to just crack a joke, I can't. I know how much it would make him laugh but he's not getting things his own way. He was already flirting  with Mai earlier, he moves on so fast it's almost funny.
