“Mia?” Mum opened the door a little as she called my name.

By now I had moved myself over to my bed and was tucked under the blanket. I had my laptop on my legs and I was scrolling through my tumblr dashboard.

“Yeah? Come in mum” I called, silently hoping she wasn’t going to make me get out of bed.

“Is everything alright?” She asks, trying to walk around my shopping bags scattered across the floor.

Zeus bolts in behind her and jumps on my bed.

“Yeah, I’m just not feeling the best” I lie, giving Zeus a pat on the head.

In reality I’m actually just overwhelmed on what’s happened today, but I definitely was not telling mum about that.

“Well I will get some Panadol” She says smiling.

“What made you think something was wrong?” I curiously ask.

“Well, for one, you haven’t come out of your bedroom since you got home and two, Zeus has been sitting outside your door and you haven’t let him in” She smiles walking towards the door. 

Mum knows me so well. Whenever I’m upset I always forget to let Zeus in my room and he just silently waits for me outside my door.

“Sorry Zeus” I say giving him a rough pat on his head as he extends his body over my bed.

“I will be back in five with Panadol and water” She smiles as she leaves the room.

I’ve been so into my own thoughts and tumblr that I have forgotten to call Sophie. I finally decide to get out of my bed and search for my phone. I can’t seem to find it, in my mess of all my bags. Then it hits me. “No, no, no, no” I whisper to myself as I frantically look round my stuff. I took my phone out in Harry’s car to look at the time and decided to keep holding it. But then we kissed, and I must’ve dropped it as I pulled away. Great, my iPhone is now in Harry styles’ hands. Plus it doesn’t have a passcode on it. I secretly curse myself for not putting a lock on it and climb back into bed. How am I supposed to get it back now?

The rest of the day goes quick and tomorrow starts the school week. Harry was absent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday which left me 3 days without a phone. But also gave me time to think without him clouding my thoughts. I had told Sophie everything about what happened and how he had my phone captive.

She told me about how she and Luke had gone to the movies Monday night and that she really fancies him. It weird how Sophie and I start having boy troubles I guess you could call them, at the same time.

Thursday it was and I was actually hoping Harry was here today so I could get my phone back. I don’t know about you but I have never gone this long without my phone. Especially while I know whose hands it’s in.  Lunch had arrived and Harry’s ‘gang’ of friends had taken their seats at their usual spots. Sophie and I were making our way to the usual spot until I spotted harry walking towards his seat. My phone, I automatically thought as my feet carried me towards him.

“Give me my phone” I bravely say in front of all his friends.

“What is she doing at our table” CC says sitting opposite from where I was standing.

Zayn puts his arm around her shoulder to calm her down a bit.

“She’s Harry’s step-sister” Zayn tells CC as she death stares me.

Zayn leans over to examine her face and pushes his lips onto hers. Umm okay then? They passionately hook up as I turn back to harry.

“I’m not his step-sister, now Harry give me my phone” I request again, now looking down at the curly head boy.

He looked up smirking at me. “Where’s you manners sis?” He chuckled

“I am not your sis” I hiss back at him.

“Whoa, chill out” Marnie calls from the other end of the table.

“Seriously” I growl, death staring Harry as he grins up at me.

“Fine” He sighs sarcastically, taking my phone out of his pocket.

I snatch it out of his hand before he pulled away and walked back over to Sophie. She was standing there with her mouth in an O shape.

“Someone’s confident” She whispers as we walk away.

“I had to do something” I say feeling pretty proud of myself.

We sit at our usual spot and I examine my phone. Nothing had changed, except I had a new contact. Harry Styles it says in capital letters.

“Great” I whisper. My phone vibrates in my hand.

From HARRY STYLES:

Meet me at the back of the oval, 4th period xx

Meet him? During last period? Skip class? I can’t help thinking this is a horrible idea, but something leads me to going. I want to hear is explanation on why he keeps doing all this stuff. But I have never skipped class before!

The bell goes and I tell Sophie I will meet her at her locker after fourth period. I start to walk over to my locker to grab my books for class. Should I go to the oval to meet Harry, or should I go to class?
