The boy at school

Chapter 4

        "Y-yeah, sure," I say. I can't really say no because 1, that would be rude,and 2, it would be really awkward.

"Thanks," Harry says as he sits down next to me with his lunch. "You looked lonely so I came over here." 

"I wasn't lonely, I don't mind being alone," I say confidently.

"Oh, s-so do you want me to leave?" Harry asks sadly, but looks a little sarcastic at the same time.

"Oh, wait, n-no, I didn't mean-" I was cut off by Harry smirking then laughing.

"I know what you mean," he says after laughing. I crack up a little.

        "So do you have any brothers or sisters?" he asks me.

"I have one older sister named Jane, what about you?" I say taking a spoonful of yoghurt right afters I say that.

"I have an older sister name Gemma. I live with Gemma, my mom, and my stepdad," says Harry, counting with his fingers, even though he doesn't need to, obviously.

"I live with my sister and my mom," I say. 

"What about your dad?" asks Harry curiously, but the way he looks after that, I can tell he regretted asking that. 

"My mom and dad got a divorce when I was about 5 and he moved somewhere and I haven't seen him since, but I don't mind because I wasn't that close to him back then; I'm just happy I have my sister and my mom," I explain, kind of feeling uncomfortable talking about this.

  "Oh," says Harry, looking at the cafeteria floor.

        The rest of lunch we talked about our future college. We also talked about what we want to study and what job we want when we are adults. It was actually really interesting. He is really smart and is super nice.

Next thing we know, lunch is over.

        The rest of the day was normal. But in math I was signaled by my group of friends-Carly, Brenna, and Alana- to go talk after class.

Once class ended we all went straight to my locker. They all had their eyebrows narrowed and were staring at me.

"So?!" Brenna said to me, looking at the girls then to me.

"So what?" I asked confused.

"Are you and Harry, like, a thing??"

"What?! No!" I said, even more confused than them.

"Then why were you hanging out with Harry at lunch?" asked Alana.

"Because he wanted to talk to me, gosh how is talking bad?"

"Okay, but y/n, just remember that Harry is a player. Don't blame us if you get hurt," says Brenna. I feel like I wanna punch her. Sometimes she can get on my nerves.

"I said we aren't a thing!" I whisper a little too loudly.

There was a long silence between everyone. This wasn't even a big deal, so I don't understand why they are making a big deal. I guess they are trying to lookout for me 'somehow.' But it's annoying.

"Well, we should get ready for our next class. We'll see you later."

They both leave except for Carly. She looks back and gives a confused look at the girls. We both laugh. I'm glad she understands.

"Don't listen to them, do what you wanna do."

Carly is a great friend and she totally understands me.

"Well, I should go get ready for the next class. I'll text you later," says Carly.

"Okay, bye," I say back to her as she walks away to her locker.

        The rest of the day went by slowly. I just wanted to get home and eat food and then just go to sleep. But I had tons of homework, of course.

Once I got home I literally ran to the fridge and looked for my leftovers. I was mad to see that they weren't there. Dammit Jane. She ate it for her lunch. She always eats my food.

"Jane, what happened to my chicken wings?"

"Well I think my pet llama Gerald ate it," said Jane. She can be so weird and random most of the time.

So I just got some ice cream and started my homework.

~~~~

Once I finished my hours of homework, I saw that I got a text from Brenna. Great.

Brenna: I'm sorry if I made you mad today. I didn't mean to.

Well at least she apologized.

Me: It's fine don't worry about it.

Brenna: So we're good?

Me: We're good.

After texting Brenna I realized how tired I was and I slept for about one hour.

When I woke up it was about 7:00. Mom should be home soon. But I just got a text from my mom.

Mom: I don't know if Jane got my text but I'm going to be getting home around 8:30. I'm working an extra hour and I can already tell that there is traffic. Dinner is in the fridge. Just heat it up.

I went downstairs so I could eat dinner. When I was walking down the stairs I heard Jane coughing so much, I started to get scared. I ran down and looked what happened. She is literally so stupid. She was doing the cinnamon challenge just because her friend dared her to on FaceTime. She also coughed cinnamon right in my face. She burst out laughing then coughing. My lord. About five minutes later we were heating up our dinner.

After dinner I went on my phone and saw that Harry had followed me on Instagram. He had pictures of his friends and family. He didn't have any pictures of girls, which was weird because I thought Brenna said that Harry was a "player."

Later on, it was already about 12:00 so I went to bed.
