“It was nothing” Harry grunts wiping the blood from his mouth.

He had took several hits to the face and his lip was bleeding.

“It was clearly something” I talk a little louder, my patience fading.

“Mia, don’t worry about it!” Harry bites back. God he can be so stubborn.

“Harry, I know I haven’t dated before but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to be honest with your girlfriend” I state.

Trying to sound as nice as possible. It was hard though because I just felt like yelling at him.

Harry sighs. “Fine, he just got on my nerves alright.”

“What did he do” I push it further.

“God, you sure like to ask a lot of questions” Harry grumbles.

“Deal with it, now answer me”

“He just said some things he shouldn’t of.” Harry reluctantly replies.

“About?”

“Just drop it Mia” He bites.

I sigh. “Fine, let me clean you up then.”

I walk over to the other side of the empty room and search through the cupboard for a first aid kit.They usually have one stored away in every class room. I find it towards the back on the top shelf. I take it out and open it up on the bench next to Harry.

I get some cotton balls and soak them in which looks like some cut cleaner. I gently dab the cut on Harrys lip, he flinches as I press on the cut. I then wipe away all the blood that remained on his face. I got more cotton balls and gently dabbed them on Harrys bleeding knuckles. I put the used cotton balls in the bin and examined Harrys face.

He had a bruise forming on his jaw line and his lip had a cut on the side of it. His knuckles had a few cuts here and there but no blood remaining.

“You’re done” I smile folding the first aid kit back up. 

“Thankyou” He grins pulling me close.

His mood changed quickly. 2 minutes ago he was being so annoying and stubborn and now he’s trying to be all cute.

“That’s why I’m here” I smile.

Harrys arm wraps around my waist, pulling me onto his chest. I wrap my arms around his neck and he pecks me on the lips. Such small contact still sent shivers through my body.

We were interrupted as the bell rang.

“Crap, I have to get to class” I giggle, rushing towards the door.

“See you at recess” Harrys winks before I leave the room.

I walked quickly through my homerooms door and re-took my seat before Mr Smith walked in. I glanced over to Sophie who was sitting next to me.


“Is everything alright?” Sophie whispers

“Yeah, typical Harry” I sigh. Sophie giggles and gives her attention back to Mr Smith.

Homeroom was over and I had to walk over to the science rooms for first period. I found a lot of people were staring at me as I was some kind of alien. I tried my hardest to ignore it. I walked past Mikey as I made my way up the stairs. His face was still pretty bloody. He glanced in my direction but quickly turned away. I ignored him as well, as I made into the science lab.

First period was over and I was walking to my usual spot with my recess in my hand. A yoghurt and an apple like always.  Just as I was about to turn the corner to meet Sophie, Harry grabbed me around the waist and pulled me towards him.
