Pt 10

Age 14

"Esme,wait up!"

"Oh..hey,Zach." She grins,clutching onto her books. He had the same boyish grin he always had,nerves erupting in his stomach as the question danced on his tongue.

"So..I have a game tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go?"

"Can I bring Harry?" She asked,clueless as to what Zach really wanted.

"I thought it could be a date and that we could go out afterwards?"

"I..harry and I are sort of..a thing? I-I'm sorry,Zach."

"I understand. You're still invited..a couple weeks ago you went to one of my games and we won..it's kind of a conspiracy of mine now."

"You're my friend..of course ill be there for you."

"Congratulations,Zach! I'm so proud of you!" Esme giggles,taking the older boy by surprise and,hugging him. He calms into her embrace,hugging her back tightly. Harry was right next to Esme,watching Esme with jealous eyes. Harry and Esme weren't dating but she felt obligated to tell him. She felt bad. Harry adored her,she knew this,and she couldn't let him down. She kind of liked him but she kind of liked Zach and then there was Zayn.

"See,I told you,you're my good luck charm. I knew we'd win." He says,pecking Esme's cheek sweetly. She blushes,her cheeks turning a red color.

"You're the quarterback,this win was on you,not me."

"Did the win convince you to change your mind? There's a party tonight but I'll ditch.." He whispers into her ear. Harry was fuming with anger. Esme noted that Harry thought of her more as an object than a person. That's the only thing she didn't like. He was also jealous,which was cute sometimes,but other times bothersome.

"Um..Harry there's a party tonight,do you feel like going?"

"So I can see him flirt with you? And kiss you? And practically eye fuck you?" Harry yells,his temper showing.

"Harry,we are not dating. You are not mine and I'm not yours..I wish you'd just let me go. I want to be your friend and that's all. You used to be so sweet..what-what happened to you?"

"You happened,Esme. You drive me insane but I still want you."

"Well I don't. I'm going to that party whether you like it or not,Hazza."

REMEMBER She skipped two grades so she's a sophomore. She doesn't want her highschool life to be just studying,she wants to go to parties but hasn't been able to because of Harry.
