Who Won The Girl (Harry Styles)

Chapter 36

[Ross' P.O.V]

I'm so fed up. Of everything. Molly's still avoiding me. I just want to know one thing, why? I'm happy enough to accept she doesn't like me, well not really, but it's better than being absolutely clueless. I fix my eyes on Molly as she raises her hand to answer the maths equation. 

''Well done.'' The teacher praises her. ''You're the only one who got that!'' 

Rubbish. I was too busy thinking. I could've known the answer to that. 

''Thank you.'' She smiles, slightly nudging her friend on her left. ''Can't wait to tell Josh about this!''

Josh. It's that guy. To be fair, his hair is a much more lighter brown than mine, and his eyes were much nicer than mine, and his watch was a classic Rolex one. I can't compete with any of that, especially the watch, I practically spent all my life savings  on a telescope, that Harry tripped over and broke. 

I can't get my head round the whole concept. He doesn't even go to our school. How in the hell did she meet him? She didn't even have time with all the recommended books and puzzles I have given her.

The bell dismisses us, and I make my way home. I'll stop by the coffee shop, I need a nice relaxing, hot bevarage. I don't realise im over thinking the situation until im interupted by Mai. 

''Hellooo?'' She asks again, waving her hands in my face.

''Oh sorry.'' I say slightly annoyed.

''It's alright. What are you thinking about?'' She walks fast to keep up with my quick pace. 

''Nothing really.'' I lie. 

''Oh, come on.'' She rolls her big brown eyes. ''I know we don't talk anymore, but I'm still here to talk.'' It's true. We haven't spoken ever since she stormed off from the pathway.

''You'll get mad at me.'' I admit. I've realised Mai's anger towards me ever since I met Molly. It was quite weird to have someone be 'jealous', I wasn't used to that. Especially because nothing went on between Mai and myself.

''I won't. Talk.'' She rushes her words.

''You sure?'' I sigh.

''Positive. Go on.'' She demands again.

 ''Well,'' I fidget with my fingers. ''just as I thought we were getting on really well, she finds someone else. And, well, It just hurts to think I've been replaced so quickly.''

''Like you did to me?'' Mai raises her eyebrow, there wasn't any humour evident on her face.

''W-what?'' I stutter.

''You explained exactly what you did to me.'' She repeats again. ''I don't let things slip, Ross, just think about that.'' With her words, she takes a different direction to the next road.

I don't let things slip, Ross, just think about that.

[Harry's P.O.V]

''Harry, why didn't you tell me?'' Alexis asks.

''I didn't want it to hurt your feelings, baby.'' I admit. I know for a fact that Ross' little plan to make us upset will make her uncomfortable.

''Honestly,'' She rests her arms on the table. ''I don't know whether to be angry at you or sad because I was so ignorant to you.'' 

My face relaxes slightly at her usual thoughtful and caring behaviour and she immediately notices.

''I'm more angry at you.'' She comes to a decision and purses her lips together.

''Okay, I'm sorry.'' I sigh. ''Mai just can't keep her mouth shut.''
