Glass Wall

Chapter 25

During lunch I sit with my friends. They talk together but I'm thinking about something else.

"Jules?" Bryelle asks.

"Ya?" I ask turning towards her.

"Are you okay?" She asks quietly.

"Ya ya I'm fine." I say smiling at her.

I've been distracted thinking. Harry seemed to really argue with Taylor and it seemed to me he was talking about more than just her relationship.

He said that she should ask his side but what is there to ask? I saw. Didn't I? Amy warned me that whenever Jane wants, she starts hooking up with Harry. She said that he doesn't mind either.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

Jasmine pokes my arm smiling.

"Come let's take your mind off whatever you're thinking about. Your face looks pained." She says grabbing my arm and pulling me.

We go to my locker to get my things. Jasmine hears her name being called.

"I'll be right back." She says before running off.

Someone walks up behind me. When I turn around, I half expect it to be Harry.

"Jace?" I question. "What's up?"

"Hey Jules, how are you?" He asks smiling.

"I'm okay. You?" I ask in return.

"Great now that I'm talking to you." He says. I half smile at him turning to my locker to grab my textbook.

"Is that your favourite colour?" He asks pointing at my binder.

"Oh, no." I say.

"Oh because your binder and your bag are the same colour." He explains.

"No her favourite colour is blue but the colour sunset orange has grown on her." Someone with a deep voice says. I whip my head around to find Harry standing next to Jace.

"You going to ask her out yet?" Harry asks with a strained voice.

"Well I um..." He stutters.

"Man don't bullshit with her she doesn't like that." He says roughly.

"And I know you were thinking of taking her to a movie or something... typical." He says shaking his head. I completely turn my body glaring at Harry.

"Harry..." I warn him. He doesn't look at me.

"She likes being competitive. Did you know she plays soccer?" He questions him.

"I..." Jace says.

"Don't make a fool out of yourself now." Harry says smirking at him.

"Oh and a tip." Harry says putting his hand on Jace's shoulder.

"She likes the chase." He says.

What chase?

"Jace." He says nodding at him. He turns his head towards me and gives me an emotionless stare.

He turns around and walks away.

I walk home alone. The walk feels faster than usual. I don't pay attention to where I'm going, I just walk. When I reach my house, a car is in the driveway.

I walk into the house and look around.

"Jules is that you?" My mum calls from the kitchen.

I take off my coat and shoes and walk in the kitchen.
