Justin's POV
I woke up and quickly took a bath. I'm going to talk to Selena and ask for forgiveness. I'm going to pick her up. I wore my clothes then arranged my bag getting ready for school. I went downstairs and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. I cooked bacon and pancakes. I quickly eat it then grabbed my keys, went inside and locked the door. I started my car's engine and drove into Selena's house. After I reached Selena's house, I went out of my car and heard an argument inside Selena's house. Not being out of privacy but I can't help but to eavesdrop. I quickly went near the door to hear the argument. "Dad! You know I can't do that!" A girl said and I think that must be Selena. "It's for your own good." A man said that I supposed his father. "For my own good dad? Really? Wow. I can't believe that's good to marry a boy you never loved." Selena said. Wait. Marry a boy? What does she mean. "This talk is done Sel. You'll marry her even though you like it or not." Her dad said. "I won't. All you did was to control me. I'm not free you know. I respect, listen and follow what you wanted. But now, not. I'm in love with someone else. And I want to marry the man I love." "And who's the person you love?" "Justin." Wait. She loves me? She loves me! "Do you think he loved you back? No. At least the boy you'll marry will never leave you." "Who knows maybe that boy loves someone else. And Justin loves me. I know that." "You never know Selena. Do you even know the boy you're going to marry?" "Of course not. How would I know if you didn't tell me before?" "He's your classmate. The boy you're going to marry is Harry Styles." Harry?! What?! "H- Harry?!" "Yeah." "Harry has a girlfriend do you how much you'll hurt his girlfriend?! You're not thinking. All you care for is yourself. You're smart but you're not using your brain." "Hey watch you-" I ended eavesdropping 'cause I can't take it anymore. She's arranged to marry Harry. The one and only Harry Styles. Harry is rich. Not like me. I can't give Selena money like Harry. I can't be rich like him.

I quickly went back to my car and started driving. I can't believe she love me. I can't believe her dad is like that. I know if she'll love me she can't get a good life. Not like when she's with Harry. What am I thinking? Ugh. It's really hard to be rich. At least I'm just an average boy. I can't believe that rich families and rich teenagers are not happy in their life even though they're rich. Maybe money can't really buy happiness as they said. I feel bad for Selena. But if she love me, I love her more. I'm ready to fight for her. Because somehow, that's love. But the question is, does Harry know about this? Does he know?

Selena's POV
"Sweetie where are you going?" Mom asked. I get my bag and car keys. "I'm going to school. Getting away with my selfish father who go back to our house just to ruin my day because of that arranged marriage." I said rudely in front of my mom and dad. "Watch you mouth Selena!" Dad said. Can he just please shut up? I ignored him and went outside of our house and started driving my car. Yeah. I love Justin. But I don't know if he love me back. But, does he know? Does Harry know about this stupid arrange marriage thing? I feel sorry for Kendall. She don't deserve this. After few minutes, I reached our school, parked my car and went inside the campus. "Selena!" I turned around and saw Taylor. "Hi Tay." I said and fake smiled. "Everything okay?" She asked. "Oh. Yeah of course." "Okay. Come on. Let's go to our class together." I nod then walked with her. Then I saw the girls and looked at me in a warning face. Then, I remembered what they said. 'Stay away from Taylor. She's being friendly to someone when she needs something from them.' I smiled at the girls then they smiled back.

Both of us went inside the class and saw Harry. He's in the class. Maybe I can talk to him about if he knows the arrange marriage thing. When he saw me, he waved at me and I waved back. "Hey Sel. Wanna seat with me?" Harry asked. "Well if Tay-" "It's okay. Seat with him. I'm fine." "You sure?" "Yeah." I nodded then sat beside Harry. I know this is the right time but it's really bugging me. "Harry?" "Yeah?" "I know this isn't the right time but... Do you know the arrangement?" "About what?" "Marriage?" "Oh. Yeah I know." "You knew?! But why you kept acting like this?! Aren't you mad at them? How about your relationship with Kendall huh?" "I have no choice Selena. I have no choice but to obey them." "But you love Kendall. You should fight for her." "I have no choice! What do you want me to do? Ask my parents for me to be free the girl I love?! Do you think they'll listen? No! They will not listen to us!"

     I stared at him, shock that he began raising his voice on me. His eyes are not green like it used too. This time, it's black. "I- I'm so sorry Sel. I didn't mean-" "It's okay Harry. I understand." "It's just... Do we have a choice? I can't runaway because I know they'll find me. And I love my parents. I never disobeyed them." "I understand Harry. But If you love Kendall, fight for her. Don't be weak. Fight the right way." "I will. Thanks Sel." He kissed my cheek and the girls send me death glares. Duh. I don't like Harry. Could they please stop sending me death glares? The teacher went inside the classroom and started teaching.
