Carter

Last night, Harry dropped me off back at my place after we sat and talked for hours on end. I ended up coming home at 11PM and my parents were obviously not that happy about it, but I could tell that they held the tiniest bit of excitement, since I hadn't left the house to do things other than going to school in a long time.

It was a Wednesday afternoon and I was sat on a small bench reading, as usual. Harry asked if I wanted to come and sit with his friends at lunch time, promising that they wouldn't say anything anymore. But Peyton was still going to be there so I decided not to, I didn't want to get into an argument with the wickedest witch of the school right now.

"Mind if I join you?" I looked up and saw Harry's tall figure. I smiled and moved over, giving him room to sit down.

"I thought you were sitting with your other friends?" I questioned as he pulled out his phone.

"They got boring and I figured why not go to the most entertaining girl I know?" Harry said, a smirk plastered on his face.

"I'm not that entertaining..."

"You are to me Carter Jones." I felt a thousand butterflies erupt in the pit of my stomach, a blush crept upon my face. I always have these weird moments when Harry would say sweet things and I would always get these mixed feelings. He has a girlfriend and I don't want that kind of relationship with anyone anyway. "So am I coming to your place tonight?"

I looked up at him. I do not want him coming over to my house! Especially since my room is the most sacred thing to me. If he see's my room it will completely blow my cover of being a boring girl with no friends. "Why would you want to come to my place?"

"Well since you came to my house, it's my turn to go to yours." He explained. What have I gotten myself into? I never really thought about the facts and figures of this deal between me and Harry, I only thought about the fact that we wouldn't have to talk to each other ever again once the project is over. But I didn't want to stop talking to Harry, this was becoming the start of a new friendship and as much as I'll hate myself for it, I don't want to let this friendship between us go.

"Can't we just go to your place again?" I practically begged. He gave me a strange look and chuckled.

"Carter, this was part of the deal. Besides, what's so bad about your house anyway?"

"I wouldn't expect you to know..." I mumbled and gathered my things together.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked.

"Away from you Harry! I can't think straight when you're here nagging me on whether you can come to my house or not. The answer is NO Harry, I don't want you coming to my house!" I snapped and stormed off into the main school building, leaving a confused Harry.

I didn't mean to get pissed at him. He was just annoying me. I know that coming over to each others houses was part of the deal but he can't expect me to give into him so easily, especially since I have just overcome my dark days of depression and he's the only person I'm actually trying to let into my life even though I specifically promised myself to not make any friends at this new school.

I was really stressed out and completely over thinking everything that came into my head. then I remembered the diary Doctor Anne told me to write. I decided to look for a quiet area to write down my thoughts. I ended up going to the only tranquil place I could think of at an average high school. The library.
