"Who was that?" Joe's voice asks from behind me, the second after I had closed the door on Harry.
I contemplated whether or not to tell Joe the truth, I then decided against it.
"Just a friend," I reply, with a shrug of my shoulders, as if it isn't a big deal. I begin to walk up the stairs to go to my bedroom when Joe speaks.
"Just a friend?" Joe repeats what I had said, I knew that he didn't believe me. "What's his name?"
"Um...Liam." I say. Liam was the first name that popped into my head, knowing that Joe would probably become suspicious if I told him that his name was Harry.
I then run up the stairs to my room, avoiding any other questions from Joe. Closing my door, I grab my phone off of my bedside table, seeing that there is one new message from Rosa.
"Shopping after school tomorrow? I need to get a new dress for a party...Thanks for abandoning me today :(" The text reads. My mother would let me go shopping, only because it's Rosa. My mother see's Rosa as a saint, she obviously doesn't know that Rosa goes to parties every weekend. If my mother knew that, she would probably make me move school.
"Sure. I forgot to tell you that Joe would be picking me up, sorry" I reply. It seems like I am lying to everyone today. I just don't want to tell anyone about Harry, I know that they will disapprove of him.
School on Tuesday drags by slowly. Surprisingly, none of the teachers asked me why I left the detention early the day before. I was hoping to see Harry in maths, having no such luck. There was no sign of him at school at all, I wondered where he could be. I guess that he did used to be part of this 'gang', obviously he has some type of 'bad guy' image.
"You've been quiet all day, something up?" Rosa asks, at the end of the school day. I'm quick to shake my head at Rosa's question. Maybe not seeing Harry does have an effect on me, the worst thing is that it shows. We are walking towards her little car, it feels like I am the only person in my school year that doesn't drive yet.
"I'm fine...So who's party is it this time?" I ask, changing the subject even though I could not care less who's party it is. It's not like I will be going anyway.
"Damon's," Rosa replies, smiling as she says his name. She has a crush on him, its really obvious. I wonder how long this crush will last, Rosa's not the type of person that likes the same person for more than a couple of weeks.
"Do you even know anything about him, other than how 'hot' he is?" I ask, testing Rosa a little. I can bet that she knows nothing about his background life, well I'm not sure that anyone at school does, apart from the 'gang'.
"Well, he's beautiful, you know, the dark and mysterious type, he has these really nice lips...Oh, and he has a lot of tattoos." Rosa informs me. Surely anyone could say that about Damon if they met him. I roll my eyes.
I begin to wonder if Harry would turn up at the party, he did last week. He probably won't again.
We arrive at our local shopping centre, there aren't really that many good shops here if I'm honest. I don't really enjoy shopping with Rosa, it mostly consists of me following her around while she tries on every outfit in every shop, she occasionally attempts to make me try on an outfit, mostly always a very slutty outfit, I always disagree.
"How cute is this?" Rosa exclaims, holding up a very tiny, black dress to her perfectly shaped body. Cute would not be the word to describe it.
"Uh, yeah, its nice..." I say, not wanting to disagree with Rosa. I guess that this dress isn't as worse as some others Rosa has worn at previous parties.
