Little White Lies

Chapter 4

I was finally relieved when I got to my last class. Harry had some classes with me but of course, he was talking to girls. I wouldn't say that it bothered me because I didn't even want Harry to be talking to me. He's with Danny all the time and I don't need to be around him more.

I tried to keep my mind on what my teacher was saying and copying down my notes but I kept hearing little giggles coming from the back of the room. and I knew for sure who was making those girls laugh, but I didn't dare turn around.

"Okay so class, you essay's are going to be due on next week so make sure you finish by then because this essay will count for 15% of your grade for this semester!" Mr. Day, my English teacher, said to the class.

I started to take some notes on what I wanted my essay to be about. This was one of those essays where we could write about anything. But that was the problem for me. I always needed to know what to write about instead of thinking of the topic myself. But luckily for me, I had some ideas in mind.

I had a whole page full of ideas by the time class ended. I packed up my things and when I was about to go show my list of topics to Mr. Day, Harry ran right past me and snatched the paper right out of my hands then ran out of the classroom.

"Harry!" I yelled then started to run after him. There was a reason why I didn't want Harry to read my ideas.

When I finally catches up to Harry, he was leaning on my locker and reading my list.

"Can I have that back, please?" I asked him nicely and reached for my paper.

Harry held my paper up in the air and since of my small size, it was really high that I couldn't even reach for it.

Harry just looked at me with a smirk on his face and looking at me with his marble green eyes. I just stood there looking at him and trying to get through to him with just using my eyes.

"Why are you even thinking about the essay when it's due next week?" Harry said breaking the silence but not losing eye contact and yet still holding my paper up.

"Well unlike you I like to keep my grades up and I don't mess around in class while the teacher is trying to explain about our essay that will be worth 15% of our grade." I said and just looked straight into Harry's eyes.

"Touché." Harry said with a smirk and started to lower my paper. "But I'll only give you back your paper if you go to that one blond girls party with me tonight." He said and put the paper back up in the air when I was about to grab it.

"You don't even know her name but you were talking to her the whole class period?" I said and crossed my arms.

"It doesn't matter. So is that a yes?" He said and stared down at me.

"Fine. But only because I need my paper back now or Danny will get mad at me for having him wait for me." I said and reached up for the paper.

"Okay. And by the way, I like the second one." Harry said with and wink and handed me my paper and walked off.

I looked at the paper and read the second one:

'Falling for someone or something that you know will later turn into danger.'

That was the one that I didn't want Harry to read.

..........

The whole drive home with Danny was quiet. I knew that he had a long day at work and I didn't want to bother him.

But the main thing that was on my mind was what Harry had read off of my paper. I didn't know what he had thought about it or how he took it. But the other thing I was worried about was the party. I didn't even want to go and I knew that if that blonde saw me, she would make a fool out of me and kick me out. But Harry invited and it shouldn't be that big if a deal.

When we got home, I went straight up to my room. I needed to find something to wear for the party. But then I thought that Danny wouldn't even let me step foot out of the house if he knew where I was going. Then the doorbell rang and cut me off of my thoughts.

I went downstairs to see who it was. Danny had already opened the door and let who ever it was in. I went into the kitchen where they were and no surprise, it was Harry.

"Lexi, you didn't tell me you had a study meet with Harry and Alexa tonight." Danny questioned me.

I looked at Harry who was just starring at the ground. "Umm, yea we do. They needed a little help on the essay that were doing in English." I lied and looked at Harry.

"Well as long as your doing work and be back by 11:00pm then I'm fine with it." Danny said then patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Great, I'll just grab my bag and then we can go Harry." I said to him and walked up to my room.

That was the first time I had ever lied to Danny like that. And the bad thing about it, I was going to be going out with Harry.
