Broken

Chapter 33

[Just a heads up, this chapter switches between Dani and Harry's point of view more than once.]

Danielle's POV

London, August 3rd, 13:05 p.m.

"How do I look?", I ask my mum in our London hotel room, before I proceed to my interview.

I'm wearing a floral sundress and black pumps, which makes me look cheerful yet sophisticated. I need to play the part of acting like I belong here, which means I must dress the part as well. I disregarded wearing a pencil skirt and blouse due to the fact this isn't a job interview. Plus, I'm only eighteen, not in my twenty's or thirty's.

"Sweetie you look gorgeous", my mum beamed reviewing my outfit.

"Your mum is right, you look stunning", my dad smiles walking through our hotel room door. I can't help but giggle at the fact he was just eavesdropping on our little moment.

"Well I'm off to my interview", I pull both my mum and dad in for a hug before I witness the most anxious moment of my life.

"Good luck sweetheart, we know you'll do amazing", my mum smiles before she and my dad let go of me.

I wave them off, while grabbing my car keys and phone. I make my way down the long hallway corridor, and I notice the mechanics in this hotel aren't exactly the best. The lights are flickering, while it's dim and dreary. The atmosphere feels anything but comforting, as most hotels usually do. Let's just say my parents can't afford anything more expensive, because of my future school funds.

I finally find the elevator by running my hand along the wall, at the end of the hallway. The lift buttons aren't even lit up and I pray I hit the down arrow to get to the lobby.

My assumption must've been correct when the elevator finally stops on the main floor; or better known as the lobby.

Well I'm now officially nervous, of what comes to be in less than an hour.

Wait. Where is my interview?

Shit, my nerves are getting to me.

Right, it's in the main library which is in Building A.

Harry's POV

"I'll see you soon mum", I smile with my genuine dimples, standing in front of the library in Building A.

"Good luck Harry, you'll be fine", my mum takes a seat in front of the library's double doors.

"Thanks", I nod before taking a deep breath and then proceed in opening the doors.

Here goes nothing.

Danielle's POV

"Well here I am", I start to shake as I pull into a lot about a block away from the university. I know I'm technically not inside yet, but I'm close enough.

I silently curse myself for wearing pumps on the day I have to walk a ton. I should've worn flats, it's classy, sophisticated, and comfortable; but since I'm not one of those tall, average girls, I wanted to look taller.

I can't believe I'm about to enter Oxford University.

"This place is amazing", I gape at my surrounding view inside the university. I feel as if I'm at Buckingham Palace instead of a college. I find my way to Building A, about 5 minutes before my interview.

Outside the library is a women who looks to be in her thirty's or forty's, sitting on a suede red chair. She has dark brown hair, and looks to be waiting for someone. She hasn't noticed me yet because I haven't quite come into her eye view and plus, she's reading.

Right when she lifts her head up from the book she was indulged in, a boy about my age comes out from the library's doors.

He has chocolate curls, and is wearing a long sleeve collared shirt and khakis'. He was also sporting dark black frames upon the bridge of his nose.

Strangely he looks familiar.

He didn't look at me, but man was I swooning over him.

I can't help but think I know him somehow.
