CHAPTER FIVE

“Wait, he actually told you he couldn’t let go of the sight of you in a towel??!!” Jenna yelled and her voice echoed along the empty street.

“Stop yelling! And yeah..I don’t know what he meant though..” I told her as I fiddled with my jackets ends.

“You know what?” Jenna didn’t bother to keep her voice down. “I should be mad enough at you for showing of your body to him but right now you are confusing me, young lady!!” She was being over-dramatic.

“Okay shut up! He’s a perv anyway.” I told her. She simply flicked her golden-brown streaked hair beneath her ear and walked ahead of me.

“Okay, what did I do wrong? Why are you so pissed anyway?” I had to know.

“I don’t know! Maybe it’s because you like a guy who might just like you back! Remember that oath we took?” she suddenly seemed emotional.

The oath? Yeah, Jenna and I had taken an oath long ago which said that we wouldn’t get into relationships until after tenth grade. I know it’s lame, but we were really dumb two years ago.

I nodded and shot her a confused look. She was way out of line here. I don’t like-like Harry Styles? And since when did he like-like me? I don't even know if he liked seeing me in a towel or he felt so disgusted that he couldn’t let go of the image!

Darn it, Anna!

“Look, we don't like each other! What makes you think that!”

“We’ll see in school Anna!” Jules paced forward, leaving me behind.

“You’re being stupid! He has a girlfriend! Valery the Witch?” I shot back.

“Yeah but they’re almost on the verge of breaking up! Did you not know?” she shook her head at me, as if I was supposed to know.

I froze on my tracks and for some reason I felt good they were breaking up. Come on, if you saw them you’d know Valery was taking the life out of him. like a blood sucking leach.

“SEE SEE! You so care!” Jenna screamed right in front of school. We had reached and were just about to enter the gates.

I sighed and acted as if I did not care about them (Harry and Valery) but it was too late. I was caring about it. Did I like harry? Every girl liked him, so maybe I was just one from them. But he was the one coming over to my house and telling me he couldn’t let go of the sight of me in a towel. Was this weird? Could he really like me in a way? What the hell if Jenna was right!?

“Can we change the subject?” I told her softly. She smirked at me and put her arm around my shoulder. Yes, we could have looked gay.

“I need help for math test.” Jenna finally muttered.

I gave out a long sigh and continued walking.

The day started off with a rather easy math test but I had to show the whole of my paper to Jenna anyway. It must have even been passed among the whole class because when I got it back it was rather crumpled and torn. Then we moved on to a tiresome Physics practical where we were taught to use Vernier Callipers. I couldn’t get anything right. Jenna even broke the metallic instrument, god only knows how. Then after a boring History topic (during which I almost dozed off) we finally had lunch time. I practically ran to the cafeteria.

Harry hadn’t attended class since the first period and it was kind of distracting. I just hope he didn’t get sick eating yesterday’s cookies. Not that they were bad, he just had too many of them.  After cookies I made him learn some music and he could pick it up really fast. It was funny how he didn’t even close his music books once. Maybe he was really into it, who knows.
