Christy's POV

I finally can walk without my crutch but it still hurts a little. Walking to my locker,I put my history book in and take out the geography. Suddenly I hear someone coughing;I turn around.

It's Mark.

We stare at each other for a while. What does he want? I press my lips,waiting for him to speak.

He sighs. "I'm sorry." I still narrow. "And I have bad news for you.''

My eyes widen. Bad news? What happen to Dad and Mom's business?

"My dad found a company-"

"Oh,that." I smirk. He's playing game;then I'm in.

It's Mark's turn frowning.

"Don't underestimate the Hoovers." I say and leave-well I try to leave more seriously but my fucking leg.

I feel thrilled! Few days ago,my parents told me that they have sort of plans (though I don't know what they really mean and how they work). My parents,both of them,have good hands in business competitions,so I think I should believe they can solve this problem easily. I feel two strong arms wrapping my waist.

"Are you alright? I saw that jerk with you." Harry says. I can feel his hot breath.

"I'm good. He didn't do anything to me." I turn to him,wrapping my arms around his neck.

"What's your next class?" He says on my lips.

"Geography." I whisper. "And you?"

"English." He sighs. "My house after school?"

"Gemma left?" I ask.

"Yeah,she left yesterday." He smiles. "We talked a lot and went to lots of places." I like the way when he talks about his sister.

"That's good." The ring rings,reminding us to go to the class.

"Alright,see you later." I pull him back but he grasps my arm. I glare at him.

"I don't want to leave you." He shows his cheeky smile.

I roll my eyes. "See you later."

"Be careful." He watches me leaving.

*************

I sit at the table,dangling my leg (the one is unbroken of course).

"Ta da!" Harry yells and puts a plate on the table. There are many cookies in it.

"I bet you bought them." I smile,looking up at him.

"Hey!" He puts his hand on his chest,pretending he's hurt. "Okay I did."

I roll my eyes. Taking a bite,I notice Harry looking at me. "What?"

"Nah,nothing. You just let me remind a person." He shakes his head slowly,looking at the table now.

"Oh. I have a public face,I think." I shrug. He doesn't say anything just keeps eating the cookies.

"So,you're interested in fashion design?" I change a topic.

He smiles. "Yeah."

"Like a stylist?" I ask. We never talk about what we like exactly.

"Sort of." He nods and looks at me.

"Stylist Styles." I say. He giggles at my lame joke.

"What about you?" He asks.

"Well,I want to be a DJ." I smile shyly. Harry narrows. "What?" I raise my eyebrows.
