Discovering Me

Chapter 15-Caught Red Faced

I hadn't slept properly in days since the incident ,all I thought about was Harris, and not in that way, he seriously had a problem. I got out of bed and got ready to go down stairs, it was the first day of half-term so I assumed mum had made me pancakes. I did my morning routine. I brushed my teeth as I heard my phone buzz, it was Harris, I rinsed my mouth, hesitantly I picked up the phone, what was going on with this boy, why was he obsessed with me, was he ever sober, he was seriously going to get a telling off next time we met, I stared at my lock screen ,it was one in the afternoon, had I really slept that long? I stared at myself in the mirror and groaned at the sight of my bed head tangled curly hair, it looked like a mop. I sighed at the string of messages Harris had sent, forget double texting, he'd sent me the same message in different formats at least ten times in the past hour.

Harris🐼:I'm going to this award show this week, hoped you could come.

Harris🐼:Sorry about last night by the way.

Harris🐼:I've already asked ur parents if that's the problem?

Harris🐼: I just got off the phone talking to them, they said u were sleeping, Reya's going btw.

Harris🐼:I'm sorry again about the whole thing last night. 

Harris🐼:I need to talk to u.

Me:okay I'll come with you, I'll ask Reya for the details.

Harris🐼: ur going to be my +1 

Me:but not like a date 

Harris🐼: if that's what u want 

Me: K

I ran downstairs, had my breakfast while simultaneously telling my mum and granna about Harris and this award show that I was going to, I think it was Arab Fashion Week because Reya had been going on about it all last week trying to distract me and Abby from the night at the haunted apartment, she did try her best, her plus one was obviously Armaan who Abby now despised and so did Aleesa and Jasmine, I didn't really know what to think of him.

Anyways, Reya was going to take us shopping today, because all of us hate it so she had to drag us there, I quickly got ready grabbing a jumpsuit because I was too lazy to pair two pieces of clothing together and I wasn't a fashion mastermind like Reya either, I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs, as I quickly said salam to the family, I then rushed to Abby's house where her mum greeted me, she then told me about her business trip in Greece which sounded fantastic, she was an architect and at one point I wanted to be one too.

"HI GUYS" screamed Abby as ran down the stairs, she was at least double the size of her mother around 6'2.

"Abby be careful okay and don't buy everything you lay your eyes on and have lunch if you're going to be late" she told her as she gave her a hug, she was way more protective than my mum, but sort of the same.

"Should we go to Reya's house or town?" Asked Abby.

"Town, she'll meet us there"

We met Reya in town and because we decided on getting a chocolate milkshake from our favourite little cafe, who did all sorts of baked goods, it was Jasmine's mother's cafe, The Three Broomsticks,  it looked very Harry Potter-esque, considering how many potter heads were around here, some in literal wizard robes, this was a very popular place, one of my favourites.

We grabbed our milkshakes and headed out, and sat down on some benches as it was really sunny, which rarely happened in Britain.

"It's so sunny and warm" stated Reya.
