I woke up in the morning and freshened up. I had a lovely shower and wore a nice outfit. I strolled downstairs with huge smile thinking that nothing can go wrong today because I have decided to leave everything behind and just move on. But I thought wrong, I was late to school today because clearly Meg is still mad at me. I decided to take my car but then my car for some annoying reason it wasn't starting so I literally had to run behind the bus. Then in the crowded public bus, some jerk accidentally poured his drink from Moonbucks on my shirt, this is the part where I mention that my turquoise colour bra is exposed to people through my shirt, there goes my nice outfit. When I reach the school, I step out of the bus and take a deep breath to relax myself but then the bell rings and panic arose in my whole body.

I was sprinting as fast as I could but then I bump into someone, again. I didn't really look up to see whom I bumped into so I was about to just continue sprinting until someone pulled me by my wrist.

"Dude!" I shrieked before I even noticed who it was. Well, I always bump right into this person, Harold.

"What do you want!?" I said in hurry while he examines my attire.

"Done checking me out?" I said with a glare and then turned to run away but then again he caught me but this time he is dragging me out of the school.

"Where the hell are we going!?" I yell at him while I struggle to get away from his strong grip on my wrist.

I am now standing in front of a shiny black range rover. Harold just drags me to the back of his car and open the trunk and takes out a black duffel bag.

"You are going to kill me, aren't you?" I said, with a dramatic whine.

"Please don't kill me! I beg you!" I dramatically pleaded while he just rolls his eyes.

Then he takes out a black T-shirt from his bag and hands it over to me. I look at the T-shirt and then look at him with my brows raised.

"Your lingerie is shown" He darkly stated,

"You could've just said my shirt is ruined" I said making it a big deal. He just stares at me with no expression so I give up fighting him because I really did need a new shirt. So I take the T-shirt from his hand and was about to walk when he pulls me back again.

"Now what?" I let out a sigh as I said,

"You can change in my car" he said, I suddenly feel so flustered that I literally had to hide my face.

"Umm, no. I am fine changing in the washroom." I said,

"It wasn't a request." He said sternly. For some reason the way he said it made me follow his order. I quickly get inside the car and close the doors. Thankfully the windows are covered with black tinted paper so I had no worry of Harold watching me change. After I got changed I turn around and I let out a gasp of surprise. Harold was staring at the window as if seeing right through it and watching me intently. My heartbeat started beating faster as if the only sound could be heard in the silent car is my rapid heartbeat and I suddenly started feeling so hot. I let out a sigh of relief as soon as he moved his gaze away; maybe he was just thinking something?

I quickly get out of the car and stand in front of him, he set his eyes on me and scrolls his eyes on my body making me feel uncomfortable. The T-shirt is like a dress to me so I just tucked the hem of the T-shirt inside my pants.

"You look good." He said with a heart flattering smirk.

"Tha- thanks." I said as I could feel my cheeks hot.

He runs his tongue on his lower lip to moisturise it and then pulls it between his lips then he nods to me. He turns and starts walking away, I quicken my pace to reach him and walk with him. We walk silently to the school and once we are in, we walk down the silent hallway.

I tilt my head to the left catching the sight of the side face of Harold. I examine his face and there is no flaw, it's like his face has been carved out of perfection and any flaws would look perfect on him. I lower my eyes to his lips and suddenly my lips are gone dried, so I absentmindedly moisturise my lips by running my tongue over them. Suddenly, he pulls me close to his chest and in surprise I miss my footing. For a second I thought I would be falling on the ground but Harold's strong arms swooped around my waist and back. This is the most cliché moment going on right now but it feels so right. I look into his eyes feeling lost in the dark forest and suddenly I see a slight change in them but he makes me fall right on my butt. There goes my lovely moment as my butt starts to tingle in pain. I get up and rub my butt then look at him with rage.

"You were going to hit the pole." He said with no emotions at all and just started walking. I look around and as soon as I notice the pole, my rage softens and my heart flutters. Still, staring at the pole thinking, maybe he is a good person inside. Maybe he can love someone, maybe instead of tears he can make someone really happy and maybe I am falling for someone named Harold.

The thought made me gasp in surprise and I started looking in every direction in panic hoping that nobody heard my ridiculous thought. When I see no one, I sigh in relief and look around for Harold. But as always, he was just gone again. So this time I just sigh out of an emotion I don't really know. Then comes my world crashing down as the bell rings and immediately the hallway is filled with reckless teenagers moving on to their next class.

The two awful classes got over and now is lunch time. Hearing the bells made me smile so huge that my cheeks started to hurt. At least something good came out of a day this bad. As I reached my usual place, I only see two people sitting and they look at me and smile.

"Where is Meg?" I asked the boys,

"Oh I don't know I haven't seen her all day." Joe replied and they both got into some argument while I just drift off to my planet.

The whole day passes by but I don't see any sign of my crazy best friend Meg. I have left her 15 messages to which she haven't replied yet.

I get out of the bus and walk into my house. I close the door behind me when I entered; I looked up to someone whispering.

"Where the hell were you the whole day!?" I yelled at my idiot best friend,

"Ah, here?" she said, smiling sheepishly as she plays with her hair nervously.

"Here? Then why the hell didn't you care to at least message your worried best friend!?" I yelled again in rage,

"Listen I have to tell you something very important-" she started but I cut her off,

"Oh yeah, that's right because you are mad at me for leaving the house unnoticed. Well guess what! You are not my God damn mother!" I yelled and suddenly everything went quiet.

"Can we talk about this later? I have something really important to tell you." She said with her eyes tightly closed. I could see she was controlling herself not to yell at me.

"Yeah? What could be more important-" I started off to test her patience until it went off,

"Like you are a fricking enchantress!" she yelled. I look at her with my mouth agape while she breathes heavily.

"I what?" I asked in astonishment, why would she say this shit in this heated moment?

"You are a witch honey." My mother said smiling warmly as she entered the room from the kitchen but I could see the fear inside those eyes.

I was expecting something but I definitely wasn't expecting this.
