GRETCHEN's POV
Confused.
That’s a good word to describe me. I’m so confused.
Harry has kissed me about three times, and tells me I’m beautiful, and gives me all these beautiful words of encouragement.
Does he like me?
Of course, Harry is Harry Styles. That’s how I know him. But he doesn’t seem like Harry Styles; he seems like any guy that I’d casually go to class with . . except flawless. In the grocery store before, I felt like there were actual sparks. We were goofing off, calling each other with the bananas, using the watermelons and cantaloupes as if they were bongos, using the shopping carts to race up and down the aisles- I’ve never done any of those things before.
I’ve never . . . enjoyed life like this before.
Who care about Cerebral fucking Palsy?! I’m having the time of my life with Harry Styles.
We bantered endlessly on our walk back to the theatre with some extra snacks for the ‘gang’.
At corners, I find myself completely losing myself in those captivating green eyes, or feeling all warm and gooey like melted cheese inside whenever I get a glance at his soft lips.
What is with me?!
He probably doesn’t even like me, yet I’m falling for him in a high-school-crush-way, rather than looking at this in an oh-my-gosh-celeb-hottie-way. Even if that’s so, if I’m going to basically be living with him, I’ll have to look past the celebrity anyways.
Harry and the boys had to run off and do something, and left me with Zoe backstage at the theatre. They’ll be back in no more than an hour or so.
As Zoe munched on carrots and nutella, I sat on the sofa, surfing my facebook on my iPhone. Once logged in, I have thirty-four notifications. Majority of them are from
Ashley, Kate and their little group of bullies.
I click on them one by one; all saying something meaner than the next.
Ashley Flicker- 2 bad that we caught u. u’d have loved to get some alooonneee time with harry styles huh? well wake up cus he’d nevr actully like u. hes perfect n ur crippled. probly y he felt like he had 2 save u. when u come back i swear ill knock ur guts right outta u.
Kate Green- u got some real fucking nerve to show up 2nite. get back in the closet wher u belong mcstubby. shouldve run off w u girls while we had the chance. cnt wait 4 u 2 get back to school. warning- its gonna be hell.
And the wall posts went on and on. It was like they were ranting about every possible flaw they could find. It hurts. It really does. I felt my eyes water. I didn’t cry, but I felt like all the pressure of the world was soaking in my eyes. I didn’t know what to do. I called Dylan.
Two rings.
“Gretchen?” his mid-toned, bouncy voice filling the speakers.
“DYLAN.” I practically yell, just wishing he could be sitting here next to me. Not in a boyfriend way, best friend way.
“I heard about you and Zoe.” he said, his voice changing from bubbly to freaked out.
“What’d you hear, exactly?” I say, voice stiffening. It’d be awkward if he knows about how Harry saved me, and is giving me the chance to live with him. Afterall, I think he still likes me.
“Well I heard you got the shit knocked out of you.” he jokes. “Damnit I feel so bad I wasn’t waiting outside there, I could’ve helped you guys.”
