Sorry for not updating for so long x                         Also, my youtube: JustSof

I notice people shooting me strange looks as I rush past them in the hallways, skimming edges and avioding corners. My running halts to a walk as I gather myself and straighten out the skirt I have on and approach the glass doors of the common room. The bell rings moments after and all the students proceed to leave, apart from one.

I spot Simon sitting on one of the bean bags int he corner of the room, per usual, as I begin to approach him. I tower in front of him and block the light from hitting his face, making him instantly look up. He huffs and slumps even farther into the bean bag, returning to his phone.

"Simon."

"Cara," he says without looking up from his phone. I roll my eyes and snatch it from his hands, leaving it on one of the tables on the side.

"What do you want?" He stands up and reaches for the iten but I block his way.

"To talk."

"About?"

"Her."

This instantly gets his attention.

"What about her?"

"Long story short, she was making out with Chip."

"Pff, yeah right," he snorts and sits back down. "Chip's got a girlfriend - Gee. Haven't you heard?"

"Simon, I'm serious."

"So am I." 

"Simon, listen here. Harry and I were out and-"

"You two were out? Since when are you two 'out'?" He furrows his eyebrows and swings one leg over the other and leans forward in confusion.

"We aren't 'out', Simon, and we never will be. That's besides the point. Anyway, we both saw, with our very own two eyes, Kirsty and Chip making out. I'm not joking you right now. It was in the park near my house, really late at night, and they were sat on the benches and..and yeah." I tell him, crossing my arms in the process. He seems to gather the information as he bites the inside of his bottom lip.

"Liar," he clenches his teeth.

Taken aback from his words, I look him up and down. "Excuse me?"

"You're lying. Kirsty would never do that to me. She loves me."

"Simon, you went out for three weeks, neither of you 'love' each other!" I exclaim in frustration.

"All you're trying to do is get me to break up with her for no reason so you can have me all for yourself!" He accuses me. "Pretty selfish, don't ya think?"

"What?" I stand frozen in shock. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Clearly you love me. I overheard several rumors and conversations that gave me enough proof for that conclusion." He says knowingly. "All you are is a jealous bi-"

"Simon, that's not true! I'm just trying to save you from the pain of finding out yourself!"

Which was true. I cared about Simon and didn't want him to suffer, but I guess I was doing the wrong thing protecting him.

"All you're doing is lying to my face!" He proceeds.

"Fine! You know what? Fine! If that's what you believe, sure. But I warned you, and I hope you remember that at least I gave a shit." I say as I make my way out, storming out the common room and straight to the corridors.

That common room is bad luck..

-------

"Cara! There you are!" Harry shouts from across the courtyard, several heads shifting at his booming voice. He has  a tendency to be farily loud most of the time and it was no suprise to me.

"Harry!" I say equally as loud as he smiles as we approach each other. He swings his arm around my shoulder as we make out way around the yard. "So..what's up?"

"Not much, actually," he shurgs. "I've been meaning to ask you something for the past week.." Harry's speech slows down as my breath hitches. I look up at him as he gives me a cautious look, scratching his neck.

"Would you go to Chris's party with me?"

I let out a breath of relief as he blurts out his question. "Yeah, for sure! Wanna get your flirt game on?" I smirk and wiggle my eyebrows at him as he blushes, looking away.

"That may be part of the reason, yes. But anyway, it's tomorrow night, so be ready when I pick you up."

"Okay Dinho, but make sure you look your best 'cause how else are you going to impress that crush of yours?"
