Southern Styles

Chapter 7

"Harry! What are you doing?" Someone shrieked behind us. We both immediately disconnected. I looked at Harry, who was looking at the other person. His eyes were full of fear and worry. Did I take things too fast? Did he regret the kiss? Did he regret the date? I'm so confused. I'm too afraid to know who yelled. I slowly turn my head to what Harry is looking at and gasp.

"Harry, how could you? I thought you were different!" She screamed at Harry. She looks so familiar, but I can't think of her. Maybe she looks like an old friend? I'm not sure. Harry sighed loudly and walked over to the furious girl. She was actually really pretty. She had long, brown curly hair and was tall, she was perfect. She looks like one of those perfect, Tumblr girls who always have perfect hair and make up.

"Valerie, we broke up 2 weeks ago. Why do you keep running back to me?" He asked her.

"Harry, did I mean anything to you? Two weeks is not even a long time and you're already making out with random girls!" She yelled while throwing her arms up and pointing at me.

"Okay, Val, we broke up for a reason. Anyways, at least I didn't kiss her while we were still dating," He said to her. I heard a bunch of 'OOOH's and 'BURN's coming from the direction of the carnival. I looked over and saw my savior, Brent, and a few other people. I practically sprinted to Brent and stood next to him while Niall started walking towards Harry.

"Everything okay over here?" Niall asked while patting Harry's back.

"No, nothing is okay. Harry was just kissing that random chick over there, and thought it was okay!" Valerie yelled, at Niall now.

"One, she's not some 'random chick', I actually got to know her and I really like her. So yeah, I kissed her. Two, it was okay since we aren't dating. Three, you fucked my step-brother while we were dating and thought it was okay, but you think this isn't?" He waved his hands in my direction. Again, I heard multiple 'OOOH's and 'BURN's.

"Whatever, Harry! Have her! She's just some ugly bitch anyways!" She said while giving me a dirty look. Excuse me. Who does she think she is? With that comment, I stepped out from behind Brent and walked towards Harry.

"Excuse me? You don't even know me? I'm pretty sure Harry is much happier with an 'ugly bitch' like me anyways," I said while smiling and batting my eyes at her, while hugging Harry's arm. This bitch is furious.

"Who are you anyways? You look like some new, city slut," she said while rolling her eyes. I'm so sick of everyone calling me that. I was just about to go at this bitch, Niall stepped between us.

"Ladies, please stop. Valerie, you should really just leave," Niall said while escorting her a few feet away and then walking back to us.

"Lilah, are you okay?" Brent asked. I didn't even realize that I've been standing here motionless for the past 5 minutes. "Lilah? Lilah! Hello!" He waved his hands around my face.

I shook my head and looked at him and then Harry. "Yeah, um, I'm fine."

"How about we go back to my place?" Brent asked. They actually had a pretty big group of friends. There was about 6 guys and 3 girls. All the girls were of course gorgeous. I can already tell I'm the 'ugly friend' of the group.

We all walked to the parking lot together. The girls all chatted about some new store that opened downtown and the boys babbled about the fish they caught last week. I of course was the odd one out, walking in silence. After what felt like forever, but was only 5 minutes, we reached Harry's car. I would much rather drive back with Brent, but I know he will be driving some friends back instead. Harry said bye to his friends and opened my door for me.

"I'm so sorry this date sucked," Harry said while starting his car. Ah, so it was a date!

"No, no, Harry. The date was great, until like 20 minutes ago," I said with a chuckle. I wonder if he regrets this date.
