Me And My JJ

40

Anaya's P.O.V

"Hmm?" I ask with a shaky breath
"I have feelings for you" he repeats
I just stare at him stunned.
"Say something" he says looking worried

Okay this isn't gonna be easy
"I erm... I have feelings for you too" I say stuttering quite a few times

"Wait really?" He asks and I nod
"And this isn't a joke?" He asks and and I shake my head
"Oh my God" he says and I blush

He lifts my chin with his finger and looks into my eyes.
"So what now?" I ask
"leave it with me" he winks

He grabs my hand and we walk back to the car. We drive home in silence but it's a comfortable silence. As I get out the car he grabs my hand and stops me.

"See you tomorrow then?" He asks and I nod
Way too surprised to say anything still.
"I don't know how but you even look good in sweats" he says looking down at my sweatpants.
"I know right?" I say and he chuckles
"I'll see you tomorrow then" he smiles and I say bye and walk into my house

I run up to my room and scream into my pillow.
How did I get so lucky?

"Are you getting ready?" Harris asks me over the phone
"Yeah I'm just doing my eyebrows" I say
"What are you doing to them?" He asks
"Shut up" I say and roll my eyes and he laughs

"Will you be ready in time?" He asks
"Ugh yes for the millionth time" I groan
"Fine, okay I'll come pick you up in an hour" he says
"And you have to buy me a latte" I add in
"Okay fine" he agrees and hangs up

I finish doing my makeup. I look outside and smile. It's cold. Which means my outfit goes perfectly with the weather. I really don't know why it's cold when it's supposed to be summer but I guess that's British weather for you

I put a pair of black tights on and then a black body suit. I slip on a tartan patterned skater skirt on that has a zip going along the back of it. I wrap a dark red hijab around my head and then secure it with a hijab pin. I slip on my black heeled booties and grab my bag and phone.

As I get to the bottom of the stairs someone knocks on the door. I open it and see a very handsome but shocked looking Harris.
"I know! I got ready in time" I say rolling my eyes and I let him in

"No it's not that" he says shaking his head, "it's cause you actually look good for once"
"Oi" I say punching his shoulder lightly and he chuckles

"Muuuuuuum" I shout and she magically appears from the kitchen
"Yeah?" She asks
"I'm gonna go now" I tell her and she holds my hands and sighs
"You will have done amazing, trust me" she reassures me

Honestly, that's not what I'm afraid of. I mean I am scared to see how many GCSE's I've got but I'm more afraid of something else. I'm scared of seeing Ali. I'm just scared that if I see him, he's just gonna look so happy without me. It'll feel like the beginning of year 10 all over again. When he ignored me and when life was big scribbles for me and fucking rainbows and ponies for him.

"Anaya?" Harris says interrupting my thoughts
"Hmm?" I ask
"We need to go" he says
I sigh and give my mum a hug.
"Did I miss something?" Fayzaan asks
I turn my head to see Fayzaan at the bottom of the stairs

"It's my results day today" I tell him and he walks over to me
"You'll do great, I promise" he says and I give him a tight hug

"By the way, fuck Ali you have Harris and he's better" he whispers in my ear before letting go of me
I give him a confused look and he gives me a knowing look

I say bye again and we walk out the door. I sit in the car and sigh. I plug my phone into the car and put some music on. I need time to prepare.

Harris's P.O.V

Everytime someone mentions the fact that she's gonna be okay, she starts daydreaming. I don't know but I feel like she thinks she's not ready to see Ali. But I have something for her today. I swear if this doesn't cheer her up, nothing will.

A few hours later, I pull up next to the school. Anaya lifts her head off the back of the seat and uncrosses her legs from the seat. She looks towards the school and all the people walking in.

I put my hand on hers and she looks towards me.
"You're gonna be fine, I'm here with you" I tell her and she nods

We get out the car and make our way towards the entrance.

Anaya's P.O.V

My eyes scan the whole room but I can't see him anywhere. Before I even think of getting up, I see my girls run up to me.
I smile and hug them and the gawk at me.
"What?" I ask
"You're outfit is so cute!" Ayesha gushes

"I know right? Harris picked it" I do a little twirl and they smirk

I roll my eyes and carry on searching the room.
"He's over there" I feel a tap on my shoulder and follow Rukayah's finger that's pointing towards a scruffy looking boy

And that's when my heart stops. I can't believe it. Why is he like this?
