Anaya's P.O.V

"What?" I ask
"Ahem, I said do you wanna be my girlfriend?" He asks looking kinda embarrassed

Do I wanna be his girlfriend? I mean obviously I do because I am falling in love with him. But Ali's in the audience. My ex is in the fucking audience. And he isn't in the best place right now.

But should I be thinking about him or my happiness?
I look back up at Harris and nod my head and a huge smile shows up on his face.
Everyone cheers and starts clapping and he pulls me in for a hug. I pull away and see Ali who does not look impressed.

We walk back to our places and my friends can't even contain their excitement. I feel a hand touch mine and I look to my left and see Harris smiling down at me. He's so fucking adorable.

"Okay so an unexpected twist to your leavers assembly. There's no doubt you'll remember this one then huh?" My head of year laughs and I blush

This day could not have started off more perfect.
"Before I let you go and let you carry on with your lives, I want to say it's been a pleasure meeting every single one of you. You're all special in your own way and I know each and every one of you will grow up to he amazing workers and people. I'm gonna miss you, but I have to say goodbye" she finishes and everyone cheers

We get up out our seats and make our way back home.
"Are you hanging around with your friends or going home?" Harris says as we get put the doors

"I just have to go speak to someone I'll be back" I say before running away
I run back inside of school and see Ali stood next to the reception area

I walk up to him and he looks up but looks back down. Oh my god.
"Hey" I say and he just scoffs
"Ali don't be like that" I say and he looks back up at me
"Don't be like what?" He asks
"Don't ignore me like I've done something wrong" I reply
"You agreed to go out with someone when I'm sat right there!" He shouts
"Okay and? We're not together anymore so you don't get to decide who I go out with!" I shout back

I see a hurt expression show on his face but he covers it up with anger
"Fine" he shouts and leaves
I just stand there frozen watching him walk away from me

Harris comes up behind me and holds my hand. We walk back to the car in silence and we just sit there for a bit.

"Are you okay?" He asks after a few minutes
"Yeah I'm... uh fine" I lie
"Well shall we go home then?" He asks and I nod

We drive home in silence with quiet music in the background. My thoughts are literally wandering everywhere.

How can Ali be mad at me? How is any of this my fault? What did I do wrong? We're not together any more and it shouldn't be up to him whether I go out with other guys or not. Besides has he forgotten that he was practically cheating on me whilst we were still together?

I feel the car stop and I look over to Harris,
"This is not home" I say
"I'm just going into that shop" he tells me and I nod my head

He gets out and locks the car. I take off my shoes and put my legs up on the seat and cross them.

Literally how can a day that started off so good, end up shitty? I could blame it on Ali but I don't want to. Part of me feels bad for him because his family aren't in the best place right now.

Harris comes back with a bag but he just throws it to the back
"What did you get?" He asks
"Nothing" he shrugs
"Okay, erm can we go McDonalds?" I ask and he looks at me

"Seriously?" He asks and I nod
"Okay fine" he says and turns the car around

He pulls up at the drive through and orders two fillet-o-fish meals and we sit in the car and eat quietly.
I look at the river we've pulled up in front of.

The world is actually so beautiful and I haven't even seen any of it.
"What you thinking about?" He asks
"Just stuff" I say
"Like what?" He asks

"I wanna travel" I tell him
"And what's stopping you?" He asks
"College, Uni, Family, Life" I list and he laughs
"What about when you're older and you have kids?" He asks
"I'll be working then, earning money to help my family" I say and he nods

"How about going to a different place every summer holiday?" He suggests
"That's a good idea you know" I say after thinking about it
"I know" he says nodding his head and I scoff
"I love your modesty" I say sarcastically and he laughs

"Have you thought about what job you want?" He asks
"I wanna work in a hospital" I tell him
"That's good" he says and I nod my head

I finish eating and put my empty box back the bag and Harris does the same.
I'm just sipping on my drink when Harris hands me a bag

"What?" I ask
"Open it" he says shaking the bag infront of my face
"What is it?" I ask and he just shrugs
I grab the bag out of his hands and take out the box in the bag.

I open the box and gasp,
"You did not?" I ask happily and he nods his head

Okay officially falling in love...
