Quiet is Violent

Chapter Three

Natalie let me be alone for a moment in the bathroom before I was to exit the room. My hair looked good, I was wearing a navy blue dress that was skin tight, but it had lace sleeves so it went well and was appropriate.

I took one last glance in the mirror before I opened the door, surprised to see it empty besides Harry who was waiting by the door. I got a good quick look at him. He was very handsome, beautiful curly hair, big green eyes, and he had a strong build. I noticed that he had an overload of tattoos. I know that Liam has a few tattoos, but Harry had even more. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a black shirt, not to mention his heavily worn white converse. He was just all around dark. In the short time I glanced at him, I could only feel my heart jump when I saw the piercing on his right eyebrow and around his lip.

I cleared my throat lightly as I started to walk towards my bed, not exactly sure why. "Where did Natalie go?" I asked in the most polite way I could manage.

"They asked me to wait," he replied flatly. I nodded and bent down to fix my shoe when he snorted. I stood up and raised an eyebrow at him. I immediately assumed he was looking at my behind when I bent.

"Excuse me?" I asked and he abruptly stood up straight.

"What?" He snorted once again and I folded my arms.

"Can you be any more rude?" I snapped and he gave me a look as if he was clueless as to what I meant. "I don't want you looking at me when I lean over," I stated, not able to hide how prude I honestly could be.

"You think I would look at you?" He hissed, followed by a rough laugh. "I have higher standards than that," he said and on the inside my head exploded. For one, I was wrong. The other reason, maybe, just maybe, I wanted a guy to look at me like that for once.

I led myself out of the bedroom, and I felt a stab like feeling in my chest when Natalie and Liam were in the front seats of Liam's car. I groaned and opened the back door.

I plopped down and Natalie turned around and gave me a sweet smile. Harry opened the other back door within a second after I sat, and he flung his body down, slamming the door behind himself.

We sat in silence for a while while Liam pulled out, until Natalie broke the silence.

"Is everything alright Kate?" She asked and I gave her a small smile. She returned my smile and Liam began ranting about something going on in the math department at school.

"Do you always look so worried?" Harry asked rudely and I rolled my eyes.

"No?"

Natalie laughed. "He's just playing," she assured me and I saw him grinning out of the corner of my eye.

A few minutes later I turned my head and Harry was staring at me. "What?" I asked and he shook his head, turning to look out of the window.

I stared at the back of his head for another second before turning away, noticing that we were pulling up to a ginormous frat house. It might have just been the biggest "house" I've ever seen in my life.

It was 8:00 and Liam was struggling to find a parking spot. I find it odd that it's hard to find a parking spot at his own place. Minutes later he finally found one and I opened my door carefully and stepped out, while Harry on the other hand opened his door and slammed it behind himself just as he entered the car; not even willing to wait for the rest of us to walk with him.

I sighed, I was going to be a third wheel tonight.
