Elena's POV

2 months. We have been off school for 2 whole months and today we have to go back. The first day of school is always the worst for me. Everyone else loves it. Not me. I find it hard to wake up so early after being used to sleeping in. Plus all of the kids are in shit moods because well, who wants to be at school. I sat up in my bed and rubbed my face. I got up and I picked out my clothes, I was going to wear light washed high wasted shorts and a grey cropped top, with black converse. I wasn't really one of those girls who cared what I wore. I mean of course it's nice to look good and all but I honestly don't understand why some girls dress like they are meeting the queen when they are just going to school. I got dressed threw my hair up and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I was finally ready I grabbed breakfast and headed towards the door.

I made it just in time for the bus and sat at the back seat.

"Hi" I said to the brown haired boy sitting across from me. He didn't respond, he kinda gave me a half smile and then looked out the window. I could tell that he had been crying, his eyes were puffy and red and he was shaking a bit.

The bus pulled up at the school and I got out. I pulled my class schedule out of my back pocket. My first class was English, I made my way through the halls and finally found my new locker.it was weird being back after so long and I forgot where some of the classes were. When I finally found home room, I walked in and sat at the back. I looked around, beside me to the left was Jessica Lyfir. Basically she was the school slut, she twirled her hair and glared at me. In front of me was Liam Payne, every girl had their eyes on him. He was hot, and probably the nicest person you would ever meet. I don't know why, I guess he just wasn't my type? I mean don't get me wrong he's perfect, just not for me. Beside him, Niall Horan. He was gorgeous, bright blue eyes and the perfect smile, and light blonde hair though like liam he just wasn't for me. My thoughts were inturrupted when the door opened and the boy from the bus walked in. He looked just as he did earlier this morning and everyone was staring at him. I honestly felt kinda bad.

"Mr. Styles " My professer, Mr. Scirl said.

"Yeah?" The boy looked up.

"Your late!" Mr. Scirl snapped.

"I'm sorry I just- I - I got lost." He replied with his bottom lip quivering. I wonder what happened to him? Was school that bad?

"Take a seat" The boy scanned the room looking for an empty desk and his eyes stopped on mine. I took me a few seconds to realize their was an empty seat next to me.

"Oh um you can sit here" I offered smiling. After my second attempt to talk to him today failed, he sat down next to me without a reply.

"My names Elena" I whispered as Mr. Scirl started the lesson. He looked at me for a few second before replying.

"Harry" I nodded as Mr. Scirl started the lesson.

The bell finally rang and all of the kids rushed out of the class room. I was the last one out so by the time I made my way down the hallway it had already started. There was a circle of kids standing around Harry and another boy with dark brown hair.

"You did this!" He yelled with tears in his eyes again. "It's your fault she's gone" he yelled again this time swinging his fist at the other boys face. He flinched and looked at Harry in shock. A few students gasped and a few laughed.

"Harry mate it was an accident you don't know how much I've beaten myself up about it I feel terrible I can't even imagine how you feel. I'm sorry. He said in a sped up tone and tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Obviously not as much as I will beat you up" Harry responded angrily raising his fist again. I rushed in and grabbed his hand before it hit the other boys face and pulled him out of the circle.

"What are you doing" I snapped.

"Don't" he said looking me in the eye. "Touch me" he stormed away. Anger issues obviously. I walked to my locker to grab my books for the next class.

Harry was on my mind all day. Who even does that? I rubbed my temples and tried to think of a reason to why I cared so much. I didn't know him. Why should I care what he does? I got onto the bus and sat in the same seat I did earlier that morning. Only this time Harry sat in the front. I picked up my bag and moved to sit next to him. I glanced over at him and he looked at me from the corner of his eye.

"Can I help you?" He asked looking slightly annoyed.

"I'm sorry." Harry raised and eyebrow. "About earlier I shouldn't have even gotten involved I don't know you. What happened?" I asked. He looked out the window ignoring my question. I waited a few minutes for him to reply and when he didn't I moved back to my original seat. I didn't realize that Harry and I had the same bus stop I guess I was just distracted. Harry got out first and I followed closely behind. Apparently he lives close to me too because we were walking the same way. We walked side by side, neither of us saying a word. Untill I turned to go into my house.

"I'm sorry Harry" I turned my head to look at him but he quickly looked away and kept walking. Why was I sorry? I wasn't the one trying to kill a student.

Harry's POV

I didn't mean to get upset with Elena. But it was none of her business. Who gave her the right to involve herself in my personal life? I don't even know her! The more I talked about Elena the more angry I got. I stormed into my home and slammed the door behind me. I opened the door to my bedroom and immediately ran in to closed the curtains. I hauled myself over to my bed and pulled the covers over my head. This isn't fair why do things like this always happen to me? I'm not a bad guy I didn't do anything to deserve this. I clenched my eyes shut to stop the tears.

"No, no more crying" I sat back up and wiped my eyes. "No more crying" I snapped at nobody and punched my mattress. The tears came down harder and I stopped fighting it. Instead layed down on my side and shut my eyes, letting sleep take over.

The next morning I woke up with a headache. I walked into bathroom to the medicine cabinet and grabbed the container of Advil, popping two into my mouth. I hesitated before popping in another two and then washing my face. Why do I bother going to school? It's not like I have anyone to force me to go. It's only a distraction. Everything is a distraction now, everything I do distracts me from losing her, it distracts me from remembering that night, from all of the pain. I looked in the mirror quickly before grabbing the Advil bottle and putting it into my bag and heading out the door, skipping breakfast. I walked to the bus stop and say down leaning against the telephone pole. Just as I started to wonder if Elena was going to show up, she did.

"Hey Harry" she said sympathetically. I knew she felt bad about yesterday and I knew she was only trying to help but I didn't need help. I was ok. I am ok. I don't need help. I just stared back as the bus pulled up. We both got on and I sat at the front this time hoping she wouldn't follow me. I turned my head and she was sitting 4 seats back with her headphones in. She looked up at me and I quickly looked away.

School was exactly like the day before and I was starting to feel like it would always be like this. I could feel the stares and hear the whispers as I walked down the hallway to get my books before last period. I slightly glanced over to my left to see Zayn Malik and Jessica lyfir making out against the lockers. My face immediately turned red and I clenched my fists together, he turned his head from the girl and looked over at me sympathetically. I quickly turned the corned and headed to change for gym class.
