Alone

Chapter 3

Harry P.O.V

"Forget about the freak, I can show you to your classes" a girl with blonde hair,blue eyes,tight skinny jeans and a tight white tank top said smiling sweetly.

Riley turned down the hall disappearing from my sight. I felt the girl touch my arm, she was flirting with me. But I worried about Riley running like that. What is she running from?

"I'm sorry" I tell the girl walking away from her. I hear her scoff loud and whisper "your lost" I shake my head and check my schedule looks like I'm having gym with Mr.Myles.

"Excuse me sir I'm sorry I'm late, I had a hard time finding this class" I close the door behind me and everyone was looking at me even Riley was.

"It's alright your new here, I'm Mr.Myles" he takes out his hand for me to shake

"Harry styles" he grabs my hand shaking it hard.

"Okay dokie to gym class you need to bring shorts and aT-shirt. Now partners" he gestures me to sit on the floor. I walk up to Riley and sit beside her.

"No I'm choosing your partners" Mr.Myles yelled as everyone started talking and getting up.

A few awes started but everyone quieted down.

"Alright Jeremy and Riley" Riley's face turned white as paper when she turned to look at Jeremy.

"Oh wait never mind Riley and Harry" her face turn back to its color and her body seems to get relaxed.

"Now everybody get a ball, go to your hoop and whoever gets more points wins" I get up to grab a ball, Riley was leaning against the wall looking at the ground.

"Ladies first" I get her attention and she walks to me taking the ball out my hands.

She starts bouncing the ball 4 times before shooting it in the hoop.

"Whoa you got skills" she smiles but it turns to a frown when she looks behind me. It was Jeremy looking at her with a hint a jealousy.

"My turn" I yell out to get her attention

I bounce the ball 5 times before aiming and shooting it doesn't go in.

I hear her chuckle getting the ball. She looks at the hoop before shooting it in the hoop.

"Girl got game" I say as she puts her hand on her hips. She looked at me smirking. Wow smirking looks good on her. Wait? I just met her.

"Your turn, have you played in your old school?" She speaks out softly for only me to hear. She was really shy.

"Um no my old school was mostly for soccer. I tried playing with my brother but he sucks more then me" I laugh at the memory of Tyler shooting grandma style.

"Well here is basketball, and you don't suck much" she shoots the ball smiling as it gets in.

"Alright class before you head out I want to know who won?" Mr.Myles writes on a clipboard as the student walk pass him.

"8 for Riley and 1 for me" I grab my bag as he laughs loud.

"That's Riley" he smiles at Riley and she waves him off.

"Bye sir" she says leaving the gym and into the change room.

If I stay out here waiting for her she might think I'm stalking her. I should wait for her at the cafeteria. I follow behind some students who seem to be going to the cafeteria.

"Hey new kid? Where's the freak?" A dirty blonde guy said standing in front of me. He look like the guy with Jeremy in gym class. I turn around walking out the cafeteria. I don't know something about Jeremy and that dude gives me a wrong feeling.

A couple of girls are standing on some lockers laughing away.

"Sorry to bug but do you where Riley is?" A small girl starts laughing holding her stomach.

"You mean the freak? She might be in the library" I look at her weird, who's freak? I ignore them and follow the signs that leads to the library.

The door was open, it looked pretty dark inside. I quietly walk in looking for someone but nobody was inside.

"Are you following me?" I let out a scream and jump almost knocking some books.

"Very manly dude, why are you following me?" I turn around facing Riley she was eating a sandwich and waiting for an answer.

I don't know but something tells me she needs to be protected and loved.

Her eyes look so lifeless, like someone took her happiness away from her. But I couldn't tell her that without sounding like a creepy stalker.

"Ummm...... Hmmmm.... I don't where my two last class is and you seem like a friendly person" I take out the schedule and hand it to her.

She looks at me worried but takes it out of my hands.

"You have history and Math with me" she hands it back to me and walks to a table.

"Why are you eating in a dark place alone?" I sit down across from her looking around the library.

"The only place I feel safe" she stops and looks at me to see if I heard what she said.

"We should go before the halls get full" she grabs her bag walking away

"But I haven't ate" I say catching up with her. She looks at me then searches for something in her bag.

"Here" she hands me half a sandwich.

"Your not going to finish it?" She looks at me shaking her head no.

"Thank you Riley" she smiles at her name climbing up the stairs. I feel like she hasn't smiled in a long time. I smile back at her and she chuckles pointing at my chin.

I wipe off a piece of tomato, we get to the second floor where she open the door for me to enter. I follow her down the hall to a door with big letters HISTORY IS FUN.

"Afternoon Riley" a man is his thirties says writing on the board.

"Riley you do know there's some dude following you" she chuckles sitting down.

"He's the new kid" she hugs her leg pointing at me.

"Oh you must be Harry Styles" he writes down on his desk before grabbing a book.

"Here you go, your lucky I had one more. You can sit beside Riley" I smile at him before sitting down.

"Oh and I'm Mr.James" he continues to write on the board.

"Do I copy that?" I take out my notebook and she nods.

"Yeah before everybody comes in"

"Your not copying it?" She shakes her head and looks outside the window.

I took one more look at her before writing down notes.

I was determined to find out her life and for her to let me in..........
