On The Run

On The Run: Chapter 1

'Natalie, have you seen your face? You're on edge. He's not around babes.' Emma said and I let out a sigh of relief. I really didn't want Harry to see me, I was trying to find the nicest way to tell him I wanted to be friends and nothing more; but I wondered how he'd handle it. As soon as we got to the front gate we stopped and I could see Harry's car on the other side of the road, I groaned and Emma laughed.

'Wow, he's everywhere. You might as well just tell him now.' She said. I really, really didn't want to. We were standing there for a while longer whilst I figured out what I wanted to do and someone barged past me. I turned around and some 6th form boy I recognised was walking away, I went after him and dragged his arm back and he turned around screwing me.

'Why the fuck are you touching me?' He said screwing and I gave him a dirty look back.

'You barged into me.' He stood there and looked around.

'So? Move from my face man.' He walked off and I stood there in slight shock, he always walked around with a screw face on or sometimes I didn't even see his eyes because he'd have a hood on or something. I rolled my eyes and walked back over to Emma.

'Arghh, don't you think Jamal is so sexy?!' She said and I frowned.

'Sorry you lost me, who?'

'The guy that you were just talking to, that's his name I found out.' Fucking stalker. Emma really scared me at times you know, if she saw a boy she would find out his name, I'm not sure how but she always does.

'Er... okay then.' I said and we started walking away fast, I didn't want Harry to see me but I'm sure he'd call later or something.

'Don't you agree?' She asked and I shook my head fiercely.

'God no, his attitude sucks.'

'Just because he barged into you, Nat don't lie !' I rolled my eyes. I really couldn't see what 'sexyness' she was talking about from him. He had your typical shape-up, always had something rude to say to someone, he was tall and quite built, he's lightskin but I honestly didn't see sexy in that. I changed the conversation and soon enough she had to leave.

'I'll call you later!' She said and waved, I waved back and crossed the road, I started walking in the direction to my house when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and my heart nearly lept out my chest in fright. Harry was standing there smiling but he was watching me closely.

'Oh hi Natalie, I was waiting for you like I told you.' He said and I cleared my throat, excuse time.

'Oh yeah, well I had to go quickly because I've got somewhere to go.' I said and started walking off, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back but he was holding onto it tightly. I looked at him with my eyes wide.

'You're hurting me.' I said and he just glared at me.

'Harry, please let go of my wrist you're hurting me!' He dropped my arm and let out a sigh.

'I saw you talking to a boy.' He said and I shook my head, he just had to see that didn't he!

'Yeah well he bumped into me, it's nothing. Infact I'm running late, bye!' I started walking off but he was still walking behind me, oh for fuck sake.

'Harry, can we just be friends?' I blurted out, I just needed to get him away. His face dropped and he looked slightly angry.

'What, why?' I looked around, come on Natalie think of an excuse. Oh sorry Harry I just think you're slighty creepy... you make my skin crawl or the sight of your face makes me want to vomit.

'Um, family problems.' I said and pretended to look upset, he walked closer to me and slowly lifted my chin.

'Aww Nats, you should of told me I could help you through it.' I looked at him as if he were crazy, what the fuck!?
