Hidden ➳ [h.s]

6.

The game room is close by, and it's a bigger building my chemistry block. He swipes a card on a reader and the door unlocks.

"I would've thought Ethan gave you a tour of the school already"

"Well, you were wrong. Why do you need a card to enter this building anyway?"

"It's the sports clubs block. Only people in the teams can use this block. Soccer, basketball, netball, volleyball, hockey, tennis, lacrosse, badminton and all. You know"

"What about the others?"

"They have their own blocks, a theatre for drama, indoor pool for the swimming club and yeah" he says

"Where do I fit in those categories?" I ask

"Well you need to pick an elective" he says guiding me upstairs into a room with a pool table and four couches and a single lamp hanging on the ceiling for lighting. "This room is for the soccer team, exclusively" he says. "Of course, other teams can use these rooms too but each room is specific to each team" he finishes.

I take a seat on one of the brown couches. He switches the main light on and joins me on the couch.

"So why did we come here?" I ask

"To get to know each other" he says

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything" He says

"You sound so creepy" I tell him, but I'm the least bit afraid of him.

He laughs lightly. "Glad I got the effect I intended on" He says.

"Tell me about yourself first" I say to him

"Alright. Well, my full name is Harry Edward Styles. I was born on the first on February. I live with both my parents. Your turn" He says

"My full name is Mia Bella Hayes-"

"You're kidding" he laughs out loud.

"No? Am I missing something?" I reply confused

"Is this is gonna turn into some Twilight shit" he laughs even louder.

Twilight?

Oh, Bella and Edward.

I laugh harder than I thought I would, I sure hope it doesn't turn into Twilight.

"Okay" He says his laughter quieting down. "Okay, continue"

"My birthday is on the eighteenth of June. I live with both my parents too"

He nods, "do you prefer books or movies?" He asks

"Books"

"Me too. Day or night?" He asks.

"Day"

A while later, he is satisfied with the information I gave him.

"We're compatible. Our interests and everything works for us. We can be friends" he says finally.

"Oh you don't say? You only be friends with people who interest you?"

"Not exactly. It's just that you interest me. I want to be around you, as a friend. And I want to know stuff about you" he says exquisitely.

I don't respond.

"Mia, or should I call you Bella" he laughs

I roll my eyes at him

Straight after that, the power is gone and the lightbulb explodes, the whole room goes dark.

I lean back instinctively to protect myself from the shards of the lightbulb.
