You & I

chapter 14

my mom comes into my room on a sunny monday morning.

I hear her curse as she trips on my cat.

"hey kid you up for school today."

i stretch and decide I will go to school today, but only to see my friends.

"yea sure."

I get up and look in the mirror.

ew.

I look awful.

I jump in the shower and take my time.

I put on yellow high wasted shorts and a daisy print crop top.

i slip on my white vans.

I brush out my long damp straight, brown hair.

I really don't feel like wearing makeup today so I just slide my black nerd glasses on my face.

I brush my teeth, put on lotion' and grab some gum.

"you want a ride??" my mom asks shaking her keys.

"yea thanks" I saw grabbing my backpack.

"oh I almost forgot, here take your pill."

"fineee." I saw putting it on my toungue and taking a big gulp of water.

I grab an arizona tea can and head to the car.

I buckle my seatbelt.

"you don't have to go today if you don't want to demi ok??"

"no I want to, I wanna see my friends."

we ride in the car silently the rest of the way there.

we get to the carpool lane.

"lunch money??" I say holding my hand out.

she hands me a $10 bill

"go to lunch with some friends today"

"okay love you mom." I say kissing her on the cheek and getting out of the car.

I get nervous walking up to the door.

I automatically see kenzie and all my other friends.

they all welcome me with big warm hugs.

london says to me "I like your glove"

I look at her in a funny way "its a brace stupid" I laugh

kenzie and I start to walk to first period.

we see harry.

oh god.

why does he have to be so hot.

he looks at me and tries to walk up to me.

I turn my face away and start walking.

he runs up to me.

"demi can we talk??"

"fine. make it quick." I say rudely.

"im so sorry. so so so sorry. I love you so much. I was so stupid. I will try every day, any way to make it up to you." he says to me leaning in for a kiss.

I push his face away with my hand.

"why don't you go kiss courtney?"

I say in a bitchy tone and walk away.

I get to first period feeling good about what I did.

I make a group message with kenzie, zach, megan, and london.

me: hey guys let's go out to lunch today.

zach: ill drive

when lunch time comes around, we all get into zachs truck and go to chic-fil-a.

we eat in his truck and just talk and laugh.

it made me feel a lot better.

we get back to school and while walking in a see harry.

he looks at my sprained wrist and looks sad.

i see him making his way in my direction.

i automatically go the other way.

he catches up to me and lays his hand on my shoulder while saying in a quiet voice "demi? can we talk?"

i push his hand off my shoulder.

"don't touch me. meet me at the west stair case at 1:45."

i spend the rest of the day not being able to focus.

my off hour comes around and i make my way to the stair case.

i see him and my stomach turns to knots.

his face brightens up.

he tries to kiss me and i turn my face.

i say in a pissed of tone of voice.

"okay..talk."

he replies quickly.

"demi im so sorry i don't know why i did it.

i don't want anyone else. i just want you. i any a second chance at us."

i cross my arms and lean up against the wall.

"if you were sorry you would have told me instead of waiting till i found out. and seems to me that you wanted courtney at the time. you know harry, i believe everyone deserves a second chance if they prove that they should get it. so you need to do that. and i need to think about it."

i say is a sassy tone.

"okay demi i understand." he says looking down.

trust is earned.

not just given.
