Forgotten

Chapter Twenty-Five

*Karley's POV*

I plugged my phone into the charger, rolled over, and found sleep... or dreams of a certain blonde haired, blue eyed cutie.

*Karley's POV*

Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is my date with Niall. Well, is it a date? I don't even know. But for now, I have classes. So I better get ready.

I climb out of bed and stretch. I walk over to my closet and decide on what to wear. I decide on dark blue skinny jeans with holes in them, a light blue long sleeved shirt, and my brown ugg boots. I throw the clothes on the bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and do my make up and hair. I decided on curling my hair, and I applied mascara and eyeliner. I brushed my teeth and finished in the bathroom. I pulled my clothes on and looked in the mirror. I looked... good today? Hmm... Yeah. I looked good today. I grabbed my bag and my phone and saw that Michaela was still asleep. I threw a pillow at her and she jumped out of bed. "WHAT THE FUCK KARLEY?!", she yelled. "MICHAELA YOU NEED TO GET THE FUCK UP AND GET YOUR ASS DRESSED!", I yelled back. She huffed and walked to her closet. She pulled on jeans and a green t-shirt, with her converse. She trudged to the bathroom and came out with her make up done, hair straightened, and teeth brushed. She grabbed her bag and phone and said "Let's go and get this fucking day over with." I nodded and followed her to our first period class, which was science.

Our first two classes went by so slow. Science was so boring and math sucked. Finally, it was third period and we had study hall with Liam. And of course... Harry. I dreaded going to this class because Harry would no doubt try to talk to me, and I wouldn't have anyone to talk to because Liam and Michaela would be sucking face.

We walked in and I took my seat, next to Harry. It was extremely awkward. He cleared his throat multiple times and I played with my hands. Then I looked up to see what Michaela was doing. Of course, it was sucking Liam's face off. I sighed and looked around the room. I saw an empty seat. Who sits there? I wondered to myself.

The bell rang and Harry spoke. "Karley I really am so-", but he was cut off by someone saying my name from the empty, now filled seat. It was Niall! "Karley!", he called while waving me over. I smiled and gathered my things so I could go sit by him. Harry huffed and my smile just grew. The whole time Niall and I just got to know each other. We talked about our favorite things and most embarrassing moments, and stayed off the subjects of Harry, Zayn, and Michelle. I was having so much fun and we were laughing so hard.

Niall just got finished telling a funny joke and I could not stop laughing! I only stopped when I felt someone tap my shoulder. The mystery person cleared his throat and I knew it was Harry. "Karley. Can I please talk to you?", he asked in a whisper. I sighed and stood up to follow him back to his seat. Before I left, I kissed Niall on the cheek and told him to think of more jokes. He winked and waved me off.

I sat down next to Harry and he started right away. "Karley. You probably hate me. And Zayn. And Michelle. But I know you hate me. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I really did like you. I do like you, but if we date, you'll only get hurt more. Michelle won't stop until she ruins you, and I don't want that to happen. But none of this would've happened if I didn't fall in love with you. And you deserve to know that. I really did- I really do love you. And I always will. Can we be friends?"

I was gob smacked. I couldn't believe what he said. I cleared my throat and said "Harry. I did like you, and I even loved you. You were the first person I ever loved and you'll always be in my heart, but I've moved on. And I don't think we should be friends. It'll only hurt more. I won't shut you out, but I don't want to be best friends with you either." He nodded and I smiled. He attempted a fake smile back and I got up and walked back to Niall. He didn't bother asking what that was about and I appreciated that. We laughed for the rest of the period and finally the bell rang, signally the end of the period. Niall stood up and offered me his arm. We linked arms and walked to lunch. I think Michaela and Liam were behind us, but I honestly was having so much fun with Niall that I didn't notice.

*Michaela's POV*

Karley is really happy with Niall. She smiles and their real smiles. I'm so happy that she's happy now. I know she still loves Harry. But I'm proud of her for moving on. Let's hope it's like this all the time.

*Karley's POV*

Niall and I walked into the cafeteria and walked to our table. I sat down and Niall sat next to me. In Harry's seat. It didn't even feel unnatural. It felt right. Michaela and Liam walked in behind us and sat across from us. A few minutes later, Eleanor and Louis sat down and Zayn came in. Weird. No Michelle or Harry....
