I feel awful.

It's been two days since my sudden outburst. Harry hasn't even tried to talk to me since then. He's been avoiding me and I can't blame him. What I said was mean and I truly regret opening my damn mouth.

Yes, he's been avoiding me but it is getting ridiculous. At one point I swear he tried to hide behind the couch when I left my room to go use the bathroom. When I came back, he was gone.

"Syd?", Kenneth's voice interrupts my thoughts. "Are you alright?", he asks as I nod slowly.

"Yeah", I mumble and let out a sigh.

"You're a terrible liar.", he chuckles. "What's wrong?", he asks again, taking my hand in his, running gentle circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

"I said something mean to Harry and I feel terrible about it", I sigh as I drop my gaze to our hands, a small smile forms on my lips.

"Oh don't worry about him, he can handle it", Kenneth says as he then lets go of my hand and wraps his arm around my shoulders instead. "He's Harry after all. He doesn't care", he says as we start walking towards the break room.

"I guess you're right", I shrug but deep down I know that my words hurt him in some kind of way. I saw it, I saw it in his face. He was hurt.

"I know I am. Now let's eat, I'm starving", he groans, taps my back twice and joggs in the breakroom, me following him.

Kenneth holds the door for me and I thank him, he is such a gentleman. He goes to the fridge, taking his food out and I go to the fridge as well.

"Oh no", I say as I notice that there is no chicken salad in there. "I forgot my lunch at home", I sigh as I close the fridge door.

"I can share", Kenneth offers but I just shake my head. I'm not even that hungry. I just sit down next to him and lean against the back of my chair, crossing my arms.

Someone opens the door and I lift my head up to see Liam and Zayn walking in. Both of them are laughing and I lift my eyebrows at them.

"Oh, hi Sydney", Liam smiles, still chuckling a little. "This is for you", he says as he hands me a plate with a plastic wrapper covering it. I look up at him again, eyebrows raised in confusion. "I was told to bring this to you", he explains and I hesitate to take it from him.

"Thank you", I say, removing the plastic. "Who told you to bring this?"

"Harry", he says as he and Zayn take a seat at the table with us.

"Harry?", I ask, shocked by this information. But I thought...

"I told you there was nothing to worry about", Kenneth says to me as he nudges my shoulder with his.

"He's probably poisoned this", I sigh and Zayn chuckles.

I sigh as I walk to the snack section. There's three boxes full of candy bars, chips and cookies that I have to place on the racks. I have to do this all by myself. Nobody is here to entertain me while I'm filling the racks. I kind of miss Rose. It's so boring without her being here, even though she was getting on my nerves.

"Sydney!", I hear someone yell from behind me and I see Niall walking towards me. I feel my lips turn into a smile instantly as he comes closer.

"Hi! What's up?", I ask as I start filling the racks.
