   Harry wasn't in geometry.

11:45

Harry wasn't at lunch.

3:24

I was in my room, worried at why Harry wasn't in school today when I got a text from the devil himself.

Harry😒:
Can I come over?

Brooke😌:
Yeah, where were you today? (55 Denver drive)

Harry😒:
I'll explain in person.

Brooke😌:
Okay, my parents aren't home so just come right up to my room. Doors open.

   I laid on my bed for 15 minutes waiting for Harry to arrive. I scooted over so he could sit next to me.

    "We have talk, Brooke." Harry broke the silence.

  "About?"

   "Well, um, you see-"

    *RINNNGGGGGG*

  "Hold on Harry."

   I walked into the hallway and took the call quickly. It was just my mom checking on me. I walked back into the bedroom to see Harry laying on my bed.

   "Okay, what did you want to talk about?"

   "Um, nothing. Haha, what did I miss today?"

   "Oh, uh just A new lesson in geometry and a test in history."

    "Oh okay, thanks. I'll be on my way now."

HARRYS POV

Once I left Brooke's house I knew exactly where I was going to go. I was going to talk to Gemma, my sister. I needed her advice.

I walked into Gemma's house and took a seat on the couch next to her. She seemed so enveloped in her tv show that when I grabbed the remote and muted the television she just about hit me.

"HARRY!" She screamed. "WHAT THE HELL?"

"No, Gemma, this is important. It's about that girl I've been talking to you about."

"Ooohhh, okay." Gemma turned to me to listen.

"Well, I was going to take your advice but I got so nervous I didn't go to school." I said. "But I decided to man up, so I went to her house. I swear I was going to tell her, but I couldn't."

"What's so hard about telling a girl that you love her?"

"It could ruin my reputation, Gemma. You don't get it. I'll lose everything." I said. No one has ever known me to be a one woman man.

"Harry, I think you'll do just fine." Gemma looked me in my eyes. "Besides, you could use some change in your life. It's good for you."

I think I've decided what to do.

BROOKES POV

Wednesday

8:15

I was sitting in geometry when I felt someone touching my hair. I decided to leave it be since it was probably just Harry.

I started to hear giggles that weren't just from Harry. I felt a tap on my shoulder so I went to turn around but as soon as I started to turn I felt a big tug on my hair, enough to make me yelp in pain.

Harry and his friends had taped my hair to the desk, and they sat there laughing at me.

I looked at Harry and thought I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes, but they immediately flickered back to a look of evil, And just when I thought Harry was actually a good guy.
Tears started to well up in my eyes, thank god the teacher sent me to the nurse before I started crying. I didn't know how I was going to get the tape out of my hair.

Saturday
10:22 PM

Harry has been nasty to me all week long, and I couldn't figure out why.
On a good note, I have expanded my friend group past just Amber. I met this girl Cynthia, she has pink hair and she's very good at art. I also met this girl Reina who is in my study hall. She likes to piss teachers off.

Right now I'm laying in bed, working on my math homework with the girl Reina who I had mentioned.

Harry😒:
Having a party, wanna cum ;)

Brooke😌:
Yeah, no.

I turned my phone off and left it on my bed.

Reinas phone went off about 10 minutes later.
"There's this party tonight. We should ditch the homework and go." Reina slammed her book shut.
"Yeah, I know. It's Harry's party. If you really want to go you can, but I'm fine here." I politely decided.

"Come on!!! You need to loosen up!" She looked at me. "You spend all your time on school, you need to have some fun."

Well I mean, she wasn't wrong.

"Fine. But only for a little bit."
