Towards the dark

Chapter 13

Harry's reaction didn't change at all.

                 

It stayed the same. I was nervous. Phoebe was shocked, confused and angry? I had no clue what I was gonna say to her. What was I gonna say that ' Hey he was just here to study but I have no clue how we ended up like that? Almost kissing?'

" Answer me Al. why is he here?"

" We were just studying, Phoebe." I said calmly.

"Why are you with him? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him? He isn't good for you Al."she said, her tone softening at the end.

I looked down. But he seemed nice. Why should I stay away from him? He hasn't done anything wrong or something that could hurt me yet. ' but he can in the future.'
My conscience said.

"Why are you speaking as if I am not sitting right here?" Harry asked Phoebe frowning.

"Shut up." Phoebe said.                                                       

"Harry, I --I think you should leave. I will catch up with you later." I said looking down.

He huffed and left. 

" Please explain." Phoebe said

I explained everything. Everything. How we met and how he saved me and blah blah blah.

She sighed and shook her head. 

"It is okay that you helped him but stay far away from him now. Okay? Please try and understand that I only want what is good for you." I smiled at her and hugged her.

 

After that we had a nice girly time.

  ——-———————————-

It was a nice sunny day today. I was still not sure if I should stay in touch with Harry. What if he is using me? What if the studies are just an excuse to get to me? Im not gonna get used.

We had our break right now.

 

I excused myself to go to the washroom. I stopped in my tracks when I took in the site. Harry with some blonde girl. The girl pressed up against the washroom door and Harry hovering over her. Their lips were almost touching and they both were smiling at each other. It made me sick. I cleared my throat as they were blocking my way. Both turned their heads at me. Harry was shocked and embarrassed to see me and the girl was smiling apologetically. I went inside but not without smiling at Harry. It was genuine smile and I now knew that Phoebe was right the whole time. I wasn't angry at him. We weren't dating nor we were anything that it would give me a reason to stay angry at him. But him? I don't know what his facial expressions were.

 

"There is a party again this Friday guys!" Phoebe said excitedly.

"I'm in." I said. I wasn't turning in a party animal. But I liked the last party. It wasn't that wild. I enjoyed.

Everybody's eyes turned to me..

"What?" I asked. They all just smirked.

I smiled and shook my head. We continued chatting. I was looking around when I caught Harry staring at me. He saw me looking back at him but didn't break our contact. I smiled again and he smiled back but the smile wasn't the usual Harry smile. He waved at me and made a gesture for me to come out. I gave him a questioning look. He did the same again and gave me a pleasing look. I agreed and got up from the table. I excused myself and left.
