Torn [Harry Styles]

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

As I walk my normal route to school, wondering about the world around me. My thoughts couldn't help but wonder off to the curly head of hair that seems so strange. I don't really know why he has become a peculiar interest for me, it's not like I'm interested in him like that.It's just I don't understand him. He seems to be popular, but he isn't like the other popular people- in my opinion high school is their kingdom, and once they leave they won't have much else. But Harry's different and I can't quite seem to figure out if it's a good different or a type is could avoid...

Once I arrive at extension literature, my eyes find a seat, not too close to the back but not far back. Second row is good because I'm not noticed to much. It's not that I want to be invisible, I just don't want to repeat elementary school.

The teacher strolls in and I pull my book out from under my small pile of books. Zayn sits behind me, I think. Harry next to him, they were discussing something.

"Naa, she was in to it" Zayns voice sounds again.

"What ever, I can't do that shit again!" Harry exclaims. At this point I turn around, I had to. Both eyes, both green and hazel, shift towards me. They look at each other slightly.

"Hey Dani"Zayn smiles, the same way he did yesterday. He leans forward slightly and puts his hand gently on my shoulder. "You look great." He says. Boys haven't really said nice things to me before, but I guess people do that in high school.

"Uh-" my eyes look downwards for a distraction, anything to make him take his hand off. My eyes find a way to Harry, I quickly look away but it's a little too hard for me to avoid his intense stare, so I look back at him. After a few long seconds his features soften, and I glance back at Zayn who swallows, causing his adams apple to shift. He takes his arm off of my shoulder and I feel relief swell through me. I don't feel comfortable with men.

I suddenly become light headed, and I shut my eyes and try to block everything out, the noise, memories and the boys before me.

"Is she okay?" I hear zayn whisper

"Dani, you alright" I feel a hand on my back, causing me to flinch. My eyes shoot open and Harry's hand retreats back to his desk. "Dani?" He questions again.

I don't say anything, I just turn around. I hear whispers from behind me and I gulp.

I just want this class to end.

After the bell rings, I pick up my things and watch the class rush out, why are they in such a rush any way? There is no point.

I step out of the class room an- "what was that all about." Harry's long, slender body leans against the door frame causing me to stop. "Look, I'm sorry, but you went all weird." He continues to ramble. I decide to try ignore him. He walks in front of me and starts walking backwards so there is no escape. "What's wrong with you,"

I don't know what's wrong with me...

"you looked scared." He mutters.

"I don't know, I'm not scared, and I don't know what's wrong with me." I groan. Harry clears his throat and his face seems unreadable again.

"Right, I've gotta go" he says, casually. I watch as he slowly walks away from the conversation that I would like to avoid for a long long time.

I don't have much time to process the events that happened for gabi runs up to me and smiles slightly.

"Were you just talking to Harry?" She asks

"Yes, but he was talking to me"'I say "not the other way around"

"Oh, so you do like him?" For some reason her voice sounded a little prissy.

"No, he's odd" I reply, pushing my books one by one neatly into my locker.

"I know, he's so mysterious" she says dreamily

"Uh huh..." I mumble not really listening to what she's saying. I fell like telling her that I was a little scared of him, but I wasn't sure if I would hear the end of it. So I decide to ask something else, Gabbi always seems to know what's happening.

"Why did he transfer?" I ask, trying to mask all curiosity in my voice.

"I think he had to get away from his old reputation" she cocks her eyebrow

What does that mean? What could have been so bad you needed to leave. I decide not to ask much more.

"Toddles babe!" Samantha calls. I give her one more smile before stepping into the revolving door, just at the same time another man steps in, he's wearing black jeans and a coat. It's only when he looks back at me I realise that I do know the boy. A slightly pointy nose, and curly brown hair. What are the odds.

His eyebrows raise and he steps off the revolving door. He freezes, and his mouth turns into an 'o' shape. I soon realise I'm doing the same thing.

"Danica" I almost hear him mouth. Swiftly, I turn my heel and walk down the street- trying not to look back. The cool air flushes my face and I wished for a coat of some kind. Maybe he was visiting some dude, or girl... I shiver. Why does that bother me.

It's hard to believe that in such a large city, with so many hotels, he just happens to stay at the same one I work at- coincidence
