Affliction

Chapter Seven

Meredith's POV

..................................

Shit late for class.

How could I oversleep? How stupid am I?

It's the 3rd week of school already, and I've pretty much gotten into the swing of things. I never thought I would have loved college life this much.

I haven't talked to Harry since the night at the bonfire, I guess he's been avoiding me since I was rude after he dropped me off that night. Oh well, I need to worry less about making friends and concentrate on my work.

Since school has started I've taken a keen interest in poetry. It's became my favorite subject, In fact my Poetry 101 teacher, Mr. Carlile says I have a knack for it, and wants me to submit one of my poems In the schools newspaper.

I've also developed a strong love for music, I don't like playing instruments, and I would crack someone's eardrums in half if they ever heard me sing, but I've became fascinated with the art of music, and how the lyrics can speak to someone's heart.

I wonder if I should sign up for some sort of music class next semester? I think to myself as I am snapped out of my thoughts by Paige. She looks very annoyed.

"Did you even hear a word I said?" She scoffed

"Sorry, I'm just tired, can you repeat?"

"I was saying, Warped Tour is coming to town soon, and I was asking if you would like to come with us?" She smiled

"WARPED TOUR HOLY SHIT YESS I SO WANT TO COME WITH!!" I shout causing people in class to turn around and gawk at us. I whisper a 'sorry' to them and the retreat back to there work.

"Great, I'm glad your going! We are going Saturday." She beams

"We?"

"Yes, Luke, Harry, me, and now you!" she smirks.

I see where she was going with this. Another set up. Typical Paige. Why does she want me and Harry together so badly?

"Ohhh, I see what your trying to do" I smirk. "To bad Harry hasn't looked at me or spoken one word to me since the bonfire"

"Oh really?" She smiles

"Yes really"

"Well then... Why is he gawking at you like a lost puppy at this very moment?" She whispers

My face instantly heats up as I turn around In my desk, and sure enough that curly haired fucker is looking straight at me. He then snaps his head back to drawing in his journal.

"Shit" I murmur under my breath as Paige begins to laugh, and the bell rings.

"I'll see you at home" she giggles and she stands up to meet Luke at the door and they walk out hand in hand.

The creepiness I get when Luke is around has died down immensely, I've realized that he is just a friendly person, and he didn't probably didn't mean to offend me the day of the bonfire. Whatever, I just can't believe I'm going to Warped Tour Saturday! I smile to myself as I make my way through the courtyard.

I need to go shopping.

...............

"No Paige, I don't want to get something 'you would wear'." I laugh into the speaker of my phone.

I am currently shopping (alone) for something to wear on Saturday to Warped Tour. I didn't bring Paige because I didn't want her to pressure me into buying something that would barely cover up my lady bits.
