THE SCRATCH (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

CHAPTER 1

Today is the first day of schol, ugh. I'm 14 so today I'm starting 3rd of Secondary, and, after almost three months of summer, I still think we are on holidays.

-Gemma! - my mum yells. Probably she wants me to go downstairs to have breakfast.

-Wait mom, I have to dress up. - I yell back.

My mum and I don't get on. Our relationship is based on shouting to each other every time we can. I have a feeling at the back of my mind that she hates me. But it's not my fault. When my dad left us when I was little, my mother changed her behaviour and started being rude to me, despite I am her one and only daughter.

I put on a white shirt, a black skirt and a blue necklace, my favourite one.

My mum compliments me when I go downstairs:

-You look good today.

I shrug.

-Thank you.

I sit down on a chair whilst my mum, Ella, gives me a glass of orange juice. Then, she switches on the TV to listen to the news.

-This morning another corpse was found. This time it was a 17-year-old girl called Amanda Walls. This is the third murder in 2 weeks. -says the woman on the TV.

As we finish with the breakfast, Ella switches off the TV.

-Isn't that scary? Three murdered women in two weeks?

-Sure - I reply.

Then she starts cleaning the table. Meanwhile,I go upstairs to take the books I will need. I grab my schoolbag and wait for my boyfriend Evan to come.

He is the same age as me, but unfortunately we don't go to the same class, so we only get to see each other in the playground and at the end of the lessons. And to spend more time together we walk to school together everyday.

He is blonde and a few feet taller than me. He has really good marks as well, so you could say we are perfect for each other. However, my mother doesn't like him at all, she says he is a jerk and that I am too young to have a boyfriend. But I don't care.

I hear a loud 'riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing' and open the door.

-Hiii Gemma, how are yoooou? -he smiles and wraps his arms around me. I hug him back and smile at him.

-I'm fine, and you? Shall we go?

-Yup -he says, and closes the door just after we get out. I don't even say goodbye to Ella.

-Have you heard the news on the TV? -Evan asks. I guess he means the news about the dead girl, so I say yes and we talk about that until we arrive at the school.

I get in my class and see that my best friend Stella has taken a seat for me. I haven't seen her since June and I'm very glad to see her again. We talk about our holidays and gossip about everything. Evan goes to his class, which is beside mine. I kiss him goodbye and follow speaking with my bff.

The teacher walks in and we all shit up. He explains us what are we going to do during this term and then I go home again with Evan. He takes my hand as we walk and he notices something in my wrist.

-Heey! What's that? Is my lovely girlfriend a suicidal?

I sigh.

-Of course I'm not, I am quite happy with you. I don't know, I was born with that scratch, I just don't woery about it.

He smiles.

-I trust you

Then, he kisses me.
