Wrong - Harry Styles

Chapter 4

Indie's pov

"So, the party is at the frat house, I'll send you the address when I get home." I watch as Ruth pulls her phone out, we exchanged numbers and I had gotten a couple of the guys numbers too as we were in our group. We are all standing in a circle, I had finished all my classes for the day and everyone was waiting to go home or be picked up.

"So.. do you think one of you guys could pick me up and drop me home? I just don't want my parents worrying." I tell them in an awkward smile, I know my parents both need the car tonight and I don't want them to stress, dad will be at work late and Mum has an interview.

"Uh, I can't because I'm coming straight from work and I'm already going to be late." Ruth tells me, looks are exchanged and I watch as Zayn looks up from his phone.

"I can." I hear Zayn's voice as he shoves his phone in his pocket, I smile softly. "I'll be able give you some driving tips too."

"Really? Thanks heaps, I'll send you my address now." I thank him, he had just gotten my number, I quickly pull it up and send him my homes address, he smirks as the text goes through and he picks his phone up looking back to me.

"Driving tips." Harry scoffs as he walks to the group, I find myself rolling my eyes as he makes the comment. Zayn laughs his comment off and so does everyone else, I find myself wondering if they are all afraid of him, I'm certainly not.

"Lighten up, its a joke." Harry looks to my direction and I stay there staring at him with the same unimpressed expression. As I do, I notice his abnormally green eyes, I stare at them for a second, the slight annoyance building up. He looks away and laughs even more.

"Oh, is that what you were trying to do there?" I dare to mumble my words to defend myself, Harry's head shoots to mine as he hears. With the look he gives me, I can tell he doesn't expect me to defend myself, he goes to speak, his mouth opens and shuts.

"So," I look towards Zayn as he interrupts Harry before he can say anything to offend anyone else. He coughs a little. "I'll pick you up at 9:15."

I nod my head and give him another small smile. It all feels really intense, it feels like everyone is staring between Zayn, Harry and I. I find myself biting my lip, where did this energy come from today? I can't believe I stuck up to him, I guess I'm just infuriated by the way he has been treating me and a couple of the others.

Ruth coughs a little and walks to my direction.

"Indie, I'll see you tonight. I'm heading off to work." I am surprised when she wraps her arms around me and hugs me tightly. I open my eyes wide, but I shake my head and let the surprising factor of all of this go. I let go of the hug and look to the others.

"I should head off too, I'll see you guys tonight." I say with a small smile as I head in the direction of my car. I stare back at at the group and watch as they all continue talking, as I am glancing back at them, Harry's head snaps in my direction, I watch him, he doesn't seem angry as he looks at me, he seems.. confused, in thought. I turn my head and don't look back at him, I look towards the end of the hallway and turn the corner, I find my way to the carparks and as soon as I reach my car I unlock it and hop inside.

I had made my way home quickly, the drive went well and I walk inside with my bag around my shoulder. I wipe my feet on the rug inside the house and place my bag besides me.

"Mum?" I call as I walk further into the house, she hasn't got a job yet, she's still looking for one so she's at home still unpacking and getting used to the place at the moment, tonight she's got a job interview and my father is working late, he probably will be for a while until we are financially okay to drop a couple extra hours of work.
