I'm Sorry.

Chapter 4

Right, what had I done? I should have lied about my age. But he would have found out one way or another. I didn't ask him how he got my number. I shouldn't ask him it could make him regret meeting me. Why was he talking to me? It's because I'm a fan and he just wants to make me happy, he treats me like any ordinary fan. These question just roll around my head. What did I do wrong? What did I say that made him hang up on me? What did he not accept about me? Last night was a mistake! I'm talking about it like it was a one night stand, why am I even comparing it?

I've read the fan fictions about Harry and I forgot them all in a flash. He isn't the bad boy the is made out to be...or is he? Damn these thoughts keep floating in my head I know he's a good person! Then why did he hang up when I told him my age? I should stop thinking about it, it's probably nothing. I'll keep telling myself that. This...is...driving...me...crazy!

"School!" My dad shouts up the stairs. Sugar! I was awake all night, I got 3 hours of sleep at best. I put on my school clothes and walked down the stairs, I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. I made a measly piece of toast and ruined it by spreading ice cold butter all over it which just ripped it to shreds.

"Bye mum." I said and gave Dad a nod then walked down to the bus stop.

I leant against the bus stop and opened up my text messages, still nothing. As the bus arrived I staggered onto it not giving the bus driver the normal smile I give him. I sat down and plugged in my music and fell asleep until I was woken by the sound of people getting off. I decided to get off last give myself a few seconds of consciousness.

My first class was History with Mr.Jennin who was an amazing teacher that most of my friends had a crush on I must admit so do I. One of my non Directioner friends Caitlin, was my right hand girl which I told quite a lot of things too. I was so tempted to tell her about Harry, about the concert about what happened but I ended up only telling her about the good bits of the concert.

" Wow that sounds hella boring!" Caitlin said, she would say something like that because she doesn't like One Direction.

" It was really good." I responded.

" So what happened in Yypres? Anna." Mr.Jennin asked. God I loved it when he called me by my nickname, it just sounded so right. I knew I wasn't in any trouble because he would of said 'Annabel' instead of 'Anna'. Obviously I wasn't listening as I was having a conversation with Caitlin at the back of the room so I dug deep into my memory and came out with some random crap.

" They bombed Belgium?" I heard Belgium and bombs being mentioned over my conversation with Caitlin so I thought I was on the right lines.

" No, can anyone help her?" Mr. Jennin asked. Goodness, I must have sounded like I had never seen a day of education in my life. I was tired and too concerned to worry about Ypres right now.

At break I propped my head up against a brick wall and slid down to the floor. My other friends Réna and Shelly who were twins came up to me and sat next to me. They don't like One Direction either, they used to but 'grew out' of them as they like to put it.

" Didn't you enjoy History?" Réna said as she rummaged through her bag.

" I'm too tired to enjoy anything." I said shutting my eyes.

" Was it the concert last night? Did you enjoy that?" Shelly said putting her head on my shoulder.

I nodded and she seemed to take that on board. I felt a vibration in my pocket so I quickly unlocked my phone and saw that Harry had text me.

Harry: Can I call you? X

Me: Yeah sure:)

Harry: Okay, just a second. X

I jumped up which startled the girls

"I'm sorry but I have to go somewhere."

"Where?" Shelly asked.

" Somewhere quiet." I said looking down at my phone.

" We were being quiet?" Réna said as she started to stand up.

" I know but there are people around making noise and I have to go." I said. I watched and Réna sat back down with her sister and I felt guilty leaving my friends for Harry. My phone was going off, so was the bell for end of break but I ignored the bell and proceeded into the girls toilets.

Me: " Hey Harry."

Harry: " Hey! Sorry about yesterday we went under a long tunnel and I didn't want to call back in case you had settled down for the night."

Me: " It's okay, I was beginning to think I had done something wrong."

Harry: " No you did nothing wrong. Where are you?"

Me: " In the girls toilets."

Harry: " Oh, your at school? It makes sense because of your age."

Oh my goodness I knew I shouldn't have told him my age, it's like that's the reason that is stopping him from talking to me all the time. Age is just a number. In certain circumstances it's okay to say that but in others it just doesn't fit as well. I wanted to sound sophisticated and grown up, you know, act older than my age but I just spoke my mind, which one day will get me into trouble.

Me: " Age is just a number."

Harry: " It is in some types of ways but in others it doesn't work."

This is rejection surely, I mean come on, Harry is older than my by a few years but why go for a girl a few years younger? I mean he could walk out his door and meet girls a few months younger than him. He also said the same thing that I was thinking about, maybe we think the same way? Or rather we both think the same way as a few other million people.

Harry: " Between us, age is just a number..."

Right back up, and rewind. What was he proposing? He said age is just a number in our case. Am I meant to catch onto something here or what? What is he asking me for?

Me: " Urm...yeah." There we go again, he must think I have slow developmental issues, why can't I think of anything to say to him?

Harry: " Are you taking time out of lessons to speak to me?"

Me: " *Yawns* Oops! And yeah but it doesn't matter."

Harry: " Your tired still. It does matter babe, education is key. Call me back when you are OUT of lesson!"

*long beep*

I felt honoured that Harry was concerned about my education. I walked into a cubical because I heard a few girls walk in, they were year sevens, new to the school and very annoying. I tried to ring Harry up but he just declined my call each time. He must think I'm a full on idiot, he knows that class won't be over in 2 minutes. I had totally forgotten about class. I was meant to go to Science but I was caught up with Harry that I forgot. In a strange way to toilet lid felt very comfy and honestly *yawns* I don't feel like studying rocks right now...
