I'm Sorry.

Chapter 5

I woke up with a sudden bang as Olive was looking underneath my cubical.

" Have you been here all this time?!" She yelled.

" Urm...️urgh...I think so." I was regaining consciousness slowly so my speech was a little underdeveloped.

" Mrs. Gray is going mad! You weren't in Science and also Mr. Sidick is annoyed because you weren't in D.T! Annabel what are you doing?" She said pounding her fists on the floor.

" Get out my cubical, this ones in use." I said.

" Its no use trying to be funny Annabel." Olive said slowly rising up banging in the door.

" Alright, alright, I've opened it." I said swinging my bag across my shoulder.

" You need to go and explain yourself to the teachers Annabel." Olive said with one hand pulling my bag securely onto my shoulder.

It seems it wasn't just Harry who is concerned about my education. I'm grateful for Olives concern but I honestly can't be bothered with today anymore. I nodded at Olive and we made our way out of the toilets only to bump into the head teacher Mr. Fillman who just said that he was looking for me after some enquiries from teachers. He asked Olive to go to lunch and hurled me into his office. Not literally because that would be...yeah...child abuse?

"Where were you during the periods of 2 and 3?" He said with his hands folded on his chest, he thinks he's the bees knees this man, someone needs to give him a wake up call.

" I was in the toilet." I said slouching in the chair. I really couldn't keep my self awake not even for this significant moment.

" What were you doing in the toilet for 2 hours unregistered and unaccounted for?" He asked leaning in towards me.

I leant back in my chair and said " I was on my phone." That's what happens with me. I speak my mind, I should have lied about what I was doing and this is the time when it gets me into trouble. Atleast I didn't say I was sleeping, which I was.

" Was it a medical emergency that you needed to phone someone for advice?" He said.

" No." I mumbled and leant forward.

" Its not like you to be in trouble Annabel. I'll contact your parents and make sure they are aware of this, I'll inform the teachers of your disappearance and that it won't happen again." He said with a slight hint of anger.

" Okay." I said and grabbed my bags and walked out for lunch.

Olive greeted me outside his office, she asked me what he said and what he was going to do I just shrugged. I didn't even feel that horrible feeling you get when you get told off, that is a first for me I'm usually quite sensitive. I ate lunch quickly and made my usual excuse to walk away and then have my secret chat to Harry.

Me: " Hey, so I got told off for spending 2 hours in the toilets, a few minutes talking to you and the other hour and 50 minutes sleeping."

Harry: " Anna! I knew you were tired but honestly!*laughs*."

Me: "My parents are being informed so there is no way out, I don't want to stay at school and I don't want to go home."

Harry: " I understand babe. Hey why are you so tired? The show didn't go on that late and I'm sure you got home within a few hours? If you live quite far away that is."

Me: " I know it didn't go on that late but I stayed up all night."

Harry: " What were you doing up all night?"

Me: " Thinking."

Harry: " About what?"

Don't say it, don't say what's on my mind it will only get me into trouble, it's no use I can't hold it back. Here goes everything.

Me: " About...you."

Harry: " What about me Anna?"

Me: " I don't know it's just when you cut off after I told you my age so I though you...didn't want anything to do with me anymore."

Harry: " Sorry about that, it's my fault I should have given you a text."

Me: " Its fine, anyway I've got to go. Don't want to miss my last 2 classes."

Harry: " Sounds like a good idea, bye Anna. Study hard! I like a clever girl!"

*long beep*

Did he just say he likes a 'clever girl' the girl that went to school today honestly looks like she wouldn't understand education if it walked past her. I haven't thought about this properly yet. Is it a dream because honestly, it feels likes one. I'm talking to Harry Styles each day and he seems to like me even though I look like a toad scream like a fog horn and mess up on education. Harry made me smile, Harry made me want to end the day if school with a bang.

So I finished school not with a bang but with a huge sigh of relief, I had just the last of this week to go and then I would be into the summer holidays. We weren't going anywhere this year, we were just going to relax at home. My siblings who usually stayed out of the way of me had decided to come and tell me that I was in trouble with mum and dad. My older sister Sara came down and said that dad wanted to see me. Then my younger brother Jon insisted that mum wanted to see me. So with that in mind I went and stayed in my room out the way. Mistake.
