Backstabbed (H.S)

Chapter 9

I throw my phone to the wall beside me and whine.

How in the world did I get myself into this huge mess?

ALL BECAUSE HARRY TALKED TO ME.

He talked to ME. None of this is my fault. If it was for me, by now, he wouldn't even known I was in his class.

"Honey?" My mom said, knocking on my door before walking into my room.

"Yea?" I said, sitting up straight on my bed.

"I heard a loud 'bang' up here...you ok?"

I smile, "Oh, yeah. It was nothing."

"Alright..." She gives me a small smile, "oh, dinner will be ready in an hour. I have a friend coming over to eat with us."

I nod. Then I ask, "Who?"

"Her names Anne, and she has 2 kids. One of them goes to school with you! But I'm not sure if you know him." my mom says, tilting her head back in thought.

Him?

"What's Anne's last name?"

"Oh..." she snaps back into reality,"Styles."

I suck in a breath. It can't be Harry STYLES...right?

"Okay.." I say breathlessly.

My mom nods then shuts the door all the way.

I quickly stand up and walk over to my closet. I chose plain skinny jeans with a black V-neck that barely showed any cleavage.

I put on my gold studded sandals, and walk out of my room.

I skip down the stairs and jump when I reach the bottom.

"Mom?" I call out.

"In the kitchen!" she responds.

I walk over to the kitchen, watching my mom turn on the stove.

"Is this ok?" I say, signaling to my outfit.

"Gorgeous."

"Thanks mom." I say.

"They won't be here for another.." she checks her watch, "30 minutes? go relax or do homework."

I crack my knuckles, "Um, alright."

I turn around and head upstairs.

I take off my dinner clothes for later, and put on sweats and a white t-shirt.

I jump into my bed, bringing my backpack up with me.

I look through it, checking to see if any of my classes have given me assignments.

Thank The Lord Jesus, I have already finished all my work at school.

I sigh, laying back down in my bed. My eyes, closing slowly. Then all at once.

-25 minutes later-

DING DONG DING DONG.

I shot up from my position in bed, and groan. I hear my mom talking to another person down stairs and I check the time. 5:30.

Harry's here!

I dash from my bed, shaking out of my sweats and t-shirt, then putting on my dinner clothes.

I spray some perfume from bath and body works, tie my hair into a braid, leaving some hairs out to frame my face, and I scatter to the bathroom.

I brush my teeth with force, hoping that when I was done, I didn't have saliva stains on my lips.

I spit out, and look at myself in the mirror.

Good enough.

I close the bathroom door, then make my way downstairs.

The chit chatter of my mom and Anne become louder and louder.

Did Harry not come with his mom?

I walk into the kitchen, seeing mom and Anne at the table with a cup of tea.

Tea? In Texas?

Oh wait...Harry's mom is probably used to drinking tea, since she's from the UK.

I walk over slowly to Anne and my mom. "Hi," I say happily and chirpy. My moms head snaps up and smiles at the sight of me.

Anne turns around in her seat and looks up at me also.

"Hello, what a pleasure to meet you!" Anne says, shaking my hand.

She turns to my mom,"Is this your daughter?"

My mother smiles,"Yes...my little Mack."

I roll my eyes playfully,"I'm not littleeee" I say dragging out the word, putting a hand on my waist.

Anne and my mom laugh at this, and I smile at this too.

I wonder how long my mom has known Anne. I didn't even know she knew her!

"Mack?" I hear from behind me.

I turn around slowly. Holding my breath. Harry, looking quite nice, is sitting on the living room couch, giving me a small smile.

I give him a smaller smile.

"Oh! Amazing, you two do know each other." my mom says cheerfully behind me, clapping her hands.

"Yup," I say, clasping my hand together out in front of me, "more than I'd want, actually." I whisper, looking at the wall behind Harry.

"What?" My mom says.

"Nothing." I say turning to face Anne and my mom, "shall we eat?" I smile.

AYY THIS UPDATE WAS KIND OF LONGER, IDK YOU TELL ME, LOVES.

OMG HARRY IS IN MACKS HOUSE! OHHH
