The One

Chapter 11

"I love you," I said to him, I meant it, or did I?

" Everyone take a seat," Mr.Harrington says.

I come in late with my notebook in my hand, I take a seat on my desk and sigh.

"Well look who's late now," Harry says in my hear. I can smell his mint breath.

I smile and look down to my desk.

Why did I just smile?

"Now today I will be giving you & your partner your book, that you will be reading, please take care of these books because they were borrowed from the library."

Mr.Harrington makes us sit next to our partner and he hands everyone a book.

Harry stands and comes sit next to me, I don't look at him.

"Here," Mr.Harrington hands us a book, and to our luck we get a love book. Romeo & Juliet.

"Romeo & Juliet, this should be a fun project," Harry says.

"Now I handed everyone their book & everyone knows what to do so you can get started," Mr.Harrington says.

I look back at Zayn who is sitting with Jade, he looks at me and he smiles, I smile back at him.

I take out a piece of paper and write my name on top of the page, next to it I write the tittle of the book.

Before I know it first period is over, Harry just sat there talking with Niall, who is Kendall's partner, which she isnt here.

"Where you going," Harry asks me as I am standing and heading out the door.

"To second period," I say and walk off.

He follows behind but then leaves once Zayn walks with me. I am glad he left.

"Hi," I say.

"Hey," Zayn says a bright sweet smile painted on his rosy lips.

Its a Wednesday night and I decide to start on reading Romeo & Juliet, now I have never read this book, but I have a prediction on what it is about.

I read the clock which shows 9:30 pm. Its late but I want to already start on this book. Riley is already in bed, and my mom isn't home, but she will be later at midnight.

I grab the book and walk down stairs to grab some juice. I take a sip of my juice while having the book in my hand.

Then the door bell rings. I look out the kitchen window to see if its my mother, but I see no sign of her car. I walk towards the door and open it.

The most unexpected person is here.

"Can I come in?" he says.

"What are you doing here at this time?" I ask him.

"I wanted to come see you," he says, as he comes in I can smell alcohol from his breath.

"Have you been drinking?" I ask him.

"Just a couple drinks, it ain't that much," he says.

"Here, you look dizzy take a seat here," I say as I lead him to the couch, I try to not make any noise. I wouldn't want Riley finding out.

Why am I even helping him? Some how I like I care for him. I must be on drugs.

I stand in front of him. "Where have you been?" I ask him.

"At the bar," he replies, I can see his eyelids closing.

As I am talking about him being here and who brought him, because he has had to much alcohol to be drinking, his eyes close.
