Watch your back

Chapter 1

"I'mmm readyyyyy,ooh wee ee ee ee ee ee ,I'm ready ,I'm ready "

The loud and obnoxious sound of my alarm disrupts the little beauty sleep I had.

"Erghh shut up you stupid thing"

My hand reaches out frustratingly searching around for the off switch on this irritating device .

I finally reach the off button and bury my head in my soft pillow pretending I don't have to get up and go to school on this cold Monday morning .

I lay In peace for 5 more minutes ignoring the world until a nagging voice ruins the silent.

"Get up Melanie!you have 20 minutes to get ready and remember you have to catch the bus!"

Great! I'm already late and have to catch the crappy and old school bus. Happy Monday Melanie.

I get out Of my warm and inviting bed with a grump grunt and angrily pull out the first pair of pants I find and a blue billabong shirt that I've never actually worn. I quickly put my top on and squeeze into my denim jeans.

I hop to the bathroom and struggle to put on my converse at the same time which results in me clumsily falling over. Good job Melanie.

I do the usual routine. Brush my teeth, brush my hair and put a little concealer on my obvious blemishes. I've never been one to wear much make up but On a occasion wear mascara and lip gloss.

I check my phone to see the time and I only have 3 minutes til the bus comes and i have to walk a block! Crap

I run out the door without saying goodbye to my parents and bolt to the bus stop. I begin to feel out of breath ,I'm not really A good runner but mum will kill me if I miss the bus.

I finally make it to the bus just as it was arriving thank god.

I walk onto the bus trying to catch a breath, I probably made a fool of myself infront of the kids on the bus but who cares,I've done worse.

"Have a nice run melon? Looks like you need it!" I hear a bunch of slutty girls giggle along at Harry's crude remark.

I just ignore harry and his little possy, I'm used to there immature words, they don't mean much to me anyway.

Who is Harry May you ask?

Harry styles is the cliche popular guy. He's good looking ,intelligent ,charming,althletic and has the school wrapped around his finger. Even the teachers love him. Most of all he Has the bigger ego ever! He thinks he can just walkover everyone.

Especially me.

He's always picked on me since the 4 th grade just because I wouldn't kiss him. It used to effect me when he said mean things when I was little and I'd go crying home to my mum but I built a thicker skin and now just brush it off. As my mum would always say "sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you".Its kinda annoying though, he has most of the whole school against me just because he doesn't like me. But luckily I have jade and Emily and they're all I need In high school. They're the bestest friends I could ever ask for and haven't fallen under the charming spell of Harry styles.

I get out my earphones and plug them into my phone and put my music play list on shuffle.

The first song that comes on is afire love by ed sheeran.

I am absolutely In love with him and his songs. He's so passionate and talented with his music and each of his songs tell a story ,especially this one.

I silently mouth along to the words and rest my head on the window.

2 minutes into the song I feel something hit my head.

I turn around to see it's scrunched up paper.wow aren't they original. I ignore it and zone out from the world again. That is until I feel another one hit my head. Then another. And another. I frustrating turn around to see a grinning harry.

"Could you stop that!"

"I wrote a message for you melon,read it"

I grab the paper next to me to read the message.

*you have something in your hair *

My body freezes trying to decide if he's bluffing or not . I look at his face and a devious grin is worn on his face.

My hands make there way to my hair quickly. I feel around but stop when I feel something. I shake my head and scream when a cockroach falls onto my lap.

Are you f*king kidding me they put a filthy cockroach in my hair!

"Wtf Harry, who puts cockroaches in someone's hair you psycho!" Him and everyone keeps laughing on the bus.

" I heard cockroaches are attracted to dirty scum and that's what you are so I decided to help the little cocky out"

I nearly burst out at him but decide it's not worth it and head to the front of the bus away from them bastards.

As I walk all eyes are on me and laughing all except one. A blonde blue eyes not looks at me with sympathy and no sign of enjoyment.

I keep eye contact with Him not looking where I was walking which was a huge mistake. Next minute I'm tripping over someone's leg and face planting into the ground.

"Have a nice trip melon?hahahhaah"

I lay ashamed on the ground not bothering to get up until a hand is waved infront of my face.

"Are you alright?Want a hand melon?"says the same boy I was just watching.

" oh look Niall horan to the rescue, how pathetic."

" two idiots together" says a group of people with Harry.

I ignore his hand and stand to my feet. What an asshole..I thought he was gonna help me up and be kind but no ,he called melon.

Melon is a nasty nick name invented by Harry. Melons are round and large just like me and it's kinda like the start of my name so harry jumped to use the name and and now everyone else calls me it except for my friends o fcourse.

I continue walking to the first seat and listening to music and try to ignore the lump in my throat. I never cry anymore and today is not an exception!
