the next day, i was walking through the corridors of the school to homeroom, minding my own business.
i was about to open the door to the classroom and i heard my name being called by a unfamiliar voice.
"hey, you! harper, is it?"
i turned, heart dropping down to my ass, and saw the same blonde that had her tongue down grayson's throat the other day.
when she was up close, i recognised her to be chloe sanders. the head cheerleader, the most popular and hottest girl in school.
"y-yeah," i replied, trying not to show any fear but failed miserably. she flung her golden locks over her bare shoulder, causing me to look at her outfit. a neon pink tube top and blue denim shorts? how the fuck has she not been dress coded?
strangely, chloe started laughing like a maniac, making my eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"you know, my friend apparently saw you get in my boyfriend's, grayson's, car yesterday. and i just had the hardest time believing that." oh no.
i cleared my throat. "w-well i don't know what to tell you, it happened," i told her and her eyebrows raised. chloe wrapped her arms around her chest, causing her cleavage to be exposed.
"well, i hope you get this into your head. grayson does not like you like that and never will. so i suggest you keep away from me and him unless you want this to get out of hand," she threatened and i swallowed softly, hoping she wouldn't see.
"trust me, i know grayson doesn't like me like that, and i don't like him either..." butterflies flew in my stomach, "... besides, he was just driving me home."
"i'll believe that when i see it, nerd," she finished before strutting away. i inhaled deeply before walking into homeroom.
"see you later, babe," chloe whispered in my ear before kissing under it. she swayed her hips as she walked away to her next class. i walked in the opposite direction to chemistry class.
after yesterday when i dropped harper off, i regretted everything i said about her being a nerd or whatever. she's not a geek or a dork, she's the most intelligent girl i know and i should've congratulated her for that. i was such a jerk, of course i'm not embarrassed to be seen with her!
the late bell sounded suddenly, bringing me back to reality. i walked through, hoping mrs lindsey didn't realise i was 5 minutes late. but it was only 5 minutes, what could i have missed in 5 minutes?
when i looked around the class, i was completely unfamiliar with the seating arrangement. that's when i realised we had a new seating plan which meant i wasn't sat with harper anymore.
johnny lowe, one of my best friends, was waving at me from the back, pointing to the empty stool next to him. a grin formed on my face as i strolled over and sat down.
"why miss let us sit together is beyond me, but not too bad, huh?" he smirked and i nodded, scanning the room, looking for harper. she was sat on the row in front of me but to the right of the room whilst i was in the left, next to her friend. lily, is it?
i really wanted to talk to her and apologise for what i said yesterday but now i can't. that's when an idea popped into my head.
i took my phone out from my back jean pocket and searched for harper's contact. harper from chem.
after i sent a simple message, i heard a vibration from the other side of the room, apparently only harper and i heard it, and she looked down to her phone screen.
grayson | harper
hey, i really need to talk to you
can it wait?
please, i didn't know the seating would change
fine
what is it?
i'm really really sorry for what i said yesterday
uh huh sure
i really mean it i was a dick and i'm so sorry
it's fine
no it's not, you don't deserve to be called that just because you are smarter than everyone else
i doubt that
you're smarter than anyone i've ever known
thanks gray
no problem
so are we ok now?
yeah i guess
i looked up from my phone to see harper already look straight at me. i smiled at her warmly and she shyly smiled back in return.
