Alice

Chapter Seventeen - Thank-You

I have two months left and seven weekends before I have to move. I have four weeks left for my exams, I have five weeks left until I go and visit my new school.

During the week leading up to the weekend I studied for the tests that I had to pass to be able to get into the University in America. If I didn't pass that was it, game over. No University, I would have to go to College instead.

This weekend me and Poppie will be going to a music festival which my mum paid for as it is a birthday present for Poppie from the both of us. I never did manage to talk to Poppie about her brother and now that it has been left for a little, I'm not that fussed over it now.

"Are you packed?" Poppie said rushing around her bedroom flinging clothes into the bag she is taking with us.

We may be going for the weekend but she seems to be packing for a week. I laughed to myself at the thought of how big her suitcase would be if we ever did go to Italy. I thought it would be a lot safer if I sat in her makeup chair near the door so that I was out of the way.

"Have you booked a tent?" She asked as she was trying to zip up the bag.

"Poppie, calm down," I laughed at her.

She whisked round and it looked as if she came out of a dungeon, she looked stressed. She's not fighting dragons here, were just going for two nights and three-ish days.

"Of course I've packed, I had my stuff ready yesterday and for the tent yes I bought it two weeks ago not leaving it this late" I rolled my eyes.

"Wait, so you have to put up your own tent?" Poppie huffed at me.

"Yeah.." I spoke slowly, raising my eyebrows at her and looking at her like she was stupid.

"Oh, you two are going to that music festival?" Harry spoke making us both jump.

I haven't spoken to him since the night he blamed Dylan for threatening Blake. What we he doing here anyways, I thought he went back to University.

"Yes we are, now get out of my room." Poppie said as she picked up a pillow and threw it at him.

"Poppie, stop and breathe. Your making yourself stressed. It's supposed to be a good weekend without stress." I exhaled.

"Yeah your right Ali." She said sitting down on the edge of the bed and running her fingers through out her hair.

"I'm gonna go get a drink." I said trying to dodge the clothes that were spilled out all over the floor.

How on earth does she have that many clothes and how did they managed to get in the hallway. She will definitely have a lot of stuff to clean up when we get back.

I went down to the kitchen, opened the fridge door and shut the door after grabbing the bottle of water. Harry stood next to it making me jump yet again.

"You know you're going to give me a heart attack before I could leave." I joked.

He laughed and took a step closer to me, putting his hand on my waist, my heart beating rapidly. He moved closer to me and cupped my face as my cheeks turned rose red. What was happening? Why can't I move?

"Do you have to go?" He whispered as he kissed my neck.

"What are you doing?" I asked through my gritted teeth.

He tightened his grip on my waist, I knew that he wanted me but this time I didn't want him.

"Stop." I pushed him away, widening my eyes like I was going to hit him.
