Chapter 11

Nicole’s POV

When one of the administrator’s started calling us, I had turned around, but Harry hadn’t noticed until he had walked up to us. I was scared out of my mind, and I swore that everyone could probably hear my heart beating out of my chest.

“What are you two doing out here, shouldn’t you be in class?” we were asked, accompanied with a stern look on his face.

“Uh…” I couldn’t manage to really get any words out.

I’ve never been in this position before and I kept wondering what was going to happen to us, what punishment were we going to get since we obviously didn’t have an excuse for being out here during classroom hours.

“I’m not feeling well and she was just showing me the way to the nurse,” Harry said, and I wanted to ask him what he was doing.

I wanted to blurt out that he was lying and that we weren’t supposed to be out of class right now. Maybe if we just told him the truth he’d understand.

“Where’s your pass?” the administrator asked, and I knew we were screwed now, Harry shouldn’t have made up an excuse without any proof to back it up.

“Oh there are passes? I must’ve forgot to get one, honest mistake,” Harry said, like he was completely innocent. I knew he wasn’t going to believe Harry’s excuse though.

I knew after this was thought over, he was going to know Harry was lying and write us both up. I knew Harry probably didn’t care, but I did, and I was going to blame this all on Harry since this was all his fault. “I’ll let you both off with a warning. Remember young man that you always need a pass when you leave a classroom,” he said and pointed a finger at Harry. I knew that I was in the clear, but I couldn’t believe that he believed what Harry said. I was almost waiting for him to say that he was just kidding and that Harry and I were in big trouble.

“Of course,” Harry said politely, which I didn’t know was possible for him, for a troublemaker, he did have quite a lot of charm when he needed it. I waited for the administrator to walk away before I said anything else; Harry beat me to it though.

“Can’t get away with anything at this school, huh?” Harry said, and even though I wasn’t looking at him, I knew he was smirking.

All I felt was the chill that rushed through me when he said that right into my ear, and the remaining feeling of shock. Shock at the fact that I almost got written up, and shocked at the fact that Harry just lied to an administrator and completely got away with it. I still couldn’t believe that I almost got in trouble, that’s never happened before.

I don’t get in trouble or anywhere near trouble, I always follow the rules. I hated this. I was so tempted to run back to the man who caught us and tell him the truth, but I knew that wouldn’t be the best thing to do if I didn’t want skipping class to be on my record. I really hated Harry right now though. I hated him for talking me in to skipping class, and I hated him for lying to a person of authority at this school.

“So how do you feel? Rebellious?” Harry joked.

“Guilty,” I answered.

“Oh you’ll get used to it,” Harry said. “Get used to it? I’m not doing this again,” I told him sternly.

“You don’t know that, the year is just beginning,” he said.

“How did you even come up with an excuse so quickly?” I asked him.

“I’ve got an excuse for every occasion, babe,” he told me.

“Could you stop calling me that?” I asked, it’s the second time he’s called me ‘babe’ and it made me uncomfortable.
