Careless

Chapter Thirteen

I slam my chemistry book shut, taking a quick glance at the time and set the book to the side. I've had enough studying for today. We will still be on semester break till the first of September and that's when my exams start once again and I really can't risk failing any.

I sigh once I push the chair to force myself to get on my feet. I've been studying for three hours and trust me, it gets to tiring to move afterwards.

My feet paddle across the room, stopping at the foot of my bed and that's my que to carelessly drop myself onto the fluffy material, getting lost once I get tangled up in the million sheets I've covered the mattress with.

I find a way to get out of the embarrassing trap, my hand tapping around the surface of the bed to find my phone and once I feel a cold hard material, I grab it.

I enter my password and open up my calendar, going through my schedule until the break is over. My eyes grow wide once they land on tomorrow's schedule.. I have to go shopping for the perfect dress for my fancy birthday party.

I can't lie, I'm very excited. I've never had a birthday as fancy and planned as this. It's just usually me with a cupcake, celebrating on my own but this year it's gonna be big and glorious.

I feel the familiar grin I had on yesterday creep onto my face once more, my rolling myself out of bed to go through my contact list.

I am not a very open person. I'm usually quiet or sitting alone away from all the popular girls and guys. It's just how I am.

I slide my thumb across the screen, tapping on contacts and once a new page is opened up, I scroll down trying to find a decent girl that wouldn't mind shopping with a girl like me.

I stop once I see Tania between a list of unknown people and I immediately feel butterflies. I'm not so good with conversations. Mostly over the phone.

I forcefully tap on her number, putting the phone to my right ear, biting my lips as continuous beeps echoes through the line. Once I hear a voice, I panic.

"Hello?"
I hear a confused girly voice speak through the phone and I crack a fake laugh.

"Hey it's me! Ariana!"
I awkwardly say, trying to sound as exciting as I possibly can but I know I probably can't do a good job.

"Oh hi! What's up?"
She politely asks, waiting for a response as I try to balance on one foot. You know the unconscious things you do when you're on the phone.

"Yeah.. I'm having a birthday party in about a week. Would you wanna come? And maybe go shopping tomorrow with me? I really can't pick out a dress on my own."
I beg while faking laughs to make it less awkward but it doesn't help. There is silence for a few seconds but I cross my fingers hoping to get at least one person to come to this thing I'm excited for.

"Sure! Text me the info."
She says and immediately hangs up and with that, I have an expressionless look on my face.

"Bitch"
I hiss, offended but I know I ask for too much from people so I cool down seconds after.

Once I pull the phone away from my ear, I type Harry's name, thinking if I should call him or not.

I glance over to the top of the screen to check if it's the right time to call him because he is either asleep or having sex and I really wouldn't want to interrupt him. Wait a second, since when am I polite to him?

I do what I wanna do and tap on his number, putting the phone to my ear once again and I'm surprised by how soon he picks up the phone.

"Hey"
He dryly says and I swear I know he is smirking right now thinking that I'm gonna invite him over to give me my needs but it's not the case this time.
