Watch your back

chapter 6

School finally finnishes after what feels like forever. I hold my breath as i walk onto the bus hoping harry wont be on the bus. I search for the backseat where he usually sits but he seems no where in sight, instead there are 2 year 8 s thinking there cool sitting where THE HARRY STYLES usually sits but id rather anything than him. I sit down and wait the 20 minutes listenign to music and get of he bus walking to my house. As soon as i walk in the door my mum greets me with a hug and the smell of freshly baked cookies lay on the table. My family is kind of the stereotypical family if you could call us that. My mums stays home, cooks,cleans and looks after macy my 4 year old sister while my dad works hard as a builder with his owm company and my 13 year old brother saxon. Welll ,hes just a immature 13 year old who apparently knows everything and is learning that girls arent bad at all and wont give you cooties if they touch you. im just the 16 year old teenager who has never had a boyfriend, locks herself in her room at night and has an obsession with singer/songwriters. I look on the kitchen counter to see a plate of welcoming cookies just waiting for me to take a bite.I walk over to grab one but mum gives me a small slap on the wrist.
"Wait for dinner Melanie, the smiths are coming over so please make yourself presentable sweetie"
"Mummmm, why do they have to come over ,they're snobs and we both know it." It's true me and mum dislike them.
"I know honey but they're important to your dads company,besides Jeremy is a lovely boy and I think he has a certain fondness for you" she raises her eyebrows at me.
Jeremy is a nice boy but he's too nice,he has no personality and always looks at me when I'm eating and it's so awkward.
"Mum I don't like Jeremy and I never will"
I grab a apple from our fruit bowl and head up to my room upstairs

"Whatever you say honey "whispers my mum.
"I heard you mum and I don't like him!"
As soon as I get into my medium sized room I flop straight into my bed,grab my laptop and log straight into facebook. Nothing interesting is in it beside a message from Jeremy,yay..
*hey vi vi coming over yours today :)*
Vi vi is a silly nickname he came up with that I hate. It doesn't even sound like my name.my names not Vivian.i decide to reply back politely though, it's not like he's done anything wrong besides annoying me.
*hey,yeah my mum told me cya soon :)*

i look for another 5 minutes but then get bored so i decide to log off, that is before i get a message from james horan. who the hell is this? The messgae reads

*hey can we talk at school i wanna say something to you?* umm should i reply to this stranger, what if hes some pedofile? but then again why we would he ask to meet me at school. Guess it wouldnt hurt to reply. * um i usually talk to people that i know at schhol, and i dont know a james... who are you?*

*oh yeah sorry im niall, the guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, my middle names james so i use that instead* That makes more sense now but why would his facebook name be james instead of niall? none of my business anyway.

* okay and yeah sure ill meet you at lunch 1 by the silver seats?*

*yep sounds cool, see you tomorrow :)
I'm so confused, why would he want to talk to me? He better not have told anyone about what Harry did to me,I'll be fuming if he's done that.
"Violettt start getting ready,they're coming in 20 minutes"
"Okay mum! What are we having for dinner?" This is a normal routine for me and mum we just yell at the top of our lungs and hope we hear each other ,who can be bothered talking face to face nowadays anyway ?
"Roast beef with potato bake your favourite !"
Yasssss I thrigen Love potato bake!
"Thanks mum,your the best!"
I jump up from my bed to decide what I'm gonna wear. I decide on a black and elegant dress that's not to fancy but looks very nice. I put it on and study myself in the mirror. The neck is quite high so no cleavage is revealed thank god ,don't want Jeremy staring at them all dinner..
The dress has a gold belt on the waist that accentuates my curves nicely and the rest flows freely. I have to say it's one of my favourite outfits at the moment.
I quickly put some fresh mascara on my face,a little foundation and some blush to highlight my cheekbones I put my hair into a low bun and pull out my side fringes ready to curl them.
The curling iron heats up quickly and I run it though my fringe loosely making curls which fall down the side of my face Nicely.
I Finnish in a record time and still have time until they arrive.
I walk around my room looking for any mess under the bed or floor,as usual there's none ,I'm a pretty clean girl and I like things tidy ,instead I quickly sort through my shirt drawer seeing if there are any clothes I want to throw away or give away to someone. I'm fully concentrating on cleaning my drawer so much that I hit Jeremy in the balls after he taps on my shoulder....silly move he should not have snuck up on me.
"Oh god I'm so sorry I didn't know you were there you frightened me!"
"Aghhhh"
All he's doing is rolling on the floor holding his package in pain.
"I'm so sorry Jeremy ,do you want ice?"
"No no it's okay I'm fine just waiting for the pain to pass,it'll only take a sec"
Oh crap I feel so bad. He continues to be in pain while I stand there feeling awkward and not knowing what I should say.
"Okay can you help me up,I'm better now"
I offer my hand out for him and he jumps up with pain written all over his face.
"I'm so sorry Jeremy ,I didn't mean to"
"Ah it's okay ,it was worth it since I got to hold your hand even though it was only for a few seconds" he gives me a smile which I try to return but deep inside I'm cringing. He stares at my while I awkwardly look around the room.
"Um shall we go down,I think my mum has the food ready"
We both walk down Stairs silently and I can still feel his stare burning into my head.
" Jeremy whats wrong with your leg? You've got a slight limp"
"Oh nothing mum ,just a bit sore from footy". His mum Stares at him worryingly but shakes it off and continues talking to my mum.
We all sit down with the adults at the end and me and Jeremy opposite to each other.
"The roast is cooked perfectly Charlotte,thanks for having us over for dinner we appreciate "
"Oh don't even mention, we always look forward to our evening dinners together along with you.
The rest of the dinner continues like it usually does. Mum and Susan talk about random things,dad and Robert talk about the stock market but this time Jeremy actually attempts to talk to me..
"So what are you doing on the weekend vi vi ?" Not the nickname again.
"Oh nothing much,I've got an assignment to do"
"Oh that sucks, there's this really good movie I wanna see ,it's called mockingjay"
I nod my head pretending to be interested.
"And I was actually um wondering if you would like to come?"
Oh crap he did just ask me out,I don't wanna go.
"Ohh sorry I've already watched that and the assignment is really big and important so I'll stay in all weekend". Phew that was close.
"Oh that's no good ,do you want me to come over and help you?"
This guys consistent.
"Nah it's alright ,I believe in doing the work all by myself ,it's unfair using you when it's my work,maybe you could ask Shelley from down the road,she might wanna go with you. I'm pretty sure she likes you." His face is so sad, I tried to let him down easy but it didn't really work.
"Nah I only wanted to go with you."
"yeh sorry about that."
We fall Silent and it feels so weird, I hope he believes my excuse.the conversation is dead and I've finally had enough of the awkwardness.
"Mum may I be excused,I have a lot of homework I need to get though?"
"Oh sure sweetie ,don't forget to put your dishes in the dishwater."
I smile at everyone and at goodbye then leave to my bedroom.
God I hate family dinners with the smiths...

Sorry about the boring chapter.
It'll start getting more interesting and niall will be more involved.
