Harry’s POV

I wake up realizing that I haven’t slept well at all because of all the thoughts and questions in my mind, that avoided me from sleeping well. It’s odd that even my favourite secret hut can’t help me to relax for a single minute and to forget about everything. I really have to resolve this problem otherwise I’ll die in the upcoming weeks because of far too little sleep. I know that Claire gets on poorly with Grace and I know that I usually should rather be on Claire’s side because she’s my best friend and the fact that I know her for ages, but I can’t. I can’t ignore Grace. She doesn’t deserve to be ignored. She really tries to be all things to all men and it seems as if she likes me and also Claire. I really don’t know the reason for Claire’s dislike for Grace since their first meeting. I hope that Josie can tell me more about Claire’s absurd feelings at the moment.

After all those days of me thinking about what to ask Josie, I finally bring myself to call her. Claire had said a lot of mean things about Grace, behind her back of course and Grace, she always tried to talk to me and to Claire. Sometimes I even hung out with her and Emma, which is absolutely odd because a few weeks ago I was convinced that Emma is a boring uninteresting person but now my impression of her changed. Actually she is a really nice and kind person who cares much about others. I stand up and pick up my phone. Scroll through my contacts I think about what to ask Josie for the last time. Reaching the one I was looking for I breathe in loudly and click on the name.

“Hello” It sounds after Josie picked up the phone.

“Hi Josie, this is Harry” I say slowly feeling a little unwell now. I don’t know whether it’s right to ask her about Claire’s feelings, but if she won’t tell me I don’t know what else to do.

“How are you?” She says happily. Urgh, if she knew what I want to talk about with her, she wouldn’t be happy like this.

“I’m alright but I’m not really clear-headed right now” I answer having big difficulties. I’m embarrassed, really embarrassed and I’m lucky that nobody sees me now. I have to look like a twelve year old boy calling a girl for the first time.

“Sup?” She asks sounding a bit worried.

“It’s …. It’s about” I stammer. “It’s about Claire”

“What’s her deal?” She says sounding surprised and even more worried.

“Please don’t tell anyone about this call, Josie.” I request her making sure that Claire won’t hear about this awkward call.

“Sure thing”

Feeling very embarrassed and nervous I start to tell Josie about my thoughts. “I don’t know how to say it, but she behaves so strange in recent days. It feels like she’s a bit jealous, maybe about Grace. I really don’t know why and I’m just so confu…”

Suddenly Josie interrupts me. “Harry, chill out! You’re talking without interruption!”

Oh no, I have to sound like a nervous freak. I’m glad that Josie can’t see that my face turns as red as a beet. “Oh, oh sorry” I say embarrassed. “Have you also noticed that Claire acts odd in recent days?” I ask her insecure.

“Well…” she answers. It seems like she doesn’t want to answer my question, as if she has a bad conscience because she and Claire are bosom buddies.

“Please Josie, you are my only chance. I really need your help!” I try to get an answer.

“Yes… she overplays sometimes” So I’m not the only one who noticed that. At least something.
