Book two: Popular girl and the nerd

(5)

"Oh Grayson I'm gonna whoop your ass." Tom says throwing a ping pong ball at a red solo cup. I stand next to him and watch as the ball hits the rim and bounces across the floor. I laugh and Tom yells out and curses. I sigh these party games are not really fun to me. But Tom loves them when he's drunk so I suck it up. I put my hand on Toms shoulder and I bring my lips near his ear.

"I'm gonna go to the balcony to call Cristina okay?" I say in his ear so he could hear me. He pulls away and nods. He gives me a quick kiss and then I make my way through all the people. I get to the balcony and see a few other people out here smoking but it's a big patio so I have some privacy. I take out my phone and scroll through it aimlessly. I didn't want to call Cristina because I knew she was asleep, she has exams tomorrow. I turn my phone off and look over the houses in front of me.

"Need some company?" His voice shot down my entire body causing it to tense up. I quickly turn around and see Harry staring at me through his hooded eyes. I stare at him for a second and I get a flood of memories rush in my mind.

"I'm good." I say and turn back around. I wanted him to walk away and leave me alone but I knew that was a stretch. He stands next to me and rests his arms on the railing in front of us. I keep my eyes forward and feel my jaw clenching.

"Aren't you the slightest bit curious as to why I'm here?" He asks me. I take in a deep breath.

"Not really." It was all a lie. I so badly wanted to know why he was here. I mean when the fuck did he decide he was going to go to the same school as me.

"I think your lying to me." He says. I glance at him and see him smirking while staring at me.

"Then tell me Harry. You obviously would like me to know, so tell me." I say facing him now. He turns slightly and smiles at me.

"I just missed you... so much!" He says, his voice dripping in sarcasm. I glare up at him.

"I wanna say I'm surprised honestly, but I just can't." I snap. He continues to give me that stupid fucking smile.

"I can tell you miss me Cam. It's so apparent. The way you still practically drool over me." He says leaning closer to me. I give him a smirk and shake my head.

"The only drool you will see coming out of my mouth will be shot out on your face if you don't back the fuck up," I say pressing two of my fingers to his chest and pushing him back. "In case you're blind, I have a boyfriend. I do not have any desire to even be near you." I say slowly. He chuckles and shakes his head.

"Oh ol' jock strap back there? You really down graded Cam." He says looking me up and down. I stare at him for a second in disbelief. Where did this Harry come from? I mean this is a whole different person now.

"I'd appreciate if you would leave me alone from now on." I say glaring at him. He smiles and shrugs.

"It's a small campus Cam," he says leaning down to me again. "I have a feeling we will be seeing each other a lot this year." He says lowly. I once again shove him back from me.

"Hey!" I hear a familiar voice yell. We both turn our heads and I see Tom approaching us with a not so happy look on his face. He steps in front of me and gets close to Harry.

"Fuck you think you're doing dude?" Tom says raising  his voice.

"Talking to your girlfriend apparently." Harry says smiling at Tom. I roll my eyes and cross my arms.

"Yeah well back the fuck off. She doesn't want to talk." Tom snaps. Harry chuckles and shakes his head.

"Don't get your jock strap in a twist there mate. I was just leaving." Harry says taking a step towards Tom. Harry steps past Tom and Tom follows him.
