Harley's POV
I was walking to school one morning, my heart was beating so fast and I couldn't get off my head what just happened last weekend. I couldn't believe that Harith kissed me, I was so shocked since I knew he liked Nana. I went inside the school campus and went to my locker to put some of my things there, but I noticed there was small note stuck on the locker, and I decided to read it, and surprisingly, it was from Harith! I smiled and started to read: "Miss you already, I'm excited to see you cupcake –Harith."
I folded the note and put it in the pocket of my jacket and immediately rushed to the library, since it was Harith's favourite place to stay. I opened the library door and saw Harith on the far right corner. I walked towards him and he soon noticed I was looking at him, so he closed the book he was reading and looked up to me. I averted my gaze at first, but I soon started to look into his golden brown eyes, I felt awkward at silence since he didn't speak, but he chuckled softly and kissed me on my cheek. "W-wha-?!" I exclaimed while my cheeks flushed crimson red. Harith stroked my hair gently and pulled me and made me sit on his lap. "Did your mom do anything to you?" He asked. "Thankfully no, I'm okay so you don't need to worry." I answered with a reassuring smile. "That's great then!" Said Harith. The bell rang and Harith took my hand and we went to our classroom together.Harith's POV
Class just finished and I went to Harley's desk, he was sleeping again as usual. I stared at him for quite some time, he really looked adorable but at the same time I knew he lied to me earlier when he said he was fine, he wasn't. I noticed a few bruises on his arm and cuts on his hands, "My oh my, what a liar." I said while stroking Harley's ginger hair gently. He soon woke up and looked at me while rubbing his eyes. "Hi Harith." He said. "Good morning Mr. Feeling-Expert liar, you lied to me again this morning." I replied as I crossed my arms. Harley didn't answer me and just looked at the floor, trying not to look into my eyes. "I just didn't want you to worry, I'm sorry..." He mumbled. I understood what he said and reassured him that he can tell me anything. He stood up from his desk and hugged me tightly, "Thank you Harith, I promise I'll try to be more honest with you." He answered. "Alright, let's go eat now!" Then we went to the canteen and sat down on our friends' table.
"I feel there's something going with you and Harley." Said Diggie while giggling. "Nah, there's nothing we're just friends." I answered. Harley looked at me and said that we were friends too, but as soon we all parted, Harley gripped my sleeve and asked, "Why didn't you tell them we're together?" "I don't think it's a good idea to tell them yet, maybe we can tell them after we take care of your situation with your family." I answered. "Oh, okay." Said Harley.
This continued for days, I always put small notes on Harley's locker every day, and we spend most of our time together alone in the library, since no one's usually there, I really enjoyed having a relationship with Harley, he was always with me whenever I needed him, and I was glad to do the same. I've always wanted for everyone to know our relationship since there were a lot of girls trying to flirt with me, but, I'm somewhat relieved Nana wasn't one of them, she doesn't really seem sad that I spend less of my time with her already, to be honest, she enjoys her time even more with Lylia. Nana is really a sneaky girl because I got surprised when she suddenly told me she knew my relationship with Harley, well, atleast just her, I'm happy she didn't tell anyone else about it. Harley told me that if his mom knows that I have a relationship with him, his mom will get very angry and I might also get in trouble, so I really planned on making us official when Harley is safe from his family.
I know it's short again, I'm sorry, I ran out of ideas, I'll try to really make the other upcoming chapters longer! Bye UwU
