What He Doesn't Know

Chapter 5

There was no way to describe this pain that I felt, I had been betrayed by my own best friend. She had always been there for me, yet, it now seemed that she didn't care whether I liked William or not.

"Harmony, what happened?" My brother asked. The worried look on his face told me that I need to confide in him.

"I like William," I mumbled.

"There's not much secret there, Ms. 'I sing with William in the car'," he scoffed.

I shook my head and tried not to smile.

"It's much more than that, isn't it?"

I nodded.

I wanted to explain to him what had happened these last few days.

"We kissed." Was all I could let out.

"No." He turned bright red. "I am going to kill him."

He's always been overprotective when it comes to boys, he promised me that he will never let me date anyone.

"Logan, it doesn't matter."

"Of course it matters! He can take my car, my food, and hurt whoever he wants," I wince. "But he cannot hurt my sister!"

"Logan, I said it doesn't matter!"

"He's not dating Victoria, nor is he doing anything with her that I know of. I shouldn't have said that I don't know anything about it, I'm sorry." He closes his eyes. "I don't want you dating him, Harm."

He pulls me into a big hug, he loves hugs.

I sigh.

"You don't have to worry about that," I whisper.

He shakes his head.

"I know I will," he sighs. "Someday."

I walk into my first class, completely tired, I don't want to be at school. For the first time ever, I have decided that coming to school is going to suck. I usually love school, not that I shouldn't, but today I just don't want to be here.

"Classe, aujourd'hui, il y a un nouvel étudiant ." The teacher speaks loudly.

A new student? Why?

"He's not new, but he's transferring. Why? I don't know, all that does is mess up my grade book. Anyways," Cool.

I don't look up, and I keep doodling on my notebook, something I seem to love doing.

"This is William, I'm sure you all know him. Hermione, I trust you to help him out since he'll be your partner for the rest of the year, oui?" I look up, oh no...

William looks at me and smiles.

Do I really have to be his partner for the rest of the year?

"Yep," I reply with a bit of hesitation.

Of course, I had to say yes! What am I supposed to do? Say 'sorry I can't we kissed and now it's awkward between us because he's possibly dating my best friend.'

William walks towards the seat next to mine after talking a bit to the teacher, who seems to like him.

I stiffen as he sits down, which he seemed to have noticed.

"You don't have to be nervous," he whispers. "I know I'm hot, but try to be cool about it."

What.

"What?" I say, a bit too loudly.

"Hermione, quiet please."

I feel my cheeks redden.

"Sorry."
