HarperThe sound of my annoying alarm woke me from my sleep. Groaning, I opened my eyes and slapped my hand over them as the harsh sunlight hit my face.
Last nights events slowly crashed back down to me making me smile a little. Ace was so kind to me. I'd never really excepted that from him but I guess everyday you learn something new.
About someone.
Though, I am still terrified of him, I don't know, after last night, he doesn't seem that bad. He danced with me, brought me home and he was... nice. But why? Why was he so nice? To me, out of all people.
But again, it did feel... okay? Like I didn't feel like I wanted to run away from him.
I snapped out of my thoughts as my alarm rang again. I sighed and pushed the stop button. God, I fucking hate that sound.
Here's to another day!
I got out of bed and went into my bathroom. I took a shower, quickly washed my face, did my usual makeup.
I picked out a pair of light washed mom jeans, a white cropped tank top and a black jacket and changed. I paired my outfit with a some jewelry.
I grabbed my bag when shoved a book in there along with my school stuff and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
There was no sign of my mom but Eliot was sitting on the stool by the counter, eating an apple.
"Hi." he greeted. I smiled at him and went over to the fridge and grabbed some yogurt, something I was suddenly craving right now for unknown reasons.
I put it into a small bowl, added some berries and starting eating. We finished up quickly and he was already out the door. I slipped on my shoes and followed after him.
We walked towards his school and once I dropped him off I walked to mine.
I made it though the parking lot, passing by random couples making out and annoying people talking. I subtly scanned the area for Ace but to my dismay, there was no sign of him... yet.
A wave of disappointment? Washed through me but I shook that away and reminded myself that he's probably really busy or just late. I spotted the twins and headed over to them.
I'm just going to assume he's late, though.
Nicole gave me a smirk and I rolled my eyes at her, already knowing what she was thinking. They saw what happened last night.
"So... Ace is a gentle men? Who would've thought?" Nick said, sounding very impressed. I laughed and nudged his shoulder playfully.
"I did!" Nicole chimed in.
"It was just a one time thing, guys." I told them, silently hoping that it wasn't.
Yeah Harper, who are you trying to convince?
"Sure." he said. I shook my head and he was about to say something back when the sound of multiple motorcycles pulling up to the parking lot interrupted us. We turned our attention towards that and as expected, it was Ace and his crew.
They were parked in the spot almost right next to us.
He took off his helmet and I caught his gaze and offered him a smile, he nodded once at me and I saw one corner of his lips twitch upwards for a split second. I looked away before he could see the slight tint of pink of my cheeks.
"Hey Ace!" An annoyingly high pitched voice squealed from right in between us. She was the 'It girl' of our school. You know, very pretty, rich, has a lot of 'friends', kind of mean, white.
