CHAPTER SIX: HIS STORY

'I grew up in Manchester' he started 'at a young age my mum passed away in a car crash almost identical to your dads. Life has been tough since then, my dad found other women and forced me to call them my mum, and when I say women, he was having 3 or 4 girlfriends a month. Most of the time they were a lot younger than him, I gave up and moved in with my nan just over two months ago, that's why I started at this school, after settling in with my nan. I never really want to talk too my dad ever again, what he did after my mothers death was disrespectful both to my beautiful mother who cared for him and me more than anyone, and the Women that he was dating carelessly.

I sat and listened to every word and detail, I was shocked about his mum, we have been through the same things, he knows how it feels. He understands.

He continued 'When I arrived at school, I went straight to the nerds, because that's really what I am, but they told me I was too muscular and that I was wearing a denim jacket. When I asked them what that meant they  said I couldn't hangout with them.'

I must have looked shocked as he laughed

'Then I went to the basketball team, they rejected me' this boy has been trough nothing but rejection in his life. This must have been hard for him. 'I had no choice but to join the nasties, I hate it. I hate them. Then on the second day of me joining two of them got in a fight and I spit it up. They told me I had done wrong and people would hate me, they gave me a packet of cigarettes and told me to never talk to them again.' He removed the full cigarette packet from his pocket and waved it my face. I laughed

'I'm the bad guy' he laughed as he waved the cigarettes around in the air

'duh' I smiled sarcastically

'So now we are both alone' he pulled a sad face as he placed the still full packet in his pocket.

He got up and walked towards the door, 'I'll see you tomorrow' he questioned

'For sure' The closed the door and my heart set on fire. Ugh. How can someone be so perfect? A few minutes the door opened again and it was Areej and Beth,a huge smile spread across their faces

'We saw Harry leave' I began to panic a little. Shits about to happen and I wasn't ready for it. 'We won't tell anyone' These people can be scary sometimes,

I put went to the toilet and washed my face in the sink, I looked up at myself in the mirror and looked at how ugly I was. Mascara ran down my face from crying earlier, I must have looked repulsive when I opened the door for Harry.

I ignored Areej and Beth and climbed into bed, the sheets were hard and uncomfortable, it scratched at my legs exposed by my shorts. Cheap. I heard another girl mumble goodnight, I had neither the strength or effort to reply so I closed my eyes and dreamed of a perfect me in a perfect time.

Morning approached quickly and soon enough I was being wakened by the similar noise of my alarm, I climbed out of bed and ran to the shower before the others could wake up. I was dressed and showered before Areej and Beth had even got out of bed. I was used to doing things quickly so I could get all the chores done, they weren't.

I thought I would be the first one at the canteen but I wasn't, Harry was sat alone on the phone to someone, I could hear him shouting from the door, I debated whether to leave him to it, but he looked up at me and his angry eyes softened. He ended the call as I headed over to where he was sat

'Are you ok' I asked him, I wasn't expecting him to tell me who was on the phone and why he was shouting but he did.

'My dad misses me' he said sarcastically making quotation marks with his fingers 'he wants me to come home' I could tell he was extremely angry and upset.

'heyy, you don't have to do a thing he says' I began ' if you want to go back. Go. If you don't. Stay' he looked at me as if I had said the cleverest thing he had ever heard

'I'm not going back to the hell I once called home' he smiled

'Good' I laughed as the lady brought me a full breakfast, I looked at her and thanked her. When I looked down at the food it was greasy and fatty. This will make me uglier and fatter. I can't eat that I thought and pushed the plate away from me. Harry looked at me confused and pushed the plate back towards me. I gave him a dirty look.

'At least eat some of it' he questioned and I shook my head 'for me?'

Ugh.

I ate the beans and sausages,  looked at him and he nodded the consent for me to move my plate away again. He began telling me terrible knock knock jokes.

'Knock knock'

'who's there?'

'ach'

'ach who?'

'bless you' (credits too harrysm00nlight )

Then I saw Diana out the corner of my eye, she was making her way across the hall ergently she checked her nails and flipped her blonde hair back, Harry automatically stopped his jokes and looked to where my attention had been taken to.

'Apparently there dating' Diana whispered sneakily to Georgia

'Who?' Georgia asked a little impatiently 'I don't care about your crap gossip anymore'

'Harry and Ocean' I turned quickly as Georgia looked at us, I glanced at Harry, he had a huge grin spread across his face,

'What? I asked

'They actually had a good idea' but before I could ask him what he meant Mr Smit shouted to get our attention, he went over what we were doing today (a trip to the mountains) and by the time he had finished and Harry and I were heading upstairs to get our stuff I had completely  forgotten
