LPOV
"Alright everyone, you need to partner up and start working on your assignment as soon as possible" told our class. Biology first thing on Wednesday morning was not something I enjoyed.
Even worse, we had to get partners. None of the girls were in the class. In fact, the only person I knew was...Harry.
I watched as everyone started pairing up. My eyes caught the curly haired guy and he began to walk towards me. I looked around desperately to find someone else, but I was unsuccessful.
"I want to talk to you" Harry muttered, sitting down next to me.
"Well I don't want to talk to you. And I definitely don't want to be your partner" I hissed back at him.
"Listen sweet cheeks, you don't have anyone else. You should feel lucky"
I frowned down at my hands, knowing he was right.
"I didn't mean to come across so possessive yesterday. It was wrong of me to tell you that you can't go out with someone. It's just...I don't trust that guy" Harry sighed.
I snorted, catching his attention. "Oh please, Cole is a really nice guy, and I would trust him a million times before I'd trust you"
"You don't know him like I do" He muttered. "Please, just, don't fall for his tricks-"
"With all due respect Harry, he's not the one I have to be careful of" I sighed, grabbing my books as the bell rang. He tried to stop me before I left, but I didn't look back. Mostly because I had a feeling he'd be able to talk his way around me.
At Lunch
"Girls, what the fuck? Why are you sitting over here?" Danielle questioned. Keira and I were sitting in our usual seats in the cafeteria, ignoring all the guys in the middle table.
"Um..I just don't really think I'm welcomed over there at the moment" I frowned, glaring at Harry.
"Oh Jesus, what did Harry do this time? Did he try to feel you up?"
"What? No, no! I just...I really don't want to talk to him right now. I'm sorry Dani"
"Yeah, and I just said I'd stick with her no matter what" Keira piped in.
"Ah come on, there's so many people at the table, you won't even have to talk to Harry!" She insisted. I have no idea how, but she managed to convince us after a few minutes.
And of course, the only available seat was directly opposite Harry. Keira had immediately sat next to Niall and the two were in deep conversation. I sighed and reluctantly sat down.
To make matters worse, Kaley was basically sitting on top of Harry. I tried to ignore them and started conversing with Eleanor, but I could feel Harry's eyes burning a hole in my head. And apparently, Kaley noticed too.
"Oh hey, you're that new girl, right? Lola?" She sneered.
"It's Lea" I gritted my teeth.
"Same diff! You're dating Cole, right?"
Everyone seemed to stop talking and turn their heads towards me. The guys and Eleanor, Perrie and Danielle looked particularly shocked.
"No. We're not dating-"
"But you did go out with him. You'd make a cute couple" She fake smiled. I just nodded slightly and went back to my food.
"I heard he got to second base last night" I heard her mutter into Harry's ear, clearly thinking no one else could hear. I dropped my fork onto my plate, causing everyone to turn around to us once again.
"Where did you hear that?" I demanded. She raised her eyebrows at me.
"Uh..excuse me?"
"That lie you just told. Are you suffering from short term memory loss or something? That's how those frickin rumours get started and surprise, surprise, you're to blame"
"Look, I don't know who you think you are, but you can't talk to me like that. I own this school"
"Well I don't give a fuck. If you have something to say, say it to my face" I snapped, and stormed off.
I didn't bother waiting for Harry after school. I'd rather walk than sit in the car with him. Unfortunately, he didn't feel the same way. He pulled up beside me about 5 minutes down the road.
"Don't be stubborn, please" He groaned.
"I don't want to get in the car with you Harry. End of."
"Lea, I'm not leaving until your ass is in this seat, so you may aswell get in."
I knew from his tone that he wasn't going to let it go, so with a sigh, I sat into the front seat. I folded my arms and looked out the window.
"That was pretty funny in the cafeteria today. I've never heard anyone debunk Kaley like that" He chuckled.
"She's a slutty bitch. She deserves to know her place" I huffed.
"Well I'm not gonna disagree with you there"
"Then why do you bother with her?" I demanded, a little too quickly.
He raised his eyebrow at me. "Do I detect a little jealousy?"
"Ugh, get your head out of your ass Harry." I saw him smirk, but thankfully, he let it go.
"I'm sorry Lea. Please, tell me you're coming tonight" He said, as he pulled up outside his house. I sighed and unbuckled my seatbelt.
"I am"
Harry's face lit up. I opened the door and stepped out.
"...But I'm going for Cole, not you"
And with that, I slammed the door and ran into my own house.
At the game
"Hey you made it" Cole beamed at me, as I walked onto the field. He looked smoking in his football gear.
"Yeah, are you nervous?" I asked, smiling as he took my hand.
"Nah, at least, not now that you're here"
He leaned down to peck me when we were interrupted.
"Um Lea? Can I talk to you for a minute? It's urgent!" Perrie said from behind us.
Cole's faced dropped, but he gave me a slight nod and ran back to his teammates.
"What is it Perrie?"
"Um..it's Harry"
I glared at her. "Why would you interrupt me to talk about Harry?"
"He says he's not gonna play the game!" She exclaimed.
