Harry's POV

I shake my head, trying, for the millionth time, to clear my head of all these Jamie thoughts. Damn it. Unsuccessful. My mind is basically a never ending film reel of her kissing me, playing with Charlotte, and then the look on her face when she saw her friends standing in her driveway. How can she be so embarrassed? It's not like I'm trying to be with them. Just her. But I guess it's a package deal. I let out a sigh and reach for my notebook to get ready for class to begin. Just as I lift my head, I see Alexis enter the room and make her way to the seat behind me, where she's been stationed all year. I notice that the typical roar of the classroom fades to a low, gossip-filled hum as people eye the two of us.

"Morning, Haz," she winks at me, "You decided you're over your little whore, yet?"

Good to see nothing's changed, then.

"No, I don't think I'll be over Jamie anytime soon," I snap, putting emphasis on her name. I'm getting really tired of this. we broke up months ago, yet she still thinks she has this sick claim on me.

"Oh, well you will soon enough," she smirks, "I'm not so sure she'll want to be too involved with you anymore."

Her tone scares me. Alexis has many tones, but only one that contains such a ridiculous amount of self-pleasure and smugness. It's the tone she uses when she feels sure that she's going to get her way.

I turn around to analyze her face, "What did you do?"

"Oh, nothing," she answers while studying her nails, "We just had a little chat."

Just then, Niall storms into the classroom, his face red. And he's headed straight for Alexis.

"It's a joke, right?" he booms at her, "Please tell me you're not actually enough of a bitch to do that. Tell me everyone is lying and I don't have to hate you. Because if it's not a rumor, Alexis, you may as well consider us no longer friends."

Niall is usually so happy and funny, but lately he's been getting so worked up. I know this has to do with Jamie because she's the thing that's been getting him worked up. I don't like how protective he is of her, but I'll address that later. Right now, I have to figure out what they're talking about.

"What. Did. You. Do???" I repeat slowly.

"Go on, Alexis. Why don't you tell Haz how you cornered Jamie for the second time in three days. Tell him that when she responded to your attempt at intimidation, you slapped her across the face," Niall growls.

"You slapped her?!" Oh my God, my ex is insane, "Alexis, you think this will make me want you?"

"Once she's gone, it can go back to how it should be," she states calmly.

"How it should be!" I laugh dryly, "How it should be is that I should be able to like a girl without my bitch of an ex-girlfriend attacking her!"

I can feel my face heating up with rage as I really begin to comprehend what she's done. My life must be a fucking joke.

"Haz, you just don't see-" she starts.

"I do see. Fuck, Al, I definitely see. What I see is that we're done. As a couple, as friends... Get the fuck out of my life."

And with that, I gather my belongings and go to leave the classroom. I don't care if I'm counted as skipping. I need to find Jamie. I hear Alexis and Niall arguing as I leave the room, but I don't turn back to look.

I see Ashton at her locker as I walk down the hall and make my way over to her.

"What class does Jamie have?" I ask.

"Fuck you, pretty boy. She doesn't want to see you, that I guarantee," she slams her locker and takes off down the hallway.

"Ashton, please! I need to apologize."

She slowly turns and comes back to me.

"If you hurt her... I swear to God, I will kill you. But she took you to meet Charlotte..." I can tell she's wrestling with herself, "Okay. She's got Taylor first period. I gotta get to class. Good luck."

As she literally runs to beat the bell, I try to think about where Mr. Taylor's room is. There's no way I'll get to her before the bell, but I just have to get to her. I remember that he's an english teacher and take off the way I came to find this terrifyingly special girl and try to make things right.
