Angels Wear Black

I walked into the school. Finally brave enough to come. I walked over to my locker. Gem was standing there. I managed to smile and wave. She smiled.
"Hey! So, I was thinking we'd go shopping for the Showcase that's in, like, three weeks." I took a deep breath.
"I'm going back to New York." She stepped back.
"You're leaving?" I nodded. "Bu-But what about the Showcase?" I looked at her.
"That was a fairy tale. Harry and I...it was all just a fairy tale. This is reality. I woke up when he left." She slouched.
"I don't know. I thought it was very real." She walked away. And I leaned against my locker. Clutching my books to my chest. I sighed.
"You're leaving, huh?" May asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Yes. Happy?" She shrugged. Then looked at me.
"No. Harry's gone. Daisy..." She rolled her eyes. "No. I'm not happy." I looked at her.
"Wow." I said. "To think you're sad because two people that hate you are gone. And my boyfriend is gone, yet, I'm perfectly fine." She looked at me. Then the ground.
"I know they hate me. I'm not dumb. But, I'm kinda sad you're leaving." She was about to flip her hair, then stopped. I rose an eyebrow.
"You're a terrible liar." I sassed. She tilted her head.
"I wasn't lying." She said. "I...actually think you're cool." I laughed.
"Really? I'm not falling for your tricks, May. Got it?" I ordered. She looked at the ground. "See ya around, May." I pushed past her. I sat down in English. Sara walked in a few minutes later. She sat next to me. She had a frown on her face.
"What did you say to May?" I looked at her, eyebrows furrowed.
"Why?" She tilted her head upwards. Then looked at me.
"May left." She said.
"So?" I asked. She groaned.
"She was crying. May wasn't lying. She really does admire you." I was shocked.
"Why? I thought I was Miss Dreamer?" I asked, remembering the Lunch Massacre. She took a deep breath.
"Have you ever heard of, oh, I don't know, jealousy?" I crossed my arms.
"Jealousy? Really? She's Miss Perfect." She closed her eyes.
"The life your living, is May's dream. She was supposed to sing the duet with Harry for the Showcase." Chills ran up my spine.
"What happened?" I asked. Officially interested. She looked up front, then leaned over to my desk.
"You. You came and, Harry dumped her. For you." The world seemed to stop. "See? Ever since you came, May's been forced to live in your shadow. That's the only reason she did the things she did." I sat back in my seat. I nodded. The teacher finally came in. But I couldn't pay attention. All I could think of was who Harry Styles, the man I loved, really is.
