Still the One

Charlotte's POV:

“Ugh my head!” I said as I woke up; I had a terrible headache. ‘I guess drinking coffee late at night with Johnny wasn't the best idea’ I thought as I snuggled back into my warm bed. I've never met anyone like Johnny, so handsome, yet so kind. Well, if you don’t include Harry that is. Guilt flooded my body when I was with Johnny last night, I mean I know me and Harry aren't dating, and the kiss wasn't even supposed to happen, but I just can’t help but feel guilty. Harry gives me so many mixed emotions and messages. One minute he hates me, the next he’s kissing me. I just don’t know what to do or say anymore.

“Charlotte! Get dressed! You’re going to be late for school!” my nan said as she pulled my quilt off of me. I looked over at my clock on my beside table ‘7:45’ it read, great only 15 minutes to get to school! I quickly jumped out of bed, and ran over to my wardrobe, grabbing the first pair of jeans I saw. I quickly grabbed a top, hoodie, bra and pants and then I was off to get changed as fast as I could. I grabbed my school bag and ran out the door. Luckily, school was only about a 5 minutes run away, so if I ran fast I knew I’d be able to get there on time.

“Ah Charlotte just in time” my form tutor Miss. Jacobs said as I ran into the classroom as the bell rang. Thankfully, I'd already entered the classroom before we heard the shrill ring of the bell, so I didn't have to have a detention.

“Sorry miss.” I said as I went over to my seat next to Sophie. As I walked over to Sophie, she didn't look too pleased to see me.

“You okay Soph? What’s the matter - has something happened?” I asked my best friend concerned. She’s never normally like this at school, she’s usually her happy jolly self and today, well, she was the complete opposite.

“I don’t know, maybe if you answered your phone you’d have an idea.” She said, turning her back to me. Oh, that was it - I was supposed to ring Sophie so we could discuss what we were going to use as an excuse to get away from her parents annual dinner party, which we both hated.

“I'm so sorry Sophie, I was just so busy last night and well it just slipped my mind!” I pleaded to her, “It won’t happen again I'm so sorry.”

“What were you doing last night then?” she asked me with a confronting look on her face. Oh no, I couldn't tell her that I’d been out with Johnny. I’d never lied to Sophie before, but now I had no choice. I had to lie; I couldn't lose my best, and well only real friend.

“I was doing homework for mine and Harry’s history project, you know what boys are like, never want to do any work.” I couldn't look Sophie in the eye as I said that. I felt so bad for lying to her, and well for lying about Harry just then. The truth is he really does want to help with the project, but I just feel so awkward around him after the kiss. I've not spoken to him about the kiss and how he tried to kiss me last night, and well it’s only Wednesday and we have art today, in 10 minutes. Oh god, I don’t know what to do! I mean Harry really seems someone completely different to who he was, someone new, someone better. But we still are completely different, he’s Mr. Popular, and well I'm just me. And Johnny was so nice, so kind, but he’s still a stranger. All I know is that I don’t want to face Harry next period. I don’t know what I’m going to say to him, I don’t know how it’s not going to be awkward…
