Harry's POV

This was ridiculous... Nobody had ever rejected me like that. Especially not some girl. And ESPECIALLY not some girl i had just met.

I was sitting at a table with my red solo cup full of beer pressed to my lips, my eyes locked on Annie over the rim of the cup.

"Dude..." I heard the familiar voice of Louis in my right ear. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Staring at the new girl..."

"Why what did she do?"

"Told me I was two-faced..."

"Oh Harry...c'mon that can't be the first time someone has called you that." He remarked. I gave him a nasty glare that he returned with a grin. "Why are you so caught up on her?"

"I dont know man...theres just something about her that i cant figure out. But i cant decide if its a good thing or a bad thing."

"But dude...why do you care? Just dont talk to her if shes throwing you so much."

"Shes different i dont know...." I said helplessly. I looked back at her and did a double take...she was with Celine......my ex. I had broken up with her two months ago...

"Well why does she say youre two-faced?"

"I showed her to her class and was 'charming' or something as she put it and then she saw me beat up Nick after school today..."

"Well Nick deserved it."

"Well i know that...and you know that...but she doesnt know that..."

"Harry....explain it to her..."

I stared at him for a second then got up from my stool and made my way through the crowd of people until I stood directly behind Annie.

Annie's POV

I was dancing with Celine when all of a sudden her face darkened when she looked at something up and to the right of my head. I turned around and for the second time this evening i was staring at a navy blazer.

"Harry what the hell i said leave me alone.."

"You dont have to be rude Annie. This is only the third conversation we've ever had." He smirked and i was so tempted to smack him in the face.

"Go away Harry. She obviously doesnt want to talk to you." Celine said putting her arm around my shoulder.

Harry rolled his emerald eyes and walked away, shoving his hands into his pockets and walking out the front door.

"Dont pay attention to him Ann. It's so not worth your time." Celine said lightly stroking my hair.

"Yeah i know. He just wont leave me alone. Im just a little worried hes gonna like...lose his temper and start beating me up too yah know?"

"I know hon. C'mon ill drive you home."

Celine drove me home and when i walked into my house my mom asked how the party was.

"It was fine."

"Did you meet some new friends today?" She asked.

"One."

"Well im sure you'll make more friends in time sweetie."

"Okay." I said not interested in what she had to say. I stumbled up the stairs to my room, pealed off my dress, took my makeup off and got in my pajamas.

The next morning i woke up, still drained from jet lag. I put on a peach colored blouse with skinny jeans and and a turquoise colored scarf. I put on some mascara and ran my fingers through my natural curls.

I walked out the door with an apple in hand and my book bag hanging over one shoulder. I wasnt particularly interested in keeping up on my school work or talking to people. I just wanted to be left alone. My first day in London was filled with drama. Not just any drama...boy drama... The worst and most pathetic kind of drama because its the shit that you cant stop thinking about.

I was walking past the same fence that I had seen Harry beat someone up behind and kept my head low, jamming my earbuds into my ears and kicking rocks as i walked. I looked to my right and saw a second shadow spread across the pavement. I whirled around and was immediately engulfed in a green shirt that smelled of expensive cologne.

"Jesus!" I heard a familiar voice say.

I glanced up and immediately recognized the face staring at me. "What the hell?! Are you stalking me Harry?!" I yelled, outraged by his presence.

"God no! Im walking to school just like you!"

"Well you were pretty much stepping on my heels..."

"Okay okay...i just wanted to explain myself."

"Oh gahd. Good bye Harry."

"Wait!" He said, an edge of desperation threaded into his voice as he grabbed my wrist and turned me back around. "You never asked me my side of the story. You just believed some random ass gossip from Celine."

"And i trust her more than you so..." I said turning back around.

"Celine is my ex-girlfriend Annie...did she tell you that?"

I stopped short, "'No." And she really hadnt. And to think of it, she was the only one who told me to stay away from him.

He walked around me so he was facing me again, "And i broke up with her so i wouldnt go believing everything she says about me."

"Ugh. Okay make it fast though or we're gonna be late..."

"Okay well first off...im not this ass hole that just goes and beats people up okay?"

"What do you call yesterday then?"

"Well first of all Nick barged into my house--"

"--Wait," i cut him off, "That's your house." I said pointing to the house behind the wood fence.

"Yes it is now let me finish." He demanded. Well first of all, Harry lives like...3 doors down from me...awesome... "Nick is my sister Gemma's boyfriend...well ex-boyfriend now. He had come over to my house yesterday because he was pissed as hell at her. He brought Luke over with him because Nick doesnt have a ride. Hes an idiot i know. Anyway so i was standing in the kitchen listening to them argue in the other room. I heard her yell, then i heard a loud thump and I burst into the room to see that he had hit her...hard Annie... He hit my sister so hard she fell onto the floor." He explained with pain in his voice. " I grabbed the back of his shirt so hard my knuckles turned white...i was furious. I dragged him past the open gate so Luke saw me and came to Nick's rescue. By the time i had landed a few punches on Nick's jaw, Luke had tackled me to the ground and gave me this." He said gesturing to the bruise and cut on his temple that i must've missed in the dark light at the house. "They left me there catching my breath and my sister took me back inside to clean out the cut. I promise im not a douche Annie. And im not trying to win you over...i just dont want you to have the wrong impression of me on the second day we've known each other." He said stuffing his hands into his coat pockets, turning around and walking in the direction the school was located.

I stood there thinking about what Harry had just told me. Then I collected myself and jogged the rest of the way to the school.
