Chapter 5
Jess's POV
"Ok class today I'm partnering you up for a lab. You will dissect a frog" my bitchy science teacher told us. She went through everybody's name then
"Styles and Savage" she said. Oh fuck how do I react do I smile do I wave do I say 'your hair is really curly'. Fuck Jess what the hell is wrong with you. I looked at him and he slightly smiled. I picked up my books and walked over to the lab table he was sitting at
"Hi I'm Harry Styles"he said holding out his hand for me to shake. I lightly shook it then said
"I-I'm J-Jess Savage"I stuttered
"Is that short for something like Jessica"he said passing me a pair of safety goggles. I sighed quietly and put them on. I chose not to answer it. My name is Jess and nothing else.
"So now that I cut the frog open you get to take the eggs out" he said passing me the scalpel. I took them out and set them in the little cup
"You didn't throw up. Or freak out" he said surprised
"I used to live in a small town in Minnesota. I've done a lot worse"
"Like what"
"I've been deer hunting before"I said then looked back at the frog
"Ok class when you are done you can write a paper on what you discovered. What you learned and what was your experience like" the teacher said. I hate her she wears all these fucking layers of clothes. The other day she bent over and she had a fucking tramp stamp. Everybody laughed until she turned around and gave us six pages of fucked up shit.
"So I don't think we'll finish that paper so..."he trailed off
"Um yeah do you wanna come over to my house...to work on it not like a date"
"Yeah I know what you mean sure I'll follow you home...wait that sounded like some creepy perv. You know when school is over"
"Yeah meet me by my locker"I said then threw the rest of the frog in the trash then the eggs. I washed my hands, put the safety googles away. Then the bell rang
----
I was putting my books in my bag when
"Hey Jess" a raspy voice said. I jumped
"Oh I didn't mean to scare you"he said looking down at me with his perfect green eyes
"N-no it's ok"I said pulling my back pack out. I slung it over my shoulder then shut my locker. I walked out to my truck and Harry stared
"What"I said rolling down the window
"Oh I see you must have an older brother"
"Yeah I do but this is my truck. What is it with all you people here. What a girl can't drive a truck"I said then put on my sunglasses. He got in his car and I drove off. I looked in my rear view mirror and he was still following me. I couldn't pull into the driveway because Emmett's car was in it. Shit he came home early. I parked on the street and so did Harry, I got out and walked up to him
"Ok don't ask but that's my brothers car he is extremely protective over me. This will not end well. Just whatever you do don't say hockey sucks. He will go apeshit" I told him
"Ok"he said. I walked up to the door and stepped in
"Jess"Emmett said running up to me. He pulled me into a hug then let go of me when he saw Harry
"Who's this" he said pointing to him
"I'm Harry Styles I'm just working on a report with Jess" Harry said holding out his hand for Emmett to shake. He shook it then things got serious
"Harry do you like hockey" oh shit
"Um well it's not a popular sport over here but if I played it a couple of times maybe I would get into it"
"Emmett where's mom and dad"I asked
"Work...Harry cover your ears" he did
"FUCK YEAH WE CAN SWEAR" Emmett yelled. Then Harry uncovered his ears
"So let's go up stairs and work on that report"I said.
"So your not going to talk to your older brother. Jess I just got back from college" he said
"So your college is like 100miles away. I'll visit you"
"So tell me about yourself the paper isn't due till next week. We got time" he told me
"Um I used to live in a small town called Bluffton. Only about 200 people live there. Um yeah that's it...oh I love hockey"
"200 people that's it. That's small town. What are your hobbies"
"Um hockey. Hunting. Fishing. Oh and I used to live on a farm so farming"
"Farming like cows"
"Cows, chickens, sheep, pigs. The list goes on"
"So what do you want to do when you get older"
"Well my dreams of becoming goalie for UMD is over because I moved here and I have bad knees"
"So what's Duluth" he asked pointing at my poster that said 'UMD bulldogs. Duluth MN'
"A city in Minnesota. I would drive up there a lot to go watch a hockey game. UMD is college and my all time favorite team"
"Oh...so what was it like in a small town"
"The best thing was the friends they were nice the worst things were the parties. A lot of kids would get drunk. I remember the day that a kid died because he got drunk and took his nice car on a dirt road. He was going a little to fast and the car hit something then rolled and he died" I said letting one tear get away. That kid meant a lot to me and my family. Mostly my brother. He was his best friend
"Did he mean something to you"
"He was my brothers best friend. It still hurts Emmett to talk about Josh that was his name"
"Oh I'm sorry"he said wrapping his arm around me
"It was along time ago but I hate those parties. They look fun but a lot of problems come from it"
"So shall we get started on the paper" he said walking over to my desk. Finally he changed the subject.
