It was getting to the time of the semester where classes were getting hard. You know when the first few weeks of a new year or semester and everything is easy and you start to think maybe I will survive this class, but then your teachers start giving you more and more homework, and start having tests and projects. You soon start to think that your teachers are getting together and planning on when to have test and projects all due at the same time. You know school stress, that's what is starting to happen now.

The weekend has passed and now it was Monday, and I'm sitting in my math class being tired and bored out of my mind. The teacher was talking about something I didn't know or care about. On top of all that I had to go to the bathroom.

I watched the time pass on the clock until my teacher gave us time to do our homework for tonight. I waited a minute and then I went up and asked to use the restroom.

When I left the room I started walking toward the bathroom. Another person left a classroom, and that person was Harry. When he saw me, he smirked at me and came to my side to walk with me. "So what's got Erin out of class?" He questioned me in a mocking tone.

I rolled my eyes, "I have to use the bathroom, what's your excuse?"

"Same but since I'm so new to the school I might just get lost which would make me take longer."

The way he said it, made me think he was up to something more then just cutting class "What are you planning on doing?" I asked, I slowed down my pace, hoping to buy me some more time to hear what he is gonna do.

"I wanna do something with you, so whatever you wanna do." I glared up at him, knowing, he was just trying to flirt with me.

By now we were standing outside the lady's room, "Well I'm going to be going back to class, so I advice you do the same, because I'm not gonna let you get me in trouble." I turned and walked into the bathroom to escape him. I didn't want to get into trouble also I've never cut class before it's never been come to mind and it's never been offered to me, but it's not something I wanted to start doing.

I couldn't help but smile, at the thought of him wanting to spend time with me, but I get the feeling that it's just part of some game he plays all the time. I'm not gonna be part of a game, I have more respect for myself, and I'm smart enough to see that he plays games with hearts.

I walked out of a stall and went to watch my hands, and I looked up at myself in the mirror. I saw myself but something seemed different. I couldn't place it, I looked the same but something felt different, a good different.

I dried my hands and walked toward the door, and stopped. What if he was out there waiting for me. I didn't want him trying to talk me into cutting class. On the other hand he knew I wanted to get back to class, and he would just stand out there knowing I would try to avoid him, so I would have to stay in here. I'm not gonna let him win.

I slowly opened the door, and casually checked to see if he was there. He wasn't, I then remembered, he also had to go to the bathroom. I smiled at my own little victory, and went on my way back to class.


----------------------------


After math was over it was time for lunch, my favorite part of the school day. I grabbed my lunch out of my locker and headed for the lunch room.

The are three different lunch periods throughout the day, I had the second lunch period which is the one everyone wants because the first lunch is to early in the day and the third is to late.

I got to the lunchroom, and walked toward the table my friends and I eat at everyday. When I sat down I was greeted by Amber, Stacy and some other friends. Tessa doesn't have lunch this period.

I started to get caught up on the current conversation about how the school should be less strict about the uniforms, as I took out my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I had just settled into lunch. I saw Stacy's eyes go wide at something that was behind me and looked at me, and then back at whatever was behind me and smiled.

I was about to turn around to see what she was looking at, when I heard the familiar British accent. "Hello ladies, mind if my mates and I join you?"

"No we don't mind!" Stacy said quickly before I could respond, knowing what it would be.

"Great!" Harry said and pulled a chair over and squeezed in between my friend Bethany and I. The rest of the boys found space around the table. I noticed that Zayn had sat right next to Amber.

I looked around the lunchroom and many eyes of girls glaring at my friends and I, out of jealousy.
"So what were you lovely ladies talking about?" Louis asked.

"How this school is to strict about the dress code, I mean they already making us wear these ugly uniforms."

The table eventually broke off into separate conversations. I sat there quietly eating my sandwich and feeling a bit awkward, especially with Parker right next to me. I can't help but think he did this on purpose, all part of his game that I'm still trying to figure out.

Harry then turned to me, and smiled "So Erin have you thought anymore about my little offer earlier?"
"What offer?" I asked innocently, if he meant him trying to get me to skip class, it wasn't much of a offer, it was more like peer pressure.

"When we were walking to the bathroom, about instead of sitting through a boring class, we go do what ever you want." He wiggled his eyebrows at me, hitting at something more at the last idea.

"Oh that was an offer, I thought it just merely a suggestion."

"Really? Well it was an offer, and it still stand." He said moving in close.

"I'll keep that in mind." I smiled and turned my attention to a new conversation, but I could feel his eyes and his smirk on me.
