Carter's POV
"So what's going on with you and that nerd?" Liam said as I shut my locker at the end of the school day. I raised an eyebrow at him, trying hard not to stare into his intense chocolate brown eyes. One look and I'm frozen.

"Good day to you too." I mumbled. "And I don't know what your talking about."

Liam's jaw clenched and I silently dared him to say something out of line. It wasn't a secret that I could hold my own against such a muscular guy. If push came to shove I would break his pretty little face in.

"Harry Styles." He said, obviously trying to remain calm. It was quite humorous actually. I smirked and swung my hair over my shoulders.

"Oh him? Didn't you hear? He's my boyfriend." I said and he visibly stiffened. What's his deal?

"Since when? What do you even see in a guy like that?" He scoffed. I smirked and walked around him, moving in slow circles as I studied him. I could feel his intense gaze as his eyes followed my frame.

"There are plenty of reasons why someone dates. Things like mutual feelings, or enjoyment, or sex." I said the word slowly so instead of three letters it sounded like ten.

"So your together with Harry for sex? Why go for the nerd?" He asked like it was the world's greatest mystery. Remember when I said that I hate my real name? Yeah, I hate the word "nerd" almost as much.

"Can you stop calling him that?" I snapped at him and stopped moving. "If I recall correctly, I was a nerd too. Maybe I still am a little." I said and his frown deepened.

"Carter, I didn't mean it like that." He paused to lick his lips. "You know I think you're different." He apologized but I was already wired up. I wasn't stopping until my adrenaline levels lowered.

"Then what the hell do you mean? Why are you so against us?" I asked loudly, getting dangerously close to a shout but silently hoping that he would tell me that he was against it because he felt something for me other then friendship.

"I'm not against it. I just want to know why him?" Liam fought back and my heart deflated. I took a deep breath to make sure that it would carry me until tomorrow and turned my steely gaze back to him.

"You really wanna know why Harry and I are dating?" I took another deep breath as he nodded slightly. "Because to the people we really love we're invisible." I said and then turned away.

"What? Carter what are you saying?" Liam said as I began walking away. Idiot boy.

"Nothing. I'll see you tomorrow Li-Li." I said and then I spotted Harry rounding the corner to my locker. I smiled as I realized that he was actually coming to undergo my wacky idea and then I ran toward him. Emotional Carter Locking Down To Hide Her Hurt. Robot Happy Carter Powering On.

Harry seemed a bit startled when I shot him a big smile and planted a kiss on his cheek, just an inch from his lips. I could practically feel Liam's glare on my back. Whatever idiot boy.

"You ready to go?" I asked cheerily as I intertwined our fingers. Harry stared down at our hands in confusion for a moment and I laid my head in his shoulder. "Liam from my group is here. Just act couple-y." I whispered. To anybody else in the hallway it might've looked like I was whispering sweet nothings into his ear not directions.

"Yeah, I'm ready." He smirked naughtily. Nicely done. Maybe this won't be so hard.

That is if I don't have to keep sacrificing my heart.
