Before I Met You

CHAPTER 5:"Alright guys. You may get up and go by your partners." Mrs.Lucas said after she was done partnering everybody.
I refused to move out of my seat, making Harry come over to me.
"Well hello partner." He smiled.
"You set this up, didn't you?" I hissed.
He shook his head. "Maybe it was just fate trying to show you that you can't keep everyone shut out your whole damn life."
"Listen here Harry, I told you this once, now I'm gonna tell you this twice, maybe I like being quiet and maybe I like shutting people out. It's my life."
"If you want to get a good grade on this project, then I suggest you let me in a little fucking bit." He snapped back at me.
I crossed my arms and just stared at him.
He raised his eye brows and all of a sudden, started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
He didn't answer me, just kept on laughing.
"Answer me!" I demanded.
"Y-you're funny Sam. I don't even know what I did to you, let alone why you hate me."
I looked away. When someone tried to get close to me, I pushed them away and tried to make them hate me. I knew though that making Harry hate me was going to be really tough though. He wasn't going to be able to crack that easily.
The bell that signaled that class was over rang and I packed up my stuff quickly.
"See ya." Harry said and left.
I made my way towards the cafeteria and sat down at an empty table.
Just my luck, Harry sat down by me.
"Go away." I said.
He shook his head. "I'm not letting you push me away."
"Why do you even care. Why the fuck won't you just leave me alone. For god's sake Harry, I don't want to be fucking near you. I don't want to hurt you. Every person I get close to, I end up hurting. Just leave me alone." I said, ready to burst out crying.
Standing up, I ran off towards the bathroom.
I sat in the stall for almost the whole entire lunch, not wanting to face anyone at the moment.
A couple of people came and went, not even noticing me.
"Sam." The British accent called.
I froze. Why the bloody hell was he in the girl's bathroom?
He peeked into my stall.
"What the hell do you want?" I sniffed.
"Sam. I'm taking you home after practice. I need to talk to you." He begged.
I clenched my teeth. "Harry. Just please stop. Don't bother with me."
He sighed. "Just come out. Please. The bell is gonna ring in a few minutes."
Sighing, I unlocked the door and stepped out. "Now get out of here before you get into deep trouble."
He smiled and we walked out. Thankfully, there was no one in sight to see him.
The bell rang and students poured out of classrooms and the lunch room.
I headed towards my fifth period.
The rest of the day seemed to go by fairly quickly.
It was extremely hot outside, and I had a feeling that practice was going to be hell.
After I was changed, I met up with Brooke and we walked out towards the field.
"So who did you get paired up with for the English thing?" She asked.
I snorted. "Harry."
She smiled. "That's cute."
I punched her arm. "No. Shut up."
"It's cute Sam. You two would be cute."
"I said no!" I snapped.
She rolled her eyes. "Whateverrrr."
"Alright! Ladies, come over here!" Brian said.
Once we were all around Brian, he smiled.
"So as you see, tomorrow is our first game. And we need captains. So. For this year, I decided to let you guys vote. Alright. The thing is that they have to be seniors." He said.
Every single freshmen looked at me.
"W-what? I haven't even played yet. I-I'm on junior varsity."
"All in favor for voting Sam, raise your hand." One freshman said.
And of course, all of the freshmen, and Brooke, raised their hands.
The freshmen counted as like 2/3 of the votes because they were the biggest amount of people in a grade.
"What!?" Katie, the stupid bitch from a couple of days ago yelled.
"Katie. Calm down." Beth said.
"BRIAN! This isn't fair!" She whined.
He shrugged.
"All in favor of voting Brooke, raise your hand." The same freshie said.
The same people, including me, voted for Brooke.
"Alright. That settles it! We have our 2014 team captains!" Brian smiled.
Practice went by rather quickly, even though the heat was outrageous.
After practice ended, Harry jogged up to me.
"You're coming home with me." He said.
"I'd rather walk thank you." I said sourly.
"No. Now you can walk to my car, or I can put on a scene." He said.
I crossed my arms and stared at him.
"Alright. Suite yourself!" He said and hoisted me up over his shoulder.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled.
"Taking you to my car!" He said.
"PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN YOU DIP SHIT!" I screamed, kicking and flailing.
We reached the parking lot and he put me in the back seat.
After he shut the door, I tried unlocking it, but the fucking child safety was on.
I crossed my arms and looked out the window.
Harry started up to car and we drove off.
"You piss me off." I said.
He smirked. "I know love."
"Don't call me that."
"Why not, love?"
I wanted to reach over the seat and strangle him.
We pulled into his driveway and he opened the door.
"Don't try to run off. I'll catch you and drag you into my house." He smiled.
I flipped him off and walked into the house.
"Mum?" He asked.
"Harry? You home?" A woman called.
We walked into the kitchen and I saw a woman, most likely Harry's mother, cutting up vegetables.
"Ah! You must be Samantha! I'm Anne, Harry's mum." She smiled.
"Nice to meet you." I smiled lightly.
They exchanged a couple of "how was your day?"s before we left to go to his room.
"Now why the hell did you kidnap me and take me to your house for?" I asked.
"Because. I'm not giving up on you Sam. You make me go crazy. Every night, I stay up thinking about you. About how you're a huge mystery. That you're absolutely beautiful. About how you won't let anybody in. Why?"
"That's none of your business." I said firmly.
He gripped my hand. "Please tell me. I want to help."
I looked at him dead in the eyes.
With a long, dead, cold stare, I said "You will never be able to help the monster I am."
