Harry's First Love Story
Chapter 3
Her phone suddenly went off, and everything went silent."Turn it off, Ms. Steinheimer."
"Yeah, yeah." She muttered, and dug in her bag. She leaned over and looked at the message, and I leaned my head just a bit over her shoulder and looked.
S: I Can't. They're doing it again!
A: Gimme one second.
Angelica raised her hand. "Yes?"
"May I use the restroom, Mrs. Lin?" Angelica asked sweetly.
"Go."
I saw her pick up her bag and sashay out of the classroom.
Ugh. I'm so nosy, now I wanna know who texted her. It's probably no one important.
----
Five minutes later she came back in. As she sat down, I wrote her a note.
'Who was that? If you don't mind me asking.'
-H
'Just a small issue I had to help out with.'
-A
'What was it? Who was it?'
-H
'You're so nosy, pay attention.'
-A
I stopped, realizing she didn't want to talk about it. So instead I wrote:
' sorry if I'm annoying. :c'
-H
'It's cool. :)'
-A
Then the bell rang, and I headed to my third period class. Science.
---- fifth period.
"Hi, I'm ASB President Kirsten, I'm here to inform you about our upcoming homecoming dance. It will take place on June 6. Guys ask girls event, and the theme this year is Paris. Any questions? No, good, done. K bye."
---- lunch.
I got in line with the lads, Niall begging to cut in front of me.
"Go right ahead." I chuckled and looked past him, and saw Angelica talking to the black haired girl that I saw walking away from her this morning. They were being a bit secretive about it, and the girl had tears in her eyes. Angelica put her hand on the small of the girls back and motioned her to leave. The girl walked away, tears falling down her cheeks.
I left the line, ignoring questions from the lads, and went over to Angelica. "Hey. Who was that?"
She looked up from her phone, and I saw anger behind her eyes." Oh no one. Whatcha need?" She put her phone away.
"I just saw your friend walk away crying, what is it? I know I seem annoying, but why?"
"She's not my friend, never has been, never will be." She snapped, putting her hands on her hips. Her anger turned to sadness, and she broke down, crying. I hugged her, and her tears stained my shirt, and I felt her body shake when she sobbed.
"It's ok."
"No. It's not." She said after calming down, never quite pulling away from me. I looked over Angelica's shoulder, looking to the table the girl was sitting at, but she was gone. "Why isn't it ok?" I sat down at the nearest table, motioning for her to sit next to me. She sat down right- I mean - right next me and put her forehead on my shoulder. "Because. She texted me saying she needed help- that was in 2nd period. And I can't have my sist- I can't have her- why am I telling you this. It's nothing, ok?"
"Ok." I turned to her and she hugged me again. She looked like she was about to start crying again.
"Are you hungry? Do you wanna go get in the lunch line?"
She sniffed, then said," sure."
We got up and got in line.
Once we were out, I said out of full concern," do you want me to sit with you?"
"Since you are my only friend, sure. Why not?" She managed a smile.
I smiled back. "M'kay."
"Yeah, yeah." She muttered, and dug in her bag. She leaned over and looked at the message, and I leaned my head just a bit over her shoulder and looked.
S: I Can't. They're doing it again!

Notes
So, I've previously written this on my phone, and I've never published this one before...
