Harry's POV:

Right before school gets out, the boys and I leave. Mostly to avoid seeing Sky and Mandy. She and Louis are together but he hates her and the boys and I think it's hilarious.

We go to the lake which is a place we hang out at a lot. Everyone knows it's our area so no one comes down here unless they are invited, if you show up uninvited we will, more than likely, take it as a threat.

We get out the beer and start drinking. We don't like to drink often, though. We kind of just do it for our image, which seems very typical, I know. Although, I'm not really in the mood for drinking. One of the many things the leaders taught us is to never drink till you’re drunk, always stop when you still know where you are, you never know when you'll have to fight.

"Lou, when will you just break up with her?" Liam says laughing.

"She's hot mate. I have needs and she satisfies them," Louis cockily smiles. "I don't want a real relationship, especially not with Mandy." He gags.

"Harry, you don't even like Sky either." Niall says.

"I have the same situation as Louis." We laugh.

We talk about random things when a dark car pulls up. Tate, and his little band of pussies.

"What do you want, Tate." I spat.

"We just came because we were wondering how you're doing!" He sarcastically says.

"Shut the fuck up. What do you want." I say.

"We just came to warn you." Colton says. Colton and Tate are the boys we kicked out of the gang because they were dicks.

"Warn us about what?" Liam asks, though not adding much enthusiasm.

"You'll find out." Tate says and they get back in the car.

"What the hell." Niall says but we were all thinking on what they were going to do, and whatever it was, we had to be ready.


Beth's POV:

The next morning I do the exact same thing I've been doing the last couple mornings. Getting ready for hell. But for some reason I'm looking forward to seeing Harry. Maybe it's because when I see him I think about Sky, and when I think about Sky, I think about hitting her with my car. Maybe that's why I like to drive again.

When I get to class, Harry isn't there, but guess who is, Sky and Mandy.

"Hey, Bethy." Sky says and sits down next to me.

"Hey." I say not taking her shit.

"So I hope you're having fun sitting next to Harry." She whispers.

"Yeah it's been a blast." I say sarcastically and start writing down the notes Mr. Johnson has already put up.

"Well that's great. If you think that he actually likes you, even as a friend, you are crazy." She says like she's trying to make me angry.

"I don't care, Sky."

"Can I ask you a question, Bethy?"

"Whatever." I say

"Do you know who your mum’s boss is?" Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Does the name Mr. Robinson sound familiar?" Fuck. Her dad is my mum’s boss.

"Yeah, it does." I whisper.

"Well if I even see or hear about you talking to Harry outside of schoolwork, you can make sure your mum won't be coming home employed. Got it?" She asks.

"Got it." I say and turn back to my notes.

"Good. See you at the party Bethy!" She says and leaves. Mandy just watches me.

Right as I finish writing down the notes that are on the board, Harry walks in.

He looks exhausted and angry, but he lightens up a little when he sees me. Shit.

"Hey." He says and I smile at him. My mum can't lose her job. It would be impossible to find a new one right now. Dad doesn't send money anymore, this is why I'm not risking it with Harry.

"What's wrong?" He asks, looking at me intently.

"Nothing," I say. "You should take down those notes."

"Okay." He says shaking it off.

The rest of the week was pretty much the same. Harry would try to talk to me and I would just give him short, basic answers. But he didn't stop trying.

And tonight's the party.
