Chapter Three

The remainder of the lunch period was spent explaining to Erica and Carter the details of my recent outburst on Harry, which resulted in gasps, widened eyes and laughter.

Its like nobody takes me seriously. I was just trying to protect myself from being the target of the rest of the guys in this school. I thought maybe if i stuck up for myself then everyone would realize I'm not as vulnerable as i may seem.

"Why the annoyed face?" Erica asked as she stopped laughing. "I think what you did was amazing! Nobody else in this school has the balls to do that." She said and i managed to smile a little. "Thanks." I said as i watched her check the time on her phone.

Maddy did the same on her phone and began to collect all of the garbage from the table onto her tray. "Aww fuck." Carter groaned. "I dont wanna go to English, Mrs. Daniston hates me." He groaned, earning a giggle from Maddy. "Only because you never show up, and when you do you always argue with her." She told him and he rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Maybe i wouldn't have to argue if she actually taught the lessons properly." He defended. "What class do you have next?" He asked me, changing the subject.

My mouth opened slightly before i closed it again, not knowing the answer to what he had just asked me. "No idea." I admitted and he smirked a little before holding out his hand. "Let me see your schedule." He insisted, so i reached into my bag, pulled it out, and placed it into his hands. He narrowed his eyes at the sheet of paper as Maddy leaned in to have a look as well. "Chemistry, room C13." She stated before sharing a quick smirk with Erica. What was that about?

"What?" I asked, questioning the look that the two of them shared, but Maddy only shrugged as she gave me a playfully michevious look. "Oh nothing.. I just think you'll enjoy that class." She stated and Erica snorted a laugh as Carter smirked. "Let's go we're all going to be late." He said and with that, we all grabbed our things and headed out of the lunch room, even though i was still unsure about what Maddy meant when she said i would enjoy that class.

All three of them had classes on the floor A, which meant it was up to me to find room C13 which i would guess is on floor C. After climbing a horrendous amount of stairs and wandering through many hallways, i finally found the correct room. The door wasn't shut so i carefully stepped into the doorway just enough so that i could see the teacher. I knocked carefully on the door and all eyes turned to me however by this point, i was used to it.

The male teacher removed his eyes from the paperwork infront of him and looked at me with a smile. "Jessica Elingston?" He asked and i nodded with a smile. "Come on in." He said as he stood up. I carefully took a few awkward steps into the room, unsure of where to go. "Class," the teacher began, drawing the attention of most of his students. "This is our new student, Jessica. I ask that you welcome her into the classroom environment in a mature and friendly mannor." He told them before looking back at me. "Do you have any preferences to what you like to be called? Or shall i just call you Jessica?" He asked. "Jess." I replied and he smiled. "Alright Jess. Would you care to take a seat beside Harry there at the back?" He asked and my eyes widened as my smile faded.

... Harry?

... Harry Styles?

I turned my attention to the back of the classroom and saw him, staring with a playful smirk still drawn on his face. Something tells me he is enjoying my frustration.

I then looked back at the teacher and smiled to the best of my ability. "Of course sir." I said politely before making my way to the counter and sitting on the stool next to Harry. I made sure not to make eye contact or say anything to him although i could see him staring at me from the corner of my eye. "Hello Jessica." He smirked. I felt an internally disgust feeling as i realized he now knew my name, but i wasn't going to let it show. I wasn't going to let anything show. I just simply got out my binder and wrote down the notes from the board.

He huffed a small laugh as he scooted his stool closer and peered over my arm, watching me write. "Wow. I cant believe i hit on a nerd." He said, still smirking. I glared at my paper as i continued to write, becoming more than slightly annoyed with my new lab partner. But still, i said nothing.

Suddenly i felt a small gentle tug on my hair until i realized Harry was twirling my long blonde locks in his fingers. "Your hair is so sexy." He whispered as he continued to play with my hair. Finally i had enough. I turned my head towards him and glared. "What the hell is your problem?" I whispered harshly at him, but the smirk still did not disappear from his face. "You." He winked and rolled my eyes in disgust.

I tried to focus on my work but was interupted again by a knock on the classroom door. I turned my head and looked towards the door only to be disappointed in what i saw.

"You must be Kienna!" The teacher enthused as my sister stood in the doorway looking as if she would rather kill herself then be here. "Yup." She said. Harry leaned over to me, even closer than before. "Is that your sister?" He asked. I shoved him away a little but pushing my shoulder into him. "You're in my space." I told him and he huffed a laugh as the teacher continued to welcome Kienna into the class. "Baby you can invade my space anytime you want." He said and i glared at him. "Dont call me that." I told him, but all he did was laugh.

"Oh Jessica, i find it so cute how you think you intimidate me." He said and i didnt reply. Instead, i focused my attention on my sister, who had just noticed me as she took a seat at a counter diagonal from Harry and I. We glared at each other until she noticed Harry and her expression changed almost instantly. She blushed a little as she bit her lip and smiled, giving him a flirtasious look. I watched him from the corner of my eye as he gave her one of those boyish head nods as he smirked. Gross.

Around halfway through the class, Mr. Rendee (as he had introduced himself apologetically five minutes ago since he had forgot to do so at the begining of class) decided it would be a good idea to let everyone do a mini experiment. The experiment evolved Mercury Bicarbonate added to Sodium Nirtrate. All we had to do was mix the two and record our observations. Easy.

As Mr. Rendee came around with the supplies needed for the experiment, i removed my binder and pencil case from the counter and placed it back into my bag. All that remained was a blue ink pen that i would use to record the required information onto the lab sheet. "Jess, Harry, here you go." Mr. Rendee said as he placed a bin full of supplies onto our table. "Please be careful, we dont want to scare off our lovely new student on her first day in class." He said, looking directly at Harry. He only waved him off. "Psh dont worry about a thing Sir," Harry told him. "I'm a professional at mixing Salt and air with the other stuff in these containers. I'd be happy to share my expertise with Jessica here." He said and i rolled my eyes. "Sodium Nitrate is not salt genius." I spoke, bursting his bubble and making Mr. Rendee raise an eyebrow. "And Murcury Bicarbonate is definitely not air." I said, laughing a little under my breath. How stupid can one person be? "Whatever. Its close enough." Harry shrugged and i shook my head in disapproval as i put on my goggles and opened the supply container.

30 unbearable minutes of Harry's cheesy pickup lines and a stressful lab later, i had only one step left to do. Place the Murcury Bicarbonate into the liquid mixture of Sodium Nitrate. So far, everyone in the class had not been able to complete the lab. Each group had either spilt toxic chemicals everywhere or didnt follow the steps right, and Harry and I were the only ones left to complete it.

I narrowed my eyes as i double checked the measurement of the liquid inside the beaker to make sure we had enough. "You're really good at all this science shit aren't you?" Harry commented, breaking my focus just a little bit. "I guess." I replied before dropping the Murcury into the beaker. Both Harry and i sat there waiting for the reaction, but this type of chemical reaction takes a while.

"I take it back. You're shitty at this stuff." He said after 40 seconds of waiting. "Well Jessica, i must say im really disappointed in y-" he began to speak but was interrupted by a loud popping sound that sparked from inside the beaker. He jumped, which made me smile internally. Mr. Rendee's head turned away from whatever he was paying attention to on his desk and looked towards us as the beaker continued to pop and fizz. "Thats awesome! Add more!" Harry said before reaching for the tongs, grabbing another piece of Murcury and throwing it in. I gasped with wide eyes as i didnt even have time to intervene. "Harry! What the hell! Oh my god!" I yelled at him, a panicked expression on my face. Everyone looked towards me as i looked around frantically trying to find something. "Back up!" I yelled at him and he laughed at me as if i was crazy. "Why? Its just a little salt and ai-" before he could finish, a huge popping sound echoed through the room making some students wince and cover their ears. And the next thing i knew the beaker had exploded and my lab sheet was on fire.

A girl nearby screamed and everyone cleared the area as i managed to grab a fire extinguisher. Harry had freaked out and fallen off his stool as Mr. Rendee rushed up to the counter and began pulling students away. Thankfully, i was able to put out the flames before it was too late, although getting both Myself and Harry covered in foam in the process.

When everything settled down i looked at Mr. Rendee who didnt look too pleased with what he had just witnessed. Harry, who was at this point sitting on the ground after falling off his stool looked stunned, as did I. It all happened so fast. And its all Harry's fucking fault.

"What in Gods name happened here?!" Mr. Rendee yelled as my idiot lab partner continued to stay still and horrified at what had just happened. Harry looked up at me, his expression still shocked as i gave him the dirtiest glare my face could possibly give. "Harry here was just sharing his expertise." I said as i continued to burn holes through his flesh with my eyes. Mr. Rendee looked towards Harry with darkened eyes. "You. Office. Now." He said to Harry before turning his attention back to me. "You as well." He spoke and my jaw dropped.

Never have i ever been sent to the office before. Especially not on the first day of school. I fucking Hate Holmes Chapel already and i hate Harry Styles even more.

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

I press the home button on my phone and glance at the time. 4:05pm. Still another 25 minutes to go.

I sigh and lean my cheek in the palm of my hand, still trying to ignore the arrogant asshole sitting behind me.

I cant believe this! My first day at Sir. Migginly High and here i am, sitting in detention for something i didnt even do. I never thought this would happen. Not in a million years would i have guessed that i would be sitting in this chair. Mom and Dad are going to kill me.

"You still ignoring me?" He asked again, for the seventh time in the past five minutes. I rolled my eyes although he couldn't see due to the fact that I'm sitting in front of him. And although I'm not saying anything out loud, there are a million and one things i would love to say to him. The first thing being that he's the biggest prick I've ever met.

"Oh come on Jessica. How many times do i have to say im sorry?" He asked and finally, i turned around. "How many times do you have to act like an arrogant asshole? Now shut up. We aren't supposed to be talking." I snapped and i turned back around. Even though i wasn't looking at him, i could sense the smirk plastered on his face.

"You know what my favourite thing about you is, Jessica?" He asked, but i ignored him. "The fact that you're the only girl in this school that doesn't have a thing for me. I find it challenging." He said. "And i like challenges." He told me. I nearly puked. This dude is unreal. "You're impossible." I said and he chuckled a bit.

I took a deep breath in. "20 more minutes and you're free to go Jess. Just push through" i told myself in my head. This past hour has been excruciating, not only because Harry is here with me, but because this room smells like a donkeys ass. To tell you the truth, I'd rather spend an hour with my sister talking about how popular and pretty she is.

Another five minutes went by before Harry spoke up again. "So if you're Kiennas sister, that means you're related to Ryan right?" He asked. "Mhmm." Was all i replied with. I could hear him get up and walk over to me before sitting in the seat right next to mine. "Your brother is a beast. He should join the football team." He said and i nodded. "Yeah definitely." I said with absolutely no expression in my voice, hoping to god that he would get the hint that i really wasn't in the mood to talk to him right now. But somehow i knew that he wouldn't get it.

"You know, I'm the captain of the football team. I could help him get a spot if he wanted it." He said. I looked at him with narrowed eyes. Unsure of whether or not he was actually trying to do something nice for my brother, or if this was just another game he was playing.

I eyed him carefully, trying to look for a hint of manipulation but soon became distracted by his god like features. His eyes; a dark forest green that seemed to stand out next to his curly chestnut brown hair. Oh and his Jawline looked as if it were carved by angels, and his lips so perfectly shaped. I wonder what it would feel like to kiss him.

Wait what.

EARTH TO JESSICA ELINGSTON?! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF FUCKING SPACE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?! THIS GUY IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE.

...

An asshole with such a cute nose and such a built physique, not to mention his dimples that seem to be permanently engraved into his cheeks and-

"Having fun staring at me Love?" I heard him say as i snapped back into reality, feeling my cheeks turn a bright shade of red. "I wasn't staring." I lied, but he didn't buy it. "Really? I think you were." He said with a smirk as he scooted his chair closer to me.

My body stiffened as he bit his lip, revealing his perfectly straight and pearly white teeth. "What are you doing?" I asked him, my voice getting shaky as he moves even closer.

What is happening to me?!

"Moving closer so you can get a better view." He smirked as he grabbed a strand of my long blonde hair. He was so close now i could smell the scent of cinnamon radiating off of him as he twirled it in his fingertips. "S-stop." I stuttered, which only made him smirk harder. "Whats wrong Jessica? Are you affraid of doing something you'll regret?" He smirked playfully and my heart stopped at his comment. Imagining doing something regretful with Harry made my stomach explode and my heart race faster yet slower at the same time.

I couldn't help myself. I let my eyes wander down to meet his perfectly carved lips, but quickly averted my gaze back to his eyes. He did the same thing and licked his lips. "Your lips look so smooth." He said as he removed his hand from my hair and traced his thumb along my bottom lip. I turned my head away from him and faced the front again.

He sighed with frustration. "Alright fine." He said, sounding slightly annoyed that i had refused his gestures once again. For the third time today i might add. "I'm done for today. But tomorrow's a whole new day Jessica, and i dont care how many tomorrow's i have to go through, and no matter how hard you make it. I'm going to get you." He whispered in my ear before standing up and heading back to his original seat at the back of the room.

My eyes widened and my heart stopped at that last statement. Get me? What the hell does that mean? I can only imagine the things going through his head. He's the school pervert, but what makes it worse is that he's a popular pervert and people find his attitude sexy. I'm not saying i do... I just.. Well... Uh...

The last 15 minutes were full of overthinking and awkward tension. As mentioned, this past hour has been torturous and as soon as the detention supervisor opened the door to dismiss us, i was already out of my seat and speed walking down the hallway.

I needed to get as far away from that room as possible and even farther away from that boy.
