"Oh my god! Harry what happened?!"

"Nothing." his voice shaking, he seemed nervous.

"Who did this to you?" I asked, almost whispering.

Although I don't know him well, it hurt me to see him in this state. I heard him sigh and straighten up a little.

"I just got in a fight. Stop worrying."

"You got in a fight?!"

"Yes."

"At six in the morning?!"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"That's none of your concern."

I sigh.

"Come on, I have a first aid kit in my locker. Let's get you cleaned up." I grabbed his arm, but he wouldn't budge. I sighed and stared at him.

"Please? I can't leave you like this, your injuries will get infected "

We continue to stare at each other when he finally sighs in defeat. We start walking to my locker and I also noticed that he was limping. I put my arm around his back to support and he stiffened at my action but he kept walking.

We finally reached my locker and I unlocked it, pulling out the first aid kit. I lean my back against the lockers and pull out some tissues from the box.

"Come closer, I don't bite.." I said half smiling, trying to make him feel comfortable.

He took a step closer and placed his hands on either sides of my head on the locker. His face almost 5 inches away from mine. I was feeling a bit nervous. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, his breath fanning my face. I took the tissue and placed it on his his temple to wipe off some blood. He winced, scrunching his nose.

"Sorry.." I mumbled.

I gently place it again, this time he didn't wince, so I started wiping his forehead off. He sighed once again and I kept wiping his face. He opened his eyes, and I could feel his intense stare on my eyes. I didn't stare back though, I just kept wiping.

"Do you have any friends?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"No.." I stared back for a second before turning my eyes back to his cheek.

"Why?"

"I don't need any."

"That's not true.."

He didn't reply. He just stood there, closing his eyes once again.

"Hey.." I said, making him open his eyes.

"If you ever need anyone, I'm here okay?" I said, finishing with his face.

"I don't need anyone." He said a bit aggressively, removing his hands and stepping away from me.

He then, walked away before I could even say anything.
I sighed, putting the kit back in my locker and taking my books for my next class. History. Great, I'm with Liam!

---

I sat down at a desk near the window. There was an empty seat next to me. Liam got in and took it.

"Hey!"

"Hey Liam!"

"First History class?"

"Yep." We kept talking until the teacher came. He sat on his desk, not even saying a good morning class.

"Um.. What was that? Oh.. good morning to you too." I said, sarcasm in my voice.

All the students turned to me with a horrified expression, including Liam. "Excuse me?" the teacher said, looking at me with a serious face.

"I said good morning. Is that wrong?" I asked faking an innocent face.

The teacher then, lowered his head continuing to write. I heard a low chuckle from behind and I turned to see, Harry, sitting at the back of the classroom. I rolled my eyes playfully and turned back around.

"Right! You.." he said pointing at me, "must be the new girl."

"So?" I ask, clearly showing him that I am not interested.

"So stand up and tell us about you."

"Riiight.. What do you wanna know?" I asked not standing up, as I was too lazy.

"Anything."

"Okay then. Hi, I'm Alice Johnson, I'm seventeen, I'm from the States and right now, I'm kinda bored."

Everyone around me started laughing and giggling. Why are they laughing? It's not damn funny. The teacher sighed in annoyance.

"You may sit back down now."

"Whatever.." I mumbled.

History went by fast. I would turn around every now and then only to meet Harry's eyes. Why is he staring at me?

---

I was waiting for the guys at the cafeteria. I saw Harry sitting at a table by himself. He bought the cheapest food in the cafeteria, which is a muffin and juice. Isn't he hungry?

I sat next to him, placing my elbow on the table to rest my head.

"What?" he asked, looking straight forward.

"Aren't you hungry?"

He stiffened at my words.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Hey give me your programme for a sec." He looks at me for the first time and I put my hand out waiting for him to give it. He sighs, reaching his pocket and pulling out his programme. I take a good look at it.

"Ooo, lucky you! We have like, 4 classes together!"

"What?!" he shouted, his eyes widening.

"Yep. What's the matter? Don't you want me?" raising my hand up to my heart, pretending to be hurt.

"Very funny Alice." he said taking the programme away from me and shoving it in his pocket.

I saw Louis and Niall entering the cafeteria and joining Liam and Zayn at a table. I didn't even notice them coming in.

"Well I'll see you later, so called 'bad guy'." I quickly stand up and ran to the boys.

''Whatever..'' he mumbled.

"Hey guys! How is your day so far?''

''Same old, same old.. Hey, why were you talking to Harry?'' Zayn asked me curiously, though I could see the surprise and worry in his tone.

''Well, we had History together earlier so I went to ask for his programme to see if we have any other mutual subjects.''

''Well, did he give it to you?'' Louis questioned.

''Yes? Why wouldn't he?''

''I don't know.. He is never so friendly with anyone.'' Liam stated.

''Maybe because all the others don't bother talking to him, or even look at him. Why are they so scared of him?''

''Because he is scary.'' Coming out as a question from Niall, making an 'it's-quite-obvious' face.

---

I was now in the last subject of the day. Physics. God I hate it. None of the boys take this class with me, but Harry does. I sat near him, which means all the way across the classroom from him. It wasn't my fault. If it were for me I would sit next to him, though there were no empty seats near him.

Physics felt like ages and I don't know why Harry keeps staring at me.

Finally, the bell rang, meaning that school ended for today.

---

I was walking to my car when I saw Harry again, walking towards the same way he was going yesterday.

''Harry!'' I yelled, trying to reach up to him. He turned around with a blank face.

''What?''

''Can I escort you on your way home?''

''No.'' he then turned around, continuing his way home.

''Please!''

''No.'' he said ignoring me.

''Great! Thank you for agreeing.'' I started walking next to him and he stopped walking to stare at me with an angry face.

''I said. Go. Home.''

''I don't remember you saying that.'' Acting oblivious to the fact that he doesn't want me to walk with him.

We kept staring into each others eyes.

''Alice. Go. Home.'' he said, taking one little step towards me, with now a furious face and a demanding voice.

''Not unless you let me give you a ride'' I suggested, coming out as a question.

''I don't need one. Follow me again, and you'll regret it.'' he threatened.

I decided that it won't do any good if I insisted. So, I sighed heavily, letting him know that he made me upset and turned around to head to my car.

''Jackass.'' I mumbled, though I wasn't sure if he heard me or not, and right now I didn't give a damn.

---

I sighed, throwing the keys on the coffee table.

A note on the counter, caught my attention.

''Alice, I had to go to work early today. I might also come back later this evening. Dinner is in the microwave. Don't miss mommy too much! Love you! :) xx''

Oh, great. Now what to do. I hate being all alone in the house. I feel insecure and scared. I was actually in the mood for some coffee. I grabbed my car keys and started driving around the city to find a coffee shop.
