MAR, 2017

A few weeks had passed us by since Harry and I had our first study session together.

We've had a few more since then, mostly simple talks between us as we discussed the topics that we were writing about and how to fit them altogether in an essay. While we had continued doing our own separate writing, we had yet to read each other's work.

I think that we were both nervous for the day to come where we had to lay out our open and honest feelings about the entire concept of love. It was a sensitive and personal topic, and to discuss it between two people that were better off as strangers now was a tough pill to swallow.

No wonder why we both kept putting off starting to combine our work together.

Today was Friday, and while this random day had no real significance to it compared to every other day of the week, today was the day that the Tigers had their first football game of the season.

It was one of the many social events that I had never attended before - not seeing any relevance in me going to a game that sported Harry as a main character, running around on the field as everyone undoubtedly chants his name.

He was a hot topic at school after all, and hearing not only the cheerleading team yelling out his name in encouragement, but the crowd as well? It wasn't something that I thought I'd ever have a good time going to, so I never did.

Apparently this year was a big change for me in many ways, as I was currently at home with the girls and getting ourselves ready to go and watch the first game of the season tonight.

It didn't take much convincing on their behalf to get me to agree to go. Harry and I were on amicable terms with us working on this assignment together, and I didn't feel so bothered in going to a game where I knew I would be seeing him at, the main star of the show really.

I was actually kind of excited to go to a footy game as I had never watched the sport being played before. I didn't know the first thing about football. The rules were lost to me and I didn't care to learn about the game, merely wanting to go tonight to not only experience this with my friends, but to hopefully feel some kind of adrenaline as I watch an incredibly tense game.

From what I've been told, barely anyone beats the boys at our school, and while that arrogance could so easily go to their heads, they have every right to be cocky when they seem to win every game that they play. The girls told me that there was only one team that always seemed to give them a run for their money, and that was the team of the private school near us.

Halsten Prep was a school that was generally filled with teenagers that thought they were above everyone else around them. They were pristinely dressed and spoke in proper terms majority of the time, always thinking that they were the ones to beat just because their parents funded a lot of money into the school as if they were special. They apparently thought that they were more important than the teenagers that attended public schools, and those kinds of people irritated me to no end.
