》Difficult Love (Harry Styles FF)《

Sarah

"Wake up Sarah! You don't want to be late!", my mum shouted. She was already sitting in the kitchen, eating breakfast.

Summer holidays are over and today is the first day of school.

I groaned rising up from my bed. I got up, and went straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After showering, I brushed my teeth and went to my room to dress myself. I slipped in some black leggings and a light-blue oversized pullover, and walked down to the kitchen where my mum was sitting, reading the newspapers.

"Morning darling. How did you sleep?"

"Good.", I answered. "Could you give me a ride to school?"

"Yeah of course. I'm going to leave in 10 minutes."

"Okay thank you."

I sat down and ate my breakfast and drank some coffee. Finished eating breakfast, I put the plates into the dishwasher and then my mum drove me to school. It was just a 3 minute ride which was comfortably silent. My mum stopped right in front of the building, I thanked her and we said our goodbye's.

I rushed into my school trying not to bump into other students that were walking around. The door opened and the smell of new, renovated school hit my nose. It was a familiar smell that I haven't smelled for a while. There were already a lot of people in the hallway pacing around to find their friends and they were on their way to their first classes. I walked straight to my locker and got the school books I needed for the day. I was searching for my best friend Ashley. I couldn't find her so I decided to text her.

S: Hey. Where r u?

A: I'm  already in our first class.

Right after I read the message, I paced to the classroom where we had our first lesson in. I entered the class and I could already see Ashley sitting in our usual place, waiting for me. When she saw me entering the class, she ran towards me and we hugged each other tightly. We haven't seen each other at all during the summer holidays, because either she was on holiday, or I was.

"Hey cutie, how are you? How were your holidays? Oh my god, I missed you so much.", she greeted me excitement clearly seen in her face.

"Hiii. I am doing very fine. How are you?"

"I am also fine. How were your holidays?"

"Actually quite fun. How were yours?"

"It was nice not having to go to school and learning for any revisions and stuff."

"Yeah it was." , I chuckled slightly.

We continued to talk about our holidays, and what had happened while we didn't see each other. Of course we didn't leave out the gossip we heard about other students or teachers in our school. Our teacher, Mr. Anderson, entering our class, interrupted our conversation by clearing his throat. And everyone in the class sat down on their seats.

"Hello everyone. For the ones who are knew here, I am Mr. Anderson, your biology teacher. I am going to call out all the names on my list and you just raise your hands m'kay?"

He called out all the names of the students in our class, and when he mentioned my name I raised my hand. He looked up at me and smiled. I was one of Mr. Andersons favourite student, which everyone already noticed. Ashley noticed Mr Anderson smiling at me, and she rolled her eyes slighty annoyed. Maybe a little jealous too. I just chuckled at her reaction.

Jealous huh? :D

I wrote on the table. She read it and slapped my arm playfully.

Me? Nu huh :D

During the whole lesson I took a hell lot of notes because I wanted to be organised at the beginning of the school year. Ashley however, didn't write down any notes. She was too busy writing Nick (her boyfriend) or applying make up.
Finally, the bell rang and the teacher ended the lesson, telling us we had no homework and we all started to pack our things together and exited the class room. On the hallway we met Nick. He was very tall and handsome. He has brown eyes and is very masculine. Everybody knows Nick and every girl in this school has a crush on him. Including me. And of course Ash is the lucky one and is the girlfriend of him. So everybody knows her too.

They greeted each other with a very heated kiss, in the middle of the hallway. During their kiss a lot of students walking by, were staring at them, and I was just standing awkwardly next to Nick and Ash, not daring to look at them. I generally don't like to watch a couple make out in front of me so I always look away.

"Can I talk to you alone?" he asked her after their 'greeting'.

She looked at me, asking me silently if it is okay for me and I nodded.

"Yes of course. Bye Sarah. We'll see us at lunch alright?"

"Okay. Bye."

I think Nick is a very nice person, but sometimes he is a little weird. He never really talked to me nor looked at me once really. I don't know if it has to do with me or with Ashley. Maybe he doesn't like me... Yeah. That's what it must be.
I  started to walk to my next class when I bumped into a body. As I looked up to see who it was, Niall my bestfriend was standing in front of me.

"Hey Niall! I am sorry.", I said hugging him tightly.

"No problem. What's up?"

"Nothing much. What about you?"

"Nothing much either.  So why didn't you call?"

"I am sorry but I was travelling a lot and I-", I rambled.

"It's okay I wasn't even at home either." He laughed.

"Then why are you trying to make me feel bad because I didn't call? You could have called me too..."

"You're right. I actually have to go to class now, but do you want to go to a party on friday?"

"Yes I do. When is it?"

"I'll just call you and pick you up at your place."

"Okay bye. "

"Bye."

I looked at the clock and realised I just have 2 minutes to be on time to my next class. So I quickly paced to my class and I reached it exactly when the bell rang. I entered excusing myself shyly. My face started to heat up and I could feel the redness in my face. I looked at the floor so nobody can see my red face. The teacher said it was okay and I took a seat next to Ashley who was already sitting there, smirking at me. I never was 'late' and this was also the last time I am going to be 'late' to class.
