TATTOOS

Chapter 1

~Hazel POV~

"I'll see you tomorrow hazelnut"
"See you tomorrow Izzaliscious"
I gave my best friend Isabelle a hug then I ran to my moms car.

"Hey Hazel. How was school?"
"It was great mom"
"What happened?"
"So I heard we're getting a new student and that we're going to have a project where the teacher assigns partners and we have to make a mural based on The Great Gatsby"
"Sounds fun"
"I hope I get Isabelle as my partner"
"Speaking of partners. Dad has to stay late at the hospital to help his coworker"
"Uhh he's always at the hospital"
"I know sweetie but at least he's helping people"
"Yeah. Your right"

We continued to talk until we pulled near the gate. We live in a gated community so we had to stop to unlock the gate. Once we got near our house we saw that a new family had moved in next door so me and my mom decided to go over and greet the new neighbors.

Mom: Hi I'm Claire brooks and this is Hazel"
"Hi. I waved to the new neighbor
"Hi. My names Anne Cox and this is Harry"
She pointed to a very tall boy who was wearing a black t shirt, tight black skinny jeans with black boots and had what seemed like very long hair pulled back into a bun. He was leaning on the wall eating a banana. There was one thing that stood out about him to me, his tattoos. He had almost a whole sleeve on his left arm and only one on his right arm. The coolest one was probably the rose because it was the biggest one. Anne invited us in and we all sat on the couch. Harry put his feet on the coffe table.

Anne: Harry take your feet off of the coffe table
Harry: sorry mum

When Harry said mum I knew he must've been British plus his accent sounds very British. The moms kept talking and I sat there looking around and Harry was playing with the pieces of his hair that wasn't up in his bun.

"Uhh mum? Who are these people in our house?"
Anne: they are very lovely neighbors who came to say hi

I turned around to see a very pretty girl. I'm guessing she's Harry's sister (obviously she called Anne mum).

"Hi. I'm Gemma styles"
Harry: Gemma they don't need to know our last names. He looked up at her
Gemma: shut up Harry (She rolled her eyes at him)
Mom: hi I'm Claire
"And I'm Hazel"
Gemma: that's a very lovely name
"Thanks"
Gemma: well it was nice meeting you two but I have to go
Anne: be home by dinner
Gemma: ok

Gemma leaves then Anne asks us if we want to stay for dinner. My mom says yes

Mom: it was very nice to meet you guys but we have to leave now
Anne: come on Harry. Harry slid up off of the couch and we all walked over to the door.
"Bye Mrs.anne. Bye Harry"
Anne: bye sweetie
Claire: bye Anne bye Harry
Harry just put up the peace sign. Anne tapped him on the shoulder.
"Bye" he mumbled.
"I guess he doesn't like people or talking" I say to myself

Me and my mom walk down to our house and we go in. Our house isn't humongous but it is big. I put my school bag and shoes in the laundry room. I take my books out my bag and  bring them upstairs to my room. I start my homework since I'm going over Harry's later. After I finish my homework I check my phone to see the time. "5:15pm" I go downstairs and sit next to my mom on the couch.

"Hey mom"
"Hey Hazel" she says looking up from her MacBook. "Did you finish your homework?"
"Yes. Actually I came down here to ask what time we were leaving?"
Mom: Anne said to come at 6:30
"6:30?!"
Mom: yea. Is that a problem?
"No I just have so little time to get ready"
Mom: well get moving

I go upstairs and grab a towel and take a quick shower. After I get out the shower I dry my hair and put it up in a quick bun. My hair is a dirty blonde color and it goes to my mid back. I find a navy blue dress with a cream bow, cream flats with straps and a cream cardigan. I but my hair in a neat bun and put on light brown eyeshadow, eyeliner, light blush, and nude pink lipstick. Then I put on a gold infinity sign necklace with a matching bracelet. I put a clear phone case on my phone because the galaxy one doesn't match. Then I grab my cream bag and go downstairs. I wait in the family room for my mom. She comes down wearing a maroon dress, nude heels, gold jewelry, light makeup and her hair is slightly curled. My mom grabs her nude bag and we walk over to Harry's house. We arrive at the black and brown stone house on the corner. We go up to the door and I ring the door bell.

"Harry answer the door" I hear Anne tell Harry.
"I'm shirtless mum" he says back
"Ok go get some clothes on and I'll answer it" she says back to him. I can hear Anne's high heels getting closer as she walks to the door and opens it for us.

"Hi Hazel. Hi Claire" she says with a huge smile on her face.
Anne: come in
"Hi Mrs.Anne"
Mom: hi Anne
Anne: you guys can go in the living room with Gemma and Harry will be down soon.
I walk over and sit next to Gemma on the couch. She's wearing khaki pants, a white sleeveless button up that's tucked into her pants, black lace oxfords and a red cardigan.

"Hi Gemma"
Gemma: hi Hazel.
"So are you in high school?"
"No I'm 20" she says while laughing.
"Your twenty. You look 16"
Gemma: Nope I'm 20
"Are you going to go to coll- as I was about to ask Gemma if she was going to college, Harry walks into the living room. He's looks really nice in his outfit. He's wearing a pale yellow button up with the top buttons undone, faded black skinny jeans, tan boots. His hair is down and it's pretty long. He sits a little bit away from Gemma on the couch. Mom and Gemma talk so I go sit near Harry to talk to him.

"Hi Harry" I smile at him
He put his ring back on his finger after playing with it and he looks up at me.
"Hello" he says with a fake smile. I let the fake smile pass to the back of my mind and continue to talk to him.

"So are you from here?"
Harry: no. Why does it matter?
" it's just you have such a thick accent and it's sounds British"
Harry: well I was born in Worcestershire but I was raised in Cheshire.
"That's sounds fun"
"I guess" he says shrugging his shoulders. "Where were you born?"
"I was born in Sacramento but my parents moved down here because it was closer to the hospital my dad works at"
Harry: your dads a doctor?
"Yes"
Harry: is it sad that he's always at the hospital?
"Yeah I guess but I see him when he's home on the weekends"
"Dinners ready" Anne yells from the kitchen.
Harry: well dinners ready we should go to the table
We look around and see that Gemma and my mom disappeared
"Yeah. They left us"

We get up and we walk into the dinning room. There's only two chairs left and they're right next to each other so I have to sit next Harry.
