Chapter 2 - The Shoe
Taylor's POV
I stuffed the shoe into my bag and ran downstairs.
"Mum, I'm going to school now." I said while reaching for the door and heard her say "Bye" from outside.
Well it's gonna be just another shitty day at school I guess.
A/N. Or so she thought... OOPS I DID IT AGAIN
I was only a few feet away from the school gates and saw a bunch of girls wearing high heels... Well or high HEEL. And they were all one colour...
RED.
What is up with them? Is this some kinda competition?
I walked through the school gates and saw a long line of girls lining up and they seemed to be all screaming and shouting.
All because of my curiosity, I walked all the way through the line to see what's happening in front and then I saw him.
Harry Styles. Or well... Ella's Prince Charming of course.
He was banging his head onto the table he sat around as he continued eliminating girls.
I bravely walked towards a guy with jet black hair that stood at the corner of the table and asked, "Um, Excuse me, what's this?"
"Um... If you wanna cut lines, just say so, don't have to pretend you don't know anything." He said without looking at me.
Oh wow, cool. So you wanna play it this way huh? FINE! It's just lining up, no big deal. Right?
I walked slash stomped all the way to the end of the line and stood there for what seemed like ages as I rolled my eyes at all the girls who were screaming "He's so gonna pick me" or "OH EM JEH I'M FINALLY MEETING HIM!! AAAAAHHH!"
Finally it was my turn. I stood in front of Harry Styles and swallowed nervously.
He looked up and took a glance at me which has already sent shivers down my spine and looked back down.
"Where's your item?" He asked coldly.
"I-item? W-what do you mean?" I asked shakily since I barely even talk to more than two person at school everyday including the janitor.
"Didn't you read the sign?" He raised an eyebrow pointing at the huge sign next to him.
MYSTERIOUS GIRL WHO DANCED WITH HARRY STYLES TWO NIGHTS AGO. DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SURVIVE.
I laughed at the sign a little.
If Ella found out he did this for her, she'd be dead by now.
"So where's your item?" The guy with jet black hair that ignored me a while ago asked.
"I-I don't have any item." I shook my head, ashamed.
"Then what the hell are you doing here? You're wasting our time." He replied.
I could feel my temper rising already. Usually I wouldn't snap back at him since they're the more 'superior' people of this school but this time I didn't know why but I just had to. Maybe it's because Ella went missing and I just needed attention. This drop dead gorgeous jet black hair guy that was standing in front of me was getting in my nerves. "Pumpkin, actually you're wasting my time." I looked up at the guy with a raised eyebrow.
"Wait, what did you call him?" Harry's voice appeared from below.
I ignored him and walked away.
I'm gonna be late for class!
Harry's POV
"Pumpkin, actually you're wasting my time."
That word struck me like a lighting bolt.
Pumpkin?
~Flashback~
I grabbed her hand and she turned around, looking as if she was late for something.
"What's your name? You haven't told me yet and this is wasting my time." I smirked at her as she continued laughing.
"Pumpkin, actually you're wasting my time." She smiled and then there she went running away while grabbing another girl's hand.
~End Of Flashback~
I regained consciousness and quickly looked up at the girl who just walked away.
She doesn't seem to look anything like her though.
This girl who just walked away looked nothing like her. But that attitude, the sentence she just said.
Could it be her?
Only one way to find out.
Taylor's POV
URGH!!!!! My freaking pride!!!! That dude did not just... Oh wait, I'm invisible and what happened to my stay-low-don't-stand-out attitude? Did I just lost it because of him?
He will pay for this.
But that's impossible and it doesn't really matter anyways since I'm invisible and he'd forget about me in like what? 3 seconds?
I sighed while I opened my locker door.
Can this day get any worse?
Just lost my best friend and now embarrassed by some guy!
I stomped towards class in frustration and rested my bag at the back of my chair.
Thank you, life.
I ran my fingers through my hair and rested my head on the table, banging my head on it constantly.
Suddenly, I could hear the voices of a bunch of guys laughing and joking which obviously tells you the jocks are here, typical Harry, the man of Ella's dreams and his 4 musketeers.
I completely forgot I share history with these people.
Ew, can this day get any worse?!
I looked up and saw jet black hair dude sat down right next to me and Harry behind me.
This is not gonna be a quiet class for me.
And don't blame me for not knowing his name since I never really could remember his yet I could remember all the other four's.
Mr. Rain walked in after a while and he rested the textbook on the table, putting on his glasses, he started, "Goodmorning class."
"Good morning Mr. Rain." We all sang lazily.
"So, I know how all of you are so in love with projects, I've decided to give you one."
Everyone started whispering and cursing, including me.
"And don't worry, I won't let you do it alone. I'll pair you guys up. And since I know if I paired you up with the same gender you would all just talk, I'm gonna do it different this time."
OH GOD CAN THIS GET ANY WORSE?!
Most of the girls were shrieking in excitement and the majority were just like me, whining.
"Tara with Tyler. Linda with Niall. Kathy with Liam."
Please give me a smart one PLEASE! PLEASE GIVE ME MIGUEL.
By the way, Miguel is the nerd.
"Penny with Zayn. Renee with Louis. Kim with Harry."
YAS! YAS I CAN HAVE MIGUEL YAS!!!!
"And Taylor with Mi-"
Before Mr. Rain could finish, he was cut off by Ella's Prince Charming. And yes, I will keep on calling him that rather than just using his name because this makes the story look a lot more Cinderella-like.
"Mr. Rain, I would like to be partners with Miguel."
"Harry, it's a boy-girl project, I'm afraid I can't do that." He said, removing his glasses.
"But it's not fair that Taylor gets to be with Miguel. They're both smart and it gives them the advantage!"
Everyone in class started agreeing with Harry.
Oh my god, DON'T AGREE WITH HARRY, MR. RAIN PLEASE!
And ooh, is that a compliment?
"Well then you can be with Taylor instead."
Harry and I exchanged glances and then we both said,
"No." "Yes."
Well I said no, he said yes.
"NO!" I shouted in a stern voice and stood up from my seat.
That was the first time in a century I've ever shouted to anyone besides myself in the mirror and I blame my weird new brave attitude on Ella being gone.
