Chasing Shadows // A Harry Styles Love Story Chapter One
I sighed at my appearance and brushed all of my silky brown hair over to one shoulder. It was naturally wavy, and i didn't style it. It sometimes looked frizzy, but then calms down and just bounces around my shoulders. I brushed it gently, and picked up my bag. I head downstairs for a spot of breakfast before leaving for school.
"Don't be late again!" Dad sighed.
"I won't!" I replied, opening the front door. My hair was tossed about my face immediately. I let out a loud sigh, grabbing my umbrella from the hanger and putting it up, stepping outside and fixing my hair.
"Great" I said to myself.
"Yup!" Said a loud, cheerful voice.
I turned my head to see Harry standing with his hood up and hands in his pockets, smiling at me.
"Oh, hey" I grinned, kicking a stone on the floor and smiling big at him.
"Are you going to let me walk under your umbrella with you" Harry said, in a childish voice.
"No I'm not" I replied, putting a voice on too.
"Why not!" He squealed.
"Because you have a hood on, as well as a jumper. I have a fricking cardigan and umbrella" I replied, stepping into a puddle and making the water splash up my leg.
Harry started laughing hysterically.
I scoffed, rubbing my leg frantically. "I hate rain!"
"No you don't" Harry said, looking up into the sky and back down at me.
"Yes, I do. I'm now cold, and wet!" I hissed, twirling my umbrella so some of the rain rolled off it and onto Harry's hood.
"Hey! Watch!" He cried, patting the top of his head and shaking his hands.
"That's what you get for laughing at my stupidity" I replied, holding my head up and quickening my pace.
"Mackenzie!" He cried, quickening his so he was at my side again.
"Harry!" I replied, entering the school gates and running under the shelter.
"Don't run away from me!" He cried, taking down his hood and shaking his head.
"Your like a dog" I joked, stepping back from the rain flying off of his hair. His head shot up.
"Jee thanks!" He laughed, hardcore flipping it and almost falling over.
"Come on dizzy" I giggled, grabbing the sleeve of his hoodie and dragging him inside.
"See you later yeah?" Harry said, giving me a quick hug.
"Yeah, go to the bench" I grinned.
"Yes, bye" He smiled, giving me a quick hug and leaving for class. I made my way down the corridors until I found English, I was already a little late.
"Sorry" I called, entering the classroom and rushing too my seat at the back off the class.
"Miss Young, please make sure you turn up on time, you missed registration" Mr Barnes sighed, shaking his head.
"Sorry" I said again, placing my bag on the floor.
"Were you with Harry again?" Zayn whispered, edging closer to me.
"Yeah" I replied in a whisper, tapping my pen on the table.
"Just date already!" He jeered, nudging me gently.
"What! No!" I giggled, pushing him lightly.
"Zayn! Mackenzie! Shush!" Mr Barnes hissed.
"Sorry" We both said.
It soon became lunch, so me, Zayn, Louis, Niall, Liam and Alyssa skipped to the bench we all met at. Niall and Alyssa were dating, the rest of the boys were single.
"I'm serious! Your always together! Just date! Your obviously perfect for each other, do it!" Louis grinned, punching my arm lightly.
"It's not as simple as that!" I giggled, turning the corner, and stopping dead in my tracks. On the bench, I saw Harry, and Lindsay Chalk. Swapping spit, right there, in front of me. Something died inside me, I don't know what, but my stomach felt like somebody had pierced something through it, it felt empty. Then I began to feel sick.
"Uh" Louis said awkwardly.
Zayn coughed.
I tried gulping back the tears. Why was I upset?
Harry stopped, and looked up at us all, red in the face.
"Hey guys" He said, standing up and scratching the back of his head.
"I need to go to the bathroom" I said, hardly able to speak. I rushed off quickly, ignoring Harry shouting my name.
