A Walk in the Sun Chapter Ten Danny came to school with a new do today. I'm not saying spiked, or slightly shorter, we're talking curls here! It went from being flat and straight, to curly and bouncy. I'm not exactly sure about how I feel about it yet. Tom got a new look to, he bleached his hair, and cut it short. I like the old hotties better. Danny was still on trial period, but he had proven my thoughts wrong. He wasn�t just some low life. He was actually the sweetest, most thoughtful, caring, and cutest boy in the whole UK. So what's the problem? 2 words. Harry Judd. He broke up with Eberlie the day before, and poor Eberlie was heartbroken. All she said in between sobs was "What�s wrong with me?" I really didn�t know what to say to this except the old' "nothin's wrong with u, don�t blame yourself, u can still be friends and maybe go at it again later". And on top of this, Harry wouldn�t stop IMing me. This is how our last conversation went. Harry- Hey Linley I need someone 2 talk 2 Linley- ok make it fast plez hw Harry- k there�s a girl Linley- oh who? Harry- someone just get over who Linley- ok, so? Harry- I like her, and she doesn�t know, and I need her Linley- so ask her out Harry- I can�t Linley- y not? Harry- she has a boyfriend Linley- tell her how u feel, get it off ur chest, she will understand Harry- no, I need her Linley- come on Harry this is high school *rolls eyes* Harry- I�ll tell her how I feel tomorrow Linley- k g2g HW Harry- bye! (Why couldn�t I have taken a hint?) Danny and I were doing better. I trusted him now. We walked through the courtyard during study hall, and sat on a bench. I leaned my head on his shoulder, and he ran his fingers through my hair. "I love you Linley," he whispered. "I love y-Harry! What r u doing here?!" I said as Harry came running over to us. Danny rolled his eyes and I mumbled "thanks for knocking". "Linley I need to talk to you alone," Harry said. Danny did not like the sound of this, but he kissed me quick and then went inside. "What is it Harry," I snapped. I was kind of angry at him for barging in when I and Danny were having a moment. "That girl I like...she's you," he said putting his face in his hands. "I love you Linley," he blurted out. "Harry! Calm down. I understand that you like me, but how could you love me? We�re not even that good of friends. And Harry I�m with Danny! And you just broke up with Eberlie! How would she feel if we started going out?" I said frustrated. "I love you Linley, really, and I don�t care about Eberlie," he remarked. "Harry, don�t say that, you know you still love Eberlie, she's your best friend," I answered. Harry stared at me "Linley-" he started. "No no no no! I don�t feel the same way you do, I�m sorry Harry," I said. Harry looked helpless again. "You�re my friend, and that�s all, leave me and Danny alone don�t make things worse," I said to him gently. Our eyes met. "I love you," he said one last time before walking away. Later that day, I was thinking about what he had said. We were 17 and 18 years old. Was there any such thing as really true love? Danny called me that night. "What did Harry want today," he demanded. I had no clue what to say. I was cornered. If I lied Danny would find out, and who knows what would happen. If I told the truth, he would get mad and knock Harry's lights out. "Harry told me he loved me," I said. "What?!" Danny said sounding angry. "Umm I think you heard me," I replied nervously. "He knows we're going out, he wants to ruin this for us, and I�m not going to let him," he said anger surging through his voice. "Danny please don�t hurt him," I pleaded. "Just tell me one thing Linley baby, do you love him back," he asked. "No Danny I love you, only you," I replied. At least I was pretty sure I didn�t like Harry... Back |
