STAND UP
Chapter 9
A week has gone by since Harry and I hung out. he's back in Europe by now. We talk once in a while though. I heard some rumors that he's coming to LA in a few days, I don't know how true that is. And I don't even know what happened to us, we do use smiley faces and hearts in our conversations. But, we kissed and he left. I guess we have 'a thing' but I don't know what to call it. I've been wondering, was I just lucky or was it meant to be? I guess if it were meant to be, then he would come back. I told everyone what happened including our kiss. They finally believed me especially when I showed them the photos and video of us skydiving - that was insane. Today's Monday, the first day of spring break, thank God! I'm with Taylor and Chloe at the park nearby my house. I heard them gossiping while I was going through some of Harry's random tweets. "And then she was all like, 'go away!' Then I'm all like 'no!'" Taylor said to Chloe. I wasn't paying attention to the topic at all. "What do you think, Marisa?" Chloe asked."Um, total bitcch right there!" I didn't know what I was talking about, but it seemed to work. Then, I spotted Jenna and Colton on the other side of the park making out - typical. Colton, my ex, and I went out nearly for a year from sophomore to junior year. He made me feel great, until I caught him in bed with Jenna, which broke my heart. I cried myself to sleep for months, but I'm finally over it. Jenna gives me hell. I didn't do anything to her nor her friends. At camp in freshman year, we went hiking at Mount Williamson (the second tallest mountain peak in Cali). We were up there for 4 days. We were having a blast until Jenna and her friends ditched me and I got lost. Another time, I was at a party she happened to be at, and she locked me in the parents' bathroom. I never forgot what Harry said to me, "You're probably so popular huh?" I wince at the thought because its nearly the opposite. I swung back and forth on the swing set. I was with friends, but I still felt alone. I spotted Colton walk my way. He slowly walked up to me and I stopped swinging. "I heard you kissed someone." He said with no emotion."Yes." I said sourly. I always try to avoid him but he always finds a way to talk. "With that gay guy, right?" He replied."He's not gay, or he wouldn't have kissed me dumbshiit." I said repulsively. He had a stern look on his face."Why can't you just be nice, this is way everyone hates you." He said and walked away. I didn't bother me, I was just glad he left."Douche Bag!!" Taylor and Chloe yelled. I laughed with them and I knew he heard it. All I wanted at this point was to talk to Harry. He made me happy. One, because he was a celebrity. And two, he made me feel good. "If Harry doesn't come back, I know why." Taylor said. "You're younger!" This was true and it made me laugh. But, in about 5 days, I'd be the same age...
