Harper's pov:

My alarm rings and instead of growling at it and wishing I could break it to pieces, I lightly press the off button and jump out of bed feeling happy and well rested.

Why? Because, Ajax Carter is my boyfriend! How this even happened, I have no idea at all. I skip into my bathroom and look in the mirror, a daily routine.

Wow today I look better than usual. I still look like godzilla, but happy godzilla.

It's a bit chilly today so I decide on some sweatpants and a hoodie. Sweatpants that I haven't seen in like, weeks. I dig through a random pile of clothes that are on the floor and I come across Ajax's sweatpants. You know, the ones he was forced to give me when he covered me in mac n cheese.

I guess Devin was right, I didn't return Ajax's clothes hehe.

I pull them on, they are clean by the way, and I put on a plain black hoodie and tie my hair up into a neat bun.

I run down the stairs feeling very hungry.

'Morning mummy.' I kiss my mother on the cheek, she eyes me suspiciously.

'Good morning honey.' She says handing me a plate of eggs, bacon and toast.

'Thank you mom.' I smile and dig in.

'Is there a hot new teacher I don't know about?' She questions leaning on the counter top and sipping her coffee.

'What! Eww gross no.' I shake my head.

'Okay did someone buy you an unlimited supply of Doritos?'

'Noo. Why are you asking weird questions mom?'

'Well I don't know, maybe because you're acting all happy on a Monday and I know you hate Mondays. I even heard you screaming the intro song to The Powerpuff girls in the shower. So spill missy.' She raises an eyebrow.

I smile, 'I have a boyfriend.' And she squeals, really loud.

'Mother, stop!'

'Sorry, sorry. I'm just excited, I told you boys find you attractive idiot. Is he cute?'

'Yeah, yeah he's cute.' He's more than cute but my mother doesn't need to know how much of a creep I am.

'Oooo, has he kissed you yet?' She makes kissy faces. Honestly sometimes I wonder who is the teenager between the two of us.

'No he hasn't.' She makes a disappointed face.

'Really, dang. Wait what's his name?' She throws her hands up in the air. She is where I get my drama from but somehow mine was multiplied by ten.

'Umm his name is Ajax.' I mumble. Remember when I said my mother is holding a grudge, well she maybe kind of sort of still is.

'Ajax, as in asshole that made you cut your hair Ajax?'

'Yes, that Ajax and he's not an asshole.'

'Mhmm. Dinner today at seven.' She states taking my plate and placing it in the sink.

'I know that, I live here.'

'No, I want your boyfriend to be present as well.' She shrugs.

'What! No way it's way too soon mom. We started dating like yesterday.'

'I don't care, he better be here. Now get your ass to school.' She points at the door. I huff and stand up grabbing my bag and my phone. Why did I tell her?

~~~~

'Bestfriend! Heyyy.' Katie sings whilst running towards me. She's wearing her usual mini skirt, long sleeve t-shirt and platform boots, which make her look even taller than me. You know what they say "Every tall person needs a short bestfriend". Incase there is confusion I'm the short bestfriend.

'Hey Katie.' I hug her.

'Isn't it a lovely day today.' She spreads her arms and looks up at the sky. There's just grey clouds up there, the hell is she talking about.

'Who hit you in the head with a bat?' I question her, Katie doesn't like cold weather. She glares at me.

'No one dumbass I'm just happy.' She grabs my hand and we walk towards the gym.

'Oh, really yay. What are we happy about?' She smiles.

'Thomas asked me out on a date!' We both stop and squeal in the middle of the hallway earning us some annoyed glances. For people who don't like attention we sure know how to draw it to us.

'OMG really! When did that happen?' I ask when we enter the girls changing rooms.

'On Sunday. After all that drama with that Italian chic. Who is she anyways?'

'I have no idea, Ajax must have been friends with her growing up.' I shrug.

'I hope for his sake he's cut all ties with that bitch.' I laugh.

'It's over Katie, you don't have to be mad anymore.'

'It's not over until I slap her, you didn't hear the horrible names she called you.'

'Alright Katie, let's go.' I say dragging her to our gym class. I don't even want to know what kind of insults that girl threw at me.

The whole of gym class is spent by girls groaning and complaining and me just wishing it can end so I can see Jax in math class. Our devil of a coach keeps us for an extra five minutes which means I have to run like the freaking wind to my next class. No time to shower at all.

Katie and both run in the opposite direction. When I finally reach my class I'm out of breath and my once neat bun looks like a birds nest with a scrunchy on top. I open the door and everyone including Ajax turns their heads to face me.

'Harper, you're late.' Mr. Fernsby says.

'Erm yes I am. Did I tell you how much I missed you?' I say awkwardly. He rolls his eyes and a few students laugh.

'That doesn't explain why.'

'I slipped, and I fell.' I say unconvincingly.

'Take your seat Williams.' I nod and walk towards the free seat that's next to Ajax, tripping at least twice.

'Hey you.' He whispers, poking me with his index finger.

'Hey you, back.' I whisper, poking his cheek. He smiles and taps my nose. I poke his side and he pokes me back. The rest of the class is just me and Ajax poking each other and laughing silently.

'As homework please do the exercise on page fifteen.' Mr. Fernsby says dismissing us when the bell rings.

I check my schedule and groan banging my head on the desk.

'What's wrong mi cara?' Ajax asks me confused. 

'My next class is Chemistry. I totally forgot to study for a test we have today.' I groan again as we exit the class walking towards the Chem lab.

'You're smart babe. I know you'll ace it.' He winks and that familiar hot feeling comes back.

'I hope so Jax.' I sigh and he kisses my cheek making me blush even more. It's like his goal in life is to make me resemble the color red.

'I'll see you at lunch clumsy.' He winks again and walks away. Welp if I had a chance at passing this test, it's definitely gone down the drain now with my brain all jumbled and my body going haywire. It's Ajax's fault.

The test wasn't hard at all, I hate to admit Ajax was right. The only disturbing part was the glares I was receiving from Franchesca and her Barbie dolls. The rest of my classes ended fairly quickly.

When I exit my English class I find Ajax leaning by the door waiting for me.

'Hi.' I say awkwardly and he smirks.

'Those are mine aren't they?' He asks pointing at the sweatpants that are on my body.

'Pshh what no. These are mine.' I shrug.

'Ahuh sure. I totally believe you bought those huge ass pants for yourself.' He takes my hand in his leading me to the cafeteria.

'Yes I did Cary.'

'You like annoying me don't you?' He gives me a disapproving look and I giggle.

'Very true.' I tap his nose with my free hand and he smiles, a beautiful smile.

'You're lucky I like you clumsy.' I smile.

'What happened to shortcakes?' I ask whilst we're standing inline. People keep staring at us. Honestly, at least try to be subtle about it.

'Clumsy suits you better babe.' I roll my eyes.

'Well asshat suits you better.' I say sweetly.

'Aren't you sweet.' He says sarcastically.

'The sweetest.' I smile and he chuckles.

'Hey Tilly.' I smile at the lunch lady.

'Hello Harp. Here is your usual.' I smile and thank her. 

'Of course you would be friends with the lunch lady.' He laughs.

'It doesn't hurt to be nice to people. Aren't you getting anything?'

'Nope not hungry.' He says popping the p. I shrug.

We walk hand in hand towards our table where Devin, the twins, Thomas and Katie are already seated.

'Hey guys!' I greet enthusiastically and place my tray on the table. Ajax just sits down and pulls me onto his lap and rests his head on my neck. I don't object, instead I just take a bite of my burger.

'Aww aren't you two cute.' Devin says and I blush.

'Wait, I thought they hated each other.' Asher says confused.

'You know nothing dipshit.' Aden rolls his eyes at his brother, 'They've obviously liked each other from the beginning. I'm just surprised it happened this fast, you really don't waste time Jax.'

Jax gives him the middle finger.

'Just tell me the time and the place.' Aden winks and Ajax rolls his eyes.

'Gross you freak. I have a girlfriend.' He hugs me tighter.

'Whatever, we all know you want this.' We all give Aden unimpressed looks and Asher throws a french fry at him.

'You are all weirdos.' Katie says.

'And yet you still sit with us.' Asher sticks his tongue out at her.

'Yeah, only because you lot colonised our table.' She throws a napkin at him.

'Can I have a bite?' Ajax whispers looking at my burger.

'Hell naw. You said you were not hungry.' I shake my head.

'Well now I am. Please.' He pouts. Gosh, how can I resist the pout. I give in and let him have a bite. He smiles and and bites a chunk out of my burger.

'Hey! That was not just a bite.' He smirks.

'You know it's the girl who's supposed to steal food from their boyfriend not the other way around.'

'Sorry.' He says with his mouthful.

'Gross, don't talk with food in your mouth.' He rolls his eyes and pinches me.

'Ow, asshat.' I slap his arm and he chuckles.

'Like I said cute.' Devin interrupts our moment. Ajax shrugs and puts his head back on my neck.

'Oh hell no!' Katie shrieks looking at the entrance of the cafeteria.

We all turn our heads and look towards the door and there stands Carina, looking as gorgeous as ever. She scans the room and when her eyes land on Ajax she catwalks towards us.

Ajax groans and so do I. Katie looks murderous.

'Jax is that Carina?' Thomas points at her and Ajax nods his head.

'Hey ciccino.' She sings when she gets here looking at my Jax and ignoring everyone else.

'What are you doing here Carina?' He asks clearly annoyed but she doesn't catch it at all.

'Oh me? I'm just having lunch in my new school's cafeteria.' She flips her hair. I'm sorry what! New school? She learns here now?

'The fuck you mean new school.' Katie tries to stand up but Thomas holds her back.

'I learn here now. Aren't we all going to be the best of friends?' She says staring right at me with a fake smile on her face. Ajax must feel me getting tense because he kisses my neck and rubs my thigh, telling me that it's okay.

'So where can I sit ciccino?' She puts her slimy hand on Jax's shoulder. Ajax quickly shrugs her hand of and holds me tighter.

'I really don't give a shit where you sit.' Her smile drops. She goes to grab a chair by the empty table that's next to us but before she can actually sit down on it the bell rings signaling the end of lunch. We all stand abruptly trying to hold in our laughs. 

But Katie, being the savage queen that she is cackles and says, 'Even the universe doesn't want your stank-ass self sitting with us.' Carina glares at her then me, and I laugh. Unable to hold it in.

'I'll see you after school.' Ajax smiles at me. I nod and he winks, heading towards his next class with his friends.

****

I don't think I'll ever be able to make my chapters short. Oh well.
