《The Heart Wants What It Wants ✔️》Ch. 17
Advertisement
My time with Chris ended shortly, but I guess that's what they mean when they say time flies when you're having fun. In a matter of no time, it was already Monday. I was getting dressed to go back to school.
I said my goodbye to Mike and hopped on my motorcycle. I was too lazy to walk today. I smiled lightly at the roar of the engine. This will call a lot of attention, but I am too lazy to walk/ take the bus.
I zoomed past the cars and arrived in school. I saw many students stopping in their tracks to look at me. I parked my bike and took off my helmet. Sorry to dissapoint, but there was no wind that blew my hair to the side. My hair was actually all messy and knotted.
I ran my hand through my hair multiple times before finally thinking it was okay. Grabbing my bag, I ignored the looks and murmurs of students and went inside. I kept a blank face, but secretly loved all the comments I was getting.
'Damn who is that?'
'Dude, I saw her driving a freaking Harley Davidson'
'Damn she's hot'
'Is she a new student?'
'Ugh she's not even that pretty'
'I know right!'
'The boys want hot, I'll show them hot.'
' Is that Harley?'
'I think it is...'
'She looks different'
I looked towards the people who said the last three. I saw Jaxon, Reece, and Kaden all looking directly at me. Each had their own Queen B in their arms. I guess Jaxon didn't get any STD'S from Annabeth.
I don't understand why people are suddenly looking at me. I come here in a motorcycle, wearing black skinny jeans, white flowy tank top, a leather jacket, and boots then suddenly I'm so popular.
...well I guess that would attract attention. I honestly don't know why I decided to dress like a stereotypical bad ass girl. I was just feeling in the mood to be one. It might have something to do with Chris and I watching Mission Impossible. I did say yesterday that I wanted to be bad ass too.

Hmm I guess I just answered my own questions.
I ignored everyone and walked into my first class. I spotted a free seat next to Lennon, so I that's where I sat. He looked at me with a big smile and wide eyes.
"Harley? Is that you?" He asks in astonishment
"Of course, unless there's another red head in this school that I don't know about." I say
"Woah...you look different." He says
"All I did was spice up my look and suddenly everyone notices me" I say
"Well you look bad ass" He says
"Thanks! I was going for that look." I say
We go into conversation on how everything has been. Technically, he talked and I listened. I noticed how most of his topics didn't include Emma anymore. During our first meeting, all he ever talked about was his best friend. Now all he talks about is how he joined the basketball team.
.

Lunch finally rolled around. I was still the topic of the school. Many people were trying to figure out who I was. Some have already figured it out since I talked with them before. It was only a matter of time till the rumors spread.
I was headed to my normal spot when I heard sobbing. Walking over to the sound as quietly as possible, I noticed the hunched figure of a girl. I sat down in front of her and placed my hand on her shoulder. The girl jumped and looked up at me. I was shocked to see that it was Emma crying.
"Emma?"
"Harley?"
Her eyes seem to flash with something before returning back to sadness.
"What's wrong?" I ask. She responded with another sob. I put my stuff down and sat next to her. I hugged her tightly and let her cry on me.
We wasted the whole lunch time just sitting there. She cried and I comforted her as best as I could. Once she calmed down, I took her to the clinic.
"Hi Mrs. Smith! Can my friend rest here for the rest of the day? She's really weak and needs rest. She also hasn't eaten yet" I tell the nurse

"Of course dear!! Lay down, sweetie." She ushers Emma to lie down. I walk over to her side
"I'll pick you up after school. Get some rest and eat some food. I'll get Lennon too." I say
"No!" She yells. Her voice was so hoarse from crying.
"Ok! Ok! No telling Lennon" I raise my hands in defense
"You wanna go to my place after school?" I ask
"If it won't be a bother..." She says
"It won't."
The bell rings signalling that I'm late. The nurse hands me an excuse slip.
"That's my cue to leave. I'll see you later, '
Okay?"
She nods in response and smiles thankfully at me. With that, I head to class.
.

When I got back to the clinic to pick up Emma, she was awake and drawing on her sketchbook. I poked her cheek to get her attention.
"I said to rest" I say
"I did!! I woke up an hour ago and got bored." She smiles lightly at me
"Okayyy. Let's go?" I ask
"Yes please. I need fresh non-clinic air." She gets out of bed and grabs her things. We walk side by side towards the exit. Unfortunately we were stopped by the Queens and the Kings. I noticed Emma tense next to me.
"Hi! We're so glad to bump into you. You're a newbie right?" Annabeth says with a fake sweet smile. The girls all smiled at me as they clung onto their respective guy. Annabeth a.k.a. Queen Fake clung to Kaden. Kim a.k.a. Queen Slut clung to Reece. Hannah a.k.a. Queen Bitch clung to Jaxon. I did my best not to look at those two.
"Uhm-" before I could respond Hannah cuts me off
"Listen newbie, I'm gonna give you a peice of advice. Don't hang out with her. She's a loser." She looks directly at Emma with a face of disgust. Emma cowers behind me.
"Yeah. You should hang out with us! You'd be super popular" Kim says
"Yes!! And-" I cover Annabeth's mouth before she could speak anymore. I removed my hand and wiped it on Kaden's shirt. I took out some rubbing alcohol and sprayed it on my hands.
"1. I'm not a newbie, that's Emma. The so called "loser"; 2. I will never hang out with you three. You're all Fake Slutty Bitches; 3. She is NOT a loser, you are; 4. My name is Harley Deyes, not "newbie"; and 5. Move. I wanna get home" I say while rubbing my hands to get rid of the germs. They're eyes are wide in shock. The boys have their lips pursed to stop themselves from laughing. Kaden was even smiling.
"Oh my god you've never been insulted before? That must mean that you're such a waste of time that no one bothered to tell you about the long list that make you lot terrible human beings. I bet it's because they know you wouldn't understand that many words in the first place. Don't worry, I'll send you the list and a dictionary." I smile sweetly at them. They stood in front of me with red angry faces. I laughed and took this opportunity to run off. Emma was right behind me.
We got to my bike and broke down laughing.
"That was hilarious" She managed to say through her laughter
"I know right" I say
We laugh for a solid minute before sobering up. She takes a look at my bike and her eyes widen.
"This is yours?!" She exclaims
"Yup!" I say, popping the "p" at the end
"Damnn. I've never ridden a motorcycle before...is it scary?" She asks
"Nahhhh. Just have faith in the driver." I say. I got out my helmet and handed it to her.
"I only have one. I'll be fine without one" I say
"You sure?" She says
"Yes, I am very sure. Now let's go get home. My doggy is waiting for me" I start my bike and hop on. She gets on as well, and soon we were on our way home.
