Chapter 18

beepbeep, beepbeep, beepbeep, beepbeep
Harper groaned as she stretched her arms. She turned off her alarm clock and laid back to bed, hugging her pillow. Five minutes went by before she heard her phone. She cleared her eyes and looked at her notifications.
Dylan: babe!!
Dylan: good morning
Dylan: let's go to school together, i'll pick you up
Dylan: ily ^^
She then hurriedly got up. She ran to her bathroom and took a warm bath.
Within 20 minutes, she finally got out of the bathroom and wore her uniform. She put powder on her face and fixed her hair.
Harper ran down the dining room.  "Good morning, mom and brother!" She smiled as she sat down in front of the table. She started getting herself some food.
"Good morning, daughter." The mother smiled.
Hunter looked at her. "What makes you so happy early in the morning?"
Harper and her mother looked at each other and both giggled.
"Excuse me females, is there something I should know?"
The younger one shrugged.
"Uh mom. He'll come and pick me up later." She winked.
"Oooh. That's good, you'll go to school together?"
Harper gladly nodded. "Ahuh."
Hunter looked at his mother and sister. "I wonder how dad will react to this kind of weirdness of you two." He proceeded on eating.
"It's okay, Hunt. We will just have to wait, he'll go home soon, remember?" Mrs. Gray reminded.
Harper then giggled.
"Seriously, what is it? I can't be clueless."
She laughed. "Fine! Just promise me that you won't get mad at me, not even to mom, especially to him."
"Who's him?"
"Geez, can you wait?" She laughed again.
"Hurry up, Harp." Hunter reached for his glass of water and started drinking it.
Now. "I have a boyfriend."
Hunter spat out the water he was drinking.
"Geez."
"Excuse me?!"
Harper shrugged. She leaned closer to her brother. "I.. have.. a .. boyf-."
"WHO?! I'M GONNA-"
Ding Dong
Ding Dong
They heard the doorbell go. Hunter hurriedly stood up and made his way to the door. He grabbed an umbrella. He opened the door.
"SHIT SHIT HUNTER!"
Hunter stopped. "Oh. Good morning, Dy. Come in."
"You almost hit me, my god." Dylan walked inside.
"My bad."
"Good morning, Mrs. Gray!" He greeted.
Harper then finished her food. She made her way to the living room. "Hey!"
"Good morning!" He smiled at her.
"You're early." She looked at him.
Dylan shrugged. "Maybe I'm excited to see you."
Hunter's eyes widened. "Excuse me!" He ran towards them and went in between them. "What's this?"
Their mother laughed. "Hunter, he's Harper's boyfriend."
"What?!"
———
Harper pouted while walking. She looked at Dylan who's three meters away from her.
Hunter snapped her a look.
"The fuck."
Finally, they arrived at their school. Harper and Dylan smiled. Hunter looked at the both of them and did an 'I'm watching you' gesture as he walked away from them.
"Tch." The girl laughed a bit before looking at her boyfriend. He was smiling. "What?"
"I'm you boyfriend."
"I know." She raised both of her eye brows. "I'll go to my classroom now."
"I'll bring you ther-."
"No. Go to your room, I can go by myself. I'll see you at lunch." She smiled as she walked away from him.
Dylan released a sigh.
Harper made her way to her classroom. She walked in and saw Minzy sitting on her chair.
"My seat, sis."
Her best friend stood up and sat at the other chair. She giggled. "Hey, hey. How's the first morning you two are in a relationship, huh?"
Harper shook her head. "Kinda bad? My brother was in between us the whole time!"
"Aw, poor Harp." Minzy played with her hair.
"Ah! Where's Haruto?" She stood up and attempted to walk to the back of the room where Haruto is seated. But she bumped into someone's chest. Again.
"Ah! Ow, that hurt!" She over reacted.
"Ah, sorry." Haruto apologized. "You okay?" He leaned to the side to check Harper's face.
"Ha! Kidding." She laughed.
"Tch." Haruto straightened hisself. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Um. Hehe." Harper pulled him to the very back of the room. Minzy and Jace followed. "I wasn't able to tell you this yesterday because I still can't believe it but here's what it is." She started telling them what happened in the rooftop. It's still early so just a few people of their class is inside the room but no one can hear her since they're at the very back.
Haruto nodded. "So you have a boyfriend now?"
Harper nodded. "That was cute, right?" She grinned.
"Woah, congrats, Harp." Jace clapped.
"Aye, I helped!" Minzy reminded.
"Shut up."
Haruto looked at Harper and laughed a little bit. "Can't believe someone would really like to be in a relationship with this.." he slid his palm under Harper's bangs and puts it up. "ugly human."
"Hey!" She slapped Haruto's hand. She fixed her bangs and rolled her eyes.
"Ow?"
Minzy laughed. "Look how lucky, you are. You had a crush on him for a long time."
Harper crossed her arms. "I know, right."
———
"Ms. Gray, can you please read the next paragraph?" The teacher looked at Harper.
She started reading the paragraph the teacher told her to. She then was cut off by the teacher. "Hold on."
Mr. Song walked slowly and made his way to the back of the class. He cleared his throat. "Haruto, will you please continue what Harper was reading a while ago?"
He didn't move. His head is still down, sleeping.
The teacher then used his book to slam it to the lockers behind him. Everybody flinched. Haruto then lifted his head and looked around. He was surprised the teacher was already in front of him. "Ah, I'm sorry, sir." He bowed.
Mr. Song leaned a bit. "Oh no, I can't let this pass. Remember how you were late yesterday?" He reminded. "I already let that pass, so you're going to the detention after class, mister."
Haruto gulped, still half awake. The teacher walked back in front of the class. Harper looked back at him.
The school bell rang. "Unfortunately it's already your lunch time so we'll continue this lesson the next time we meet, eat well."
The teacher walked out of the classroom. The students became a mess.
Harper looked at the door. Dylan's already peeking. She ran out with Minji.
Jace then walked towards his friend. "RIP, Nakayama."
Haruto just groaned. "As much as I know, you don't sleep in class anymore. It's been a while, huh?"
"That was boring, though."
Jace furrowed his eye brows. "You sure? Or you really weren't paying attention since this morning?"
Haruto looked outside.
Jace smirked. "Tell me if you're getting jealous, Haruto."
Haruto looked at him and furrowed his eye brows.
