The first day of school. This was never my favorite part of moving. Meg was so lucky; this was her last year of high school before she got to pack her bags for university. I would be stuck here for another two and a half years and just my luck, so was Harry Styles.

"Come on Bethy, stop stalling! School won't be that bad, I promise" Meg called from behind my bedroom door.

"I'll be out in a minute" I called back.

For today I chose my blue blouse, a black skirt and my lucky ballet flats. Preppy, but at least it was normal. My ginger hair was tied into a ponytail, so hopefully nobody would be tempted to tease me as much about it.

I made my way downstairs with Meg; as usual she wore something slightly skimpy, but sweet. Mum and dad were eating breakfast at the mahogany table, having a little chat about yours truly.

"The boy seems a little dodgy to me" dad said "I don't trust him just yet"

"He seems like a sweet boy" mum said "Anne said so herself"

"Yes but the way he kept staring at Beth, and no one else. It concerns me you know, Beth is only fifteen"

"She's almost sixteen Brian, she should be at the age where she'll want to...interact with boys"

"I'm just not sure about that Harry kid" dad said "I don't trust his character"

Meg and I made our way to the dining table just after the conversation was finished, helping ourselves to mums fruity pancakes.

"So what do you girls plan to do at school today?" mum asks us both.

"I want to try out for dance" Meg began "Some hip hop, or cheer leading, do you think they have cheer leading in Holmes Chapel?"

"Maybe" Mum said "What about you Beth? What do you plan to do?"Save

"Blend in" I muttered.

"Blending In is too boring" dad said in his slight Scottish accent "You need to get yourself out there, be noticed"

"But I don't want to be noticed" I said "I just want to make it out alive"

"You can't be afraid of high school forever" mum said "You have to take advantage of what it will offer you"

"Let's get going" Meg cut in "We'll have to get there early to sort out our schedules"

We excused ourselves from the table and took our rucksacks from the living room. As I climbed into the passenger seat of Meg's car she started the engine; the best part about Meg's car was that it ran so smoothly, the engine barely made a sound.

As we drove through the suburban streets my mind wandered to our next door neighbour. Harry would go to the same school as me, in my year as well. What would Harry do to me if he had the chance? I really hoped that I wouldn't have to find out.

"Look at him" Meg sneered, her eyes fixed on yours truly through the car mirror "He may be good-looking but that doesn't make up for his attitude"

He wore a pair of black jeans and a plain, white shirt. I will admit that he is perfect, but that doesn't mean I like him. He uses girls for his own personal enjoyment, then throws them away so he can move on to whoever he wishes. I wasn't going to be another one of his victims, he can't make me.

"I wonder if any girl has turned him down?" I said to Meg.

"Probably only the smart ones, that blond girl he was with looked as fake as the Olsen twins" she said.

I felt sorry for any girl he was with. I felt sorry for the way he broke each and every one of their hearts; tearing and breaking them until their was no feeling for Harry Styles left. From the first time he had touched me I knew he was a heart-breaker. His touch, his voice, and the satisfaction in his eyes at seeing me squirm. He wants my heart, well he can't have it.

School had taken me by surprise. English was very interesting; we had a teacher called Miss Lila, she was young, fun and quirky. I sat beside a girl called Roxy; she wore all dark colours and had her hair died violet purple. She was actually nicer than she looks; a bit misunderstood though, like me. She promised me a seat with her at lunch time, since it's my first day and all. The biggest relief of all was the fact that Harry had not shown up to any of my classes, so he had no chance to harass me. The only other hope I had was that I wouldn't see him at lunch. I would have Roxy with me, and Meg, so he had no chance.

After history and literature it was finally lunchtime. I gathered my food parcel from my new locker and made my way to the lunch hall. Roxy was waiting for me at her table with her group of friends, Roxy pointed to me and began to wave.

"Beth, over here!" she called "Everyone, this is Beth, she's new here"

Everyone welcomed me with complimenting smiles. I sat between Roxy and this other girl, this one had crow-black, spiked hair and wore the same preppy clothes as me.

"I'm Dawn" she said "And this is Andy" she pointed to the cute, brown-haired guy on her side "Faye" Faye was the light blond-haired girl beside Andy "And Mike" Mike was the Indian guy on Roxy's other side. Altogether, Roxy's group of friends was a little bit of everything. No-nonsense Dawn, good-looking Andy, fragile, blond Faye, and mixed-race Mike. The one thing they had in common was that they all had kind intentions, and were making me feel very welcome.

"Where did you move from?" Mike asked me.

"London" I said "The school there was crowded"

"I've always wanted to go to London" Faye said "It just seems so big!"

"London does have it's up-sides" I said "There's the London eye, and this cute pier by one of the beaches"

"We all want to go over there at the end of term" Andy said "It will be summer by then, just the perfect weather for a holiday"

"You'll want to get there early" I said "London is a tourist attraction, especially in the summer. Tour groups crowd the place like beehive"

"Are any of the tourists good-looking?" Roxy asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"especially the Spanish boys" I said "My sister hooked up with one once, he almost decided to stay in London to be with her, but his mum dragged him back to Spain before he could say London eye"

"It's a perfect novel romance!" Faye gushed, her hand placed on her heart "Imagine meeting a nice foreign boy, it's a picture-perfect love story!"

"You're so soppy Faye" Dawn teased "I want to visit the London museums, get in touch with it's heritage"

"If Faye is soppy, then Dawn is a geek" Andy said "London means partying!"

"London agogo baby!!" Andy and Mike screamed in sync.

"Sit down you tossers!" Roxy protested "You're making dicks of yourselves"

"I'll be back in a minute" I said "I promised I'd meet my sister by my locker, she wanted to make sure I was okay"

"Okay? From what?"

"Harry Styles" I muttered, then all eyes were on me.

"You need to keep away from him Beth" Roxy warned "He's bad news"

"I know, I've witnessed it" I said "While me and my sister were taking a look around I saw him tongue-tied with some blond girl"

"Ew! That's Taylor, she's the biggest skank in school" Dawn said "She transferred from an American school and all the cool guys like her because she's foreign and exotic. We all know just how fake she is though, but that doesn't out-weigh how much of a bitch she is"

"What does she have to do with Harry though?"

"They're on and off mostly" Roxy said "There is obviously no romantic attraction; all they pretty much do is hook up for the occasional shag, sometimes a disgusting make-out session to make all the other girls jealous"

"Lucky enough for me, he's my neighbour" I said "His mum is nice enough though"

"Nobody has ever seen his mum" Mike said "He's never mentioned her before"

"I'll be back in ten" I said, standing up, then exiting the lunch hall.

I stood by my locker, waiting for Meg, when he makes his appearance. Everybody immediately moves out of his way, taking in the sight of this beautiful boy. He had a nicely toned body; lean, tall and perfectly muscled. I wonder how Taylor would have felt in his arms, kissing his plump, strawberry-coloured lips.

He slowly makes his way towards me, his lips tugged into his trade-mark smirk. He steps closer and closer until my back is pressed against my locker, he takes advantage of the situation and closes the space between our bodies. I felt as if I were paralyzed; if I even tried to move he would just pull me back and tighten his grip on me. I could feel the contours of his body moulding into mine; his hands were placed at either sides of my head, my eyes squeezed shut.

"We meet again Bethany" he whispered "You're looking hot today, and I'm not the only one who has noticed"

"W-what do you mean?" I stammered.

"You don't think I haven't noticed Bethany?" He chuckled "That Andy bloke has his eye on you, fucking idiot thinks he has a chance of asking you out! Well he's not going to, and you won't let him"

"What makes you think I'd listen to you?" I stated, suddenly feeling very confident.

"Oh silly Bethany, you have no idea..." he cooed.

A large sea of teenagers began to crowd around us, Meg was amongst them somewhere.

"I want everyone to see this" he said, addressing the crowd before turning back to me.

Before I knew it he slammed his body back into mine, holding my head still against the locker. His mouth met the bare skin of my shoulder, leaving gentle kisses towards the crook of my neck.

"Get away from me!" I shrieked, but he wouldn't listen. Instead his mouth moved up to the middle of my neck, his lips formed a circle before he began to suck. I could feel the pain rising to my skin as he sucked even harder, his teeth grazing over the spot. I tried to struggled but it was no use; he was much stronger than I was, and he knew it.

When he was finally finished his lips met my ear, brushing gently against my lobe.

"Do you know what you are now Bethany?" he hissed "You're mine now"

"You see this everyone?" he pushed me towards the crowd by my shoulders "She's mine; so don't even think of getting friendly with her because she belongs to me, understand?!"

The crowd began to shrink; people slowly disappeared after Harry's warning. I caught a single glimpse of my neck in the mirror; big blotches of blue, purple and yellow were spread across my neck in the form of a hickey. There was no way that my parents couldn't notice this; it was too obvious for even makeup to hide.

"Bethy?" Meg finally found me through the crowd "Are you okay?"

I was shaking, I couldn't help it. Harry had claimed me now; I belong to him, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Harry

She's mine. There is nothing anyone else can do to keep me from her, I own her. her sister can't do anything, she can't stop me. Nobody can have her now; everyone saw me mark her, and that mark will last a good couple of days. She did struggle more than any of the others but I like the struggling, it encourages me. I want her; I want her body, her mind and her soul. And now I have her. This is going to feel so good...

 Oooooh so what do yall think? (Said in a bad Texan accent) So I know Beth seems a little fragile but that's just her character, and she did try to deny him. So this is chapter four, I hope you like it! Please give a few reads if anyone wants chapter five, and trust me, you'll want it. This story is rated PG13 for a reason so if I get complaints for what you may read next time, don't say I didn't warn you. That's all folks! Julz xox
