Chapter 4

Third Person's POV.

As Harlow walks by through the seemingly silent road, she decided to go on a convenience store where she can give a feet rest and let the time pass by, it's still five o'clock in the morning, it's too early for her, even if she stays at their place—The forgotten room, she'll just get bored there and to add there's no air-conditioning system inside, it's better to stay at convenience where it's quiet and cool.

She bought a corndog—two conrdogs and a coffee, she also put her favourite thing on, the earphones and now listening to Why don't we's song named 'Hooked' humming while chewing her breakfast.

Harlow's phone vibrated and when she checked it, it was her mom. 'What's with the early call?' Harlow wondered.

"Hello? mom, good morning." Harlow greeted to the phone.

[How's my little Lowie?] Her mom then asked.

Harlow's mother was fully aware of what happened to her, and even though it's hard to let her daughter be out of her touch, she have too, staying at the City where she is makes Harlow feel so unsafe, her mother wanted to come but the work hinders it, and Harlow's mother have to deal with it.

"I'm feeling good mom, how about you?" Harlow responded to her mom's question.

[I'm now feeling better, but I miss you of course. when will you be visiting mommy?] Harlow's mom wondered.

"Well see, maybe this summer of all course. mom, I miss you too, yet, I can't just go there anytime I want, the costs, remember?" She told her mother.

It occupied her for almost thirty minutes of calls, Harlow even forgot she was eating because of her mom and now, the one and a half corndogs were cold but she still ate it, it's a waste of money if she'll just throw it away right?

When she decided to get out of the store, but then, she's too close to the school gate, Harlow walked slowly and check if the three cockroaches, waiting and greet her good morning.

She sighed as a relief when she see no one.

"Good morning Harlow!"

"Oh what the hell?!" Harlow almost jump when instead of being Infront of the gate, The four cockroaches are at her back.

"Who's you're peeking? hmm?" Owen maliciously asked Harlow.

"Ah, I'm trying to jump scare you but, you guys aren't there tsk." Harlow said as alibi.

Shaun, as always, put an arm on Harlow's shoulder and pinched her nose, He's got a little bit of interest on Harlow.

"Are you guys following me?" Harlow questioned them.

Who wouldn't question them? they're always at the place where Harlow goes.

"No, we're usually early to wait you, you see, now you came a little earlier than us, we are just on you back and thought to not make a sound, well like telepathy you know?" Sean answered.

"Woah, now I have telepath friends." sarcastically concluded.

"I love to hear that now you see us as your friends." Tristan calmly said and also pinched her nose.

Tristan, Sean, Shaun, and Owen can't really explain on how they immediately like Harlow, from the very first time Owen saw her, something just turned on and all of a sudden talk to her, when Shaun saw her, there's also something that didn't made him mad but then want to tease her. When Sean and Tristan saw her, they also wanted to approach her immediately.

There's something on Harlow that made the four like her immediately, and it's probably because our little Lowie have no plans of having a friend too.

"Harlow do you wanna come?" Shaun suddenly asked.

Harlow frown, "Come where?" she responded.

"Tomorrow, in our house." He said.

Harlow pause and look at them, "You guys are living in one house?" she claimed that made the four get confused.

'Living in a same house? how I wish.' Tristan thought.

"No, they're going to visit on our house, I want you to meet my sister." Shaun explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you four are living in a same roof." She restated.

They nod and just smiled, "We're going to drop you by now, see yah'!" Sean bid and hug Harlow, except for Owen of course, they were in the same class.

"They hug you like they're not seeing you for a year." Owen whispered when they got inside.

Harlow turned around and smile at him while her eyes narrowed like she's suspecting Owen for something.

"What?" Owen asked in confusion.

"You're just jealous." Harlow teased.

"Oh I'm not come here."he said and hugged Harlow.

everyone gasped after seeing them.

"Hell, Owen get off they're watching" Harlow told him.

A devilish smile curved on Owen's face and teased Harlow more, "What? stop looking at me and my girlfriend."

With all of Harlow's strength, she separated from the hug, "Are you out of your mind?!" she said.

"Yes, come on I'm just teasing you." He replied.

"I hope you die." Harlow remarked.

"How I wish."

Morning class have started and all Harlow felt was girls torturing glares, 'For hell's sake, I hope they'd stop doing that.' She thought to herself.

"I CAN'T believe you flirt one of them so you could sneak in to their group!"

Her jaw dropped when she heard what Train said.

"Is that how you see me?" she questioned her.

"After that event before? yes." Trainne answered honestly.

"Well do you know how I see you? an ugly duckling who I thought so good but just the same as some useless girls who spend their time watching others, no wonder why you can't comb your hair." Harlow stated.

"You're so mean!" Train cried and get out of the comfort room.

When Harlow gets out, a confused look from the cockroaches greeted her, "What?" she wondered.

"Were you responsible to that ugly girl who cried?" Sean asked.

"She told me I flirt one of you just to get in and I told her she's ugly." Harlow then summarised what happened.

"Then she just got what she deserves." Shaun responded.

"Ice-cream everyone?" Tristan suddenly offered while carrying a family sized ice-cream.

"Sweet." They said and decided to eat the ice-cream at the room they love to stay in.

"Harlow, next time, flirt with us in public." Shaun just said.

"Seriously Shaun?" Harlow called in disbelief.

"What? give them what they asked, it's fun."

"No, next time, give us the project." Sean declared.
