*Harry’s POV*
*Continuation*

Amanda went on about some nonsense, although I didn't care much to pay attention. I was more interested in Destiny for some reason. After a while, I noticed that Destiny and her friends were leaving. Immediately, my mind rushed to think of ways to get them to stay.

'Shoot! I have to do something.' I thought frantically. Amanda had caught me looking at Destiny, and noticed the whole group of them.

“Isn’t that Destiny Baker, that new girl everyone's been talking about?” Amanda questioned with a smirked.

“Yeah.” I nodded, still wondering how to keep Destiny here.

“Hey, girls, look.” Amanda said, calling to her friends, “It's Destiny Baker, the new girl.”

“Are you going to ask her?” Casey asked.

“Ask her what?” Louis questioned her.

“To join our group of course. We can’t let Destiny fall into a group like that.” Amanda grinned.

“Yeah, she’ll probably turn into that Ally girl. Gross, what is she wearing on her head?” Tia snickered. Noticing Liam's hands tightening into fists and his jaws tensing, I placed my hand on his should. Looking at him with wide eyes, telling him to calm down, Liam slowly recovered.

“Let’s go,” Amanda directed her friends, immediately they followed her. Liam motioned for the rest of us to follow as well. At least this way, the girls will stay longer.

Amanda reached had them just before they arrived at the benches.

“Hi.” Amanda said, “I guess it’s true then, what everyone’s been saying. That Destiny Baker has come to the neighbourhood. I cannot wait to find out why you're so special. These are my friends, Casey, Haylee, Jessica, and Tia. And I am Amanda. Amanda Key.”

"Yeah okay," Destiny says, raising an eyebrow. Elizabeth laughed.

“You will soon find out; some people are better than others. You don’t want to be making friends with the wrong sort.” Amanda said, glaring at Elizabeth to shut her up. “I can help you with that.” Amanda held out her hand. Destiny looked down at the extended hand and looked back up at Amanda.

“I think I can tell the sort for myself. Thank you very much.” Destiny sternly, “Anyway. Why would I want to be friends with a bunch of no good sluts.” She added looking her Amanda’s friends. The girls tried to hold their laughs and so did us, boys.

“Oh, you bitch!” Amanda sneered at Destiny.

“Aw, thank you,” Destiny says with a sly smile.

“What?” Amanda questioned.

“Bitch is a female dog. Dogs bark. There is bark on trees. Trees are in nature and Nature is beautiful. So, technically you just called me beautiful. So, thank you.” Destiny smirked. Her friends let out giggles at her comment. Amanda and her groups turned and stalked away, flipping their hair in the process. Amanda bore a glowering appearance.

As soon as the girls were out of our hearing range, us boys let our trapped laughs.

“Good one,” Mabel commented to Destiny.

“Thanks," Destiny says along with a smile, which seemed so beyond this world. Her eyes seemed to sparkle, as the corners of her eyes crinkled and the tips of your lips turn upward.

"I hate them, all of them." Ally grunted.

"Yeah my goodness. These girls are so beyond the level of cockiness that I can handle. 'You don't want to be making friends with the wrong sort.'” Destiny says, mocking Amanda. “Anywho, now you boys have to give us whatever we desire.”

“Aw, we had hoped you would have forgotten.” Liam sighed.

“Nope.” Ally says with a devious smile.

“Fine. What do you girls want?” Zayn asked.

“Umm …” Destiny thought.

“How about ice cream?” June suggested.

“Yeah, and you boys pay,” Mable says, giving a cute, fake smile.

“That's it? I'm all right with that.” Louis chuckled, thinking the girls would've thought of something more harsh for us to do.

“Let us go!” Destiny announced, grabbing her bike she began walking it the wrong way.

“This way, Destiny.” Elizabeth laughed, grabbing her bike as well, as she called Destiny towards the opposite direction.

“I knew that.” Destiny sighed. “Now … let us go!” she announced again, as she started down the sidewalk in the correct direction.

Mable, Elizabeth, and Ally led the way. Followed by Destiny and June. Then, me, and Louis. Finally, Liam, Zayn, and Niall followed.

Zayn and Liam went to the front to Mabel, Ally, and Elizabeth, along with Louis. Niall took June away from Destiny, so I casually made mine over to her side.

“Hey,” I waved.

“Hi.” Destiny shyly said.

“Sorry about Amanda.” I lightly chuckled.

“Naw, it's fine,” Destiny said. “Nice girlfriend, though. Your type of girls, huh?

“Mhmm …” I trailed off, not knowing how to reply, “Um … so, different topic?”

“How long have you been dating, Amanda?” Destiny questioned.

“Ugh, about two months …” I said.

“Oh, cool. Why?” Destiny asked.

“Gosh, I don’t know. Why do you ask?” I irritated hammered back.

'Why was she asking me these?' I thought, annoyed.

“No reason. So, how’s life?” she suggested, backing down, as she tried to hide that little bit a fear inside her.

“Good.” I sighed, trying to calm myself down. “You seem a little different today like you don't want to be near me. Why?”

“We only met yesterday, how could I be acting differently? How would you even notice?” She laughed.

"That doesn't matter. Is it about what Liam said early? Listen. Don't worry about that; he was only joking around. I promise.” I said.

“Mhmm … okay.” Destiny trailed off.

“We are here!” Mabel announced, thankfully. It was getting so hard to keep up a decent conversation with Destiny.

“Damn. This ice cream parlour is adorable! Me likey.” Destiny commented, making the rest of us laugh.

“Let’s go in then.” I smiled, a lightened up by Destiny's change in mood.

The ten of us went inside the ice cream parlour after Destiny and Elizabeth had locked up their bikes. We went in and took a seat at one of the booths.
