Why do I hate Harry Styles?

10: He didn't show up...

Bella's pov

Yesterday night Harold proposed that we should meet.
Today college went real quick I tried hard to keep my mind off that proposal.
Also I finally came to know that Drake Weasley dropped out of our college.
Why and now which college is he in or what is he planning to do?
I didn't know any of it neither I cared.

After reconsidering it nearly a million times and taking advice from Susan and indirectly from granny. I finally decided that we should meet. I mean whatever it is the place couldn't be more private than changing rooms and more creepy than garage.

However, I was still not sure about it I have never even talked to a boy before unless necessary and now I was ready to meet him in a restaurant and not only that, I was even ready to lie to my parents for meeting him.

I should not be feeling this way but it feels so right to do so.
It was very unlike me to feel this way, which was quite concerning.

At last I decided not to think much and give it a go. So I texted him.

Friday evening 5pm?

He replied almost instantly.

Friday it is then. I'll text you the location.

Will be waiting. _________________________________________

Friday

As planned I took a half day in college and was home by 3:00pm .

"So you are going to meet him. When did you even decide this?" Asked Susan she was evidently pissed of

"Umm-Yesterday ." I almost whispered

"Whose idea was this?"

"His. Ofcoarse!" I said way to quickly

"When did he ask you?"

"Uh-Wednesday night."

"So he proposed this on Wednesday, you decided it on Thursday and you're telling me NOW? When you need my help to choose you a dress!?" She ranted

"Oh Mi. I didn't expect this from you. " She added while giving a dramatic gasp in the end.

"I know Susan I'm sorry. "

"Urgh! You know it sometimes gets on my nerves."

"What?"

"This habit of yours of bluntly accepting your mistakes."

"Should I not accept?"

"Nah. Oh you should but not so easily as its not a big deal!"

"I know. I know its a very big deal that I kept this thing from you I'm really sorry Susan. "

"Okay I forgive you."

I let out a dramatic sigh.

"But you're going with him alone!?"

"I told you this like ten times Susan."

"I'm very well aware of it but its just very unlike you."

"Susan I haven't talked to any boy in my life except my college mates , teachers and your boyfriends ofcoarse."

"Thats the thing...."

"No listen to me . Isn't this what you always asked me to do ,come out of my shell and "socialize" especially with boys?"

"Yes but you only met him like a week ago."

"Thats the thing na. Its only been a week and it seems like we are friends for ages. And Susan you know it doesn't matter to me, how long I've known him what matters is I trust him atleast that much that I can go to a restaurant with him." I said
