October 16th. One month later.

Harry and I fell into a rhythm of sneaking around my parents, people at school and even Zayn and Drew. Safe to say my mom is very proud of her little darling spending so much time at church and the library. Every Saturday Harry picks me up from bible study and we hang out all afternoon. Sometimes at the diner, sometimes at his house if his family is away, sometimes we just drive around for hours playing music. During school we passed cryptic notes back and forth to each other to plan on what we're doing next.

Then every Friday night I go to their gigs to watch them perform, in which every time I am more surprised at how well they perform. Their voices sound unreal, the instruments sounding the exact same every time, no mistakes.

I have also noticed that the venues and the crowds have been getting bigger recently.

Since we're seniors we're allowed to leave campus during lunch, Harry and I using it to our advantage to turn it into a way of hanging out without prying eyes.

That brings me to where we are now, sitting in the backseat of Harry's car in a vacant parking lot for a random department store. I'm straddling his lap as he kisses me. My hands hold onto his neck for stability while he grips my waist, pressing my hips to his lap. We've been here for around 20 minutes meaning we have to leave any second now. After this I have a class with Tate that I'm just so looking forward to. Tate has left me alone ever since his incident with Harry and Timmy. Other than a few snide comments from Emily here and there but it's been mostly radio silence from the four of them.

The irritating sound of the alarm I set goes off, signalling we should drive back now. I pull back from the kiss knowing that if we ignore the alarm we won't be able to stop. When I try to roll my body off of him he keeps his hands on my hips planting me. "Harry we have to go," I whine before I'm interrupted by his lips on mine again. I laugh into the kiss before pulling back once again "I can't be late, I have a test next." I look down at him, fiddling with the curls at the nape of his neck.

"Fine" He throws his head back, "Just one more" He reasons looking up at me before kissing me once more before loosening his grip on my waist allowing me to climb off him. We both hop into the front seats before driving back to school.

"Oh I almost forgot, the CD of the week is.." He drums his fingers against the steering wheel in anticipation, "In the door pocket"

That's another thing he's been doing. Every week he lends me a new CD to listen to so I become 'educated' on pop culture, mainly so that when he talks about it I can actually understand rather than just nodding my head and ignoring everything he's saying and instead just listening to his pretty voice. Digging my hand in the compartment on the door I find a blue CD case. I read the front. Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt, Hmm, never heard of them.

"Who's No Doubt?" I ask, peeling my eyes away from the cd in my hands and up to him with a puzzled look.

"No Doubt is a band from the 90s. The lead singer is Gwen Stefani. I feel like you'd like her and her style quite a lot." He explains it to me, I nod my head along with his words before putting the CD in the front pocket of my backpack.

Harry pulls into the school parking lot and parks the car. Before we can enter school Harry stops me. "What are we gonna tell Drew and Zayn?" He asks, "I don't think I can lie to them for very long"

"Um," I think for a moment. "We can tell them I needed to renew a book in the library and you drove me." I come up with a lie on the spot, "And don't think of it as lying, more bending the truth" I smile up at him, smoothing my hands along the collar of his jacket.
