They Don't Know About Us

How Can I Explain this to My Friends?

After my very first kiss with Harry Styles, I didn't even know what to do. I finally went inside and ran upstairs cheering. Then I realized he could probably hear me and I flushed. Upon removing my jacket, I felt something in my pocket. A crumpled up piece of paper...With Harry's number?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I pulled out my phone and punched in the number with a text <Hey :)>. I set my phone on my dresser, got my pajamas on, and brushed my hair. I was about to brush my teeth when I heard my text ringtone go off. I bolted to my phone (almost tripping over everything on the way there). <Hey love! Hope you had fun today. I'll pick you up at 6 tomorrow for dinner. Is that alright?> I smiled at the text. <Yes! I had the best time today Harry. Thank you :) And that's fantastic. What should I wear?> I bounced into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. My phone dinged again. <I'm glad that you had fun, I did too. Just a nice dress and be your beautiful self> I don't think I ever smiled to widely as I did just then. <Okay :) Thank you Harry.> I quickly washed my face and laid in my bed, clutching my phone to my chest. I jumped when it dinged again. <No problem love. Get some sleep and I'll talk to you tomorrow>. I chuckled slightly, why was he so sweet? <Night Harry> <Night Caitlyn>. I eventually drifted off into sleep.

The Next Day

I got up like I normally did. Showered, got dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast. However, today I found my family standing on the kitchen waiting for me. My mom smiled as she sipped her coffee. "So how was your date?" I blushed and pushed past my siblings to get to the fridge. "It was nice. He was a complete gentleman," I answered and got out the milk. My middle sister, Brianna, moved in front of me as I went to get a bowl and cereal. "Did you meet Niall? Is he still single? Can I date him?" My mother pulled her back. "Brianna! Niall is too old for you. Leave your sister be!" My youngest sister, Rebecca, helped me get my breakfast. "Told ya so," she teased and nudged me gently, causing me to smile. My brother, Josh, rolled his eyes. "Big deal. She went on a date with Harry Styles," he mocked. My mother shushed him and got Josh and Rebecca ready for school. Brianna didn't eat breakfast as usual and sneered as I ate my cereal. "Why does he even like you? You're not pretty. And you're huge!" She laughed. I didn't finish my cereal. Instead, I threw it away, brushed my teeth, and went to wait for the bus with Brianna.

*******

Let me take a moment to describe my family. My mother, Josh, and I look a lot alike. Same curly brown hair, brown eyes, face shape, olive skin tone, and build, but she was bigger than I was and he was smaller and 12 years old. Brianna and Rebecca looked nothing like us. They both had wavy blonde hair, green eyes, slim athetic builds, and pale skin. Brianna was 15 and Rebecca was 10. But they were my sisters by blood and I had to love them.

At School

I walked into school, still upset over the harsh words my sister said. I didn't even realize that my best friend, Amberlee, was walking beside me. Her big brown eyes, warm with comfort, noticed my upset state. "Cookie, locker. Now," she said as she pulled me over to her locker. "Okay spill it. Where did you go yesterday and why are you upset now?" She showed me my face in the mirror in her locker. I was red and puffy. Amber, the make-up wizz, opened up her arsenal and began working on my face as I talked. "Well.... I kinda was on a date with Harry Styles...." I said. She instantly froze and so did everyone else in the hallway.
