Harry's POV:

I could finally see her face.

She had hazel brown eyes that weren't that hard to get lost in. That's.. unusual. The moment I met her gaze, for a split second honestly, they.. they seemed.. they felt.. familair.

"Um..thanks", she said as she looked away after drying herself up and walked past me.

"Where are you going?", I asked. "I need to get to class," she said without facing me. I caught up with her and held her by an arm, "I'm supposed to still take you to the clinic."

"I can find my way there later, thank you," she said back, her voice soft and in a tone so innocent. Slipping her arm away from me and pushing out the door. The boys gathered around her, telling her the same thing I just told her. All this time she just looked down and kept her arms away from us. "But the dean said we had to take you to the clinic after washing you up," said Niall. "really, we insist," said Louis. She just shook her head and tried to move along but Liam stopped her. This girl was stubborn.

then she looks up and sighs, then I saw it in her eyes. She was nervous. "Really, it's no bother. I'll go to the clinic myself. Really, it's not a big deal. Thank you, again", she said, leaving the guys to stare back at me as she made her way between Liam and Zayn.They all gave me that certain look and I just shrugged. I stared at the girl as she walked away and noticed. She was limping. She was hiding it but not as good as she thought she could because I noticed. She winced every time she made another step.

I quickly walked after her. The next move I had in mind would probably surprise her but I just couldn't let her walk like that to whatever class she's off to and then end up getting caught by the dean. I was probably gonna be be-headed for not taking her to the school clinic.

I caught up with her and, with one swift movement and no hesitation, I swept her off her feet and carried her in my arms. Her stomach to my shoulder and her feet up in the air. This way she won't be able to squirm or move around too much. She was caught by surprise alright.

I heard the boys snicker behind us and follow. I think I remember where the dean said the clinic was.

"What are you doing?", she scowled. I forgot she could talk.  "Taking you to the clinic."

"Look, I can take myself there really", bloody hell, she was more stubborn than I was. I never knew that was possible. 

"You're limping. And it's still completely obvious that you're badly hurt. You couldn't even reach to wash the back of your head in the shower, let alone walk all the way to who knows where." I scolded a little. I had to admit, this girl was getting on my nerves. No matter how charming she may seem.

"Put me down," she insisted. "And it would really help if you kept yourself quiet," I warned. "You wouldn't want me to drop you hard on the floor by accident now would you?." She looked like she was about to say something, but she held herself back and just stared at the floor and grunted.

The boys all teased me and chuckled behind us. I just wanted to get this over with. "Harry the hero. Who knew?," teased Louis. "Awe, see mate? This school does get the good out of you," muttered Zayn. Really you two?? Ugh.

"Goodness. What happened to her?", asked the school nurse when we got to the clinic. The boys explained everything and the nurse took care of the rest.

"You take care of yourself now love, alright?" said Louis making the girl give her a faint smile along with a nod. "Thank you," she added. "Alright, you boys can get out now so I can start taking care of her," said the school nurse as she began preparing all this things, probably to check if she's injured anything permanently or something. I was just glad there weren't any needles. Zayn and Niall went out already and Louis immediately followed. "See you around," Liam told the girl before going out the door. "Sure," she replied.

That's when I realized. I didn't think she recognized us. Not a sign of any knowledge about me and the boys in her eyes. the way she stared at us. The way she just looked at her feet when we looked at her. She either really had no clue who we were or she was just faking it so we would actually notice her more. But she didn't look like the type who would do anything like that.

I was the last out the room. When I was about to slip out the door without a word, she called out. "Hey." I turned to face her. "Thank you..for everything", she said shyly. I smiled at her, "No problem, love" then walked out the door. She seemed okay. She seemed nice.

But there was something about her eyes. Like I said, they looked familiar. Like I've seen them from somewhere.. I just don't remember.

Aevri's POV:

I watched the clear view window as they all walked away. All their faces were new. I didn't recognize a single one. They probably auditioned together to get into DAMA as a group. 

"Sweet boys. To bring you all the way here and that other one carrying you like that. That was very nice of him to notice you limp. If you walked here all on your own, you would've probably had a cast by now. You're really lucky", the nurse said. I looked at her.

"Why?".

"Don't you recognize them, honey?". I shook my head.

"They're One Direction. They're that famous boy band everybody's been talking about. They say that Harry boy's the problem. That he's the one becoming all egotistic and getting all the bad reputation.  I was surprised he carried you all the way here. And to hear from his band mates that he was the one who ran to you first. He must'nt really be that bad to actually be concerned for someone."

"He probably just felt sorry for me."

"Maybe. But the way he looked over you earlier, I'd think differently dear." She gave off a cheesy smile and went back out the other room to get something.

I looked back out the window and for a moment, from a distance, I saw him look back at me.

I've never seen him before.. but those emerald eyes. I knew I wasn't just imagining all this. I knew it wasn't just all in my head. Those pair of green eyes.. Why were they so familiar?
