Our Summer of Direction

Earmuffs

“What are you supposed to be?” A girl, dressed in 90% spandex, asks as I am actually alone. Harry had gone to get us beer and Annie and Ed were grinding on the dance floor.

“Oh, I am Ginny from Harry Potter.” I explain resisting the urge to get her a jacket.

“Harry Potter? That fairy thing? Everyone knows Twilight is all the rage. That is why I am dressed as a vampire.” She says gesturing to her skimpy outfit.

“First of all, Harry Potter is about Wizards. Second of all-.” Harry cuts me off by placing his hand over my mouth and wrapping his arms around my waist.

“Easy there, sweetheart.” He teases handing me a beer. The girl suddenly perks up and pushes her breasts up.

“Hello Harry.” She purrs pushing them up further.

“I am not sure if you know but those are boobs not earmuffs.” I say pulling a laughing Harry away.

“That was so mean!” He reprimands with another chuckle.

“Well! If she is going to flaunt it so blatantly she should expect it!” I say defensively. I lean back against the pole holding up the roof and Harry leans forward more. I smirk a little before all I am focused on is kissing Harry back.

Emilea’s POV

After watching Katie nearly freak on a twilight fan I find Niall and drag him to the dance floor.

“I was enjoying a nice pint of beer.” He protests as I pull him and dance closely.

“And yet I am enjoying you dancing against me.” He adds wrapping his arms around me. I smack him gently and sway to the music until Annie and Ed bump into us and wink.

“Gosh watch it.” I joke pushing Annie gently.

“Oh no you didn’t!” She teases back. Niall leads me over to the bar so he can get another beer and get me a coke.

“You’re unfriendly.” I say accepting the coke.

“Your birthday is on Thursday! You can drink then!” Niall promises kissing my cheek.

“Oh so you are going to let me skip school on Friday so that I can get totally hammered on Thursday night?” I challenge narrowing my eyes.

“Is that what you want?” He asks moving some hair out of my face.

“Yes. Katie and I are skipping Thursday actually. So hey early end of the week!” I say excitedly.

“You shouldn’t skip two days in a row!” Niall exclaims trying to scratch his face around his batman mask. I sigh and help him take it off.

“Well tough shit because I am. Katie and I decided that when we were like 12.” I explain putting the batman mask back on him.

“Fine, what are you doing that day?” He asks swigging his beer.

“Katie is taking me to a tattoo parlor!” I say with an eye crinkling smile.

“Nice! I know how excited you are about that.” He says returning my smile. I smile and Niall scoots a little closer.

“Do you wanna get out of here?” He asks looking up at me.

“You do know you live here right?” I ask after a moment.

“I’m serious! Let’s just go! We can have our own little weekend. What do you say?”

“Next weekend.” I see his face fall and I feel bad.

“Promise?” He asks.

“Promise.”
