Kayleigh POV
I felt Harry plow into me, knocking me into Zayn’s back. I was in a Zarry sandwich. Louis jumped off of Harry, allowing me to breathe again.
“Oops, sorry Kayleigh haha” Harry smiled
“Hahaha its fine.” I couldn’t help but laugh at Louis. “Oh my Lord” was all I could say as I saw Seth Broden walking down the hall towards us.
“Ow owwww” Cara whispered into my ear as she followed my gaze.
“Shut up Cara!” I whispered forcefully at her. I have had the world’s biggest, most embarrassing crush on Seth for forever now. Only Cara and Liam knew about it because there was absolutely no way I was going to tell someone like Louis or Lucy about it. They could keep secret like I could play sports. (Let’s just say not very well. Something about balance was just not for me). I expected him to just walk on by like he usually does, giving me the most gorgeous smile and a tiny head nod, but he started to slow down when he got closer.
“Hey Zayn!” he said. Zayn and Seth ran in the same crowd of friends, there was no surprise that they knew each other.
“Dammit” I thought to myself. He’s just here to see Zayn. Zayn gave him a “Hey Seth” and a wave. Seth was standing right in front of me now, but looking at Zayn. He put his arm on the locker I was leaning against, trapping me there. I could smell his cologne. He smelled so goo-
“Hey Kayleigh” Seth said interrupting my thoughts
“Um hey-uh-hi Seth” I said nervously.
Cara looked at me from the corner of her eye and winked.
“So,” He said. “You know how prom is coming up this weekend?” he asked
“Oh my fucking God” I thought to, myself. (I swear a LOT in my head. Not so much out loud, though) this is NOT happening.
“Yeah, should be cool!” I said
“Yeah it would be way fun if I had a date!” he replied. Was that the invite? What do I say?!
“Oh um-“was all I could manage before he jumped in with-
“So how about it? Wanna go with me?” he said smiling and looking straight into my eyes
“Oh, yes. Um, of course. That’ll be super fun!” “Super fun?” I repeated myself in my head. What an idiot.
“Sweet. So I already bought my tie, so is purple okay for colors and stuff?” he asked. Colors? He’s so adorable.
“Yeah that’s actually perfect. Purple’s my favorite color” I smiled, trying to be flirty and probably failing miserably.
“K awesome, well I’ll call you later tonight about planning and stuff, cool?”
“Cool” I replied. He walked down the hall giving Zayn a ‘goodbye’ fist bump on the fist that was around Sadie’s shoulder.
I looked up and everyone was staring at me, giving me winks and smiling. I felt super awkward. I met eyes with Harry and then I remembered. “OH shiiiiit” I thought to myself. I had been so excited that Seth was even talking to me that I forgot mine and Harry’s pact to stick together for prom, since neither of us had girlfriends or boyfriends or anyone available to ask.
“I’m going to prom with Seth” I said with a half-smile/ half worried look on my face. Everyone cheered and made a way bigger deal than necessary, just to embarrass me. I turned bright red as the bell signaling us to get to class rang.
“Hey Harry! Wait!” I called after him, catching up with him and Louis.
“What up with the ditching, bro!?” he asked me with a funny look on his face
“Harry, I’m so so sorry! I just wasn’t thinking! I’ll tell Seth after school that I can’t go!” I said feeling genuinely upset that I just ditched Harry like that.
“No don’t. I know you really like him.” How did he…whatever “I’ll find someone, its ok!” I knew Harry would have absolutely no problem finding a date. He was a babe; but I still felt horrible.
Just then, Cara came out of nowhere and smacked me on the bum
“Hey you! Congrats on the date! At least one of us will get some that night” she winked at me. Then it hit me.
“Hey I have an idea!” Louis seemed to know where I was going with this because of the mischievous look on his face.
“Why don’t you two go together!?”Louis said with much enthusiasm pointing to Harry and Cara. I knew Harry liked Cara and since Alex was gone now, I thought what a perfect way to match-make!
“AH! Good idea babe!” Cara said to me, punching me lightly on the arm. “Watta ya say , Harold?” She gave him a huge smile.
“Sounds perfect” He said trying to contain his huge smile, and letting his adorable dimples show. We all walked to class together and right before we entered in, Harry tapped my arm and whispered
“I owe you” and gave me a cheeky smile. I smiled back and got ready to sit through an hour and a half of History.
