Runway To Love

🤫Keeping a secret🤫

It was time for cadets. I was excited and nervous at the same time. What if everyone worked it out? What would they think? I was about to go through the door when I heard Harry. "Shout wait for me, Ann!" I stood and waited. When he came to me, he grabbed both of my hands and stood in front of me. Then he said I don't know if this is too soon but can I have your number I'm going to a camp and I would like to send you pictures and talk to you before I go to sleep. I didn't know what to say. I had to compose myself, and I said my number is ********. He said "Thank you!" and questioned "Was it ok that I asked?". I replied, "Of course". Then let go of his hands and went inside. He waited a while before he came in. When I went inside, I saw tons of people from different squadrons. I was petrified. Luckily, Harry came in before I had a panic attack. He came up to me and asked if I was ok. I said "No". He said if I still feel nervous after first parade I should talk to him. He looked down at his phone. Then my phone went off with a text that said, Hiii Miller!. I tried to hide my smile.

It was time for parade. The other cadets joined our flight. I was surrounded by them. Harry kept looking at me and smiling to try and make me feel better. It worked. He did the registrar. When it got to my name he paused and smiled. Cadets kept murmuring this made me feel nervous. When he eventually said my name, I smiled and said "Yes, Corporal". Shaw looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but rather she smiled and looked away. My heart started racing because I thought she worked it out. The oc came up and started blabbing on about where we would be and what we were doing. After parade was over, Shaw came up to me and asked, "What was that about?". I said, "What was what about? She replied, "You know what? Did you tell him?" I said "No I wimped out." and she looked disappointed. Harry looked at me and smiled. Then Shaw went.

We all went to where we were supposed to be. I was in classroom one and learnt about flight operations. Harry came in and spoke to us for a bit. He spoke about his flying experiences. He kept looking at me, and I kept turning red. I tried to hide it. After he finished, corporal sat next to me. We were given books to write in. Harry wrote 'Hi!' in my book, I smiled and put 'Hi!' back. Every time sir walked past, I had to cover it. We sneakily wrote little notes to each other. I wrote things like, 'Please don't go to the camp' and 'Don't leave me.' He wrote things like,'I have to go', and 'I don't want to leave.' The rest of the lesson was so boring, but thankfully, it went by fast.

The cadets from the other squadrons were in the main hall with the other staff. I'm not sure why.

During break, a girl from a different Squadron kept looking at Harry. I texted him to ask if he knew her. He put 'No'. He walked up and spoke to me for the rest of break. Whenever someone walked past, we switched conversation. The girl kept looking at us, but then she walked up to us. I felt so uncomfortable. I think Harry noticed. She asked about our Squadron and asked questions like 'How many cadets does our squadron have?' and 'What rank are we?' She looked disgusted when I told her I was a cadet. She was a corporal. I hated the way she looked at him. I made an excuse to go outside. Harry came to (we're not allowed outside unsupervised). We were alone outside. It was nice. We stood face to face and spoke about the camp. I told him" I didn't want you to go". He told me "I don't want to go either, but my mum is making me". I jokingly asked "When will I meet her?". He sincerely said "I'll ask if you can come to my house". I didn't know what to say. He lent in to kiss me. His lips are so soft. I didn't want the moment to end. I didn't know this at the time but Shaw came out and saw us kissing.

Break was over soon after. We went inside and went back to where we were. I couldn't stop thinking about the feeling of his lips against mine. Sir asked "Are you okay? You're a bit red" I replied " I'm just a bit hot, sir". When he continued, I looked at Harry he looked like he wanted to laugh but was too scared to. I would have laughed if I was him. Shaw kept looking at us and whispering to her boyfriend. Harry started to gradually move his hand towards my thigh. I saw his hisitation but I wanted him to do it himself. When he did it it was comforting. I loved it. I moved his hand up so it was under my skirt. He was slowly turning red so I moved it down a little so he didn't feel uncomfortable but me moved it up further than before. The lesson flew by and before I knew it, it was over.

It was time for final parade. It was the usual but we were getting our uniform next time. My dad texted me and I left after I said bye to everyone. All I can do is think about her. The car ride was boring. Then I went to sleep.
