My Bestfriend's Crush (H.S)

Twelve

"He told me he'd think of something." I tell Harry in class the next day.

"Oh shit you left it up to Niall to think of something? It's like you don't know him." He says shaking his head, "Do you want to know where he suggested we all went the other day before Liam saved us with the mini golfing idea? He wanted to go to McDonalds. He wanted to spend the day hanging out with you at McDonalds. McDonalds!" He says it with emphasis in annoyance.

"That's not so bad I mean it was just a casual hangout-"

"It was terrible. Sticky gross McDonalds, no. That's no fun at all! " He shivers at his thoughts of McDonalds making me laugh.

"We are going to a fancy restaurant." He states like he knows what he is getting us all into.

"McDonalds?" I question smirking and he gives me a glare, "Hell no. A cool place."

"Okay, and how do we leave?" When I say that I instantly regret going along with this idea again. Blair will freak out if me and Harry are supposed to be on a "date", and us both leaving at the same time? Don't see that going over well.

"Well, where am I going and where are you going separately? At different times." I restate my question hoping he gets it that we aren't leaving together.

"Uh, okay if you want to do it like that, then you have to babysit and I have to visit my nan for the weekend."

"Wow, quick thinking. Alright that sounds believable. Styles, I think we have a plan here." I say proudly throwing my hand up for a highfive.

He leans forward and highfives me smiling, "Yes we do Belgium, and it's going to work like a charm, a lucky charm." He winks at me, "Get it? Lucky charm? 'Cuz he's Irish?"

"Oh my God." I face palm shaking my head.

"No? Oh come on, that was comedic gold."

I lift my head out of my hand unable to control the laughter. He's thinking it

"Hey your coming over after school to work on this project right?"
I nod fiddling with the prongs of my notebook.

"I'll just take you home with me after school, then I'll take you back to your car after." He suggests. I can't just decline because what is my excuse? Blair, Blair is my excuse. She sees me getting in Harry's car that she knows by the license plate I'll be screwed.

"I'll meet you by your locker after school?" He asks but I shake my head quickly, "Or not?"

"Sorry, I can just walk to your car, it's no big deal." Blair would shit bricks for sure.

"A-alright then, that's okay too." He gives me a weird look but waves if off and is interrupted by our teacher.

"Hey Jaz, oh my gosh you will not believe this. Harry smiled and waved at me today! Our love is blossoming, truly!" She shrieks as I approach my locker she has been waiting for me at.

"Oh really? Crazy." I sarcastically say, not wanting to come off too rude but kinda wanting to punch Harry for doing that to make her fall more in love with him. Poor bastard has no idea.

I quickly grab my things out of my locker and shut it, "Woah, what's the rush?" Blair asks giving me a weird look.

"I just have to be home quickly, my mom wants me to do dishes and all before she gets home, you know how she is."

"Oh okay, well I'll call you tonight!" She says walking backwards away from me.

"Uh, okay!" I shout as she turns around. Uh, I hope it's not while I'm at Harry's. Why can't she just text me like normal teenagers do? We aren't in the 90's. Kind of wish we were though, always wanted to be a teen in every decade, would've been so cool.

I quickly walk out to the parking lot to where Harry told me his car was. I actually knew his parking spot already because Blair would always tell me and point it out to me as we walked outside into the parking lot.

Sure enough when I see the vehicle, it's surrounded by the faces I've seen a lot of lately, except Niall's not there. Probably scoping out Blair as she looks inside for Harry. The irony.

"What took you so long Jaz?" Harry asks when I reach them.

"It's been two minutes, Blair was at my locker. And I swear if you say anything Louis I will end you." I threaten and look at him who is backing up with his hands up.

"Thought so. Anyways, let's go Harry, I don't have all day to wait in this parking lot." I wave him along and open the passenger seat door.

"So you guys are making a volcano? Little cliché don't ya think? Not trying anything else creative?" Zayn asks before I could get inside. Art people gosh.

"That's what I said, ask Harry."

Harry looks at me offended, "Hey! We talked about how no one else would be doing it because it's cliché, and we can make it really creative." He looks back at the boys smiling as if they will understand now that he has explained himself.

They all just look at each other and laugh, "A volcano is so boring, there is nothing else you could do that requires some thought?" Liam asks laughing.

"Jasmine I know you've got a creative brain, don't let Harry take it away from you." Zayn says making me smile.

"Hey, she agreed to this idea, we are going to make it awesome do all of you can shut up." Harry says not liking their criticism.

"Well good luck Jasmine, working with him you're going to need it." Louis says before walking away to his car.

"Thanks! See you guys." I wave at them and Harry pulls out of the parking lot.

The drive to his house is short, which is good because I don't ever want an awkward car ride. Who does?
I hop out of his car and we walk up to his door which he unlocks with a key.

"No one home?" I ask following him into the house.

"Nope, perfect time to fuck." He looks behind at me and winks.

AN: Okay am I the only one noticing not many stories have been updated lately? At least the ones I'm reading haven't been updated in so long when they used to be updated all the time! I used to have at least 3 notifications or more everytime I checked when I woke up. Now there is never any, only about one a week, and not even that most of the time. It makes me so sad, I think it may be everyone moving over to Raddish or something! It makes me sad because I'm broke :(
