The Promise

Partners

Angelina's POV

Music class! It must be my favorite part of the day even if it is 7:15 in the freaking morning. I love music because I can work on my songs and sing. Yay.

Mr. Banter is assigning partners today for the duet project. After the duet project we will do a solo one, then a 'band' one. I'm excited but terrified to find out who my partner is.

Mr. Banter is standing at the front of class waiting for the bell to ring. 'Brrrrrriing.' There it goes. The class goes dead silent as we all sit in our seats. "Okay, class. I will be announcing your partners in a moment." I feel my palms get sweaty immediately.

"Please find you partner and sit with them when you are called." He said surveying the classroom. He was about to call the partners. "Chase, Haley. Bridget, Niall. John, Alexandra. Taylor, Aiden. Vicki, Louis. Taylor, Mason. Addison, Evan. Angelina, Harry..."

Oh shit. I didn't pay anymore attention to the rest of the names, I just say there in surprise. I feel a tap on my shoulder, I look next to me to see him. Harry Styles is sitting next to me and I am still really terrified.

"Okay class time to work out what song you will sing together," said the teacher, then going to sit on his desk. "And remember you and your partner will be performing this in front to the entire class, and you will have to work on it outside of school." He said leaving us 10 minutes to talk. Shit.

He turns to me "Hey, I guess we're partners for this." I look at him just now turning towards him. "Yea, just tell me one thing." He gets a questioning' look on his face. "What?" "Can you actually sing?" I know a bit rude but I don't want to have this whole project on my shoulders.

"Yes, I can sing. How about you?" I feel slightly offended . "Of course I can sing!" I say a little defensive. I'm a little insecure on my singing voice, but really who isn't? "Sorry I didn't mean to seem like I was saying you didn't." He says sounding sincere. "Its alright, I'm just a bit insecure on my singing voice." "I am ,too." He says looking into my eyes.

"Okay, I think we should start working on the song." I say going back to my iPod. "Yeah, what do you want to do?" He asks nudging my side. "I actually don't know... Something not to girly or guyish, but something we can get emotions from." I say deciding it sounded right.

"Yea, I think I have a few ideas. How about we hang out at lunch an after school to get them straight." Woah he is really dedicated to this, thank god. "Sure that's fine with me, we should also be thinking of some songs." I say realizing I have science next and Mr. Harper lets us listen to music.

"Sounds great! How about we start writing a list and we can go from there?" This guy has some good ideas. "Sure." I saw giving him a genuine smile. He smiles back and we both get our notebooks out to start. I figured we could also just pick songs and then make them into duets. I start writing a list of my favorite songs:

•Everything Has Changed

•A Thousand Years

•Something that I want

•Wait For you

•Give Me Love

•Fall For You

"Angelina?" I turn my head to look at Harry. "Yeah?" I ask a bit confused. "Want to see what I've got so far?" I contemplated this for a moment. "Um, sure. You can look at mine." I said with a reassuring smile. We switched lists. Looks like he had the same idea as I did. His read:

•Drunk

•A Thousand Years

•Airplanes

•Give Me Love

•The A team

•You need me, I don't need you

•Kiss Me

Okay this kid is a huge Ed Sheeran fan, but seriously who isn't?!? The guy is awesome! He is inspirational.

"Angelina, I think we should pick our 2 top songs. Then go from there." He said handing me back my list. I handed his list back with a nod and a smile. "What are your top songs?" I asked with a small smile in his direction. "Well, A Thousand Years, and Give me love. How bout you?" "A Thousand Years, and Wait for you."

We both toke a moment to think. "Maybe we should do the song that we both agree on." I looked up into his eyes, they are so green like a grassy/jade color . "Yeah, that should work. So our song is A Thousand Years." I state with a smile.

He turns toward me and gives me a smile. "Do you want to come to my house to practice after school, today?" I think this through, an figure I wouldn't be missed at home. "That sounds great. Ill meet you at the bus." I say and start getting my things together.

"Okay well the bells about to ring what do you have next?" He really doesn't know we have every class together. "I have Science next." I say and look up at the clock realizing I have about 1 minute till the bell rings. "Me, too. We should sit near each other." "We'll I was planning on sitting near my friends... Could we sit be them too?" I ask really hoping he says yes. "As long as my friends also get to sit with us." He says giving me a big smile and getting up from his seat.

I get up ,too. We start to make our way to the door. We are standing right next to each other. We both start walking when the bell sound and our hands brushed and I turned bright red. His eyes seemed to light up , but I guess it might be in disgust or something.

We head of to class and sit in the middle so there are enough seats for six of us. I wonder what his friends will think of us hanging out...
