Oblivion | h.s (a.u)

We all walk out of the small cafe heading towards central campus. Harry grabs my arm making me stop.

"Let them go, I want to talk to you." He spoke just above a whisper.

"What is it?" I asked nervously.

"You're beautiful Layla." He said, staring into my eyes. My cheeks redden. Wow. If only I could tell him how breath taking I thought he was.

"Thank you.." I said shyly. A smirk creeped onto his face.

"Let me take you out." He said. It sounded more of a statement then any kind of question. Aside from him being very good looking, I was interested to learn more about him.

I considered his offer, but before I even had a chance to answer, a girl interrupted us.

"Harryyyyyyyy." She wined. Her voice immediately irritated me. What the fuck. She didn't even have the decency to say excuse me or anything. I already didn't like her. A scowl quickly took over my face.

"Hi Cat!" He curtly greeted the annoying red head.

"I need you help, can you please come with me." She pouted while caressing his arm.

"I'm in the middle of something, can it wait?" annoyance becoming obvious in his tone. She eyes me with a look of disgust.

"No it's super important." She said, yanking him in her direction.

"Fuck, we'll continue this another time, yeah?" He said before running off. Well shit. I finally got to talk to him and someone had to ruin it. I look in the distance to see Theo and Brooke sitting by the fountain. I walk over to them and talk about how much stuff I have to get done. I say my goodbyes and wink at Brooke before heading back to our dorm room.

I don't understand why that girl Cat got to me so much. Harry and I are literally nothing. So why does it bother me? I didn't want to think about the encounter anymore. I started unpacking, placing everything in a perfect spot. I decide to call my mom.

"Hi baby girl!" She chirped through the receiver.

"Hi mom, I would of called earlier, but I got caught up with Brooke." I chose to leave anything about Harry out of any conversation. I could talk to my mom about that stuff but it wasn't even anything. Was it? I start to recall how his left eye had a slight sparkle in it when he called me beautiful.

I soon realize my mom is calling my name on the other side and snap back into reality. We talk for about 5 more minutes before I hang up.

...

It's about 8 pm and I get a text from Brooke.
Get dressed girl, into something cute! We're going to a party tonight. (;
A party, tonight? I just want to sleep.
I'm really tired Brooke, you go!

No way! I'm not going without you and there's no way we aren't going! Theo invited us, we really hit it off Layls. Now get dressed I'll pick you up in 20!

I heavily sighed. "Ah what the hell." I said to myself. I went over to my dresser and chose white jeans and a teal crop top. I curled the ends of my hair and applied light make up. I never usually put an effort into my appearance but it's the first party of the year, might as well leave some kind of impression.

Brooke is soon outside and calling me like crazy. I finally get into the car and relax into the seat.

"You take forever!" She yelled.

"You said to be ready in 20 and I was ready in 15!" I yelled back. She smiled and winked at me. I rolled my eyes. The drive was full of her talking about her day with Theo.
