"Come on its Christmas break and your birthday you have to come ice skating with us!" My roommate April whined.
"You know I don't do anything that could kill me April. I think you should do the same!" I yelled into her room.
"Well at least let me and Cass take you somewhere for your birthday!"
Cass was our best friend who lived next door. Her real name is Cassidy.
"Did I hear my name?" She asked entering at the perfect time.
"We are taking Noel somewhere for her birthday!"
"I never agreed to anything." I said that even though I really wanted to go somewhere with them.
After about 15 minutes we decided they were going to surprise me with where we go. So I went to my room and put on some black leggings, maroon long sleeved shirt, and a pair of combat boots. I figured we were going somewhere casual so I didn't dress up.
We got in the car and they made me put put on a blind fold so I don't, and I quote, "spoil the surprise".
20 minutes later we get there and what do you know, we are at Campus Martias. Although something is telling me I should at least try ice skating so I don't put up a fight.
I was on the ice for 30 seconds before falling so I went to get hot chocolate.
"Three hot chocolates please." I asked wiping ice off my leggings.
"This your first time skating?" The tall boy with blue hair asked from behind the counter.
"How'd you know?" I replied sarcastically.
"Lucky guess." He said with a smirk as his eyes traveled up my body to meet mine.
His eyes were the prettiest shade of green I had ever seen. We stood there staring into each other's eyes for about 20 seconds before he snapped back into reality.
"That will be $9.51." He said.
I handed him ten bucks at let the cute boy keep the change.
As I was about to walk away he yelled to me
"If you need help I could teach you!"
"You're working I can't let you do that."
"My shift ends right now actually. I've been skating since I was 7."
"Well okay then, I looked at his name tag, Harry. I'm Noel"
We set the drinks down and went to get on the ice.
He got on first and grabbed my hand to help me on. Right away April and Cass started whispering to each other.
He grabbed my other hand guiding me. Suddenly this feeling came over me. I got chills luckily I could play it off as being cold.
After about 10 minutes we got cold and shared a hot chocolate when these three guys came up to us.
"Who would've known Harry Styles would ever get a girlfriend." The tallest one said to his friends.
"Aren't you too busy with your stupid band. Or did you guys not make it" the one on the right said pretending to be sad.
"Actually she isn-" he started to say but I cut him off.
"Yes Harry Styles got a girlfriend but with your attitude I don't see one in your future. And that band of his can rock so shut the fuck up." I say almost pissed enough to pour my hot chocolate on him, but I kept my cool.
"Oh please he's probably paying to be his girlfriend." They laugh.
"No, but these so called "friends" of yours out to be rich my now." Get the fuck out of here before I spill this on you. I said meaning it.
"Like you would actuall-" he starts as I dump it in his head.
They stomp away and I turn to see Harry laughing his ass off.
"Who are those guys?" I ask
"Just some jerks from high school that used to bother me." He said in a sort of no-big-deal tone. "Thanks for pretending to be my girlfriend by the way. And that band is actually not doing too bad."
"Well I'd love to hear you guys one day"
"I would love to play for you one day."
We went back to skating and I was actually doing pretty good. We played 20 questions (clean of course). I genuinely had a great time. April and Cass left about an hour ago but I wanted to stay so Harry offered to drive me home. I was really starting to like him and considering we stayed and talked until it closed I assumed he did too.
He walked me to my doorstep to say goodbye.
"Thank you for teaching me how to ice skate. This was one hell of a birthday."
"Well I'm glad I could make it so special Noel Bea Adair." He said using my full name which he learned during 20 questions.
"I'm glad too Harry Edward Styles."
There was a few seconds of tension between us before we exchanged numbers and I went inside. The second the door closed I slid down it with the biggest smile on my face like a cliché movie scene.
I WROTE CHAPTER ONE. THIS TOOK SO LONG. TBH I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS SOOOOOO YEAH I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
