Take my Pain

Two

Harry's POV

After a long day of boring classes that seemed twice as long than usual, I finally head to my last class; the one I share with Rose.

I have been waiting literally all day for this one class ever since my first period, and I have no idea why. I mean, I know it's obviously because of Rose, but what exactly about Rose is it that I want to see again? Everything. Absolutely everything.

As soon as the bell rings, I jump straight out of my chair and literally almost run towards the door. Without stopping, I sprint towards my next class and, when I arrive, am disappointed to find that I am the first one there.

I sit in the very front row- since apparently that is Rose's favorite place to sit- casually putting my bookbag on the seat next to me -to save for Rose- and impatiently wait for her to come.

Boys and girls come in, filling the room with the stench of sweat and something else I don't want to imagine what it is. They probably just came in from gym -which was Rose's previous class.

Just as the bell rings, Rose comes into the room, her face flushed as if she's been running. I wave -maybe a bit too excitedly- and pat the seat next to me while taking my bookbag off the desk. She smiles and walks over to sit there.

"What took so long?" I ask teasingly making Rose's face flush even more, but this time from embarrassment. "I lost my way." she admits. "Where is Louis?" I ask. "We only had that one class together in second period." she explains. "He told me he could take me to my next classes but I didn't want to be a burden to him so I told him that I got it and I could find my way. I guess I can't- well not yet anyway." she blushes again causing something to stir inside me.

"Well I'm glad you could find this class. Just in the nick of time, too." I say as the teacher begins to talk.

During most of class, I decide to tune out the teacher's voice as I focus on Rose's beauty.

Since she is kind and respectful, she always laughs at the teacher's jokes- even though they are not funny- for his expense showing that she is actually listening and paying attention to what he's saying.

Although the teacher's jokes don't make me smile, Rose's laughs do. I can't help but notice how her beautiful eyes seem to glimmer and her perfect white teeth seem to shine. She doesn't have dimples like I do, but that doesn't make her any less attractive. The features on her exquisite face are dazzling enough for me.

When the bell rings to dismiss the class, I hurriedly pack my things and stand in front of Rose just as she stands up with her bookbag on her shoulders.

"Ready to go?" I ask. "Yea. I'm so tired." she says while rubbing her eyes and I can't help but chuckle at her cuteness. "Here. I can carry that for you. It looks so heavy." I say and take her book bag off her shoulder.

As we walk towards our bus, she tells me about her day. "Some of my classes are fun... Some are... How should I say it... Boring." she giggles and I smile. "Some?" I question and she laughs. "Okay, maybe all." she admits.

During the ride home, she asks me why I don't have a car. "Can't get one until next May." I explain. "I'm saving money from my job so I can buy my own new car."

"Really? What's your job?" she asks curiously. "Ummm..." I hesitate to answer, immediately blushing. "Huh? What is it?" she asks noticing my delayed answer. "Umm.. it's kind of embarrassing..." I don't know if I should tell her and risk being laughed at- even though it is highly unlikely that someone like Rose would laugh at me straight to my face.

She lightly nudges my arm with her elbow. "C'mon Styles. What is it? You wouldn't be a stripper or something would you?" she asks mischievously.

My eyes widen at the thought. She chuckles. "I'm just joking, Harry. So if that's not the unspeakable job, what is it?"
