I thought about this "date" with Harry for four hours straight. "I want to go out with him". I said to myself. "But why am I so scared?" I asked myself. My thoughts were interrupted by Mom screaming at me. "MAYA. IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" She said loud enough for the whole neighborhood could hear. I hurried downstairs to find Dad sitting down at the dinner table. "Hi Dad", I said as I kissed him on the cheek. He turned to look up at me and he smiled. "Good eveing, Darling". He said excitedly. "How was your day?" I pulled my chair out of the table, and sat down. "It was good". I said, putting my napkin in my lap. In my family, it's all about being proper. We come from a rich family, so we need to make some sort of impression. Mom grabbed the food and placed it in the middle of the table. "How was your day?" She asked as she served me. I grabbed a mouth load of food, and looked at it. "Oh, you know. Stuff". I said. They both looked at me. "What kind of stuff?" Dad asked as he brought his plate over. I put the food into my mouth, and continued on with the story about my day. "Some guy asked me out". I said. They were shocked. Their eyes went from small to big. "He better treat you right". Dad said, eating. I nodded. "Of course. I'll make sure he will". I said. There was nothing but the sound of forks touching the plates then. Finally, Mom asked "What's his name?" I took a while to answer her question, but when I did, I said "His name is Harry. He works at Walmart, and I met him last night at the party". Dad stood up, and walked around. "Does he have a history of violence or drugs and alcohol?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't know". I said. "But when I find out, I'll let you know". There was silence for a moment, and he looked at me with his blue eyes. "I just want to know if my daughter's safe from this boy". He said. Mom rubbed Dad's back, and I sighed. Dad's always protective of me. I guess that's his way of showing that he cares. "Yes, I'm fine". I said. He sat back down, not making anymore conversation. "OK." He said. I stood up, and got everyone's plate from the table. No one said anything the rest of the evening.
When I got to school the next day, I was very excited to tell Zayn that I was going out with Harry that night. "How many hours did you think about it?" He asked. "Four". I said, proudly. He tapped my back, as if to say congratulations. "Awesome. New record for you". He said. The other boys approached me and Zayn and joined in the conversation. "What's a new record?" Louis asked- coming up behind Zayn. Zayn turned around to face Louis and tried to (but failed to) give him a high five. "That was a horrible high five". Louis said. Zayn nodded. "Of course. It always is." Zayn said. Niall continued on the conversation. "So, what's a new record?" He asked, skeptically. I turned to face my locker and continued talking. "Oh, It's a long story". I said. But I saw Zayn shake his head from the corner of my eye. "So, someone has asked her out". He said. The boys hooted and hollered. "OOOOH. WHAT'S NAME? DOES HE GO HERE?" Liam asked. I blushed really hard from inside my locker. "No". I said. The boys looked confused. "No what?" Louis asked. I shut my locker, and turned my attention to the boys. "He doesn't go here. I don't know where he goes. I don't even know if he goes to school". I said. I was about to walk away, but Louis pulled me back. "Is it the same guy from the party last night?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, it is". I said. He put his hands in the air like an idiot. "Don't go out with him". He said. "I heard about him from a couple of friends. He's so weird". I really didn't care. I wanted to go out with him, regardless if he was werid or not. "I heard he sells drugs or some shit like that" Liam said. I laughed out loud. The boys stared at me laughing like a hyeina. "Why are you laughing?" Louis asked. I didn't hear them because I was laughing so much. I finally regained myself, and answered their question. "Harry? A drug dealer? No. He's too hot for that". I said. But Liam shook his head. "I'm serious, Maya. He's bad news". I walked away, laughing like an idiot. Little did I know, they were right.
