Time will only tell

Chapter 4

Harry's P.O.V.~

When I got home I got a text from Gen saying, "1214 maple street." Maple Street, why does that sound so familiar? I headed downstairs to find my mom in the kitchen. "Hey mom, do you know where maple street is?" I asked. "Yeah, if you turn right at the stop sign you'll see it." She said in a tone that hinted as to why I was asking. "Okay, thanks." I said then rushed upstairs before she could question me. On the way to and from school, Mike and I pass maple street. I texted Gen back telling her I would be there in ten minutes.

When I arrived at Gen's house, to say i was a little nervous was an understatement. I was so nervous, beads of sweat were starting to form on my forehead. What if her parents open the door? What if she has a really over-protective brother? These types of questions were just floating around in my mind.

I finally gathered up the courage to ring the doorbell, and with my luck her older brother answers the door. He is glaring and staring me down. Uh oh, he's the over-protective type.

"So, you're here to see my sister?" He said with an intimidating tone.

"Y-yes, but only for a project." Did I really just stutter? Wow, now he probably thinks I'm weak. Her brother drops the glare and a slight smile creeps upon his face. I was a little confused as to why he was smiling.

"I like you, we have to hangout sometime so I can introduce you to my friends. Oh my name's Louis by the way." A huge wave of relief washed over me and I smiled.

"Sure Louis, I would love to meet your friends." Just then Gen descended from the stairs.

"Louis, I hope you're not bothering Harry." She groaned.

"No, he wasn't bothering me at all." I replied quickly.

"Yeah Gen, actually, before you rudely interrupted us, Harry here agreed to hangout with me and my friends." Louis seemed quite proud but I have no idea why he would be.

"No, no, no, I know what your friends are like and I don't want them infecting Harry." Gen said quickly.

"It was one time Gen! When are you going to let that go!" Exclaimed Louis. I had a feeling this was going to go on for awhile.

"I don't care if it was one time! It doesn't change the fact that you guys embarrassed me!" Gen was yelling at the top of her lungs by now.

"Should I come back another time?" I said while awkwardly standing there.

"No, its okay. I'm going out with my friends so it was nice meeting you Harry." Louis said while shaking my hand.

"You too." I replied. When he shook my hand I noticed he had slid a piece of paper in my hand. I shoved the paper in my pocket so I could read it later. Mike and Gen are my only friends at that school, so it would be nice to have more and meet new people. I have to wonder though, what did they do to embarrass Gen?
