Caroline's POV:

I woke up early this morning and dragged myself to the toilet. Then I had a quick shower, dried my hair and went back to my room where I pulled on my blue jeans and a purple top.

As I stuggled to apply some makeup, I heard my dad calling me downstairs.

"Care!... CARE! Come down! I need to talk to you"

I frowned. this isn't how our morning should be like. Usually my dad would come to my room and ask me to hurry up and that he would leave in ten minutes.

I stumbled as I walked down the stairs. When I recovered my balance, my eyes shot wide open at the sight in front of me.

what the hell?

Was all I could think of as I stood still in my place not even bothering to greet the figures in front of me.

Harry was standing on our porch talking with dad. He was actually having fun and my breath hitched in my throat as I saw his cute dimples. Then, out of nowhere, his eyes locked with mine so long that my dad had to turn his head into my direction and see me standing with red cheeks and wide and confused eyes.

He cleared his throat as he said "Sweetie! You didn't tell me that Harry promised to drive you to school today."

"What?" I blurted. If looks could kill I am sure Harry would be dead on our old porch right now.

I could clearly imagine my standing position at this moment: a hand around my waist, my bag thrown on the flour without me noticing, my eyebrows raised so high that it started to hurt and my mouth oppened like a fish gaping for water.

His voice brought me to life and I can hear him say "I just thought that since I live not so far from your house, I can give you rides to school, if you don't mind" He tried to clarify the situation, eyes shining a bright green color.

My dad nodded and thanked him. He kissed me on my forehead and told me "Good bye Care. See you after school, be ready by then!"

Then, he strode out our house, climbed his car and drove away. I didn't realise I was pinned in my place for a long time until Harry came in front of me too close that I could feel his body's heat warming mine and his cologne doing nothing but worsening my situation.

"Did you have breakfast?" was all I could ask before walking towards the kitchen.

"Yes" His answer was short and I could feel him walking behind me and sitting at the chair in front of me as I made my breakfast.

My mum was addicted to coffee so I just try to avoid drinking or even seeing it at all costs, instead I am always eating cereals.

I can feel him looking at me but I didn't dare to raise my head up. I was feeling nervous and I could feel that my last night's cutting wasn't enough to restore my selfconfidence.

Unfortunately for me, today is a busy day at school. Besides my visit to mum will take the whole evening thus I won't have the house for myself.

- What are you thinking about? You seem too deep in thoughts.
He questioned me.

I looked at him. There is no way I am telling him my deepest secret so I said trying to seem as angry as I can " I was thinking why the hell would you bother to give me a ride to school"
