The New Boy

The Notebook

Mina's POV You still stared at the letter in your hand when you suddenly heard your name. ''Hey, are you alright?'' You looked up to see Danny walking up to you. You quick crumbled the letter in your hand and shoved it in your bag. ''Yeah.'' You said smiling as you walked towards Danny, he would give you a ride home. You two walked to his car as you suddenly felt his hand brushing against yours, you felt a weird feeling in your stomach. You quick pulled your hand back and smiled nervously.

After Danny had brought you home during an awkward silence, you flopped yourself on your bed. You grabbed the letter out of your bag and read it all over again. Your heart just melted at the sweet letter Harry had written for you. He still felt the same and so did you but you were gonna let him work for you. You did some school work and saw it was evening already. Suddenly your phone rang and you quick picked up. ''Hello?'' You said. ''Hey Mina.'' Harry said nervously. You smiled at the thought of how cute he must've looked right now. ''Hey Harry.'' You said smiling although he couldn't see you. ''So you've read my letter huh?'' He asked and chuckled softly. ''I did.'' You said smirking. He waited for you to continue. ''It was sweet Harry.'' You said to him and you could almost feel him smiling through the phone. ''Does that mean you will go on a date with me tomorrow night?'' He asked. ''Sure Harry.'' You giggled softly at the end. It felt as if you and Harry just met but still familiar in some kind of way. ''Good.'' He smirked satisfied. ''I'll pick you up at, around 8?'' He asked. ''Perfect but I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow.'' You said. ''Okay, bye Mina.'' He said. ''Bye Harry.'' You said and hung up. Danny was going to stop by at your place because he didn't understand something about literature and you could teach him. You grabbed your books and the doorbell rang. It was Danny. ''Are we gonna study at my place or just here?'' He asked. ''Just here will be fine.'' You said smiling, you were in a good mood. He nodded and followed you upstairs to your room. You were in shorts and a tank top but Danny was your best friend, he wouldn't mind, right? ''Okay so what exactly don't you understand?'' You asked as you looked at him. He looked you straight back in the eyes and his mouth slightly open. When he still didn't say anything, you raised your eyebrow. 'Erm, yeah this.'' He said suddenly nervous as he flipped the page and pointed to an poem. You explained what the author meant with the poem and within 5 minutes, he already understood it. ''So that was it?'' You giggled softly. ''Yeah.'' He nodded nervously. ''Well, we have lots of time left. Shall we just watch a movie or something?'' You suggested. Danny nodded happily and you put on a dvd while you crawled in your bed with Danny laying next to you. You had put on The Notebook, you had watched it a thousand times before but you didn't mind watching it again. ''This movie is so romantic.'' You sighed deeply at the end. ''It is..'' Danny huffed. You looked to him and smiled. ''You know Dan, I really need to thank you. For literally everything. You're the most amazing friend someone could wish for. Please don't ever leave me.'' You whispered as you put your arms around his waist and pulled him closer to you. You rested your head on his chest and felt his breathing going faster. ''I won't.'' He whispered as his hand went softly through your hair. ''Thanks Dan.'' You muttered as you pulled away from the embrace and just looked at him for a second. He came closer and suddenly you felt his lips against yours. It was a sweet innocent kiss. But then he licked your bottom lip for entrance and you pulled away. ''Erm, I.. I'll just go.'' He said quickly as he stood up from your bed. ''Why did you do that?'' You whispered and he turned around. He knelt down in front of you and looked desperately. ''You really don't see it, do you?'' He whispered as he looked into your eyes. ''See what?'' You asked confused. He sighed deep and shut his eyes. He stood up and so did you. ''Never mind, I'll pick you up tomorrow.'' He said and gave you a quick kiss on your forehead before leaving your house. What was that all about? But to be honest, you enjoyed that kiss..

The next morning, you were actually looking forward to school since you could see Harry again. It was a warm day so you decided on high waisted dark denim shorts with a black tank top tucked in. You picked some cute necklaces to match your outfit and put on some Toms. You kept your makeup natural and tied your hair in a high ponytail. The doorbell rang and you knew it was Danny. You raced downstairs and opened the door to let him in. ''I just need to grab my bag.'' You said and raced upstairs again to grab your bag. ''Let's go.'' You said smiling as you walked outside with him. You put on the radio to avoid awkward car silences. When you two reached the parking lot, Danny turned it off and looked at you. ''So we're not talking about what happened yesterday?'' He asked. You thought before you answered him. ''No, it was just a perfect moment for a kiss and you know, you're my best friend, you just had to try it. I understand.'' You said and smiled. Danny's face just dropped but he quick fied himself. ''Exactly, the kiss meant nothing.'' He said nervously as he stepped out of the car. He was right, the kiss meant nothing but why did it hurt when he said that?
