Dandelions (A One Direction FanFic)

Love At First Sight

Harry's POV

"Make friends,Harry,and be nice! I love you!" My mum yelled over her shoulder as the bus began to get closer. "Love you too!" I yelled back. "Bye,Harry! Have a terrific day,son!" My dad yelled. "Bye!" I replied. I'd rather stay home on this hot summer day and play outside then go be the 'new kid'. Oh well, my mum always says "Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do." and I guess this is one of those things. I plucked a dandelion from the grass and quickly made a wish. "I wish that I would make a friend,no,a best friend! And We'd be best friends forever." The last few seeds blew off just as the bus stopped in front of me. With one last, big sigh I stepped on.

I knew there probably wasn't going to be anybody who wanted to sit with the stupid new kid so I sat by myself. I was DYING of boredom. Every street looked the same. Miles and miles of grass and daisies,maybe a few farms here and there. BORING!!!!! I felt ready to fall asleep,but,a girl made me feel wide awake. The bus had stopped again and a small girl was standing at the stop, playing with her pink backpack straps. She was beautiful....Her hair was very long (a little pass her shoulders) and in very loose,big curls. She wasn't very close but I could see that her eyes were a perfect blue. She wore a simple white dress that went down to her knees. She looked just as miserable as I was. I couldn't help but let my eyes follow her as she got on. As mean as it sounds,it made me happy to see that nobody was letting her sit with them. Maybe she'd sit with me....I was afraid she'd catch me looking at her,like some weirdo,so I pretended to stare out the window,admiring the boringness. "May I sit here?" 'Of course!' I thought to myself,but,on the outside I did what my dad taught me to do,play it smooth. I turned towards here and I was right! Her eyes are the perfect blue..."Sure." I said, giving her a big smile to show off my dimples. As the bus ride went on I no longer liked her for just her prettiness,I liked her for everything about her. She was funny, she was definitely smart, and her smile made my heart boom like a drum, I hope she can't hear it! Her name was Elizabeth Chester,that is now my favorite name ever.  Her family just moved from Birmingham to London. I told her my name was Harry Styles and that I'm new too. Looks like my wish came true.

Turns out we had the same teacher,looks like fate meant for us to be best friends. I new by the time the Ms.Bell walked in that I had a really big crush on Elizabeth. I wonder if she likes me too... We started doing this family drawing thing and I guess it was kinda fun. I looked over at Elizabeth (we made sure to get seats right next to eachother.) She looked like she was thinking about something...she looked worried? What could she be worried about? Today was perfect. She eventually noticed my staring and all worry seemed to leave her face,but,it was still in her eyes. "Are you all right?' I asked, hoping I didn't sound too worried. I'm pretty sure I failed. "Fine, how's you're drawing coming?"Her answer sounded fake,but,I didn't want to push it. "Almost finished. You?" "Uhhh yea! I'm almost finished too..." Again I just didn't want to push it so I just left it at that.

Eventually,it was her turn. She looked paler than before,a trick of the light? Probably not. "This is my mum." She pointed to a drawing of a girl with dark hair. "She  reads me bedtime stories and always tells me sweet dreams." There was a hint of sadness in her voice or maybe I was just hearing things? "This is my dad." She pointed to a drawing of of boy with brown hair. "He's a really good cook and tells jokes all the time." Again,a hint of sadness. She began walking back to her desk and I whispered "That was wonderful, Elizabeth." "Thanks,Harry." I wanted to ask about her 'father'. How come I didn't see him at the bus stop with her? Was he at work? But, how was I supossed to pry when I've barely known her for more than a day? I couldn't and I won't.

Our princelpal came in during our outerspace lesson. He looked like a big,sweaty oaf. His personality wasn't exactly great either. "If I catch any of you little boogers running around..." Blah blah blah. DON'T CARE! I started scribbling on a piece of paper and that turned into some insults about Mr.Pennski. I thought they were pretty funny. So funny in fact,I decided to show Elizabeth, thinking she might get a kick out of it. I looked around. Nobody was watching so I nudged Elizabeth's elbow with a folded corner of the note. She looked down and casually did the same 'on-looker-search' I did. Elizabeth then took the note and hid it underneath the table.I watched her as she unfolded it. I could tell she was holding back laughter and apparently Mr.Pennski saw that too.
