Helplessly Falling (Harry Styles FanFiction)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Kaitlyn’s POV

I woke up to the sound of my obnoxious alarm clock. It was Monday. I’ve been dreading this day since Saturday. I thought about staying home, so I wouldn’t have to face Harry or Spencer. But I realized that putting it off would just make it worse.

I decided on a lazy day. I took a shower and put my hair in a side braid. I put on running shorts, a t-shirt, and a pair of white converse. I didn’t put on any make up because, what was the point? It’s not like I have anyone to impress. Harry was going to stay with Maria, so I didn’t have a chance.

When it was time for me to leave for the bus, I said goodbye to my parents, grabbed my backpack and left for my bus stop.

This morning, I didn’t talk to anyone on the bus. I was mindlessly scrolling through Tumblr on my phone just thinking about what would happen today. Did Harry break up with Maria? Is Spencer going to try to talk to me? But before I knew it, the bus had arrived at school.

They day flew by, up until lunch. I didn’t really pay attention in any of my classes but, oh well.

When I got to lunch, I saw that Spencer wasn’t there. I guess he didn’t want to see me either. But, I saw Harry sitting with Maria, and they were holding hands. I stopped dead in my tracks and my heart dropped. I felt humiliated. Harry was laughing and having a good time with his friends meanwhile I’m standing here, heartbroken. Harry and I made eye contact, and his smile was wiped off of his face. He looked like a deer in the headlights. But when Maria noticed our eye contact, she grabbed Harry’s face and kissed him. It quickly turned into a make out session that she was clearly enjoying. I shook my head, not wanting to see anymore, and walked over to my lunch table. Everyone greeted me, but Kaycie looked at me as I sat down and asked, “Are you alright?”

I nodded. I can’t let this ruin my life.

But, apparently I’m a very easy person to read. All of my friends at the table asked me what was wrong. I had Kaycie tell the story because I didn’t trust myself not to not break down. Luckily, Kaycie left out the part about Spencer.

When she finished telling the table about this past weekend’s events, Alicia said, “Why don’t you make him jealous? Give him a taste of his own medicine.”

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Find another guy! Have like a fake boyfriend or something. Make sure he’s attractive. And then you guys could make out in front of Harry and everything, and he would definitely get jealous” she exclaimed.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Her idea was genius! But then I realized something. “That’s a good plan, but there’s no other guy” I stated.

Joey looked at me like I was insane and said, “Kaitlyn. Tons of guys like you. In fact, I’ve got a lot of friends that do.”

I didn’t believe him, so I asked, “Who?”

He thought for a moment and said, “There’s Shane, Jason, Niall, Zack, Matt, and Zayn.”

I frowned. “Aren’t half of those guys Harry’s friends?”

Joey nodded. Alicia squealed and said, “That’s even better! Oh my gosh yes! Do that!”

Joey nonchalantly said, “Oh yeah, I could hook you up with one of them. Which one do you want?”

I bit my lip as I thought. But Kaycie spoke up and said, “Niall, Matt, and Zayn are friends with Harry, so I would pick one of those.”

Kimmy said, “I mean, they’re all hot. Niall is a sweetheart. Zayn has that bad boy thing going on. And Matt is just a man whore. So, I think it should be between Zayn and Niall.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“We still don’t even know if one of them will be up for that. You know, dating me and being Harry’s friend. But Harry probably never talks about me so… I guess it could work” I pondered.

“I think Niall would be better. He’s a nice guy, so I think it would work out” Kaycie explained.

“Okay, so I’ll hook you up with Niall. I’ll talk to him about it in 7th period” Joey said.

I glanced over at Harry and smirked. He looked at me with a confused look on his face, but I went back to talking to my friends.

******************************************************************************

The dismissal bell finally rang. Today wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. But I still had to wait to be picked up by my mom. I really hoped Harry wouldn’t talk to me.

I walked over to my friends, near the parking garage. As I was talking to them, I saw Niall walking over to us. I looked over at Joey who was smirking, looking from me to Niall.

Niall came in front of me and asked, “Hey Kaitlyn, are you busy on tomorrow, afterschool?”

I smiled and said, “Nope, not at all.”

A huge grin grew on his face and he said, “Awesome, so do you want to go to the movies or something?”

“Yeah, sounds like fun” I said, excitedly.

“Great. Here let me give you my number” he said as we exchanged phones.

We tapped in our numbers, and we gave back each other’s phone.

He smiled and said, “I’ll see you tomorrow, bye Kaitlyn.”

“Bye Niall”, I replied.

I turned back to my friends and squealed. I had a date with Niall!

******************************************************************************

When my mom dropped me off at home, I quickly ran upstairs to pick out my date outfit. While I was rummaging through my closet, my phone buzzed. I got a text message from Niall.

From: Niall

Hey! I was thinking we could go right afterschool, so I could just drive you. Is that okay?

I smiled at the text and replied

To: Niall

Yeah! That’s perfect :)

My phone buzzed again a minute later.

From: Niall

Cool. See you tomorrow :)

I was excited for the date. Niall is pretty popular so if we actually start dating, the word will spread fast, and Harry will definitely find out.

I hope this hits him hard.
