Everything About You (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter 21

Monday, August 31, 2009

"I just realised something," I gasped as I saw the email I'd gotten from my laptop. "What is it?" Harry asked, coming behind me from where I was sitting at the small, round table to look at my screen. I was at the bakery, and he was currently on break. "We start school next Monday!" How had I forgotten something so important?! We were starting our last year in Secondary (High) School.

"Oh, the joys of HCCS," Harry muttered sarcastically. "Well at least you don't have to stay for the whole year. You get to leave and go on the X Factor." He smiled at my comment but rolled his eyes. "I won't make it in anyways." I played with his cute, little curls before turning back to my laptop. "Yes, you will. Your voice is amazing." "Doubt it. Well, I have to get back to work now, babe."

He kissed my cheek and began walking towards the back of the bakery, but I grabbed his arm before he could leave. "I have a question though!" He sighed, grinned, and waited for my question. "Why are you working today? Didn't you recently agree to working on the weekends?" "I have to finish today, and then I start weekends this week." I nodded at him and he smiled before waving good bye.

After Harry left, I began looking at the list of supplies I'd need for this school year. I guess I should get all the stuff today. I hate waiting until the very last minute. I dialed my mom's number and waited for her to answer while I wrote down the stuff I'd need on a notepad that I'd had in my purse. "Hello?" "Hey, mum. I'm going school shopping, okay? I might be gone for most of the day." "Oh, I got all your supplies last week, sweetie. Come home first and I'll give you money for clothes, though."

I love shopping! "Okay, thanks. See you in a bit." I hung up and packed my laptop away in my purse before walking up to the bakey's counter. "Barbara?" I called out. "Emery!" She came out from in the back and up to the other side of the counter. "Did you want anything before you leave? I'm sure Harry could help you find something in the back." "Oh, are you sure? I want to pay for it though."

She waved her hand away at my thoughts and smiled widely. "You don't need to pay, Em. You're like family!" I smiled at her and went behind the counter where she was. "I'll show you where he is." I followed her into the back and found him sitting on the ground with flour all in his hair. "Harold!" Barbara scolded whilst I laughed at him. His green eyes looked at me and I saw a grin on his face.

"Oops," he got up and shook his hair, making flour get all over the place. "You're cleaning this up, alright?" Barbara pointed a finger at him and sighed then glanced back to me. "I don't know how you deal with this all the time." All 3 of us heard a bell ring meaning someone had entered, so Barbara went back to the counter.

"Do you even work or do you just play around?" I helped get off left-over flour in his curls and he put his arms around my waist. "I don't think so, Styles. You need to get to work and I need to go shopping." "Shopping? For what?" "Well, I thought I'd need school supplies, but my mum got them last week. Now I just need clothes." Our school was one of the lucky ones that didn't require students to wear gross uniforms.

"Oh, I guess I should see if my mum got my school supplies. If not, you're shopping with me tomorrow." Harry's dimples showed as he grinned once I agreed to shopping with him. "So what food do you have back here? Barbara said I could have some for free." Harry's eyes widened at my statement. "She never lets me get anything without paying!" "I guess she just likes me more."

I giggled as Harry glared in the direction Barbara went in. "Anyways, the foods are this way." He took my hand and led me there.

"We're almost at your place," Harmony told me quickly over the phone. I'd decided to invite my two best girl friends to come shopping with me: Harmony and Odessa. I hadn't seen them since the beginning of June when we'd had a pool party. Harmony had flown to America to meet her cousins and Odessa went to Ireland with her mum and dad to meet her mum's best friend, and her mum's best friend's son.
