Dare (Harry Styles)

CHAPTER THREE

(HAROLD's POV:)

Again, we were back at school. It was only a week until school ends, and that means no more seeing Caitlin.. unless something actually happens between us. I mean, I REALLY like her.

And that kiss.. I know I'm not the only one who loved it.

I was sitting at my desk, and one of the quieter girls, Sam, came up to me.

She had her light brown hair in a bun, and her face smothered with foundation.

"Harold.." She said leaning on my desk.

"Yes..?" I replied touching my hair, smoothing it down with my hand.

"You looked pretty hot at the party.. why don't you dress like that everyday?"

I kind of thought about her question for a minute. Why don't I dress like that?

"I want someone to like me for me. Not my looks." I said softly looking back down at my book.

She just stood at my desk for a moment, before turning around and walking to her own desk.

My teacher suddenly yelled "LISTEN UP!" And that's when I actually had to look up from my novel.

(CAITLIN's POV:)

"You looked pretty hot at the party.. why don't you dress like that everyday?" I overheard Sam ask Harold.

Suddenly I got interested, and I started to eavesdrop on their conversation.

He kind of sat there just staring at his book, then answered.

"I want someone to like me for me. Not my looks."

That's so cute.. no it's nerdy. If he wanted to get a girl he would just be his hot self. Not this geek.

But this geek.. is kind of.. charming.

My teachers yelling brought me out of my thoughts.

"LISTEN UP!" She yelled looking around the class room.

"IM ASSIGNING YOU AN END OF THE YEAR PROJECT! You need to pick a partner for this assignment."

Rose tapped me on the shoulder and smirked. We were always partners, we got this.

"BUT.. your partner must be of the opposite sex." My teacher said glancing at me and Rose. "Dammit.." I heard Rose say under her breath.

I looked around the classroom to see everyone almost had a partner. I glanced at Harold, to see he was already looking at me. I got up, but saw Sam walking over to him.

Nononono c'mon Harold is my last choice.

"Wanna be partners?" I heard her ask him, and he wouldn't stop looking at me.

She obviously didn't get the point when he didn't answer, and she pulled up a chair beside him.

"Caitlin, would you like to be partners?" I turned around to see Harold's best friend. Leeroy Payne.

Oh god. "Sure." I smiled, sitting down beside him.

(HAROLD's POV:)

I saw her sit down with Leeroy, while I heard Sam talking to me. I just zoned her out, and stared at Caitlin.

Caitlin glanced over at me a few times, and I could tell she was getting nervous and uncomfortable, feeling my gaze on her.

"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" I heard Sam shout into my ear. I turned to her and said "No, sorry."

"It's alright." She said patting my leg. Well that was uncomfortably close to my ding dong.
