A month passed.

There was nothing more than being friends between us. There were always the hangouts with Selena and coffee breaks with Harry. In a month, I was recruited at our school paper where in I had to undergo series of training and dropouts but through it all, I made it to the team. And to think of it, I was with Selena and Harry on the editorial sector. I was the feature editor of the team. Harry had some errands other than being the news editor; he also had to be the layout artist for the team. Regular classes still happen with tons of activities, homework and performances. Although through this, there was still no progress between Harry and I. Not that I hope there would be but because I was wishing there could be. He's so close to me but we act far apart from each other.

Now, I currently have my favorite Apple tea at a famous tea parlor here in the city. I have to be honest with you guys, but my finances are running out. I have to save the whole of me. I think this will be the last time I'll be in this place.

"It's nice to see you here Taffy." Hmmm. I only know one person who calls me that. My grade school crush. The great Joe Jonas. I looked at the person who called me and I wasn't really surprised for I know exactly who it was.

"Hi Joey. It's nice to catch up with you today. It's been so long. How are you?" I answered him. I looked into his eyes while sipping my tea.

"May I sit here across you? I think it's a nice time to chat after so long." He answered me with pleasing eyes. Well, I guess there is still a lot of time to chat with him. We're just two people who shared a wonderful history together.

Hey Miss Taylor. I'm currently here at the mall, want to hang?

My phone suddenly beeped informing me for amessage. I looked at Joe first and gestured him to sit down. I then viewed themessage that surprised me. Looking at the message it's like fate is giving methe choice to pick who I want to be with at the moment. Well, I get to seeHarry in school; we always have the time to talk if he'll just approach me. Andas for Joe, this is the first time since we parted. I guess I'll just have topick Joe for now. For a formal declination I'll just send him a reply. I guesshe'll understand right? Typing the text that I am about to send him then Joesuddenly opened up the conversation.   


To: Mister Styles

Hey Mister Styles. I'mcurrently at the mall right now with an old friend. Maybe next time?

"So, any new guy after me? Haha. I missed you so much Taffy. There's much to talk about between us." He seriously plugged in the love story he and I had. Actually, we shared a sweet history. We were 3rd grade sweethearts. We held our world so high at the wrong time. We were so young that he was too aggressive to have me as his.

"There's no new guy Joe. Hahaha. How about you someone new after me?" I know him too well. He has eventually replaced me that fast. It's been 3 years already.

"Well, no. There was no one after you. It's been so long, I know. The heart wants what it wants Taffy." Hmm. I feel this topic coming on.

"Well apparently, our love came out to early at such a bad timing indeed Mister Joey? Lol. How's school? Any plans now? What are you up to these days?" I asked him so that we wouldn't dwell much on our right love at the wrong time love story.

"Everything seems to be in good deed for me Taffy. The studies, the band me and my brothers have, everything is well. How about you? Do you come here very often?" he asks me back.

"I am doing great. I just transferred here not so long ago. It's good to know that you're going to school here to. When did you plan to move out of the province and study here?" I am curious so I am going to ask him that.

"Well, I moved for civilization. I study at Brantford High School section Pearl. What school do you belong to?" he asked me but my face was still surprised by the fact that we we're on the same learning institution.

"Uhm, actually, we go to the same school. But I am at section Diamond. Not a coincidence huh?" I laughed at that thought. Destiny is really planning for something to happen. The conversation got lighter and light till my phone beeped.


From: Mister Styles

I'm glad you met someone close to you. Okay. I guess I'll hang out with you next time. Take Care Miss Taylor. 

After so many minutes he just found this time to reply. What has he been up to? I don't want to add more stress into my system so I'll just let go of this at the moment. My conversation with Joe ended so fast after the message. Or was it just that I didn't pay attention to him.

"We should hang out more often Taffy. I'll see you soon I guess?" He kissed my cheek when we were outside my apartment. He even managed to drive me home with his auto. His curls were overflowing with shiny resemblance from the sun.

"We should Joey. Until the next? Goodbye." I gave him my famous hugs. And entered the apartment.

Back to Harry and I, we were getting closer but too far to even notice each others feelings.
