"Hey, I don't think we have official met. My names Louis," he says reaching out his hand.
"My name's Harry," I reply, and shake his hands. Though I'm sure he is already grossed out by my abnormally sweaty palms.
"Are you new? I've never seen you around," he says as we begin walking down the hall to the cafeteria.
"Umm...no" I say a bit more quietly.
"Oh. Well that's cool," he doesn't seem as enthusiastic anymore. In fact he seems like he's barely hanging onto this "conversation" we are having.
"Uh.. You know you can leave if you want." I say, but immediately regret it. "Like I mean, erm.... You don't have to stay here with me. You can go with your friends."
"But what if I want to stay here. With you."
The way he says with you makes me have a weird feeling in my stomach.
"Oh. Okay, I just. I am the least person anyone would expect you to sit with." I say as we sit down across from each other right by the window.
"That's okay. I don't mind what they say. Most times.." The last part he mumbles, which makes me feel skeptical.
"Hey, I have to go. But if you give me your number we can chat." This caught me off guard and I nearly choked on my lemonade.
"Oh yeah.. Totally" I say, trying to play it cool but it really didn't hide the fact that I was mentally freaking out.
I put my number in his phone and hand it back to him. My finger touches his and it stays there awkwardly for 5 seconds.
I look up and he just stares at our hands. In his eyes I can see him thinking deeply, but then he blinks and gets up as if nothing has happened in the last minute.
"Uh bye" he says, confused and walks away looking distracted by his thoughts. A little too distracted when he accidentally runs into a trash can and almost falls. I laugh a little too hard at that. And then a few seconds later my phone buzzes.
Unknown:
It's rude to laugh at the clumsy ;)
Me:
Sorry didn't know you were one of them ;)
Louis:
There are lots of things you do not know about me
Me:
Like what
Louis:
Uhh. Well.
Me:
Exactly.
Louis:
I like movies, and popcorn, and cuddling ;)
Me:
Is that so? I didn't expect you to be that type
Louis:
Ouch.
Me:
:(
Louis:
:)
Me:
We should plan something...
Louis:
Are you saying like a date, styles?
Me:
It depends what you think it is, tommo ;)
Louis:
Ohh okay. XD when?
Me:
Today?
I get a nervous feeling in my stomach like somebody is tying a knot there.
Louis:
Sorry I can't. Got to go bye.
This is twice now. He goes from being so happy and immediately it's like he remembers that he isn't supposed it be talking to me or even seen with me. I'll have to ask him about it tomorrow. When we are alone and there are no distractions. That is if I even get the courage to do so.
