Until We Meet Again

Chapter 23

We both pull out of the kiss and he soon says, "Umm don't forget to think about the party. Well...I'll go now. Happy Birthday Rose." I watch him as he walks. I can't think of anything to say anymore. That's it. I need to ask him if we are actually a thing or no. Because this kissing thing is just too much for me. If only I had the guts to even ask.

Soon I walk back inside and quickly walk to my room. I don't really feel sleepy, so I decided to just open some presents. My eyes caught a present that has a label From: Mom and Dad, I grab it and opened the beautiful wrapper. Inside was a photo album. I flipped through the pages, and it is full of pictures from when I was younger until now. There are some with my parents or with Shay. I laughed looking at all the memories. I soon placed the album on my desk.

Apparantly I was able to open all my presents. I really don't feel sleepy. I look at the clock and it is already 2 in the morning. I'm going to be really sleepy tomorrow morning. I wish my birthday party wasn't on a school night.

I try squeezing my eyes shut until I fell asleep, and eventually I did.

Soon I feel my eyes open and it's already 6 in the morning. I really don't want to go to school, but i have to. I force myself out of bed and grab any outfit that I can find for the day.

I head downstairs and my parents are there. "Morning." I say. They look up at me and smiled. "Morning sweetie. Have you opened your presents?" Mom asks. "Yeah. Thanks for the photo album. It was beautiful." I say. "You're welcome. By the way, Shay has gone already with her friends." Dad says. I nod, a bit upset that she left me. Now I have to walk alone to school.

Suddenly I hear the sound of rain. I look out the window to check and sure enough it was raining. Time to take the car. "Well..I'll go now. See you later guys!" I say while rushing out to my car. I started to open the door to my car, when suddenly a voice scared me. "Took you a long time." I jump and look around to find the voice.

I let out a sigh of relief as I found it was just Harry...as usual. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Taking you to school. What else?" He says. "Thanks but you know I have a car. I can drive myself." I say.

"I know. I'm just trying to be nice. So..are you still using your car?" He says. I look at him and give in, slamming my car door shut. "Alright." I say and follow him to his car.

Maybe this is the right time to ask him about what we are. Him giving random affections is obviously something. "H-hey Harry?" I begin. "Yeah?" He says, his eyes still concentrating on the road. "Umm..I am just wondering. So um..." I continue. I wish I could just let it all out and ask him. But it's so hard. I'm afraid how he'll react.

"What? You can ask me anything, Rose. What is it?" He asks giving me a reassuring smile. "Well..um..the thing is-" But before I was able to even start a sentence, we were already in front of the school.

"Wait hold on. Let's get to class first. We'll talk there." He says. I give him a quick nod and start walking with him to class.

I straight away go to my seat and hopefully he forgot that I was going to say something. I need to find the right words first. Maybe I shouldn't even think about saying this to him. But I really want to know why he does these sweet gestures and even kissed me. I don't think I've seen him done that to someone else before. At least, I think he doesn't. I groan, knowing that I am no one to think about him like this. I have come to a conclusion that maybe I am just one of those kind of girls to him.

I was too busy thinking about what to say I didn't even see Ms. Martha come inside the class, along with...a new student?

"Brittany, you can pick any empty seat. The sitting arrangement here is free." Those are the only words I could hear from Ms. Martha. I look at the new girl and I could feel ny eyes go wide. She is very pretty. She had straight, short, blonde hair and I guess her height is same like mines.
