The 'Regular' High-Schoolers

Reconciliation... (Will it last?)

"These boys are just like you only a lot more famous!" Said Mrs. Derby with an annoying chuckle."They need normal schooling and proper training before they're out to smash it in the big,wide world." She continued clearly too excited. Her speech ended on a shrill note as if she were practicing opera.
" As for Mr.Harry I'll see what bothered him to an extent that he had to run away!" She finished in her usual stern voice with the scary British purr. "Now disperse! I shall meet the boys in my office" her eyes grew wide as she added"including Mr.Styles."

Harry was trying to cut through the crowd but,the number of fans retarded his pace. The word fan rang a bell. He was truly famous now!

concentrate!

He was running when the students were starting to literally pull him.

He grew irritated and swatted through them .Liz was out of sight by the time Harry could move out. He gazed in the distance but couldn't see her.

Liz!

Running around hysterically he shouted out her name eliciting no response. He spent ten minutes running around the campus looking for her.
Why couldn't I have just ....? Gahhhh!

He sat down leaning on a thick a tree trunk when he noticed thick dark clouds forming in the sky. It was slowly covering the sun. Trees swayed wildly and dusty wind started to blow with an immense velocity. The surroundings turned grey and everything felt even more sad. He had his share of blues quite regularly. Harry felt so....shameful. Why couldn't he be a better boyfriend? He could have at least informed her. Why didn't he? Oh! Tears escaped his eyes and he shut them close. The weight was crushing him. He really loved Liz. They were similar in many ways. More than anyone could imagine. They loved each other. It should have been a time for celebration , it would've been too had he just been able to talk to her. Harry totally got why Liz was mad. She was lonely and just when was getting over her pain , he had to come! He wanted to slap the shit out of him.

If only I had more words to explain his pain and sadness and remorse , I would...

He tilted his head back and ....cried and hoped no one saw him. Tears rolled out of his closed eyes and zig-zagged over his face like a river moving over a vast terrain and slid steathly across his nose to the the other cheek. Efforts to stop himself formed deep dimples on his cheeks and he...broke. Only making no sound. Cold drops of water fell on his face and he shot his eyes open. The tears blurred his vision but, a thought struck him. Harry wiped his face,got up resolved and straightened his clothes. His eyes were bloodshot and nose red. For a moment he seemed lost but,quickly regained. He stared at the rain which was now wild. All around him there was water. He turned around and remembered.

It's the damn tree.

That was where they had had their first kiss a few months ago.
That was the best day of his life!

I'm sorry Liz! I really am!

If only he could talk to her.. And that's when it occurred to him!
In the rain Harry ran around the tree to the back of the school. In the Parking lot...

He remembered how they had once decided the spot behind the red-truck as 'their' place. He stealthily tiptoed to the car but, his shoes squeaked in the rain. Not a good time for funny noises!
He peeped behind the truck and it felt as though he could collapse. Liz was there... Sitting against the truck , her hair and clothes drained in water..
Liz hadn't noticed until he stood just before her. She could see his Converse sneakers smeared with mud. Harry didn't like his sneakers dirty! Liz pushed her red hair back and looked up.

She had been crying ,though the rain didn't show it but,Harry knew better . Her nose and eyes too were red only a lot worse.

Harry sat down and held her hands.

"Took you so long, Harry? "She half cried, half whispered. It felt as though she said his name to torment him.

Harry bent forward and hugged Liz. She didn't respond initially but deep down she knew that she wanted to feel him too. She hugged him back real tight. Tears rolled down their cheeks . But,they were finally happy. They parted and Harry pulled her up only to hug her again. This time he gave her a bear hug. Liz pushed him away and scowled but, finally crashed her lips against his. They closed their eyes and kissed,in the rain. Harry's mouth tasted liked bubble gum. It finally felt so good to hug him and kiss him.

Missed you,idiot!

The rain kept pouring and they kept kissing. They were drenched.

Suddenly, they heard shutterbugs.

Crap! Paparrazi! Things could only get worse now.

And they parted staring wide eyed at the dimwits across the fence.
