Nerd || H.S

Chapter 17

We kissed. It actually happened for real this time, nothing was forced and it was amazing. My whole stomach fluttered as if there were a thousand butterflies taking place inside and I was sure that my face turned so hot and my cheeks flushed a bright shade of red as we did so, but I was positively speechless afterwards.

I have no idea as to what our relationship status would be labelled as, but I definitely like where it's heading.

I arrived back at my house shortly after our show of affection to find Reece sprawled out on my couch surrounded by empty snack wrappers, jealous at the fact she could literally eat anything and not gain a single pound.

After entering my living room and smiling at the sight of Reece messily lying on the sofa with the bottom of her phone pressed to her chest as she browsed whatever her finger was visibly scrolling through, I spoke up.

"Reece... Would you mind?" I said as Harry appeared behind me in the doorway. "Oh... Yeah, of course." She voiced as she got up and grabbed whatever belongings she had with her and left the room. Not before stopping her strides next to me and lightly nudging me in the arm, clicking her teeth and raising her eyebrows at me.

I rolled my eyes at her and giggled, "I'll see you later, Reece." I smiled to myself as I told her. "You have fun now, kids." Her voice became quieter the further she strolled away from us and then hearing the front door shut.

"Do you want anything?" I asked as Harry and I continued into the living room, turning to him as I felt his eyes on me. "I want you." He mumbled as I couldn't make out his softly spoken words. "Huh?" I questioned and chuckled slightly.

"Oh nothing haha, I'm fine thanks." Harry spoke as I turned from him and strolled into the kitchen, smiling at the thought of Harry, something I always found myself doing. Who knew someone could be so cute and hot at the same time?

Maybe it was the mystery behind his captivating green eyes and the deep dimples in his cheeks that made the perfect mix of sexy and adorable.

I grabbed a handful of berries from the fridge and popped them into my mouth, one hand struggling to grasp two bottles of fresh water also from the inside of the refrigerator door as I swing the door shut.

I walked over to where Harry was already perched and sat next to him on the sofa, placing the two water bottles for the both of us onto the long coffee table. "Just in case." I voice as I place his water in front of him.

He smiled at me as I twisted open the cap and took a large gulp of the cold beverage. The atmosphere around us was calm and relaxed, not awkward like some may feel after their first actual kiss together, I felt comfortable around Harry no matter the circumstance.

Placing the cap back onto the bottle, I swallowed the water which was now sat in my mouth and spoke up. "So what's this whole nerd thing about?" Harry chuckled lightly and grabbed the band from around his wrist, taking his locks into his large hands and forming a bun with his curls.

"Long story..." Harry replied, slightly smiling at me. "I have plenty of time." I suggested as Harry agreed to tell me the whole scenario.

"I got bullied at my first school by the typical assholes so I was kinda forced to move..." Harry looked down at his hands and then back up to me, placing his elbow onto his knee and leaning forward a little.

"When I moved, I didn't want to be everyone's target again so I wanted to become the guy that people feared to even look at. I became the bully."

I listened intently at Harry's story as I flung my legs onto the sofa and crossed them, facing him directly as he placed his hand over his chin in thought.
