Five Love Stories

Stop staring!

A curly haired boy with tattoos all over his arms, sat at the table with Niall and drank a cup of coffee.

"Kathleen, this is Harry! Harry, this is Kathleen."

Honestly, I thought it was really sweet that Niall remembered my name, even though it wasn't that long I told him. But still, my name was a little complicated. Harry had been looking at another direction, but when Niall mentioned Harrys name, he turned towards me, and if I wasn't wrong, his jaw actually dropped. He checked my whole body and his mouth went kind of "O". When he took eyecontact with me, I could see that he had green, glistening eyes, and a big smirk on his pink lips.

"Hi, babe." He said while shaking my hand.

"Hi, Harry." I said polite.

For a few seconds, it was a bit awkward around the small table. Harry was still checking me out, I could tell, even though I wasn't paying my attention at him. When Niall finally broke the silence, I couldn't be any happier.

"So, Kathleen. There's this party, or whatever it is, tonight.." He started. "It's a tradition, actually, so most of the students like to go there and inaugurate this.. new chapter in life!"

New chapter in life, that's exactly what my mom had said the other day. Without even noticing, I started thinking about her and my family, and my face turned a little sad.

"Are you okay?" Niall spoke.

"O-of course, I just.."

I decided not to talk about it, it would sound childish.

"..Nothing. What about this party?"

"Do you wanna go? Maybe with me and Harry?"

Harry smiled and put his cup down.

"You don't wanna miss it." He grinned.

"And I could introduce you to more people, my friends and stuff." Niall suggested.

Should I?..

What the hell. Why not, I thought.

"Sure, okay. I'll be there."

"Great!" Niall said happy and ate some pasta.

"And one more thing, it's outside. At a camp fire, sort of." Harry said.

Intresting, I thought. Maybe this was a good idea. All of the sudden, I couldn't hold myself anymore.

"Niall, where are you from? Because whatever you're speaking, it's not with an english accent." I stated.

Harry laughed, Niall smiled.

"Is it that obvious?" He laughed. "I'm irish."

Of course! I thought. Harry, on the other hand, had a thick, english accent, and a very raspy and dark voice. In a disturbing way, it was kind of sexy.

"I gotta go. But see you guys tonight!" I said and drank the last of my Starbucks.

Niall waved and smiled his cute, apparently Irish smile. It was actually adorable. And Harry kept his dark gaze on my body, my outfit and on my face. I turned around when he shouted:

"Hey, Kathleen! 6pm, at the camp fire, okay?"

"I'll find my way there. See ya!"

I actually found my way up to the dormitory, too. I opened the door, using the key. I got in, and saw my roommate. The last time I left the room, I was the only one who had decorated it, but now, it was more colours and more spontaneously, and only her hair lightned up the room.

"Wow.. It is.. Really nice!" I honestly said.

She looked at me, and then at her computer again.

"Did you know that we had a kitchen a bit further that hallway outside?" She asked without letting her stare of the computer.

No, I didn't know that. I wanted to know where it was, but somehow, she seemed too scary for me to ask.

"Yeah, I knew that. But I ate in the cafeteria." I said, hoping I didn't sound like a dumbass.

"Cool." She simpy said.

I slowly walked to the wardrobe, and started picking out an outfit to wear tonight.

"Do you want to come to a party tonight? Almost everyone is goi-"

"No thanks." She interrupted me. "I'm staying home."

Finally, I had found the perfect outfit, the perfect eye makeup and straightened my hair perfectly. It really took me a while, so I was litterally done in exact time. The clock showed 5:47pm.

"Are you sure that you don't wanna come with me?" I asked my roommate.

"When I look like this? Forget it. I don't like parties anyway. Besides.. I don't even know your name, so what makes you think I would go and party with you?" She laughed.

I took in everything she said, nodded quietly and walked to the door.

"I'm Kathleen." I spoke before I was about to close the door. "But you can call me Kath."
