Babysitting for Styles

Chapter 6

*SOPHIE'S POV (THE NEXT MORNING)*

I streched in bed making baby dinosaur noises after pressing SNOOZE on my alarm clock. I lie in bed and stare at the time. 6:30. Why do I have to wake up so early to go to school when my brother gets to wake up whenever he wants to be homeschooled? At least I'll have friends at school.

I finally get up and go to bathroom to brush my teeth. I try to comb my hair, but the knots are unbearable. I use hair spray to comb everything out straight, and then go back to my room, and try to figure out what I'm going to wear. 

After about ten minutes of taking out clothes and putting them back in, I finally decide on wearing a baggy gray shirt, a pink infinity scarf, leggings and pink uggs to match. 

I fix my hair one more time, and apply the tiniest bit of makeup to my eyes and lips and head downstairs.

My mom and brother are still sleeping so I had to make breakfast myself. I didn't want to cook this early in the morning, so I decided to have cereal instead. I take out a box of Lucky Charms and some milk.

I hear the bus outside as I am putting on my coat since it's January, and leave. I still didn't get my driver's licence and I'm 19. And yes, if you did the math, I got held back once, but that was in second grade. College is next year and I have to get ready. 

*ON THE BUS*

I don't know anyone on the bus, so I just sit on the front seat alone, and take out my phone. I see a text from Harry. I smile, not knowing, that when I make friends, how I will be able to keep this a secret from them, that I'm friends with Harry Styles, and that I babysit his brother and sister.

H: Morning cutie <3

S: Morning <3

H: Whatcha doin?

S: On the bus. School today :(

H: Aren't you 19?

S: I'm in 12th grade. I got held back in 2nd

H: I see, good luck :)

S: Thanks, the bus is almost near school so I gtg. TTYL

H: Bye Soph <3 Expect a surprise :)

What surprise? What was Harry talking about? Walking out of the bus, I see the school, all the teenagers walking around...kissing...hugging. I sent my mom a quick text telling her I'm in school, and go to the Guidance Office when I'm inside.

"Good morning sweety. Who are you?" the guidance councelor asked me. She had an empty expression on her face, but still was able to smile at me when I came in.

"I'm Sophie Ann Conner. Today is my first day. I moved here from New York. Mr. White said that you would have the schedule for me."

"Jake Aaron, Sonia Bun, Sophie Conner! Oh here you are. As you see, I'm a but of a mess with all this paperwork."

"Thank you. I should be going to my class now."

"Before you go Sophie, there is one more thing. I was told that it might be good if you get a buddy to help you walk around the school, get to your classes, anf just get used to this school for the first few days."

"Who is the buddy?"

"You'll see right now." 

The guidance councelor left the room, and a minute later, came in my buddy. I almost died when I saw him. It was Harry!

"Harry! Get out of here! You're gonna get caught. You shouldn't be in the school during class hours."

"Soph...I'm your buddy!" he says happily and comes up to hug me.

I hug him back, and for the first time notice, it real life, his beautiful green and yellow eyes, as we stare at each other for a quick second. But that second felt like an hour. He smirked, having his dimples shown, and I smiled. I couldn't stop smiling.
