The Days Will Last: One Direction

Chapter 45

On the way to school, Sarah and I didn’t really get a chance to talk.

She was sitting on the backseat with Niall and Mia. Sarah was on the right side, behind me.

I saw from the cab mirror how Sarah kept on opening her purse, secretly taking out her mirror and checking whether she looked fine.

She was flawless.

When we reached the school, Niall quickly got of the cab and opened the door for Mia. I saw Sarah smile. As the door was already open I reached out my hand, Sarah looked up at me and then kept her left hand on my right hand. We were about to walk to forward when I stopped her. She looked at me in confusion. I took out a corsage form my left breast pocket and put it around Sarah’s wrist. It had white flowers, matching what she was wearing. She admired them, looked up, smiled through those perfectly formed pink delicate lips and put her elbow around mine.

We went inside the hall. Every girl in the room was looking pretty. I had the star of the show, though, I thought.

I saw everyone’s head turning towards the four of us when we entered inside the hall. It was very weird for me as a year back no one even cared about me and now everyone was looking at me- well, if not at me at least at my date and her best friend and his date.

I still can’t believe how much Eleanor changed me. So the makeover worked. I was the same from inside and yet, completely different on the outside.

Anyway, all of us headed towards a table.

The DJ came up and he played the first song of the evening. It was ‘Crush’ by DavidArchuleta.

I could relate so much to this song.

“Want to dance?” I asked Sarah as Niall and Mia headed towards the dance floor.

She nodded her head slightly. I stood up, mesmerized.

I put my hand on her waist, she put her hand on my shoulder, and the rest became the best thing that ever happened to me. We were close, her body moulded perfectly into mine. We were designed for each other.

All I remember then, was looking into those hazel eyes and she looking into mine- we didn’t whisper a thing for the rest 3 hours.

Yes, we danced continuously for 3 hours. The time flew quickly. I don’t even remember the songs DJ played after ‘Crush’.

We stopped dancing at the time when Niall and Mia came to us and told us to have some food.

“God, you guys are inseparable.” Mia whispered to me.

“Ha.” I did not realize I was blushing, apparently, a lot.

After having dinner, Sarah came to me, held my hand and said “Come on.” And involuntarily I let her pull me, wherever were going.

We were in the school grounds.

“What are we doing here? I asked.

She went behind the benches and said “Come fast,”

“What is it?” I asked.

“Read this.”

She pointed towards something that was written on the bench.

“Niall’s wish (8th grade): Make Holly happy. Sarah-“

“Ssshhh... Just keep on reading!”

“Sarah’s wish (8th grade): Find someone special.”

Oh. OH!

“Niall and I on every first day of the new session till 8th grade used to come here and write our wish for the new session.”

“Oh... that’s nice!”

“Hmm, we left doing it after that as we found it really stupid.”

“Haha. But why did you bring me here?” I thought of the possibility of what I’ve been thinking for over a month now. I let myself stop after a hundred ideas went through my mind.

“Well-” sneeze

 I took my coat off and placed it on her shoulders.

“Sarah, wear this. It’s really cold out here.”

“Thank you. So, ya, umm.. I wrote it in 8th grade, and now we are in 11th grade”

“Hmm...”

“My wish finally came true after 3 years.”

Huh? Oh. What? Yes.

“I think I found my ‘someone special’. I don’t know about you Harry but I’ve fallen pretty badly for you.”

Just what my ears wanted to hear.

“Sar-”

“Harry, I would completely understand if you didn’t-”

“I LOVE YOU.” I said closing my eyes.

I opened them slowly and Sarah had tears in her eyes- tears of joy!

“I love you too, HarryScott.”

She got up on her toes and there it was our first kiss, my first kiss, her first kiss. My lips brushed against her lips smoothly and I relished the sweet taste of her warm mouth. I could kiss her forever. And that forever won’t be ever enough.

 She pulled away but still close, asked me.

“Harry, do you believe in fate?”.

“Um, what do you mean?”

“I mean, do you think something called as ‘fate’ exists?”

“Well, you and I are together right now. Universe has got to do with something with this. So, yeah, I do.”

Before Sarah could reply my phone vibrated.

Niall CALLING

“Niall,” I said.

“Hi, come fast. Mia’s mom is here. She’ll drop you first.”

“We’ll be there soon.”
