How I Met You...My Love

1.4: I want her

CHAPTER ONE:
One of the ways to know if you love that person or not, is if you feel a little bit of concern about them in your heart. That will make you notice that you care for them.

Daphne is a smart, honest and a kind girl. She also loves reading. She's rich but doesn't use her money that much. She loves reading, but she's not a nerd.she loves enjoying herself, but she doesn't party too much. You can say that she's an average girl who likes to take life in her own way.

Daphne's pov:
I woke up by the sound of the tv. I looked at the clock on the wall. It's 5.30 am. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. All of my friends are cuddled up beside me. I chuckled by the sight of their hilarious sleeping faces. I crept to my room to wash my face and do a little studying. At approximately 6.30 am, I went to woke up my friends. "You're up early, Daphne" said Jade with a drowsy face. "Haha. Well, you need to wake up early to see your crush, Jade" I winked at her. Immediately she sprang from the floor and went to her room to dress up. I giggled at the sight of her. Jade just got herself a crush, which made her more spritely to go to school. He's from the football team. He's kind of hot but he's not my taste.

After I took a bath, I went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When I finished, it was already 7.25 am. School starts at 8.00 am, so I rushed to my room and grabbed my bag. "Bye, guys! I'll be going ahead! Need to go to finish up my assignment!" I shouted. "Bye Daphne!" They shouted together. I giggled and went out.

I arrived at school at about 7.30 am. I headed towards my locker to grab some things when somebody bumped into me. I turned to see Henry, a badboy at this school. I don't really like hanging out with this kind of person. "Sorry, babe. Didn't see you there" he said with a wink. "No biggie" I simply said.

As I was about to head to the library, one of his friends grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, "hey, don't go now. Hang out with us. You're kinda cute" clearly he wanted to flirt with me. Oh, god. I have no time for this!

Henry's pov:
As I was hanging out with my friends, I accidentally bumped into someone. I turned around to see it was daphne. To be honest, I've always wanna try and talk to her. I know, weird right. A badboy like me would want to talk to a goody goody girl like her.

I don't know why I had that craving to get to know her. Well, for me, she looks cute when she reads, or when she smiles and not to mention her laughs, damn.but no one would notice a girl like her because she usually shows her true self to her friends. I've always wanted for her to talk to me just like the way she talks to her friends.

"Sorry babe, didn't see you there" I winked. What the fudge man!? Babe? Wink?to a girl like her!? "No biggie" she answered, simply. Fewh!

Suddenly one of my friends grabbed her arm, "hey, don't go now. Hang out with us. You're kinda cute" I flinched when I heard Shawn(my friend) called her cute. I grabbed his arm that was grabbing her arm, "I'm sure she's quite busy, right Daphne?" I signalled her to play along. Fortunately she understood,

"right. I'm on my way to the library to finish up my assignment. You know mrs. Pereira with her history and all.  Then I gotta clean up the classroom. As the early birds, it's our duty to clean the classroom before class starts. And then--"  "okay okay I get it. So you're that kind of person" shawn cutted in, muttering with a disgust face.

I slightly felt anger for making a disgust face at her but I also felt happy and relieved."I'm glad you noticed. So if you'll excuse me" she smiled and pulled her arm away from shawn's grasp.

I saw her go to the library, So I  sneaked in and spotted her at one of the bookshelves finding a book. Then I watched her as she sat at a table and begin studying. I decided to approach her so I sat next to her."eh-hemm" I started.

She glanced at me and smiled, "hi" she said, "hey" I answered. Yes!!  "So uh...what subject are you studying about?" I asked her. "Bio" she simply answered. "I thought you were finishing your history  project" I asked, "well, that was just a distraction. If I told your friends that I came here just to fill my time by reading then they would definitely push me to go with them" she answered. I just agreed with what she just said."oh, ok. Anyway, bio is boring. Why bio anyway?" I asked her.

She turned to me and smirked. Damn, that smirk. "It wouldn't be boring if you're interested in it" she chuckled. "So you're interested in it?" I asked her "of course! Don't you? Oh, wait. I forgot. Badboy" she said and then a smirk grew on her face. Inside of me, I frowned. She thinks of me as a badboy. Not that i'm not. It's just. Painful to be thought of a badboy in her eyes.

"Well, maybe if you could teach me, I probably could become interested in it" I suggested to her. "Yeah, maybe you will" she smiled at me. She started gazing into my eyes and I started to gaze into hers.

"Hey, what class are you in?" I asked, still gazing into her eyes. "Well. It's on the third floor?" She joked. Then she suddenly chuckled. It was so cute "tell me"I started to get serious. "okay, okay. Our homeroom teacher is mr. Hank. You'll find out right?" She smirked. I never knew she was sneaky. "Well. Gotta go. Class is starting. bye, Henry. Nice meeting you" she said, with a smile. "Bye" her smile is just so cute. I've decided...I want her. Then I ran out of the library and searched for her.

Daphne's pov:
Wow. Henry's not so bad after all. I mean, he seems naughty, but he's kind. And I could see that he was sincere, getting to know me. Heh, maybe I should tutor him in biology (giggle).

As I was on my way to my first class, someone grabbed me by the arm. I turned around to see Henry, "what's wrong? Were you running? You're out of breath-" "I want you, daphne" he blurted out, "what!? What're you talking about?" "I want you to be mine and only mine. Please go out with me" I stood there frozen by his speech.

"Look Henry, maybe you got confused by your feelings. Maybe you got confused between like and love? So don't easily confess to someone when you're not sure. Anyway, I don't really want to have a relaltionship with anybody. I just want to focus on my studies. But we can be friends!" I tried to explain to him.

"I don't want to be friends. I want to be more than friends" "Henry—"  "Whatever. Well you heard me, I'm still gonna aim for you. So you better be—" I couldn't take it anymore.

"stop! I really am not interested in things like this. Please.don't push me" I said, "I'm not pushing, I'm persuading" he denied. I crossed my arms and looked away. "Okay, okay. We'll start as friends. But I promise you, we will not end as friends. Alright?" Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat. "Up to you, Henry" I finished. I really can't take love talks like this and since then, he comes to the library everyday and talk to me. I'm not really sure of his motive in doing that.

Henry's pov:
Everyday I go to the library to meet her. But why? I mean, of course I want her to be mine, but usually girls would come to me, not the other way around. Why do I feel like she's a magnet to me that I can't part away?
