Boarding School

Chapter 9

Makenna's POV

Harry and I just walked out of my room.

"So are you excited for Christmas?" Harry asked.

"Yeah totally! it's going to be fun!"

Harry nodded and approached a black SUV, he opened the trunk and put our bags into it. We climbed into the car and a girl I assumed was his sister turned around from the passenger seat.

"Hi! I'm Gemma." she said sounding happy.

"Hi Gemma, I'm Makenna" I said giving her my best smile.

Another girl obviously his mother turned around. "Hi, I'm Harry's mother Anne" she said with a warm smile.

"Nice to meet you Anne" I said with another one of my best smiles.

I felt a bit awkward. the car began to move and we were finally starting to leave the school. I got comfy in my seat and another conversation broke out.

"So Harry," Anne started "how is school"

"Good" he said quickly.

I was looking out the window when my thoughts were interrupted.

"So Makenna, how do you like England?" Gemma asked.

"It's great, really different compared to the states but I like it here"

Everyone nodded. Anne, Gemma, and Harry got into a conversation about school. I decided to take my phone out and listen to some Blink 182.

After what felt like an eternity we finally pulled into a small neighborhood. there were small red houses lined Alin the streets. We pulled into the house on the right. The outside of it had nice green grass, there were a few trees around that really pulled the exterior together.

We got out of the car, my legs felt a little stuff from sitting for longer than usual. I walked to the back of the car to get my stuff, I was so busy looking around I bumped into Harry.

"Too busy looking around?" he said with a cheeky smile.

I just blushed a bit and grabbed my bag. Harry shut the door and led me towards the house.

"It's a bit colder here than it is at school" I said.

Harry just giggled.

"What's so funny Styles?" I said with a pouty face.

"Nothing. Nothing."

He opened the door and we headed into the warmth. The inside had a nice home feel to it, the walls were a warm cream color. there were cute decorations spread all over. There was a hallway with a few closed doors that were the bedrooms. The living room had a nice flat screen, a huge couch and a very decorative Christmas tree.

We walked to the kitchen that had granite counters and brown cupboards. Harry sat down at the island, I followed him and sat down. His mom handed us some cookies before she started talking.

"So kids, tonight we're having a Christmas party. it's all of our close family friends, we're going to go ice skating and I told Lux that you were going to be there. You should have seen how happy she got." Anne said.

I looked over at Harry and he was grinning from ear to ear at the mention of this Lux girl. "Ok" he simply said.

There was a sound of a door opening and closing. not too long after a man walked into the kitchen, he looked at me and Harry wide eyed.

"Hi, I'm Harry's stepfather Robbin" he said.

"Hi, I'm Makenna" I said shaking his hand.

"Come on Makenna, I will show you where you will be sleeping." Harry said.

I got up from my spot and followed Harry. I heard something that caught my attention.

"Harry actually brought a girl home. This is amazing!" his dad said causing me to laugh.

"I think she heard" Anne said causing me to laugh even more.

A blushing Harry came up and pulled me down the hallway.

****
"But haaarrryyy I can't ice skate" I said clutching the side of the rink for my dear life.

"Then let me help you" Harry said trying to hold back hysterical laughing.

"NO!"

"I won't let you fall" he said. I looked into his green eyes, I could tell he meant it.

I let go I the walk and he grabbed my hand tightly, he squeezed my hand reassuring me. We started slow until I got the hang of it.

"So what do you think of the Christmas party" he asked.

"It's fun, everyone is nice" I said earning a dimpled smile from the curly haired boy.

We were skating and talking, something happened making Harry fall dragging me down with him.

"Oww" I said trying to stand back up.

"Sorry about that" Harry said.

At that moment we both were in a laughing fit. Finally when we stopped we heard a little voice calling Harry's name.

We kept looking for the source of the voice then Harry finally found it. we headed toward a little blonde girl who looked about two.

"Hi harry!" she said excitedly.

"Hey lux! what are you doing?" he said in a gentle tone.

"Can I come wif you?" she said stretching her arms out towards Harry.

Harry looked at the woman who was holding her. "Can I take her out on the ice, lou?"

"Yeah, just careful guys" she said.

Harry let go of my hand and reached across for the girl lifting her over the barrier. once he set her down he got down to her size motioning for me to do the same.

"Lux this is my friend Makenna, you need to hold our hands at all times. Ok?"

"OK!" she said grabbing our hands.

"Harry?" she said quietly "is she your girlfwiend?" she asked looking at me.

There was a look if shock and sadness washed over his face. "No Lux"

We started skating with a little giggly Lux who kept slipping. But after witnessing what just happened I realized.

I want us to be more than friends.
