Summer Love

Chapter 3

~Emma's POV~

We split up on teams. Since Im the soccer player, Im by myself against Mikey and Harry who are on a team together. I let them have the ball first. They kick off, and I run forward. Harry has the ball. I kick it away from him, and he chases me trying to catch up. I dribble the ball and score a goal between the two trees at the end of the field. We set up again. Harry gets the ball again. I run towards him and take the ball. He chases after me, and ends up wrapping his arms around me so I cant run anymore. Mikey runs up and takes the ball that has stopped rolling. Harry still holds me so I cant play defense. I try to get away, But Im laughing too hard. And hes a lot stronger than me. I watch as Mikey dribbles straight to the goal and he scores. Harry lets go and laughs in my face. I shrug it off and get ready to start again.

We play soccer for hours. The sun begins to fade away. We are playing when my sister comes outside and announces, "Time for dinner."

I leave the soccerball and follow my sister inside with Harry and Mikey at my heels. Me and my sister get in line to get food, but I see Harry and Mikey walk over to a group of people. They start talking. Must be friends they met last year at camp, I think. I see a beautiful girl in the group. She hugs Harry, and stands close to him. They must be super close. They look happy together. I look at Harry and think of how grateful I am to have made a friend already! Hes really nice, I think. I turn back and put food on my plate. My sister and I go to a table and sit down and we start eating. As we eat, a chair next to me is slid out and Harry sits down and Mikey takes the seat next to him. I furrow my eyebrows because I thought they would have sat with that girl and those other people they were talking to.

"So uh, who were those people?" I ask, my shyness coming through.

"Just some friends I made last year."

"W who was that girl? I th think she likes you." I didnt know why I was all of a sudden nervous.

"Oh. Shes my ex....." I decide to leave it at that. I felt awkward talking to him about his ex. So I just dont say anything more.

The rest of dinner is pretty quiet. Nobody talks except for my sister and Mikey who occasionally ask each other questions. Its extremely awkward. I keep feeling myself look at Harry. I know I shouldnt though. I could see the way he looked at his ex.... there was still feelings there, I could tell.

A lady who works at camp comes in the cafeteria and starts to announce something. She says where the girls will take showers and sleep and where the guys will take showers and sleep. She asks us to split up and get ready to separate. I stand up and throw away my plate. Harry stands up too.

"Im glad I met you." Harry says. "Goodnight." He adds on. Then he does something I would never expect... He hugs me. His arms are around my waist and I hesitate before I wrap my arms around his neck. I think he only hugs me because we are friends, not because of anything else. But Im not sure. Im not very good at reading people, especially guys. I shrug it off and tell myself that he huged me just because were friends. Harry smiles and walks away.

We all take showers and set up mats on the floor to sleep on. To the side of me, there is a huge window where you can see into the room that the guys are sleeping in. Me and my sister lay down and start to talk. I keep glancing at the window. Through it, in the darkness, I see Harry starting to walk close to the window with Mikey. They put down their mats, and Mikey lays down. Harry is still standing. He takes off his shirt, and He is only in his long pajama pants. I see his v line and abs. Harry lays down next to Mikey. Harry is really attractive.

Wait, what am I saying. I cant like him. Im just the awkward girl from Colorado. I cant like him....
