Chapter 9

CATHERINE’S POV

            It was now the week before summer break, which meant exams. I spent all of last week studying, as well as this weekend. I’ve talked to Harry, but it’s been brief because he’s back to touring. Nothing much has happened with anything. Tomorrow is my English exam, which I was dreading. How am I supposed to memorize over one hundred terms and remember stories from the beginning of the year? We had off today, Monday, as an extra study day. Exams were Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and then it was officially time for break.

HARRY’S POV

            “So, have you talked to her more? You haven’t been seen with her lately. You need to work on that,” said Karen.

            “That’s kind of hard to do when she’s on the other side of the country.”

            “She should be out of school soon, right?” Karen asked checking her phone and adding things to her calendar app.

            “Yeah, this week she has exams and that’s it.”

            “Well then next week we will fly her out along with her friends and family.”

            “She can’t just drop her life, Karen!” I said getting pissed at this publicity shit.

            “For you she would.”

            “And how’s that?”

            “She clearly likes you, Harry. Let’s not forget, she’s a fan. How cool is it for her to say that she’s dating and hanging out with Harry Styles? It’s as much of a benefit for her to be with you as it is for you to be seen with her.”

            “Whatever.”

            “You almost sound like you care about her,” she said sharply.

            “Now I know you’re joking,” I lied. Of course I fucking care about her.

            “That’s what I thought. Now go get ready. You have a meet and greet in an hour.”

            I rolled out of bed and took a shower, not bothering to dry my hair. Lou would be here any minute to style it the way that only she could. I threw on a white button up shirt, leaving the first few buttons undone. I slid my black jeans on and my boots, and waited for Lou to arrive. While waiting, I texted Catherine.

            “Hey, how are you? x”

            “I’m good, a little stressed L” she replied.

            “I hope you do well on your exams J”

            “Thanks. How’s tour?”

            “It’s okay. Karen was saying that –“ and that’s when Lou waltzed in through the door. I backspaced what I was going to say and told her that I had to go.
