Hold Me Tight // h.s. [EDITING]

Three

Kacey's POV:

I plopped into the back row of my geography class, sighing. Today had been a long day, and I just had to make it through this last class before I got to go home. I surveyed the class and noticed that I knew pretty much no one is this class. This is gonna be a long year...

Mr. Williams walked in right after the bell ringed, which caused me to sit up a little straighter. He was a peculiar, small man with round glasses and a tuft of hair still left on his head. He looked so ancient...

"Alright you rowdies! Quite down before I have to grab my ruler!" He rasped while the whole class rolled their eyes and turned to face the front. He grabbed a wooden stool and sat his tiny figure down, preparing himself for his "first day" lecture.  I slid my phone under the desk and opened it up to see a text from Jenna.

J - You dead yet?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              K - Long past dead... 

J - Well, has Mr. Styles come around yet?

 K - Not yet :( 

It seemed like that was a cue of some sort, because the door creaked open while a tattooed arm pushed it way through. My eyes diverted from my phone and I knew who it was before his head even popped in. My heart paused until the loved mop of curls poked through.  He stumbled in with an attitude and his long legs while muttering a sorry. 

His eyes scanned the room for an open seat, and to my luck, there was a lonely spot smack dab right next to me. My breathing picked up while I realized that he was gonna sit next to me. 

"Well go on!" Mr. Williams commanded while Harry paced toward the open seat. He eyed me nervously and I couldn't read his expression. He almost looked intimidated...as if I were scaring him. The Harry I know was a badass guy that didn't give a shit about anything.

He sat down hesitantly and avoided my glance. I was worried if I had did something...but fuck, he was perfect. I couldn't stop staring at him, and I was scared that he was gonna suspect something if I didn't move my eyes soon.

He had that one thing, that one thing that blinded me from everything else but him. The thought of him, made me smile. And now, he was sitting next to me. What if I screwed up? What if he hates me?

Harry's POV:

Fuck, I thought to myself while I peered into the geography class. She was right there, sitting like a beautiful goddess that didn't know she was beautiful. So innocent, so pure, she made me love her even more. Her eyes, her pink lips, her perfect figure. 

I saw that the only open seat was next to Kacey, so I headed towards her, avoiding her eyes. Sitting down, my breathing pattern picked up and left me wondering why she got in this weak state. I tried to focus on Mr. Williams and his voice, but it was pretty hard. And it didn't help that he was talking about high expectations and all that shit. I'd never really cared about school, but now I had to step up my game if I wanted to impress Kacey. She was an honor roll student, and she gave importance to school. 

My ears perked up when Mr. Williams started talking about projects, "Our very first project will counted as a big part and I want  you to take high responsibility in this. This is the beginning of my impression on you, and I expect nothing but greatness." I bit my lip while noticing the tension in the room. This wasn't gonna turn out well... 

I turned over to look at Kacey when we shared an electric moment full of pure energy. Her emerald eyes met mine and forced me to gaze into them while trying not to look like a complete idiot. She peered back at me with an innocent face, and turned the corners of her pink lips into a small smile. God, she was so beautiful when she smiled, I thought. She opened her mouth to say something when Mr. Williams  interrupted the perfect moment.

"As I have done in the previous years, you will be working with the person sitting next to you. No complaining! No switching! Now don't be party poopers and go introduce yourself to your partner if you don't know them. We only have a couple minutes left, so don't get too rowdy." he finished while sighing and heading back to his little desk in the corner of the room. I brought my attention back to the beauty in front of me.

I cleared my throat and stuck my hand out in a friendly gesture, "Um, hi. I'm Harry," She gave me back her precious smile and showed me a hint of hesitation before returning the hand shake. Her eyes read I know, but she replied with, "I'm Kacey." 

Searching for something to start with I asked, "Um...do you have any ideas about this project?" while playing with one of the many rings on my fingers. I immediately mean rally face-palmed myself after saying that, that was a such a pathetic way to spark a conversation.

"Not really..." she trailed. I'm sure that she had something about this going on in her head. Why was she blanking out on me? Did I give a wrong impression or something? She fidgeted with her hands while not meeting my eyes. I prayed the bell would ring soon so I didn't have to stay in this awkward moment. 

As if the bell were hewaring me, it rang loud enough to make Kacey jump. She looked embarrassed with red cheeks and quickly grabbed her books and left the room, without another word to me. She started quickly typing away on her phone while trying to walk out of the door. This made her not realize that she was about to crash into Mr. Williams.

 A moment later, she was facing an angry old man.

"Teenagers these day..." he muttered while turning away.

She was flushed with embarrassment while she ran out of the door with the crowd of students, God, she was so adorable. I walked out the door with a huge grin while I met Niall in the hallway.

"Why the grin, mate?" he asked with his strong accent.

"All the love." I answered, which left him beyond utter confusion. I walked off feeling giddy...
