How Dare You Call Me Romeo (Harry Styles AU)

Nine

I met up with Angeline after classes were let out. "Am I going to have to keep an eye out for any murderous wrestling losers?" I asked skeptically.

"Niall? I don't think so. I gave him the slip this morning. He didn't look happy but I don't think he'll try again today. When his ego is bruised it takes longer for him to recover. It happens when your ego is too big for you."

She was acting cool and throwing comments but I could see the hurt in her eyes. I wish she would stop trying to so hard to keep her feelings in check. Maybe what she really needed was a long hard cry to get her mind off Niall. That was always the problem with her though, knocking some sense into that too think skull of hers.

I sighed and followed her back to our room. Maybe Niall was off her case right now but what about tomorrow? Tomorrow. I never thought I'd be so eager to get out of going for food. Harry had called it a date but it wasn't, couldn't be. The only date he would ever get with me would be if he won, if. I didn't plan on losing though.

"Harry asked me to go to dinner with him tomorrow night." I blurted before I could stop myself.

Angeline stopped in her tracks, "You said no right? After all you did just stand here a few days ago and tell me how much of a dead beat jerk he was."

I bit my bottom lip nervously trying to decide whether or not to tell her the truth. Sh didn't know about the bet yet and that was probably the only reason I was alive.

"Oh my god you told him yes! Are you sure you're Kendall because you sure aren't acting like it." she gasped.

"Look, Friday Harry talked to me in Mr. Jacobs class and tried to hit on me. I turned him down. That opened the gates for questions. Why didn't I like him? Why did I say no? I explained my hatred for players and he went on the defensive. He made a bet with me that he had one month to show me that my opinion was wrong.

"I wouldn't have agreed but you planted that idea that I could like him in my mind and I said yes. I had to have gone insane for a while. Ever since I've been avoiding him. I keep feeling happy and nauseous when he's near. Not bad nauseous though. Its that like fuzzy feeling you get in your stomach. I promised myself that I would never fall for a player again." I grabbed into her coat and shook her, probably looking like a crazed mad man.

"I need advice and help on what to do. Please! Help me!" I couldn't help but plead.

"I'm not sure I can help you out of this one. If you go against your word you'll be labeled as an outcast and a liar. If Harry wins though you'll just be seen as a new conquest for him and be a laughing stock." she says bluntly.

"Don't sugar coat it for me, give it to me straight." I said sarcastically.

She just shrugged, "You wanted an answer. I was never one to lie or make things seem better than they are. You're in deep and you better be ready, whatever the outcome may be."

"Yeah, because you're such an expert on love."

"How many times have I given you correct advice with a guy and you refuse to follow it? All those times I got to tell you, I told you so." she raised her eyebrows daring me to refute her.

She was right but I didn't care. She already had a big enough ego already that she didn't need any more reason to be big headed.

I thought back to the times she had given me advice. "Don't try to skate on that ice. It's not think enough." I had tried anyways, and had fallen through.

"Don't fall for that guy Ken he's bad news and will only hurt you." Me and him had ended up dating for nearly a year. Then he had dumped me when Kristy Wells was free.
