The bell rang ending the period. Harry had lunch next. He grabbed his books off the desk leaving the class.
Harry hasn't talked to his friends since yesterday. They tried to tell Harry they were just messing with him but he wouldn't listen.
"Harry!" An old friend of his called out. "Hey Luke! What's up?" They man hugged. "I was thinking about going going to the new pizza place on Central. Wanted to come?" Harry invited Luke to lunch.
Luke smiled,"Yeah, that place looks good! Let me drop my books off at my locker." He walked off and Harry grabbed the note from under his books.
"Note nine? Fuck, I don't have much time." Harry whispered to himself. He was getting concerned. What if he didn't find out who she was? How will be able to live with himself? The answer is easy; he won't.
Harry slowly opened the envelope, scared to even the out the letter and that he won't be fast enough or smart enough to find her. He would be a fail her and himself, he couldn't let that happen.
"Hey, I'm ready!" Luke appeared next to Harry. "What's that? A letter from your secret lover?" Luke teased. Harry nervously chuckled,"It's nothing don't worry about it."
Luke rolled his eyes,"Come on man, just let me see it." Luke attempted to grab the letter from Harry but was unsuccessful. "Respect my privacy mate, will ya?! That's why I'm pissed at all the boys. This is personal alright?" Luke took a step back,"Sorry mate, didn't realize you became sensitive."
Harry rolled his eyes,"Y'know what, I'm not in the mood for pizza. Why don't you tell me how it was, yeah?"
He walked off to the school library. It was empty except for one table where a girl sat by herself. Harry decided to go and sit with the girl who was reading 'The Lightning Thief' by Rick Riordan. "That's a good book you got there. Is it your first time reading it?"
The girl looked up from the book and lightly smiled. "Nope, I'm trying to reread the series. I love it so much." Harry smiles back at the girl who seemed familiar. "May I?" He pointed at the seat. "Please." The girls smiled became wider and warmer.
"So, I'm Harry and you are?" "Layla." The girl stuck her hand out for a hand shake. "That's a beautiful name." Harry shook Layla's hand. Harry might have just met the girl but he feels like he's known her his life. The two sat talking the whole period.
"Well Layla, I hope to see you around." Harry smiled, giving his new friend a hug. "As to you Styles." Harry raised his eyebrow,"Oh so we are on last names now, Matthews?" Harry smirked.
Layla happily smiled walking out of the library,not saying a word.
