[9] "Is it any good?"

dedicated to Styles_Tomlinson_123 'cause her fanfic Flower Crowns vs. Tattoos is really amazing and unique!

Harry’s P.O.V

It was now 6 days later since I gave Mr. Tomlinson his watch back, and so far I hadn’t made a new move on him. At the moment I sat in Mr. Harris’ classroom listening to him talking about all kind of things regarding geography. And to be honest, it’s not funny at all. When the bell finally rang I stood up from my seat fast and ran out of the classroom. I sighed happily when I realized we had a 15 minutes break now before English started. English… That meant Mr. Tomlinson. I smirked and put my geography books in my locker. Zayn and Liam appeared behind me and Zayn put his arm around my shoulder.

“Wanna follow us outside?” He asked me and I nodded.

“Sure. Where’s Niall?” I then asked when I saw he wasn’t with us. And you could never miss when Niall was at the school. He was loud and energetic which made that you always knew where he was.

“He called me this morning and apparently he had the flu. Poor kid.” He sniggered slightly. We sat down on the stonewall behind the school, near the woods and Zayn instantly lighted a cigarette. The teacher never liked seeing any of us smoke, but they couldn’t tell us not to do it since everyone know it won’t make us stop smoking, so we just keep our distance from the school building like they suggested us to do.

I turned to Liam “So how did it go with Danielle?” I asked him. And for once I think I got her name right.

“She actually said yes and we are going out this weekend.” He told me,  smiling dreamingly. I could only imagine how happy he was ‘cause he have been dreaming about this girl since last year.

“I knew she would. We all knew she would.” I said. “She’s already head over heels for you.” Zayn gave me the cigarette, I took it and put it between my lips and took a long breath. The smoke felt good in my body and calmed me down from stress I didn’t knew I had. “It’s obvious on the way she looks at you.” I then stated.

“Really?”

“Yes, of course.” Both me and Zayn said at the same time. I took one last drag from the cigarette before giving it back to Zayn and stood up. “Now boys, I have an English class to go to.” I smirked and they rolled their eyes. “See you later.”

I entered Mr. Tomlinson’s classroom to see that so far there was only three people here, and Mr. Tomlinson was not one of them. I sat down on my, now usually, seat at the second row. ‘Cause it was still seven minutes until class started I decided that I could read a chapter from the book we choose to read, which in my case was The Fault In Our Stars. I had read like one fourth of the book, and to be honest, it is actually really good, though I can sense it’s going to be sad in the end.

“Is it any good?” A voice asked me. I jumped slightly and put a hand over my heart. I was so into the book that I didn’t realize that the classroom now was filled up with students and now everyone had their gaze at me. And wanna know what? I blushed. I don’t know if it was because of the sudden attention I wasn’t prepared on, or if it was of embarrassment ‘cause I was into the book as much as I was. I’d rather not start being called a nerd just ‘cause I like a book.

“Yeah, It’s good.” I smiled up at Mr. Tomlinson, showing off my dimples, which made him smile back. He actually had a really pretty smile, with white, straight teeth that really shone. Literally.

“Good, then we can start the lesson, yeah?” I nodded at him, letting him know I was ready, I marked to page I was on closed the book and looking up at the whiteboard, seeing Mr. Tomlinson had started to write something on the board.

“Since we are reading the book on free time, I’ll give you to the week after next week to finish the book you’re reading, and if you have already finished the book, you can always read the second book in the series, if there is one. That makes you have more information about the book ‘til we are going to do the group talks.” He told the class. And while some people nodded, others groaned. Probably those who are to lazy to read a second book and read the first one fast to have it finished already. “How long time ago was it you guys worked on short stories?” he asked. A guy a row behind me put his hand up.

“Last year, sir.” He told Mr. Tomlinson who nodded happily.

“Very well, then it’s perfect for us to work on that now, to refresh your memory and your creativity.” A few girls smiled happily. The nerd girls. The one who likes to actually write, while the rest of us groaned at him. “Don’t be to sad now! It is actually really fun to write, you just gotta give it a chance!” he smiled at the class. “I’ll let you write about whatever you want to, and it should be at least 1 page and a maximum of 4 pages. Half of this lesson, I’ll let you think about what you want to write, and the rest you have to start writing, and I want to see that you have written something this lesson, or I’ll give you homework, okay?” Everybody shouted an ”okay” back. I took my writing block and pen and started to write some ideas on for a good short story.

When the class had ended, everybody started to pack their things, but I took my time ‘cause I was planning to talk to Mr. Tomlinson.

Maybe something else.

When everybody had escaped the room, I stood up with the paper in my hand, and a plan in my head.

“Hey, Mr Tomlinson?” He looked up at me. “Can you read what I’ve written so far? I wanna know what to do to make it better.” I asked him. And it was actually a truth, and it just so fit into my plan so well so I couldn’t resist what I was about to do.

“Sure Harry.” He smiled at me and I gave him the half written page and gave him a, fake, shyly smile. The innocent look always worked, and it made him trust me more. I saw his eyes scanning the page and then again.

“It’s good Harry, It’s a really good start, but I’d like for you to write with mo-“ he looked up at me and immediately stopped talking when he saw how close I had gotten. I gave him the most innocent smile I could muster and he looked at me with wide eyes.

Without him even realizing what I was doing, I leaned in, not to fast, but neither to slow and pressed my lips against his soft, slightly pink ones.
