The Best Friend h.s

Chapter 1

Jenni's POV

*Flashback*

"Hurry up Jenni." My best friend Harry yelled grabbing my arm and shaking it.

"Hold on Harry, I need to finish my homework, didn't you do your yet?

"No one has time for that stuff!"

"You have to find time if you want to be successful Harry." That's the thing I don't get about him. He doesn't do his homework, yet he still get good grades.He does flirt with the teacher which is awkward since she's in her forty's, but she better not give him grades based on that. I have a perfect 4.0 GPA. My plan is to go into medical school and become a nurse or a doctor.

"I don't need good grades, I'm going to be a singer!" He did have a nice voice, that I couldn't deny but I would still have a back up plan.

"Alright, give me a few minutes then we can go."

"Yaaayyyy!!!" He yelled right in my ear.

I chuckled and continued my homework.

Harry was a very funny and flirtatious guy. With his curly hair and gorgeous jade eyes, he could have any girl under his spell, excpecailly me. He didn't know that I liked him and there was no way in hell I would tell him. He has dated many girls before and I would pretend it doesn't hurt to see them with him. I would fake a smile and tell him she was very pretty which would result in us talking about the lucky girl for several hours and me pretending that I was fine and trying not to cry and make myself look bad.

"Okay Harry, I'm done now, lets go to the bakery." Harry worked there, but today was his day off so we would just go there and have something to eat.

"C'mon then!" He yanked my arm again and dragged me out the door.

It was June, which meant only a few more weeks of school until summer vacation. The air outside was warm and there were children running under sprinklers having a blast.

Harry and I walked into the bakery and my nose was filled with the smell of bread and cookies.

"Good afternoon what can I get for you?" May said. She was a sweet old lady with a passion for baking, and her cookies were to die for.

"Can we have six of your famous chocolate chip cookies." Harry said flashing a wink to the woman. She's in her sixty's but I guess Harry likes those older women.

I giggled at the thought of Harry, a 16 year old with a 60 year old woman.

"Coming right up dear."

We waited about three minutes before May walked out with the cookies.

"How much?"

"No need Jenni, their on the house." She smiled looking at Harry. Did he just? And did she just?

"Ok here's a tip then." I handed her a few euros.

We walked out eating our cookies, which melted in my mouth, to the nearest park to relax.

"I have something to say Jenni." Harry turned his body to face me.

"Yeah what's up."

"So you know how I told you its my dream to be a singer?" Were is this going?

"Yes Harry, I know."

"Okay well I was thinking about auditioning for the X-Factor!" His eyes twinkled.

I spit my cookie out and made weird coughing noises.

"Oh my god are you okay love?" Harry asked while patting my back,

I held a finger up signaling him to give me a moment to recover.

"It's okay, I'm good." He looked really worried and I felt bad. Stupid cookie.

"Do you need water or something?"

"No no its okay, but I'm really glad you're auditioning, I know you'll do fantastic."

"Really, thanks Jenni, you're the best friend ever." Friend....Just friends. He leaned in and squeezed me into a hug.

"What are you planning to sing?"

"Isn't She Lovely, its my favorite song."

"Yeah I know, I'll be here to support you, just don't forget me when you make new friends."

"I would never forget you Jenni, ever."

"Promise me Harry."

"I promise you Jenni."

I hope he keeps his promise.
