Chapter 10

"Diana! Diana wake up!" I heard while I was asleep.

"What?!" I screamed as I woke up scared to death.

"Are you okay? I couldn't find you at all yesterday! I was searching for you but it got late and all I could do was come back here and pray that you were okay. And now I just woke up and now you're sleeping in you're bed I'm so confused!" Holly said as she sat on her bed that was across from mine.

"Holly I'm fine haha, I just needed to leave the club for a while."

"For a while? Diana you took all night!" Holly said while laughing.

Even though I've only known Holly for two days, she wasn't that bad. I could tell she was really worried by the look in her eyes.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking."

I glanced at my alarm clock that was on my bed side. It was eight fifteen AM.

"Holly when do our classes start?"

"Friday."

"So we don't have anything to do today?"

"Nope." Holly answered.

I squealed when I heard my phone rang. Who could be calling me so early in the morning? I looked at the caller ID to see who it was. I thought it would be my mom or dad calling to check on me but it wasn't. It was Harry. I slowly picked up my phone and rubbed my eyes to see if they were playing tricks on me. Why would Harry call me so early? More importantly why would he call me out of all people?

"Are you gonna answer it or just sit there?" Holly asked with a laugh. I swiped across the screen of my phone to answer it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Diana? It's Harry." Harry answered, he sounded like he had just woken also.

"Hey Harry. How are you?"

"I'm doing well. How about you?"

"I'm great." There was an awkward silence, then I heard someone shout "Oh just ask her out already Harry!"

"Excuse me for a second." He said before he yelled "Niall shut up!" I laughed away from the phone hoping he didn't hear me. Harry cleared his throat before talking back on the phone.

"Um Diana?"

"Yes?"

"Would you maybe want to go out later today for lunch?"

"Um sure yeah!" I responded.

"Great, so uh I can pick you up at twelve o'clock. I think I remember where your school was from last night."

"Um Diana could we maybe meet at your school gates? It might get a little hectic if I go into your school." At first I was confused to what he meant but then it caught on to me and I knew exactly what he meant. As of last night I figured out that teenage girls plus a public Harry don't exactly mix well together.

"Yeah no problem. I'll see you then!"

"Yeah see you later."

When I hung up the phone my heart was beating fast. I actually didn't know why? I don't know if it was either because I was nervous or because my anxiety was getting the best of me?

"Who was that?" Holly asked.

"Just a friend." I answered. I know I haven't known Harry long enough to call him my friend but it would've been rude of me to say it was nobody.

"Oh ok. Hey I think I'm just going to stay on campus today and look around. What are you doing?"

"Well I'm going-"
