Me And My JJ

39

Anaya's P.O.V.

"What?" I ask confused and he just looks at me like I've grown ten heads
"Uh-uh-erm" he starts
"Oh God it's my outfit innit, I'll go change" I say and turn around to run back upstairs but he stops me

"No wait, you look amazing" he says and I smile
"You might wanna pick your phone up dude" Hannan snickers
Harris bends down to pick his phone and damn his bum is cute

"Cute bum" I comment before walking into the kitchen
I just about see Harris turn as red as a tomato and my brothers make gagging faces.

"Mum I'm going shopping and I need money" I tell her
"What are you buying?" She asks
"I need clothes for results day tomorrow" I say and she nods her head

She hands me £100 and gives me a look
"What?" I ask
"Don't use it all" she says asking goes back to her cooking

I walk into the living room and see Harris still really red.
"Come on let's go" I say
Harris gets up and says bye to my brother's and we walk out the door.

We talk a little as we walk towards the centre and I can't help but notice how distant he's being. It's probably nothing

I go into Starbucks and grab a latte and a cookie.
"You need to eat proper food" he tells me
"Like what?" I ask taking a peice of my cookie
"Egg and toast" he shrugs
"Ew no I hate egg" I say scrunching up my nose

He sighs,
"Well you need to eat properly, you're so skinny" he says
"Ugh stop I get enough of that off my mum and dad" I say waving my hand in front of him

We reach the shopping centre in five minutes and as soon as I step foot into Forever 21, Harris starts complaining

"Why do you need new clothes anyway?" He asks
"I barely have any clothes" I say
"You have a wardrobe full of clothes you haven't even worn" he says
"So?" I ask
"So, why don't you wear one of them?" He asks

"Are you joking?" I ask shocked
"No I'm being serious" he says simply
"If you must know, I'm buying new clothes because I haven't seen anyone from school in ages and I'm not turning up two months later looking like a tramp and anyways Ali's gonna be there and I want him to see what he's missing" I explain

"Sorry" He apologies
"It's fine, now help me look for a cute outfit" I tell him
"fine" he replies and starts helping me look around

But I guess he can't keep quiet,
"So do you still like Ali?"

"No" I say disgusted but who am I kidding? I still like him a little. I've had a few other crushes but he was a real crush.

"Oh okay" he simply says
"Don't be so sarcastic I don't like him anymore and I'm just dressing nice so he can see what he's missing" I repeat

"And I believe you" he shrugs
"Don-" he cuts me off
"I'm not being sarcastic" he shouts
"Whoa, there's no reason to shout" I say and he rolls his eyes

Harris's P.O.V

She can say whatever she wants but I don't belive her. I can see it in her eyes. She's still hurting and I didn't make it any better by making her cry the other day.

She picks out her clothes and she pays and we make our way way home.
I drop her to her door and ring Adam.

"I can't hold it in any longer" I blurt out as soon as he answers
"Go to the toilet then" he jokes
"No, I can't hold the fact that I like Anaya in" I sigh
"Wait I'm coming" he says and hangs up

🕛

Fifteen minutes later, I have three boys in front of me and three boxes of pizza.

"Go over it again" Naz instructs
"I've been over it a million times" I complain
"I know it's too funny, I wanna hear it again" he laughs

"Can you guys take this seriously?" I ask
"Naz man shut up now" Adam says and he calms down
"So what do you want to do?" Slim asks

"I think I need to tell her how I feel?" I say nodding my head
"Embarrassed?" Naz asks and I give him another look
"Ignore him, how do you want to tell her?" Adam asks
"Over text?" I ask and they all give me a look
"Okay, over the phone" I say
"No do it face to face" Naz says and I groan

"That's too hard, and what am I supposed to do if she says she's not interested?" I ask
"She is, trust me" Naz says nodding his head

I ring her and tell her to be outside in half an hour

Anaya's P.O.V

I put on sweatpants and and a t- shirt and quickly wrap my hijab around my head.

I grab my phone and glasses and put on some trainers. I walk out the door and see Harris stood in front of his car looking quite nervous.

"Hey" I say cheerily and he replies quietly
He gets in the car so I sit in the passenger

We drive in silence until I start wondering that maybe he's going to kill me?
"Wait, are you gonna kill me?" I ask kinda scared
"No" he chuckles shaking his head

He pulls up in front of a river. We get out and he holds my hand. We walk up to tell edge and he tells me to look up.

I look up at the sky and it's so pretty.
"Oh my days, it's so pretty" I comment

"Not as pretty as you" I hear him say
We joke around like this all the time but for some reason it sounds different now. It's sounds like... he means it.

I turn around and look at him,
"What?" I ask slightly chuckling
"You heard me" He shrugs
I give him a questioning look and he sighs

"I called you here for a reason" he says
"Which is?" I ask
He takes a deep breath and looks down at his hands. I realise they're shaking so I put his hands in mine. He looks up at me and I give him an encouraging nod.

"I have feelings for you"

His voice echoes and my breathing stops
