How To Save A Life (H.S)

Date

Kendyl's P.O.V

I tried to ignore the looks everyone was giving me as I walked hand-in-hand out of class with Harry. It was Wednesday and we had our philosophy class. Due to certain circumstances, we had it rather late than usual. Also, it was my first day back to classes after my little episode three weeks ago. I knew people wanted to come up and ask me things, but they hesitated once they caught a glance of Harry by my side. I kind of liked it to be honest. I didn't want to be questioned because in the end it was nobody's business.

I wasn't sure that my return had made everyone stare. Maybe they were staring at the fact that I was walking hand-in-hand, with nonetheless Harry Styles. Sure, everyone had seen him around girls but not like this. Never like the way he was with me.

Harry held my hand firmly, like he meant it. Displaying the message 'Kendyl Sinclair is off-limits' very clearly. I liked it, his sweet way of showing the world that I was his and he was mine. Then he was also leaning down to kiss me in front of peers in the parking lot. He also helped me into the car just causally in front of a crowd, unaffected by all the stares we got. Jealous stares from the girls and shocked ones from the boys. I wondered how he could be so calm about it.

I was trying to act like it was something normal for me but I wasn't used to this kind of attention. I tried to control my face so that it wasn't turning unbearably red. I smiled a bit tightly though. Of course, Harry noticed.

"Wait till we get back to the dorms." He said under his breath, whilst wrapping an arm around me shutting the door with the other hand. Then clicked the lock button on his car. I nearly melted then and there. Harry awakes something in me that I didn't know existed. I had been so closed off from society and being around people, I didn't know that I was capable of feeling what I was experiencing. One small sentence. I was enough to send my heart soaring out to the stars with a foreign excitement.

I closed my eyes for a quick second, wishing for the warm feeling, which pitted in my gut to go away.

"You are an ass." I muttered once I opened my eyes and stared back up at him. Harry shuts his door, placing the key in the ignition before he turned it on.

"I am but I'm also your boyfriend. It's tit for tat, can't get one without the other." Harry teased cheekily.

"Did you see how people stared from the moment we got to class and left?" I asked him. Either I was crazy or truly, people did stare.

"Yeah. Don't blame them though, you can't help but be so beautiful babe." Harry answered, making me blush again. He was being so darn sweet and I was not used to it. I couldn't even make myself respond. I never had anyone to show affection to, beside my mom and dad. I never had a boyfriend before.

"I suppose." I uttered finally.

I didn't speak most of the car ride as Harry drove to the restaurant. I hoped I was dressed properly enough for the occasion; our first ever proper date.

All day I wore a long cardigan to cover up the tight black dress I was wearing along with the matching choker. I wore creamy pastel pink flats. I was comfortable in my outfit but I couldn't help but notice that I stood out. My hair was straightened and blow-dried. I wore light foundation with mascara, some concealer as well to hide the dark circles. Then lastly, I finished it off with some highlight, which was insisted by Valentina.

I didn't even bother to look at the restaurant that Harry pulled into. I wanted to focus on calming myself down. I didn't want to screw up our date. My first date ever that was with someone I really like.

Harry parked smoothly, shutting the car off. He unbuckled himself, getting out before heading over to my side. I took off my seatbelt just as Harry opened my door. I slid a leg down to get down. Harry offered a hand that I gratefully took to get out of the car. Once I was completely out, I shrugged off the cardigan, placing it on my seat before I fixed my dress blushing when I noticed Harry's hard stare over me. When our eyes met, I blushed even deeper upon seeing how dark his green irises had gotten.
