Little White Lies (Harry Styles)

Chapter 22

Lola's POV:

Finally Friday! These days just seem to be getting longer and longer! But I was in a good mood, so no matter what day it was, I would be happy! I woke up before my alarm, I had washed my hair the night before so I just praided it from one side of my parting to the other and left it down. I wore a black skater skirt with a white long sleeved top and my doc martins.

'Morning Gramps' I greeted after practically skipping down the stairs.

'Someones happy this morning' He chuckled.

'Have you just woken up?' I ask whilst cutting some bread and putting it in the toaster.

'No I just decide to wear my pyjamas all day everyday!' He joked sarcastically.

'Woahh who shat in your breakfast this morning?!' I joked, pouring some apple juice into two glasses.

'Well I wouldn't have even had any breakfast at the speed your going!' He pointed to me before sitting down in his seat.

'Well here you go Mr grumps' I hand him a plate with a slice of toast on and put his juice on his arm rest. 'Do you want me to put any tv on for you?' I ask, adjusting the straps of my bag.

'Yeah, my favourite film please' He smiles widely up at me.

I groaned but followed his orders anyway.

My phone buzzed, and once I saw the name I couldn't help but smile. Me and Harry had been texting all night last night.

Message from Harry:

I'm outside:)

I quickly took a look in the mirror in the hallway quickly, sorting out my hair and adjusting my skirt. 'Bye gramps love ya!'

'Have fun Love! Take your time coming home!' He shouted. I laughed at how eager he was for me to make friends and fit in. I shut the door and locked it after me before running down the drive steps and opening the passenger door.

'Hey' I smile.

'Hiya, you look lovely' He smiles cheekily, running his hand up my leg. I slap it away and giggle.

'Thankyou' I blush. 'What lessons do you have today?' I ask as he pulls away from my house.

'Ummm, Biology, drama, history and P.e, in that order' He groans

'I would hate that!' I smirk. 'I think we have P.e together, because I have French, Art, Maths and P.e' 

'Something to look forward to then' He winks at me causing me to laugh and nod.

We finally pull up into school and for some reason the nerves decide to kick in.

'Um Harry' I mutter. 

'Hmm?' He replies looking over at me.

'I get it you know, if you're not comfortable with your friends knowing, we can just keep our friendship on the downlow if thats what you want?' I ask, With every word I say my stomach drops, who am I kidding? Me and Harry aren't a 'thing'. I don't even know why I've become so attatched to him recently, but if he wants something more then I do aswell. I don't want to rush any-

I'm cut off from my thoughts by a hand cupping my cheek and bringing my face towards his in a rough yet gentle kiss. 

'I like you Lola, but you know how my friends are' He whispers, resting his forehead on mine.

'Say no more Harry, I get it. okay' I smile at him. Truthfully i'm not upset by his preposition at all, in fact I may even be a little relieved. It's no secret that his friends don't like me, but after that kiss, knowing that he likes me is all I need.

'Thankyou for understanding, how about we meet at Roy's Diner afterschool at 4?' I nod, smiling and he pecks my forehead. 'Come on lets go' We both unbuckle our seatbelts and open the car doors to get out. I now realise that Harry parked down the road, probably so people don't see us. 'Listen um, i'll see you later okay?' He smiles and I nod watching him walk away towards Louis who's sitting on a wall the other side of the road. So I begin to walk up to school.

'Lola!' I turn at the sound of my name.

'Sophia, hey!' I smile.

'Looking forward to maths?' She asks sarcastically with a wink.

'It's the highlight of my day soph' we both laugh as we walk into the school doors.

'So I take it you and Harry didn't work out?' She asks with sympathetic eyes.

'I don't know, I guess we'll see. come on.'

Harry's POV:

'I'm jealous of you mate!' Liam says beside me as we sit in Biology with Niall.

'Why?' I ask, oblivious to what he's talking about.

'What do you mean why?! I'm surprised you haven't been on about it non stop? I know I would've been! You got marie's number you lucky shit' He laughs, growling slightly.

Oh yeah, maries number. I can't act innocent anyway, i'm completely guilty because I'm the one that went to Zayn's last night to get her number!

'So come on, when are you seeing her?' Niall nudges me.

'Oh yeah' I say, a bit out of the conversation.

'What are you waiting for? Text her now!' Liam almost shouts, obviously getting fustrated with me.

'Now?' I ask, they both sigh with frustration and I know what I have to do. 'Okay okay'. I pull out my phone and text her. We're soon texting back and forth, flirting a little I must say.

Message from Marie:

Do you want to meet afterschool today, with all your friends and mine aswell?xxx

To Marie:

Sorry I can't tonight, another day?xxx

'What are you doin tonight thats more important than meeting her?' Liams asks.

'Um, um'

'Listen Haz, if you don't meet her tonight then I will' He groans through his chuckle, I know he's not joking though!

'You're right, okay.' I give in.

To marie:

Scrap that, don't worry, I'll cancel for you xxx
