Breathless

Four

A/N: Sorry for the confusion, but I have come to a decision that I am in fact going to continue this story. Majority of people told me that they liked it, so I figured I would save the other story until I have completed this one:) Sorry again, but here's the next chapter! Enjoy xo

Classes start today, I have two classes back to back in the morning, and then the rest of my day is free....which I am happy with.

Before my first class, I figured I would go eat some breakfast at this on campus diner everyone was talking about.

I quietly got dressed, not trying to wake up Trish, and closed the door slowly behind me once I was in the hallway.

When I finally got there, I was surprised to see the place was small. It was probably the smallest diner I have ever seen.

"How many?" The older woman asked.

"Just one."

"The tables are all filled, so you are going to have to sit at the counter...unless you want to wait for a table."

My eyes followed hers, looking around the small space.

She was right, it was crowded in here and there was only one open stool at the counter.

"I'll sit at the counter." I smiled and she gestured to her left, not returning the smile.

I sat down, shrugging my jacket off my my soulders, and placing it on the back of the chair.

"Sydney?" I looked up from my jacket and saw Harry looking at me from the seat next to mine.

Great...

"Hey" my voice came out small, as I turned back to the counter and picked up the menu, hoping to end the conversation.

"You should get the waffles..they're amazing here." A small smile tugged at his lips.

Surprising myself, I kid back. "I'm more of a pancake person."

Before either of us could say anything else, a waiter came over.

"Have you decided what you want to order?"

"Yeah.." I set down my menus and turned my gaze slightlly to Harrys, whos eyes were on me. "I think I am going to have the pancakes."

After the waiter walked away, Harry shifted in his seat so now he was facing me. "You just made the worst mistake of your life." He joked.

Harrys food came first, then mine. He of course, ordered the waffles and as much as I didn't want to admit it, he was right...they looked incredible.

A few moments went by before either of us spoke. "You know, I would say I told you so but I don't want to be mean." He turned his head towards me, smiling.

I quickly turned my head back straight, my eyes no longer on his vibrant green ones.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I was trying not to smile as I spoke.

"Admit it. You've been staring at my waffles the entire time and haven't even touched yours...admit that you regret ordering the pancakes."

"What are you talking about? I love my pancakes." I stuck my fork in one and brought it up to my mouth, taking a bite out of it. "Mmmm," I hummed.

He cut a piece of a waffle and put it in my dish. "Just try it, Sydney."

I gave him a look before picking the piece up with my fork and placing it into my mouth.

Harrys POV

As she chews, she retrieves her bag and sifts through it, looking for the phone that just went off.

"Oh my god!" She said while looking down at her phone.

"The waffles that good, huh?" The sound of my voice made her pick up her head, a light smile spreads across her face.

"No, I have class in like five minutes...but yes, the waffle is that good." She quickly gets up and searches through her wallet.

"I had the waiter add it to my bill." I bring up the nice gesture.

"Oh, well..thank you," her face relax when our gazes connected. "You didn't have to do that."

"It's no problem, I'll walk you to your car." I said picking up my jacket and gesturing toward the door.

"Oh, I don't have a car. I walked."

"You walked? From the dorms?" She nodded. "Wow, impressive."

"Well," I started "seeing that it takes five ten minutes to walk back, I'll give you a ride."

I can see she thought about it for a second before agreeing. I feel like she is always hesitant around people, which only makes me want to know her even more.

Sydneys POV

"Hey you done with classes for the day?" Trish asks as grabs a Gatorade out of the mini fridge.

"Yep, I was thinking about maybe catching up on some Netflix."

"Laaame." She throws her head back. "Why won't you come with me to the party tonight?? It's going to be wild."

"No thanks, not my scene." I stated for what felt like the millionth time.

"Okay fine...but promise me you will go to one with me someday. This is only the first one so I won't force you to go."

"Promise." As soon as I said it, I regretted it. But, it was only so she would get off my back.

Sitting on my bed, I plugged in my headphones and began watching my show.

-

"Syd!" I took off my headphones and looked over at Trish. She was all dressed up, and looked like she was ready to go to the party. I turned my head at the clock and saw it was eight o'clock.

Man, time really flies when you're watching Netflix.

"I am going to the party now, how do I look?" She turns, giving me a side profile.

"You look good." I smiled and she said goodbye before leaving.

I decided to walk down to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat and then go get a book at the library.

When I was walking back to my dorm, I saw someone walking towards my hall of the dorms.
The signature mop of curls gave away his identity, before I was close enough to see his face.

"Harry?"
