Romeo and Juliet • h.s

Chapter 4

Nina

Cara and I walked to the bonfire, and I hoped to see Harry. My eyes wandered around the crowd. Both of us spotted each other at the same time, and Harry walked over to me. I couldn't keep my eyes off Harry. He looked really good. he was wearing a black and a white plaid, and black jeans, and his curly hair was pushed to the side. When walked over to me, and he kissed my cheek.

"Hey, beautiful." he said, his lips forming a smile. A rosy color crept up my face, making me smile, really widely. I probably looked psychotic.

"Hey, Harry." I replied shyly

"Come on, I want to introduce you to my friends."

"Ok." Harry grabbed my hand and took me to his friends. We strolled around and met a group of boys and girls.

"Nina, meet Zayn, Perrie, Liam, Dani, Louis, Eleanor, and Niall."

I waved, and greeted them with a smile, but they all hugged me instead, catching me off guard.

"Nice to meet you!" They all smiled.

We all chit chatted as the s'mores were being prepared.

"So Harry, what are you majoring in?" I asked.

"Photography, I just love taking pictures. They're so relaxing and fun to do."

I nodded, "Interesting."

"What about you?" he asked curiously.

"I'm doing Criminal Justice, but I highly doubt I'm going to be anything."

His eyebrows narrowed, "Why?"

"Well, I'm getting mar-." I got cut off when the professor decided to tell scary stories.

"Ok, then." I said.

"One time, when I was nine, my family and I moved into this house. My parents were out and I was in my room, jumping on my bed, and my brother was in the living room watching a movie. And I could see my shadow while I was jumping, and when I stopped jumping, the shadow was still jumping, and I got really scared and ran downstairs to my brother." I said to the crowd as the listened intently.

Harry's eyes widened, "I would have pissed my pants if I were there."

I chuckled, "Yea, it was pretty scary."

The crowd murmured, then it was Harry's turn.

"Well, when I was 11, I was home alone and I was watching tv, and I heard someone laughing, and I got scared, but I shrugged it off, then like five minutes later I heard loud noises of things crashing against the wall and I went to go check and my room was trashed. I was really lucky my parents made it home in time or else I wouldn't be alive right now."

"Oh my god, that's so scary." a random girl said.

"We found out later that the house was haunted by a young girl at the age of ten."

"That's even scarier because the kids are the scariest thing in the world." Louis said, and I nodded my head to agree with him. Children were the spawn of Satan.
The stories got scarier by the second, but I felt safe in Harry's arms.

I probably am falling for him.

After that whole "story time", I went back to my tent with Cara. Harry kissed me on the cheek and said goodnight, and I my heart was still racing.

Let me say, he kissed me goodnight an hour ago. And I'm still freaking out.

I couldn't sleep, all I could think about was Harry, that's all. The way his eyes looked golden and green in front of the fire was chilling, and his arms wrapped around me were warmer that the fire itself. I wanted to sit with him and talk about that his tattoos meant. My favorite one so far is the ship. It reminds me of the time I went on a cruise a very long time ago with my family and met this girl who is now my best friend.

And that is Cara.

*****
So the story Nina told was actually real. It happened to me when I was nine and I literally got chills writing it because it was really scary. That house was cursed, my entire family got hurt really badly and when we moved we found out that the house was haunted by a five year old who's head was chopped off.

Pretty scary, huh.
