Summer Camp Sweethearts ( Harry Styles AU)

Chapter 4: Crashed Plans

The rest of the day went by like a blur. I was just arriving home, closing the front door as I entered. I immediately went to the kitchen to grab an apple from the fridge. I went downstairs to my unofficial lair. Turning on the tv as I slumped onto the couch, I put up the volume louder than usual because I knew there wasn't anyone else in the house. I turned to Ridiculousness and put the remote down, unzipping my book bag and beginning my homework. Most people would say that multi-tasking is impossible but I can do it pretty efficiently. I pulled out the pile I had, sighing out of frustration. I wrongly assumes that since it was senior year I wouldn't get that much work. As I started my math work I heard my phone beep so I picked it up. I had a notification from twitter:

@Emmylemmy what chu up too? @Abbyblabby

I smiled remembering that we both discovered twitter together and decided to make our usernames rhyme with our nicknames. Instead of replying on twitter I decide to just text her.

Abby: I'm doing homework, why couldn't you just text me like a normal person?

Emmy: Ew gross and I talked to you on twitter because I wanted the whole world to know what you were up to but you foiled my plan, curse you!

Abby: your a dork, you know that?

Emmy: hehehe yeah but you love meh. Anyway the real reason I wanted to know what you were doing was because I'm bored and today is the premiere of that horror flick we've been waiting for, do you wanna go.

Abby: I do, but my parents are still at work and I have homework...

Emmy: Oh come on, you can do it later and your parents won't mind if you text them on your way there PWEEZE!

Abby: are Alex and Jamie coming too?

Emmy: they can't, Alex has soccer practice and Jamie is with her boyfriend, Nate.

I rolled my eyes as I read his name, Nate is a superficial ass who only thinks of himself. He's the reason why we rarely get to see Jamie out of school. He always asked her who she would rather hang with, us or him, and being that she is blindly in love, she chooses him.

Abby: Fine why not, I wasn't planning on doing my homework anyway.

Emmy: Oh my god yay! I'll pick you up in two hours, so make yourself look pretty, maybe we can find somebody to help get your mind of that Harry kid.
Just reading his name made me remember all the happened today. I decided that she was right and went to doll myself up a bit.
*******************************
I heard the car horn and put my mascara away, smiling slightly at the stranger in the mirror. I rarely put on makeup, but I have to admit I do feel pretty with it on. I grabbed my phone, checking to make sure my mother was okay with me going, and houses keys and stuck them in my bag, running to the driveway. The first thing that met my eyes was Emily's silver convertible, perfectly pristine, as usual. She was honestly in love with that car, she even gave it a name, I think it was Bradley, if i can recall correctly. I hopped into the passenger side only to hear Maroon 5 blasting through the speakers. Em lowered the volume slightly as she began to talk.

"Are you ready for the scariest movie you've ever seen in your entire life?" She exclaimed, pulling out of the driveway. I shrugged my shoulders, nonchalantly.

"Honestly, I don't expect much. The quality of scary movies is getting worse and worse these days." She rolled her eyes at me and continued to be all giddy and excited. As we reached the parking lot, I scanned the faces of those who were standing in line, seeing if I saw anyone who caught my attention. There were some cute faces, but nobody I would feel comfortable talking to, until I saw a familiar head of curly hair at the front of the line. I immediately grabbed the bridge of my nose and inhaled deeply.

"Em, I'm going to kill you...." I said, as calmly as I could. She turned to me with a worried look on her face. All of her plans soon spilled from her mouth.

"Abby, I'm really sorry, it's just that after I tweeted you, he chatted to me asking if I was planning to hang out with you and I tried to lie but he saw through it, so I told him about the movie. He bribed me saying that if I let him come with us that he would get me a date with Anthony, you know that guy that I have been fawning over in school. Apparently, they met in school and exchanged numbered and he said he was up for anything. Plus he said he would buy the tickets, and who wouldn't want free tickets. I'm so so sorry, please don't be mad at me!" I put my hand up to stop her from continuing to rant and apologize.

"Dude chill out, it's no big deal, I just wish you would have warned me ahead of time. It's okay with me cause he promised in school that we would stay friends for a while." She let out a sigh of relief as she parked the car close to the entrance. I hopped out of the car and made my way over to Emily's side, seeing the apologetic look still plastered on her face. "Em, don't worry about it honestly it will be fine, just think about cuddling with Anthony during the movie. " As I said this, she smiled and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"You're an amazing friend, I hope you know that." She says, locking arms with me as we made our way over to where the boys are. Once we were close enough for the boys to see, Harry's eyes locked on me. I tried to pretend not to notice, as I gave a friendly smiled to Anthony and then a more awkward smile to Harry. Emily broke away from me and went to Anthony, who handed her a ticket and offered her his hand. She grabbed it and they both made their way over to the snack line.

"Don't worry dude, since you got the tickets, I'll go buy the snacks and we'll meet you inside the theater."

"Cool we'll meet you there!" Harry calls back, waving at them as they walked away. He turned back to me and smiled awkwardly. That awkward smile brought back the memory of the first day we met and how a similar smile made my heart flutter...

I'm thinking about making every few chapters a flashback to their time together at camp but I'm not sure. The next one will definitely be a flashback but I don't know if I will keep it going. Thanks for reading. <3 - Veronica (the bum)
