Meant to be (Harry Styles Love Story)

Chapter 4

Harry's P.O.V

I met Victoria at the park under the tree again. What Brittany said at lunch though kept floating around in my mind and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Did she really like me? Before the project I wouldn’t have guessed but yet maybe I could have. She was really pretty in my opinion, she was outgoing and smart. I guess you could say I was falling for her. Every time we were together I always felt wanted and needed.

"You ready?" She said. I came back to earth and took a seat next to her.

"Yeah." I huffed. She opened the book and I just watched her read over the material.

"Harry, you keep staring." She stated.

"Is that a problem?" I said in a cocky way.

"It's just a little creepy." She laughed.

"Why don't we take a break from this and do something else." I suggested.

"And do what?" She asked.

"Let's take a walk." I got up from my seat and held out my hand to her. At first she didn’t know what to do but she caught on eventually. We walked along the lakeside hand in hand and to me it felt right. I thought about prom and got an idea.

"Are you going to prom?" I asked curiously.

"With my friends yeah." She said. From that response I knew she didn’t have a date and I decided to make my move. We walked a little further up the path and I stopped and leaned over the railing.

"It's so beautiful today." She said. I looked at her as she looked at all the surroundings and smiled to myself.

"Will you go to prom with me?" I asked. She looked stunned by my answer.

"Me?" She pointed to herself. I straightened up and got close to her.

"Yeah." I said.

"What about Brittany?" She asked.

"Who wants to go with her? I like girls who aren’t selfish and conceded." I said honestly. She didn’t say anything for a moment.

"What do you say?" I said waiting for her to respond.

"Yes." She smiled and I held her hand in mine.

Victoria's P.O.V

I got home at around 5 this time and once again my mom left a note saying I was alone for the night. I didn’t care though. I was too happy about going to prom with Harry. I rushed upstairs to my closet and opened the double doors and stepped inside. I started to go through them when the doorbell rang.

"Coming!" I shouted while racing down the staircase. I opened the door and saw Katie there.

"Hey com on in." I said to her. She came in and looked a little upset.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I don't really know how to say this so I'm just going to say it as it is. Ali and I are going to prom with Kyle and Logan as dates." She played with her hands not looking at me. I smiled and hugged her tightly. She jumped at my reaction.

"What the heck?!" She shouted.

"I'm so happy for you guys." I exclaimed. She shook her head in disbelief and her eyes went wide.

"WHAT?!" I knew she expected me to react differently.

"I already have a date." I said smiling.

"WHO?!" She demanded.

"Harry asked me!" We jumped in circles and ran upstairs to my room to find the perfect dress for me to wear.

"This one?" She held a green one up. I shook my head.

"How about this?" She held a red one up.

"No." I said. She held up a purple one.

"Nope." I said popping the 'p'.

"You're impossible." She walked back into the closet with the dress searching for the perfect one for me. I sat on the edge of my bed playing with my phone carelessly thinking about nothing.

"Okay, I think you're going to like this one." I looked up and saw my favorite blue dress with the silver rhinestones along the bust area. It had rouging on the side with a sweetheart neckline. I always looked breathtaking whenever I wore it. I started to bounce with joy.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I got up and ran over to hold up. I went to my floor length mirror and held it against my body.

"It's perfect." I said. Katie took a step back and tapped her chin in deep thought.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"I was just thinking about how you and Harry never talked and suddenly he's all over you." I scowled at her response.

"So?" I questioned.

"Well, it's just that I don't get it. I mean, you're gorgeous don't get me wrong but, you never talked, he practically didn’t know you existed until this assignment, and now he likes you enough to ask you to prom." I thought about what she said and understood where she was coming from. She left shortly after to finish up her homework and I sat on my bed with the dress beside me.

"She's right." I thought out loud.

"It doesn’t seem real."
