Exposing Secrets- H.S. A.U

Chapter 5*

  I tried my best not to think about Harry this week, and our last encounter. I briefly saw him a couple days back walking to their barn. I tried slightly waving at him but he snapped his head in the other direction and kept walking. I honestly don't know why he thinks he can't be a friend, not that I have known him for a long time so maybe there are many reasons as to why he doesn't feel like he can be friends or why he's "dangerous". Maybe Harry is really just misunderstood, I can see it. But like I said, I don't know all the facts, but for some reason I had a piece of me that really wished I did and also knew more about him period. 

"Tanner! Would you be willing to run to the grocery store and get a few things? I forgot a couple things for the dinner tonight and would really appreciate it." I sighed and grabbed the list before heading to the car. When I began pulling out of the driveway, I saw Harry's truck pulling into his driveway. I drove down to his driveway and pulled in, parking behind his truck. 

"You want to ride down into town with me?" I said rolling down the window. Harry looked at me and turned around, opening the flap to his truck bed. He stayed silent, I sighed and honked the horn, getting his attention. He jumped a little bit, sending a glare at me over his shoulder. He walked over to the car window, 

"Did you not get the point the other day in the living room?" I tilted my head to the side, raising my eyebrows, 

"Well Harry, I'm stubborn and you're going to learn that. Now, get in the passenger seat. It's my turn to give you a ride into town." Harry shook his head and walked back over to his truck, unloading some sort of metal contraption off the back of it. I could tell he was struggling so I got out of my car and walked up, climbing in the bed of the truck. 

"I don't need help, just go Tanner." I lifted up the back end, helping lift it across the the back until it got to the edge. I grunted as I let it down, 

"You're not going to get rid of me Harry Styles, whether you like it or not. So accept it."Harry looked up at me and snapped his finger at me, pointing to the ground. I furrowed my eyebrows, 

"Excuse me? Don't you ever snap at me." I folded my arms as he snapped again, motioning his finger as well. I got off the truck bed and looked at him. I shook my head, 

"You're going to be a challenge, but I do enjoy challenges. But let's get this straight, I don't care whoever it is, never snap at a woman like a dog." I could tell Harry was trying to fight a smile on his face. He snapped his fingers and pointed to the car. I lifted my hand to smack his face before he grabbed my wrist, 

"Let's get this straight, don't you ever try to smack me, ever." I tried yanking my wrist out of his grasp but he held onto it. I whimpered, he pulled me closer to him. Our faces were closer than they had ever been, in fact, the closest I'd ever been to a boy. I gulped as he looked at me, his eyes looking back and forth between my eyes and my lips. 

"Why do you keep trying with me? What about me fascinates you?"For the first time, I ran out of words to say. My mouth had gone dry and my brain had gone stupid. Harry gently let go of my wrist, 

"Please go T, just go."He turned back towards the metal contraption, 

"At least let me help you with this, and then I'll leave you alone." Harry sighed and nodded, 

"Be careful, bend with your knees, not with your back." Harry mumbled as he helped me on the truck of the bed. I lifted up the contraption before hustling it off the bed and helping Harry carry it across the yard. He had me set it down in front of the barn doors while he reached for a key. I put my hands on my hips, trying to catch my breath. I watched as he fumbled with the keys, trying to find the right one before opening the door and counting to three before picking up the contraption again.
