TOGETHER FOREVER

CHAPTER 12

Harry's pov:

After I talked to Ryan I dropped Eliza at her house and headed to my house. I was disappointed he doesn't want to start today but he was agreed to do tomorrow. So I was happy. I don't know why but whenever I was with him I have this strange feeling. I can't to wait to spend time with him tomorrow.

The next morning I got ready for college and on the way I picked up Eliza from her house. Once we reached the campus parking lot I switch off the engine and faced Eliza.

"Eliza, I can't drive you back today. So, get a ride with any of our friends." I said.

"What? Why?" she asked confused.

"I have to start the project with Ryan. I promised him to start today" I said.

Her expression changed from confused to angry and she shouted. "You are ditching me for that freak." She asked. I just stared at her then she composed herself. "What I mean is, you can do it after you drop me in my house" she said.

'I don't even know why I was with her anymore' i thought.

"Sorry, honey. Unfortunately he can work on our project only 6-8. So, I have to make most of it." I said with a soft tone.

"Fine" she said angrily and left.

After Eliza was gone I headed to my class. After class I eagerly waited for Ryan to talk about the project.

I told Eliza to go and have lunch without me and I will join them in 5 minutes. When Ryan came out I stopped him.

"Hey Ryan" I said.

"Hi Harry" he said.

"You do remember that we are going to start the project today right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Where do you want to do? your place or my place?" I asked.

He seems to think for a moment and answered.

"If you don't mind you can come to my place" he said.

"No problem man. I will pick you up after college okay? Wait for me in the parking lot." I said.

"Okay. But, I have to pick up my sister from her school" he said nervously.

"That's fine. I can give you a ride, we will pick her up. She was on the way to your house right?' I asked.

"Yeah.." he said.

'He was so cute when he was nervous' I thought myself and shook my head. What am I thinking about.

"Okay, see you later" I said and headed to the cafeteria. When the time I reached there all of my friends are there. I got food and took a seat on the table. But, I didn't listen to their conversation much.

After the classes were ended I was waiting in the parking lot for Ryan to come. After about 5 minutes I saw him coming with Lena.

"Hey.." they both said.

"Hi" I replied.

Ryan turned to Lena and said "I will see you tomorrow. Be safe ok?" he said.

"Okay Ryan, Take care" she waved a good bye to us and left.

"Shall we go?" I asked. He nodded.

I opened the passenger door for him to enter and once he seated I closed the door. I ran to another side and took a seat. I started the engine and Ryan told me the way. After 3 minutes we came to a stop. Ryan opened the door and climbed out and I do the same. As soon as he was out a small girl came towards us and hugged Ryan tightly while shouting 'Rayyyyy...'

"Hey hena... how was school?" He asked. "It was fine". She said and turned towards me.

"Who is this?" she asked while pointing towards me. Before he could answer I introduced myself.

"Hi little girl, I am your brother's friend. My name is Harry" I said and ruffled her hair.

"Me Sheena.." she said. She was so cute just like her brother. But they didn't look alike.

"Come on let's go." He said and picked her from the ground.

He made her sit in the back and he took a seat in the front. After 5 minutes we reached his house.

It's was just a simple house. Well, smaller than a normal house. Ryan opened the door and we entered inside. Even though it was small it was clean and neat.

"Sheena, go to your room and do your home work. I will bring you your cookies." Ryan said with a motherly tone.

She nodded and ran to her room which is beside the kitchen. Then he turns towards me "Do you need anything to eat?" he asked.

"We don't have much but I have some snacks and juices." He said.

"Anything is fine." I told him. He nodded and gestured me to follow him.

We entered in his room which is very small. "You can take a seat. I will be back." He said and left the room. I took the time to absorb the room. It doesn't look like any other normal teenager room. It was plain and simple. There is only one photo of him and his sister on the wall. A small closet was in the corner and a study table was in another corner. He already said he don't have a mobile so I am not surprised to see there is no any system or laptop.

After 5 minutes he entered in the room with a plate of cake and two orange juices. He placed the plate in the table and handed me the juice glass. I took a sip and he handed me the cake. I placed it beside me.

Then we started to discuss about the project. We discussed about in what topic we are going to do the project and what we have to do. We split the work between us so we could finish it easily. After about 1 hour later my phone started to ring. When I looked at the caller id it was my mom. 'Oops, I forget to tell her that I was coming to Ryan's home.'

I attend the call and answered.

"Harry where are you? Do you know what time it is?" my mom shouted from the other side.

"Mom, don't shout. I'm sorry. I was in my friend's house doing some project we assigned to do in the history class." I said.

"Well, at least you should have informed me. When will you going to finish?" she asked.

"We are going to wind up. I'll be there in 30 minutes." I said.

She sighed and said ok. "Ok, don't make me worry again. Drive safe." She said.

I said my good bye and hung up the call.

"Sorry Ray, my mom was worried I didn't tell her that I am coming here."

"Ohh.... Okay then, we should stop here. We can discuss the remaining tomorrow." He said and I nodded.

He walked me to the door and before I can get into my car he called me. I turned and asked him 'what?'

"Don't call me Ray again." He sternly said.

I gave him a sheepish grin. "Sorry, it was slipped" I said and continued. "But, I think it was cute. I will get used with it. Bye Ray" I said and winked at him and got in my car.

When I saw him by my mirror he was looking at the ground shyly. I shook my god and headed to my house. On the way back to my home I can't help but smile like an idiot.
