"Uhmm.." I stuttered with my words, lost with those chocolate brown eyes.

"So" He started as he places both his hands on his pockets.

"So..." I repeated.

"How are you?" He asked as he rubs his hand on his neck. I really notice these things when a person gets nervous or shy.

"Fine, I guess." I said as I look at my shoes, I don't even want to talk about the incident yesterday.

"Good." He smirked.

Before I can even ask again, the other boys were approaching. That means, Harry is here too. Uh- oh.

I actually froze for that moment.

It was then Hannah finally showed up. Phew! Thank god! Life saver!

They said you can't run away with your problems, facing them would be hard but it's not impossible solving them. No one wants a problem. Everyone seems to escape but not for too long. So basically, that's what I'm going to do first. Run with my problems.

Run now, even if it will haunt me…

I just can’t face Harry for now.

For now.

I saw how Zayn’s mouth moved. He said something but it was too late; I was already at Hannah’s car. I never heard it. If only I can read people’s lips.

“Woah, you look pale. It’s like you saw a ghost!” Hannah said when I finally sat back at the passenger’s seat.

“Worst.” I mumble, finally my blood is circulating now. I wipe away a cold sweat on my forehead. That was close.

“Who?” She asked with her confuse face. Her eyebrows knit on her forehead.

“Harry.” Just by saying his name gives me shivers.

She never spoke again when I said his name. She starts the engine and drove home. Hannah know me too well, she knows where to not push the subject. I just look at the window all the way home, not bothering to start a conversation. The drive home was a silence, not an awkward silence though.

Thoughts came inside my head keeping me out from reality.

Is that a bad move, not talking to Harry? Just ignoring him? I know I can’t stay mad him for long, I never did.

“Give me back my diary now, Harry!” I shouted at him as I tiptoed on my feet getting my diary on his arms. He’s taller than me, so there might not be any chance of getting it back. But I don’t give up that quickly.

“Nope” He said, popping the letter ‘p’

“GIVE. IT. BACK. NOW. Or else…” I said with my gritted teeth.

“Or else what, Flory?”He smirks, knowing that I hate calling me Flory.

“Stop calling me Flory! Ew!” I said with my sour expression.

“I can call you anything I want.” He grins.

“Just give it back, please?” I asked, doing the puppy dog eyes. I hope it’ll work.

“That’s not going to work, missy.” He let his tongue out.

“I tried.” I said defeated.

He then started opening it. NO! That’s the only thing where I wrote stuff like…like…how I like Harry when we first meet. All the feeling I have for him. NO! NO! NO! He can’t.

“Harry!” I shouted on the top of my lungs.

“So…you have a crush on--” Before he can even read the name of it, I finally snap it out if his hand. Wow. That was a relief. VICTORY!

“I hate you.” I mumble, rolling my eyes to him.

“Aww, I love you too.” He grins like a cheshire cat.

“I mean it, Curly.”I look at him sternly.

“You can’t stay mad at me, Flor.” He smirks, knowing that it’s true.

“True.” I said defeated.

He then hugs me tightly. It made my knees feel like jelly. I know he treats me like a sister but he never knew what my feelings are for him. If only he knew…

 A smile creeps on my lips remembering how close we were back then. How naïve we both were. How the past keeps on making me smile like an idiot.

And now…

I still can’t stay mad at him.
