The Photographer

Chapter Two: Adjusting

*Olivia*

Harry and I rode the bus home together and went to his place to work on our rough draft for the quotes in our yearbook. He is a really nice and kind person, and to be honest, amazingly cute. He is the only one I know that can pull of the mop of curls and rugged style while still looking good... Ugh I am getting carried away here.

"Oh! Harry, you already brought a girl home on the first day. Told you they'd love you." Anne smiled and ran up to hug me.

"Mum! she's my partner for a project. Not my-"

"Pleasure meeting you Mrs. Mathews, lovely place you have." I said, interrupting Harry. I finished talking to her and headed to Harry's room upstairs. As I walked in, I saw a row of pictures hanging from the wall and leading to the closet. He had blue walls and a small bed in the back corner, with a laptop and a desk to my right. There was a couple of things on the ground, but it wasn't messy at all. Surprising, considering he was a guy and guys, well... never mind.

I sat onto the bed next to Harry and pulled out my labtop from my bag, along with my notebook and pencils. Harry got up and took his labtop from the desk and sat back down, a little closer to me than usual. I didn't move because I was at the back of the bed already.

 I coughed and wrote a couple of things down for ideas to put in the yearbook. Harry nodded and listened while I explained what to do. Once in a while I would glance up at him to see his curls falling onto his face as he wrote things. Then he would shake it out and put it to the side, creating a rugged fringe.

"Are you going to help me or just keep staring?" He mimicked me when we met on the bus this morning.

"Er, yeah. Okay..." My face flushed as he laughed lightly while I focused finishing my paper.

"Thanks for helping me with school today, I couldn't have made it through the day without you." He smiled and I returned the gesture.

"No problem, you looked like you needed it." I winked and played with my birthstone ring on my finger.

I was hesitant to give him a hug or not, but why not. I hugged him tightly as I stood on my toes and closed my eyes, smiling. He returned the hug, rubbing my back and told me to save a seat for him on the bus. I laughed and told him of course I would. I said goodbye to Anne and left for home.

My alarm clock went off and I stretched, blinking my eyes so they could adjust to the light shining from my window. I yawned and grabbed a towel so I could shower. I hopped in after I adjusted the cold water to warm water. After I got showered and dressed, I grabbed my homework and put it into my bag, along with my camera. I said goodbye to my mum and went outside to wait for the bus. It was taking a little longer than I would have expected, so I took out my phone and messaged my mum saying,

'Love you mum. Don't work to hard today. xxo'

After the bus came to a stop, the doors opened and I climbed in. Sure enough, I see Olivia reading a book. She was wearing glasses and her hair was up today with a small bow clip on the side. I walked over to her and sat down.

"I didn't know you had glasses." I smirked and nudged her.

"Oh! Harry! Uh, yeah... um these old things." She quickly took them off and put them in her bag.

"I didn't say you look bad in them. Quite attractive, may I add." I quickly regretted what I just said and mentally face-palmed myself. 

"What do you mean?" She smiled and turned to me, her face turning a light shade of pink.

"Never mind... I -I'll tell you later."
