Second Year Teacher

Chapter 9: Call Me Maybe?

Harry Pov- few days later

I waited all weekend for her to call. I waited all Monday, nothing. Did she think I was a bad kisser or something? I would beg to differ on that, but seriously. Ugh, normally I never call girls back, but I hope that this isn't karma taking a swing at me. Because... I actually think I like Alexis, "Is it too soon to tell?" I asked Louis, stirring my coffee. "No, it's not, Harry Styles hazza crush everybody!" he sang loudly. I punched his shoulder actually quite hard, "Ow" Lou said, rubbing his arm. "What, you don't see me walking down the street yelling, "Louis Tomlinson... loves Carrots?" I said quietly, because the whole world knew him and Eleanor stayed together. Then I stopped short, I would recognize that long golden hair anywhere. "Alexis" my eyes bugged out of my head, and I felt my head sink back, giving me a triple chin. I stuck my arm out in front of Louis, "Oh my god" I said, sounding like I was gonna puke. "What?" Lou said, looking at me funny. "Oh!" he said, then an ear to ear grin appeared on his face, "That's her, isn't it?" he said, pointing to her, standing up at the counter. I nodded yes.

I took the plunge, and walked up to her. "Alexis!" I said, slightly extending my arms for a hug. "Harry!" she said, doing the same. I hugged her, her jacket was lightly damp with rain, and her hair smelled like spring. I felt a sly smile rise to my face. "Hey, so I was wondering if you were free later?" I said, pulling away from her amazing embrace. She looked at me, her green eyes wide. Normally people compliment me on my stunning green eyes, and hers were probably as perfect as people say mine are. "Yes I am" she said, her perfect smile drawing me in. "I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner, or grab some drinks or something?" I scratched the back of my neck, trying to make it seem casual. "I would love to" she said, smiling again, "I'll text you" she said through her smile. "Great! I'll be waiting!" I said, cheekily winking, before walking away.

I walked back over to Lou. "Soooo how was it!" he said, throwing his arm around me. "Better than I thought" I said, trying not to explode into a million butterflies. I felt like a little school girl who just got asked to the school dance by like, Justin Bieber or... me... I pulled out my phone, and kept it glued in my palm, sure enough, a text came.

Unknown Number: Hey Harry! It's Alexis, so whats the plan for later?

I froze, she actually texted me. I shrugged it off, and popped the collar of my jacket a tad, "I'm Harry Styles, pretty girls text me all the time" I said to myself cockily before replying.

Me: Ello! um. dinner? ill pick you up? that ok?(;

"A wink face Hazza?" Lou said, reading the text over my shoulder. I rolled my eyes "A nice touch if I do say so myself!" I said, proudly.

Alexis: Sounds good! What time? Do you need my address?

I was a little disappointed when there was no smiley, but oh well.

Me: How about 7:30, and I'll get it from the school page, but thanks(: xx

"Harry your a creep" Lou said, unlocking his car. "I'm not a creep, I'm a teacher" I said, taking a proud bow. "Perks of getting a teaching job" I said, sticking my tongue out at Lou. "Well..." Lou looked at me angrily, then focused back on the road. "Have fun on your date later!" he said, pulling up to my building. "I will" I smiled, as I got out of his car. "Remember, nothing freaky on the first date!" Lou said waiving. "But we've already kissed!" I said, winking. "What!" Lou screamed, "You didn't tell me that!" I shrugged my shoulders, and walked in the door. I stared at my closet confused, "What to wear?"
