Harry was so confusing. Really, I couldn't keep him straight. One minute, we were joking around and having a nice conversation, then next, he was short and cold. I just don't get it.
His mood changes give me headaches.
I really just thought I would better understand him by now. We've been friends for awhile now, and we've gotten pretty close. Actually, we've gotten closer than I thought we ever would.
I never expected any of this to really happen. When I suggested we be friends, I thought he would give it a fair go in the beginning, and eventually we would drift our own ways. But it has been the exact opposite. When I first woke up from my accident, I swore up and down I'd be mad forever at the person that did this to me. But I can't be. Not when it's Harry.
Harry is nothing like I judged him to be. And I guess that is my fault. I made a judgement without really knowing him. And he could have been the egotistic jerk I expected him to be before the accident, but he wasn't that person anymore. In spending more time with him, I feel like I've gotten to know him inside and out.
He's got such a warm heart, and I wish he would show it more often. He is genuinely sweet and caring, and actually really thoughtful, but he plays off the bad boy act in front of everybody. I know he doesn't have a close relationship with his family, but he has a good sense of humor.
But enough about Harry. I should be focusing on Will.
I'm very excited for my date tomorrow. Will is just so perfect. I mean so perfect.
I still don't know what I'm going to wear, so Hattie told me she would facetime me after her afternoon class and help me pick out my outfit. I went up to my room and set out a couple suggestions on my bed that I think would be good for a hike.
About twenty minutes later, my phone started ringing from the dresser, a stupid picture of Hattie blowing bubble gum popping up on the screen. I grabbed the phone and pressed 'talk', my face joining hers on screen.
"Hey!" She said.
"Hi," Might as well get straight to the point. "Alright, so I have some things laid out. Tell me what you think." I walked over to the bed. "And keep in mind that we're going on a hike."
"Alright."
"So this one is like yoga pants and a pullover." I said, putting the phone up to it. "This one is like leggings and a sweater. And this last one is kind of similar to the first." I looked back to the screen, biting my lip awaiting her advice.
"Hmmm.." she said. "Well, I think the one with the sweater is really cute, but the athletic ones seem more fitting. And Pay, you can pull off the whole 'cute-athletic' thing."
"So you're saying you would go with the first or third one?"
"I mean, I like them all, but yeah."
"You're right." I said, looking again at the ones she liked. I liked them too. "I'll go with one of those."
"So are you excited or nervous." She asked, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
"A little bit of both, I guess." I said, sitting back on my bed and leaning against the wall. "I just really like him. He's perfect, Hattie."
"Oh, I believe you. You always had a way to attract the high-grade guys."
"Are you calling me a slut?" I asked, even though I knew she was joking.
"No, I'm saying guys stop and stare at you and you don't even notice."
"Well, I just hope he likes me as much as I like him."
"Don't worry your pretty little head too much. It will all work out fine."
