Harry
Dressed in a pair of Nike shorts, a black shirt and some runners, I sit in my car on my way to Kina's house. Siri telling me the directions to get there as the radio plays the Beatles 'Hey Jude' softly.
I felt a bit more energetic after sculling a red bull from Liam's fridge. Which is good as it'll help me get through this hike.
Pulling up in front of Kina's house, I recognise that it still looks the same from the many times I was stuck in the car after football training to pick Archie up with Dad.
The only thing that has changed physically is the girl who sits on the porch steps with her hair tied back, workout clothing attired to her womanly figure.
Glancing away, I focus on checking my phone notifications as she makes her way towards the car.
I suddenly feel nervous for some reason. Maybe I'm getting anxious as this is the first time I'm hanging out with her as friends. And partly because Archie may run into us too.
I'm hoping he doesn't or I'll most likely be punched in the face again and told to never hang around Kina again.
"Hey" I hear Kina's soft voice say as she hops into the car and places her water bottle into the cup holder between us.
I glance up from my phone and send her a small smile. Trying to not be so awkward.
"Hey" I murmur, placing my phone down and waiting for her to buckle in before I start driving.
Once she does, we begin our journey towards the hiking area. It's quiet for a few moments, a little tense and awkward but I notice in the corner of my eye that Kina fiddles with her phone as she purses her lips. I could tell she was trying to start conversation.
"So how are you feeling?" She asks and I glance over to her before looking back to the road.
"'m alright" I shrug a little. "How about you?"
"Great" she smiles and glances down at her phone when a message pops up. Ignoring it, she places her phone down and watches the road outside.
I feel myself struggle to find the right way to start a conversation where there won't be awkward pauses. I wouldn't say I'm not comfortable around Kina, I'm just not comfortable with myself in this situation.
Maybe I should be more like how I am when I'm around Zayn?
That seems to be a good idea. I don't entirely hate myself when I'm around him.
