Or So It Seems (h.s.)

Chapter 6

[LAINY'S POV]

I opened my eyes and the sun was shining right on my face. I squinted and turned my head to look at my alarm clock. It said 7:45. Ugh.. Waking up that early on a Sunday!? I guess thats just a form of payback for not going to any of my classes yesterday.




I sat up, stretched out my arms and yawned.. that is the best feeling in the morning! Soon, i got up from my bed and went to go take my morning wee.




I heard my father's loud snoring and laughed a little to myself.




After that, I ran into my room and put on my slippers and a sweatshirt. What a good day for waffles.




Wait woah, i noticed Harry had texted me saying "Good morning! Im in the studio this morning and thats all i have planned for today if you want to meet later.. :)x"




I texted back "shoot! Ill be at Twinky's from 12 to 4.. Maybe tonight? :) xx"




I got my waffles out of the toaster and turned on the T.V. Sitting on the couch, I began to eat them.




I got all snuggled down and watched a show about elephants for a few minutes but then switched to celebrity news channel. I could not believe what i saw..




"what the..?"




On my T.V. was a photo of Harry and i at the park. Soon, it flashed to another and then another.. They were calling me the mystery girl.. And Harry Style's new girl.. "Who is it this time!?" "How long do you think he'll keep her?" "Eehh, i say a week."




This is just a huge misunderstanding! Harry and i are just friends.. We only met just yesterday.. How long will he keep me?? Is he just playing with me?




Sure, i would love to be Harry Styles' girl, i really do like him.. I just dont want to get hurt.. Im not even ready for a relationship.. at least i dont think so. After James, i feel like i can't trust anyone with my heart. I dont want to just be another one of his 'girls'. Its not Harry's fault i have trust issues, its just something i've been dealing with for awhile now..




I couldn't stand to hear anymore of the rumor.. so i shut off the T.V. and got up. I tossed the remote onto the couch and walked to the bathroom.

Before i plugged my phone into my iPod dock, i shot Harry a quick text saying,




"Hey, i need to talk to you, meet me at the Starbucks on 6th street at 5? x"




I plugged it in and turned my iPod on shuffle. Dave Matthews Band's "If Only" came on and i sighed to myself. While i waited for the shower to get hot, i turned the music up. I hopped in and began to sing to myself. So many things had happened in such a short period of time. From when Harry and i first looked at each other to now.. How did this happen!? It was all a crazy mess but it still gave me butterflies in my stomach.




What was i going to do?
