Say What??
It's been 4 days and Harry and I haven't talked. Well, we did talk, when we practiced. But when the bell rang, he immediately left. Not even saying goodbye. Leaving me wonder on what the hell I did to make him act this way towards me. We have gotten closer, but after that night... It's like we went a hundred steps back.
I shook my head after I watched Harry leave class. Sighing I took my bag and went to the cafeteria to meet up with Ethan. We have gotten a lot closer, and I already consider him as one of my best friends. We kind of just clicked. His outgoing, bubbly, blunt self went nicely with my antisocial, music fanatic, book reading me.
He finally admitted he was gay yesterday but I told him I already figured it out. I laughed at the memory, remembering his shocked face and then turned to worry when asking if it was really that obvious.
I saw Ethan waiting outside and he immediately looped his arm around mine and dragged us outside, only to be met with Harry himself. He looked towards us, and slightly glared at our arms looped together, but it was so fast that I think I only imagined it. He then looked away and hopped on his motorcycle, riding to who knows where.
Ethan looked at me, raising an eyebrow
"Do you know him?"
I shook my head,
"He's just a guy who I'm partnered with in music."
If he won't acknowledge me as his friend, I won't either.
Ethan and I went to Panda Express (a Chinese fast food restaurant) for lunch. Not because the lunch at our school was horrible, at least not all the time.
But today was one of those special days that it didn't even look edible. I got a plate for Max, too. Orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, with a side of fried rice. After getting our food, we rode back to school, definitely not screaming lyrics to songs at full blast.

I finally got home after a tiring day of school. I had a pop quiz in chemistry and let's just say, I did not do well at all. I mean I can say I'm smart, but when it comes to learning anything related to science, it's like smelling the number 9.
I went straight to my room and flopped on my bed. I feel free I thought sighing in relief once I took off my bra. I felt a vibration in my back pocket and took out my smartphone. A message from Harry. What? Unlocking my phone I read the message: meet me at the park.
Damn it, I just took off my bra! Clasping it back on and changing out of my shirt to a hoodie, because it is getting quite cold, considering that it is winter. I jogged downstairs and left the house, not forgetting to lock the door on my way out.
Why does he want to talk to me now? Did he need something? I began to feel nervous, and I don't know why. He's just Harry for goodness sakes! Get it together Andrea! I saw him sitting on a bench by a tree. Somewhat far away from the playground and play field. I sat down beside him, waiting for him to speak up.
"I'm sorry."
Was the first thing that came out of his mouth. I looked at him, urging him to explain why.
"I didn't know what to do, I'm never that nice to anyone. But that's not why, I-i started feeling something that night. And I don't know what it was or what It means. But I did know I had to get the hell away, because I was scared..," he laughed slightly at that.
"So I left. I didn't want to be near you, or at least have minimum interaction because I didn't want to feel whatever I felt that night," he suddenly looked at me, taking my hand in his.
"But after seeing you with that guy, I just knew I couldn't stay away..." Harry looked at me and smiled a little.
"What I'm trying to say, is that I like you Andrea. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not." He said squeezing my hand and looking at me, waiting for a reply.
I looked at him, not a word came out of my mouth. I don't know what to say. My feelings weren't as strong as his, but they were there. His face fell, he was hurt. I felt his grip on my hand loosen and he stood up, already walking away.
I stood up quickly and jogged to him, grabbing his hand forcing him to stop.
"I don't know what I feel Harry. But there's something there, and I can't ignore that." I say, looking up at him.
And that's all it took for him to come closer and wrap his arms around me tightly, kissing the top of my head. He pulled away and smiled at me,
"Can I take you on a date?" He asked, his lips turning into a smirk. Like he already knew the answer. Confident asshole.
I decided to play with him,
"I'd rather not." With that said I turned and walked away grinning.
Not a moment later arms wrapped around me, the feeling of his lips against my ear,
"Not so fast. I'll pick you up at 5pm, not a second later!" Harry said grinning whilst kissing my hand and walking away, leaving me in a daze. Wait, what the hell just happened? I just got a date with Harry freaking Styles.
•••
It was already 4:55pm and I started to get antsy. Wondering that this was all a joke and that he wasn't actually going to come. 5:00pm the clock read making my shoulders droop and a frown etched on my face, it was all a joke. A knock was soon heard downstairs and I ran to open it. There stood Harry, looking very attractive if I must say.
"I know I'm good looking, but the least you can do is look at me," Harry chuckled winking at me. I blushed and smiled sheepishly trailing my eyes back to his.
"Oh please," I replied walking past him. I heard him laugh and the sound of the front door closing. He jogged ahead of me and opened the passenger door,
"I used my dad's car just in case you didn't want to ride on my baby," he said smiling bowing slightly,
"After you." I shook my head and smiled while getting inside.
He turned on the car and we were off, wherever he's taking me.
I turned on his music system and the song Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis started playing. I grinned bobbing my head to the music while quietly singing along. I heard Harry laugh, his dimples forming and I smiled at him widely.
"I love this song," I told him.
"I can tell," he replied grinning and taking my hand in his. Looking back at the road, his dimples still there.
And I think that was when I started to fall for him.
