First Love // H.S.

'Maddie, please calm me down a little.' I let out as soon as I'm in front of Maddie in my school's hallway.

'Why? What's up?' Maddie asks confused.
'I'm home alone tonight.' I answer.
'So?' Maddie asks, more confused.
'I'm literally fucking home alone tonight!' I repeat, a little louder.

'Literally?' Maddie asks.
'Literally!' I repeat.
'Harry's coming over, and you're home alone?' Maddie asks.
'Yes, and I'm scared. I haven't been able to sleep all night because I couldn't stop overthinking everything, and I-'

'Sheesh, calm down. If there's anything you wanna know, ask me. And you might wanna lower your volume since basically everyone in this school knows Harry.' Maddie interferes.
'But what am I gonna do?' I ask panicky.
'Um, him?' Maddie answers. I groan and lean against the wall.

'You bought extra small.' I tell her then.
'I told you, it was supposed to be a joke.' She answers, giggling at herself.

'He started touching me in my back garden when I didn't give him the box.' I whisper.
'Kinky.' Maddie whispers back.
'No, embarrassing. What if Louis, Lottie or Félice walked in on us? Or my parents came home early?' I say.
'But that didn't happen. Did you like it?' Maddie answers. I sigh while moving my hands through my hair.

'I lowkey wanted him to continue, but I couldn't let him. I just wonder how he's already so good at it, not to mention the fact that I had my fucking clothes on.' I whisper quietly.
'Just imagine how it's gonna feel with the clothes off-'

'No, Maddie, stop.' I interrupt her.
'Okay, sorry. But honey, stop stressing. It's gonna be fine.' She says.
'I'm just so nervous. Secretly I'm hoping my parents cancel their date night so I won't be home alone tonight.' I tell.
'Are you sure you're ready, then?' She asks.
'Yes, I'm 100% positive I'm ready. Weren't you nervous the first time?' I ask.

'Of course I was nervous. In fact, I wanted to run away right before Dave pushed himself into me.' Maddie answers.
'So you understand how I'm feeling?' I ask.
'I totally understand how you're feeling. Just remember that all these nerves will be worth it, because after that, you can really start enjoying it.' Maddie tells. I sigh again.

'Listen, I gotta go to class.' I announce.
'Me too. Don't stress too much about tonight and pay attention in class.' Maddie says.
'I'll try. Thank you.' I answer
'No problem, babe.' Maddie says before we separate our ways.

'So, Louis, who's this mystery friend you're hanging out with tonight?' I hear mum ask when I walk downstairs at about 6PM.

'Eleanor!' I shout to them.
'A girl? Do you like her?' Mum asks while I join her and Louis in the kitchen.

'No.' Louis answers shortly.
'So you're actually hanging out with Eleanor? I was just joking.' I say.
'Yes, I'm hanging out with Eleanor.' Louis tells.
'Do you have a picture of her?' Mum asks.
'I'd like to see her too.' I say. Louis sighs and takes out his phone. After a few seconds, he shows us his phone screen, a pretty brunette girl on it.

'She's pretty.' I say.
'I know.' Louis tells.
'You like her!' Mum exclaims excitedly.
'No.' Louis answers.
'Yes.' I protest.
'No! You like Harry.' Louis says, shooting a glare at me.

'True.' I agree.
'How are things with you and Harry, Olivia?' Mum asks me.

'Good, really good.' I tell.
'That's wonderful. Is he coming over tonight?' Mum continues.
'Yes.' Louis answers for me.
'How do you know?' I ask indignantly.
'No normal teenage boy would miss an opportunity to be alone with his girlfriend.' Louis tells.
