Moksha's Love Story

CHAPTER 5

After winter break it was time to start the second semester of Oxford. I'm super excited because I chose pretty chill classes so I can really sit back and hang out with more people. Over winter break I mainly hung out the girls and saw my mom for a few days too. We also hung out with Akili more and it got less and less awkward every time. I think we're actually starting to become actual friends. I also noticed him and Anna being all secretive together and flirting?? so maybe that will become a thing. Who knows? What I was really thinking about though was Harry. He said he would talk to me when I got back but I haven't given him a time yet. I think I'll wait a couple of days to get settled first and then tell him. 

"Moksha, come on. How could you not know who Harry Styles is?" Danny said laughing at me. She was helping me lift my suitcase up to my room. 

"I don't knowwwww I'm just not as in touch with my pop culture knowledge than you ok?" I replied. And truly I don't know how I completely missed the fact that I was going on a date with THE Harry Styles. It was weird though. When I met him he was so normal that it's almost hard to believe that he is as big as everyone says he is. 

Just then Peyton came up in the doorway, put his arm around Danny and gave her a kiss. I rolled my eyes and said hi. 

"Ok please get a room that's not mine," I said.

"Hey, do you wanna know something funny? Moksha didn't know who Harry Styles was when she met him." Danny said.

"What? No way." Peyton said.

"How do you even know him anyways?" Danny asked.

"Well when we were boys we were in the same futball league and then we became really close. But then we realized that we weren't that great at it so we convinced our parents to put us in music lessons. I chose piano and he chose the drums. He was always really talented so when he went on the X Factor I knew he was going to do well so we made a pact to stay in touch." 

"Did you ever get to meet the rest of the one direction people?" 

"Oh yeah. Well everytime we hung out we made it very low key so that we could just catch up and keep my name under the rug. But I met all of them once together and then Niall and Louis alone a couple of other times. They're cool. The whole band is really nice. They also are really careful about their privacy too which is really cool to see. Oh by the way. Harry told me about your date. He said it went really well but you guys have an interesting conversation coming up?" Peyton said.

"Oh yeah. So because I was stupid and didn't know he was fucking famous so I think that's what he's talking about. I'm supposed to text him when I want to talk about it." I said 

"Yeah you should do that soon. Ok wait I forgot that I left my bag downstairs. Peyton can you come with me?" Danny said and then they left.

I decided to use this moment to text back Harry. 

Hey sorry I haven't gotten back to you in a while. Life's been busy. Can I come over tomorrow night? 

Apparently, since he and Peyton were such good friends and Peyton would be really busy with school, he got an apartment up here to stay in when they hung out. 

Yeah of course, I'll pick you up at your dorm at 8? We can get dinner

Yeah that sounds great. see you then :)

I was doing some cleaning when Harry texted me that he was outside. I walked downstairs and he was there standing against his car and he smiled when he saw me.

"Hey" he said while giving me a hug. He always ha this scent that for lack of better terms smelled clean. 

We were on our way to his apartment and caught up. We fell so easily back into jokes and conversations that I almost forgot about what we had ahead of us.
