"I think Zayn came on to me the other night." I threw another caramel covered popcorn into my mouth.

Wienna turned to me, "What? Why are you acting cool about this?"

"Is it a big deal?" I shrugged, "I don't think he's like crazy about me but he said he was fond of me." I wiggled my brows towards Wienna.

"That's like the cutest thing ever, do you like him?"

"I don't know, I think I'm too hung up on Niall to even think about anybody else," sadly enough that was the truth. And I had no idea how to get Niall out of my head and move on. Zayn was a nice guy, he was incredibly pretty and liked me. It shouldn't even be a problem, but somehow it was.

Wienna just held an arm around me as we sat still, quiet in my bed. The day after christmas she came over and stayed the night, it was nice being just the two of us, no alcohol or boys, just us and a movie and some snacks.

It was four days until new years now, and almost two weeks till we start our last semester in high school, and I still had no clue what to do then. And Wienna was going to Columbia, she'd already gotten in touch with another girl who would be in her class, so they're renting a flat together on Manhattan, she's movin in July.

"Maybe someone else likes you?" Wienna winked at me and nodded at my phone which had the screen lit up, I glanced at it to see a notification.

harrystyles sent you a direct message!

"Ne never writes me first." I acknowledged and opened up the phone.

"There's a first for everything," Wienna hopped off my bed and went to my closet, picking out a pair of shorts to put on, "And you know what I mean with that." She gave me a top to bottom look where I laid in my bed before she strutted out of my room and down the stairs, my bet is she's hungry.

However bringing up my virginity was unneccessary. Especially when I'm on my period.

harrystyles: Our biology assignment was due on the 22nd...

Oh shit, right. I'd totally forgotten about that, mainly because Harry sometimes didn't show up to class or was late and in a bad mood. We had our notes and everything done but we hadn't written together our paper. Could I blame Harry for this?

Wienna was beyond excited for me, calling this study-coffee-break a date, which it clearly wasn't. I hadn't even considered Harry as date material, I didn't know what skeletons he hid in his closet, or why he felt the need to always call me Margaret.

Because that's the first thing he said as I entered the little café, "Hello, Margaret."

I put my computer and books down along with my notes, "Hello, Harold, do you want something?" I pointed with my thumb to the register ready to grab a coffee.

"I ordered for you." The boy responded with a smile, "Latte, extra espresso and milk?"

"Yeah," I replied as I sat down in the little armchair in front of Harry by the round table, not even asking how he knew my coffeeorder. It wasn't a complicated one, just didn't imagine Harry snapping that up after he'd joined us like twice before.
