Cal POV

"Oh Callum," says JJ in a sing-song voice as he approaches our usual table. He takes a seat opposite me, and beside Simon.

"What JJ?" I sigh, and he grins at me widely.

"I've got something for you," JJ says, handing my jacket over the table. I blush slightly, and take it from him. I'm assuming that it's Harry who's folded it neatly, since it definitely wasn't Jide. "He says that he'll see you in Chem."

"Okay," I respond, feeling slightly guilty as I unfold the jacket to drape it around my shoulders. Harry's scent still clings to the collar, and it makes my insides feel fuzzy.

"He also said sorry he can't sit with us, but he promised his mate Vikk that he would eat with him," JJ says, and I nod to him.

"I already knew that," I respond, and JJ quirks a brow at me. "He told me."

"When?" Asks JJ, seeming confused.

"We texted a bit this weekend," I admit, and JJ reaches over to pat my shoulder heartily.

"Jeez, good on you man," he says, seeming genuinely proud of me for actually talking to Harry.

"Can one of you please tell me what happened on Friday?" Pouts Simon, before muttering. "Jeez, I miss a week of school to go on holiday, and everything bloody happens then."

"You should have been there, Si. I observed their behaviour very closely, and there's no way young Harry doesn't like Cal," JJ says in a jokey accent, causing me to blush again.

"You're playing," I say dismissively, and JJ scoffs.

"I saw you two in the cinema room. Harry isn't one for physical affection, he wouldn't have let you do that if he didn't like you, at least a little bit," he says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"I suppose," I respond with a shrug. I guess what JJ is saying makes sense, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

"So come on then, I need to know. What exactly went down Friday?" Inquires Simon, seeming even more interested now.

"Well my friend, Cal and Harry were getting very close," JJ says, with a smirk. "There may of been some cheeky hand holding going on."

Simon gasps dramatically. "Hand holding before marriage? Callum, that is so unholy," he says, shaking his head. I roll my eyes at him.

"You say the stupidest shit sometimes Si," I say, a teasing edge to my tone.

He pouts at me. "Rude."

"True," I respond.

"Ladies, come on, stop bickering," JJ say, holding his hands up. "So, what's your next move Cal?"

"I don't know bro. I want to take him out again, just the two of us, but I don't know where or when. Or how to ask him," I reel off, and JJ sends me a smirk.

"Well, looks like it's a good job I organised something for you. Again." He slides two tickets across the table, and I examine them.

"Winter Wonderland?" I say, looking up at him and feeling a little confused.

"Yeah. It's his birthday on Saturday, and he told me that he's always wanted to go. I figured you would jump at the chance to take him," JJ smiles. I feel a surge of gratitude towards him. Even though I didn't ask him to, he's still trying his best to help me out with Harry.
