I told Harry to make his way to my room. The walk here was already awkward enough, I didn't need Sarah to blurt that out.

I swallow down a glass of cold water to calm myself down. I warn my siblings to stay away from my room while Harry and I are studying, I give them threatening glares before leaving them settled down watching TV.

I find Harry sitting on the edge of my bed with the books piled up beside him, "I'm just going to get changed, you can make yourself comfortable" I say.

"Okay, thanks" he shrugs. I go to the bathroom and remove my make-up, I pull on a sweater and a pair of leggings as I let my hair out, it dangles down just above my hips. I walk out into my bedroom but Harry isn't here.

I hear someone talking just outside my door, it sounds like Freya...and Harry!

Oh God, No! My siblings are probably exploiting my embarrassing secrets to him right now.

"So Freya, who was that boy you mentioned that your sister likes?" I hear Harry question, Freya babbles on about some guy that I crushed on in like 7th grade. I let out a sigh of relief and start to sort the books out, Harry should probably take half of the books with him just to revise and I'll keep the other half.

My door opens and Harry walks in, I look up and find him peering at me with wide eyes.

"How was your little conversation with my sister?" he doesn't reply he just stands there, his green eyes boring into mine and that's when I notice.

I scrunch my nose, straightening my glasses up before taking them off chuckling "Oh these, um I need to wear them when I'm studying" I hold the giant glasses out in front of me.

"No no, I'm just surprised I didn't know you wore glasses" he assures me smiling "and plus you look cute with them enormous lenses taking up half your face" he smirks taking a seat from across me.

I get butterflies in my stomach, why does his little compliments have this effect on me? "um..thank you" I stutter.

A few hours go by and Harry is still surprisingly sensible and co-operative as I go through each topic with him. "So yeah, if you read through section B1 of Chemistry, we'll go over it tomorrow" I instruct him, he groans rubbing his face with his giant hands.

I can see this is stressing him out. "Harry, don't worry we'll get through it" he looks up and smiles at me "thanks Jas, um I mean Jasmin.." he clamoures.

"No it's ok Jas is fine, I prefer Jas" I give him a reassuring smile and start to gather the notes up.

So we decide that every day after school we'll either do the lessons at my house or Harry's house and during the weekends we'll try and fit some lessons in too if we're free. Harry and I exchange numbers because he says that he might need to call me if he forgot the chemical equations for Chemistry.

I unlock my phone and wait for him to give his number. Suddenly I squint my eyes as I feel a flash. I look up and find Harry grinning.

"Excuse me?" I question crossing my arms against my chest "what? I need a picture to save with your number" he chirps. As he tucks his phone away in his pocket I also snap a quick picture of him making him laugh.

He's so goofy, I guess it won't be so bad tutoring him but there's something about him that has me on my toes, being around him has me on edge.  "Well then..I better get going" he announces awakening me from my thoughts.

We walk down the stairs and stand beside the front door. "Who is this?" a voice questions from behind us.

Oh no.

I find my mum cradling Sarah on one hip and looking at me in confusion, "Oh mum, this is Harry, I'm err...tutoring him because um..." I bellow.

 "She's tutoring me for extra credit Mrs.Oakley, I hope it's okay that I'll be coming around more often for the lessons, I assure you I won't be any trouble" Harry chimes with bright eyes at my mum.

There's no way she's going to believe that but her frown soon curves upwards, I was wrong. Harry's charm got my mum restrained, "Of course dear, that's fine" she smiles at Harry.

 "Jasmin, next time I need you to inform me about things like this so I'm aware that we will be having a visitor" she encounters still smiling.

I open the door and I follow Harry out onto the porch, "God, I can't thank you enough I thought I was done for!" I exclaim pulling the ends of my sleeves down trying to keep myself warm.

"Are you cold?" Harry asks, It's like he didn't even hear what I just said "Uh, What? yeah...I mean no don't worry I will be getting inside soon, I just wanted to thank you" I jeer.

"Oh it's no problem, your mum's really nice" he continues "i'll see you tomorrow then at school?" "Yeah okay" I smile.

We stand there on the porch for a few seconds just taking in the moment, it wasn't awkward it was just nice... I guess staring at him.

He smiles at me popping his dimples out causing my smile to widen even more. "Harry!" a voice came squealing through the front window of the living room, Oh Lord.

Sarah has been watching us this entire time, she has her face squished against the glass window and is now waving at Harry. "Bye Harry!" she says again waving her chubby hands around the entire window.

 "Oh um bye, Sarah!" he waves at back and captivates her with silly faces causing her to laugh so hard she falls back onto the sofa no longer in view.

He chuckles "she's such a cutie" before turning around to face me again. He catches me beaming at him and our eyes lock. He steps closer, my heart beat raises. His shimmering green eyes bore into mines. I gulp, he is inches away from my face and I can feel his breath fanning against my cheek.

What's happening?

Suddenly he lets out a snort and my eyes widen, "see you tomorrow" he chirps and walks down the wooden stairs towards the road. What just happened?!
