"y/n." Harry approaches you at work, "Do you mind staying after our shift? I'd like to start experimenting."
"Experimenting like you'll give potions to me to see with which one I become a mutant?" You joke.
He laughs, "Yeah, sure."
"Of course I stay. We have a deal."
"Great then."

"No way this is your studio! This is awesome." You compliment, looking around the place.
"Thanks." Harry smiles, "So shall we start?"

"What about this one?" You suggest a goofy pose, making Harry laugh.
You were in his studio for about two hours now, and you wouldn't imagine that modeling could be this much fun.
"The best one yet." Harry jokingly approves. He knew from the moment you both started trying some pics that you'd be perfect for the contest. You knew how to be serious, but you had more relaxed moments as well.
"You don't know how much more relieved I am now." Harry says when you were about to leave. "Thank you for doing this, y/n."
"Sure-"
"Harry, are you here?" You're interrupted by a knock on the door and a beautiful blond girl coming inside.
"Taylor, hi." Harry smiles as he greets the girl with a hug.
"Hey." She replies with a smooth voice, then she notices you, looking up and down at you with cold blue eyes, "And who's this?" She asks apparently bothered.
"I'm y/n." You fake a smile, "And I should get going. See you at school, Harry."
"Wait, let me take you home, you must be tired-" He starts but you cut him.
"Not necessary, really, I'm fine. This was fun! Bye." You wave as you walk off the studio.
You didn't see Harry the next day at school, only when you were on your way to work and he caught you in the street.
"y/n!" He shouts, running to catch up with you, "I tried to find you at school. Why did you leave like that yesterday?"
"Oh, I think your girlfriend didn't fancy me, so." You shrug.
"My girl- You're talking about Taylor?" He asks laughing, "She's not my girlfriend. We grew up together and she always had this protective side over me... We kind of had a thing, but it was a long time ago."
"Oh, I see. Sorry for the mistake then." You laugh.
"Did you get jealous, by chance?" Harry frowns jokingly.
"Oops, you caught me." You chuckle, rolling your eyes.
You both enter Fine Line, finding Jennifer a little stressed.
"Glad you arrived, kids. It's gonna be harsh today."
"What's wrong?" You ask.
"One of the people who finances this place is coming today, and she's... how can I say... She likes to see everything absolutely neat over here." She sighs.
"Ugh, I hate that woman. We can't be like, relaxed when she comes." Harry adds.
"Well, let's get ready for her, the faster she comes and sees everything tied up, the faster she leaves, right?" You say.
"That's the spirit, y/n." Jennifer smiles, putting a hand on your shoulder.
Mrs. Blue, the financer, came and went with no trouble. She had a severe personality indeed, but you, Harry and Jennifer managed to make her happy somehow.
"She's gone!" Harry celebrates leaving the gallery section and joining you and your boss behind the cafe balcony, grabbing a hand from each one of you and raising them in the air.
Jen rolls her eyes and you laugh, thinking that the rest of your shift would be peaceful.
Until you see Zayn and Gigi coming in.
"Is everything okay?" Harry asks, noticing your mood change.
"That guy over there? He's my ex-boyfriend."
"Clearly an idiot, then." He says and you chuckle, "Want me to take care of them?"
"Thank you, but that's not necessary. I'll do it." You sigh, walking over to their table.
"y/n!" Zayn gasps when he sees you approaching, "Didn't know you work here."
"Yeah, wanted to be more independent, you know." You shrug.
"The outfit suits you." Gigi speaks, grabbing Zayn's hand over the table, who gives her a warning glare. You control your will to jump on her and pull that stupidly perfect blond hair.
"What can I get for you guys?"
"I want a caramel latte with no cream." Gigi says.
'Of course', you roll your eyes mentally.
"Just a regular coffee, please." Zayn says.
"I'll be back in a minute." You fake smile once more and head back to behind the counter.

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding when the couple leaves. You thought you were over it, but you still feel a bit anger everytime you see Zayn. How he moved on so quickly after you two broke up, and especially with one of the school queens.
"Don't know the guy, but I can tell he's a douche bag from miles." Harry says approaching you.
You laugh, "You don't need to insult him just to make me feel better."
"But it made you smile though." He winks. You blush slightly and look away.
