Chapter 3 | we fell in love in october

This chapter will be in Harry's perspective and you will need "we fell in love in october" by girl in red and when you see "***" you can start playing the song. Alright, hope you enjoy!

Today was October 5th and I didn't sleep much last night. It wasn't because I was worrying about something or anything like that, I just couldn't sleep. I don't know why. Anyways I was pretty tired but it was fine. I put on some black sweatpants and a Rolling Stones t-shirt and went downstairs for breakfast. I always had cereal in the morning. I never really liked big breakfasts with fruit and homemade waffles with eggs and bacon. I always liked to keep things simple.

Once I was done with that I brushed my teeth and grabbed my stuff then headed to Gemma's car. Gemma dropped me off at school most of the time and if she couldn't because she had an early class I would skate or bike to school. Since I don't have any friends and you can't hangout with your family 24/7 I had to pick up some of my own hobbies to keep me busy. I liked skating a lot. It was a way for me to distract myself from the world around me. I also like playing guitar, singing, and writing but no one knows except for Gemma and my mom.

I never really wanted to tell people that I can play and sing because I was scared that they were going to laugh or ask me to sing something when I didn't want to. I think you can tell that I like to keep to myself.

I got to school and had algebra first period. I hate algebra with a burning passion. I try to pay as much attention as u can but I never understand anything. Gem is good at it though so I don't know what happened to me. She always helps me when I need it but I can't get it. I don't know, maybe it's something with the teacher? I guess it's fine though because I don't even want to pursue anything that has to do with it.

Since I was 9 I've wanted to be a singer/songwriter. There's something about making a song and working on it and then finally hearing the finished product that's just so satisfying and brings me so much unexplainable joy.

After that mess of an algebra class I had english, science, then lunch. I had a bagel today. It's mostly the same everyday with a side of carrots or grapes. For the remainder of lunch I either tried to understand the algebra lesson or worked on whatever song I was writing at the moment. I had art which was one of my favorites. Today we were assigned projects and partners. The whole point is to find something in common with your partner and make art out of it. The art could be anything, like pottery, a painting, a sculpture, or anything else. And remember when I said that I wanted to get over my fear of rejection and actually make friends? Well this is the perfect opportunity because you have to spend time with your partner in order to find things in common, so i might end up getting over my fear (hopefully)! I was put with Louis Tomlinson. He was wearing grey sweatpants, a blue sweater and a black beanie.

"Hi" I said while putting out a hand for him to shake. His hands were kind of full.

He had a gatorade bottle and a pencil in one hand and his backpack in the other. "Oops" he said as his bottle of gatorade fell to the ground.

"Sorry bout that, anyways, Hey I'm Louis and you're Harry right?".

"Yeah, I'm Harry. I don't really know what to talk about, you have any ideas?" I said in an attempt to break the silence.

"Ok I'll start off. Umm do you listen to any music?" he said.

I could tell he came up with that right off the top of his head. I got really excited because I love music.

"Uh I really like this band called The Neighbourhood and I also like Fleetwood mac" I said while holding my breath hoping he wouldn't say something that would make this even more awkward.

*** "Seriously?" he said in excitement, "I love The Neighbourhood and I've only heard a few Fleetwood Mac songs and they're cool, I like them" he said.

His face immediately lit up but I couldn't get my eyes or my mind off his eyes. They were this gorgeous blue that I've never seen before. They looked like sea glass. This beautiful crystal, sea class, color that I just can't explain. They were mesmerizing to say the least.

"Wow I had no idea we would have found something in common so early." I said through a super random, non intentional chuckle.

For the rest of the period we just kept talking about music and The Neighbourhood, but something about that class was different. It wasn't the fact that I was finally making conversation with someone, but the person I was making conversation with. It was like I never wanted it to end. I wanted to keep staring into his eyes and his perfectly chiseled nose and cheekbones until the end of time. Then when we had to say goodbye something clicked, but it didn't make sense.

I- I think I have feelings for him. It has to be impossible right? I had just met this kid and now you expect me to accept the fact that I have feelings for him? I had one conversation about a band that we just happen to like and now I'm head over heels for this boy named Louis Tomlinson. Wow, even his name is beautiful. I got out my note book and started jotting down lyrics. They were just flowing out. I've never written like this before. I've never felt like this before. Are we friends or are we more? No, I-I think I'm just excited... right?

Just letting you guys know that I won't be making each chapter the same story, just in a different pov because I figured that would get a bit annoying. Yeah I hope you enjoyed!
