The Upperclassman

Chapter 1

The school day is coming close to an end. On cold winter days like this, I look forward to getting home more than usual. Maybe it's because the cold weather makes me dreary and drowsy. Or maybe it's simply because I have much better things to do than watch Emily Birch and her boyfriend Tyler Posey suck face in the middle of biology class. Even though we are learning about heredity and genetics and how humans are made, we don't need a demonstration in the middle of class. Honestly, the people in my school need a lesson in modesty.

Mr. Walters turns around after writing down the steps of using a Punnett Square. "Mr. Posey and Miss Birch, I would gladly appreciate it if you entangled yourselves from each other during my class and at least wait to express your affection on your own ti..." Our teacher was cut off by the bell.

I hurriedly collected my things and headed for the door. In my rush down the stairs to the exit, I bumped into a figure, mentally screaming when I noticed who it was. Standing before me was Harry Styles, captain of the hockey team and the most beautiful human being I had ever seen. "Woah there sophomore, be careful. Don't want you falling, right?" I stood there, shocked to say at the least at the fact that he'd even acknowledge me. "Yeah... uhm... I'm sorry." I turned and raced out of the door. My heart was beating so fast, I thought it would burst. He looked amazing as always in his hockey jersey and skinny jeans. His lush chocolate locks were not cascading down his forehead today but pulled back with a headband.

The memory of me crashing into him played through my brain as I got to the corner to wait for my mother to pick me up. I just realized how cold the day was and started to rethink my choice of wearing a dress. I looked down at my phone to see my best friends Lola and Chandler had started up our group chat. I was reading through about how Lola had a run in with her ex-boyfriend, Ryan, while she was with her current boyfriend, Michael. Chandler 's boyfriend, Calum, Michael, their friend Ashton, and my brother Luke were all in a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. Luke was also on the hockey team with Harry but I never brought up my crush around him.

As I was just standing there, I heard a car pull up. A beautiful, newly waxed black Chevrolet Camaro revved it's engine. The passenger side window rolled down to show to driver. I started shaking when I realized it was the same gorgeous boy I had practically body slammed into not 10 minutes ago. "It's pretty cold, isn't it? " he called out. I nodded, afraid that if I spoke I wouldn't be able to produce noises. Harry let out a chuckle before looking me up and down. "You know, you look good in a dress," he spoke leaving me flustered. He laughed once more seeing I was at a loss for words before winking and speeding off in his sleek car. I knew who I needed to tell about this.

Message to: Chandler and Lola
"You'll never guess who just flirted with me...."

Message from: Lola
Who? Conor? What'd he say?

Message to Lola and Chandler:

"Hell no not Conor"

Conor was this boy who we used to mess with and tell him he used to look like Jack Barakat from All Time Low. He seriously looked like he could be his little brother. All we wanted was to befriend him, but he must've thought we were weird. At least, that's what he told all his friends.

Message from Chandler:
Who then? I'm outta guesses lol

To Lola and Chandler:
Harry... The Harry that plays hockey with my brother

From Lola:
NO WAY!! What'd you do?

To Lola and Chandler:
I looked like a fool.. So embarrassing...

I heard my mom's car honk.

To Lola and Chandler:
Come over later... The boys have to practice anyways and we can go to the hockey game afterwards, ok?

I still couldn't believe what just happened...
