Winters in London are cold. Harry drinks tea to keep warm. Lena doesn't like that. She's much more of a coffee person, really.

He opened the door and got out of the car. "You make me sound like a monster... I'm leaving so you don't have to be around someone as horrible as me anymore." He slammed the car door shut. I stared at it for a few seconds in shock before he opened it again. "Oh and in case you are interested. I haven't slept with a single person ever since I met you. Because I am in love with you. I don't want to be with anyone but you. And that's the very first time I feel about a person like that. But apparently I'm not good enough for you." He slammed the door shut again and I watched him walk away. I was absolutely and utterly shocked. Had Harry Styles just declared his love for me? And told me that I was the only person he had ever been in love with?

There's three things you should know about Harry: 1. When we were in ninth grade his biggest aspiration in life was to start a punk ukulele band. 2. Once I made him a bracelet with plastic beads that didn't have a pattern in the slightest, and he wore it for years until the pink string holding it together couldn't take any more wear and tear. 3. He's been my neighbor for more than half my life, and that hasn't changed now that we're in college. There's three things you should know about me: 1. I'm banned from the putt putt golf course in my hometown... but that's actually Harry's fault. 2. I'm not a fan of math, but I'm good at it, which has turned into a constant battle in my head. 3. I'm not about to fall in love with my best friend. I'm not.
