Always.
Court.
“What it would be like to be young and in love again. Quite a shame really, that they don’t see what they both have right in front of them.”
I left after that.
I needed to anyway because I had practice. I left Harry a note saying I was sorry I didn’t stay. He looked to peaceful in his sleep to wake him up and not feel guilty about it.
Saturdays practice didn’t turn out to be half bad, or bad at all really. The band actually did really good and Ashton didn’t have his normal issues with timing.
After some of us hung out. We didn’t know what to do at first so we just went and grabbed one of the booths at McDonald’s and squeezed us all in. Some of us ate there, then some of us, like me, bought some subway because McDonalds is not good for you.
It was me, Danielle, Ashton, Luke, Niall, Megan, and Nicole. It was almost surprising when Niall decided that he wanted to come with us, since he never had before. He’s always so quiet but on Saturday he was so sweet and really funny. We sat at McDonald’s for hour just laughing our asses off and I swore they were going to kick us out. Later we just went to a park together and saw a movie that night. It has been a while since we have hung out together and it’s our last year to do it, so we promised we would again.
Sunday, we went ice skating. It was honestly the scariest thing I have ever done. First I was skating with Louis and trying to hold on to his arm but he was complete shit at skating and fell more than I did so I held onto Liam’s arm for dear life until he made me let go and try it by myself. I think I was skating for a good five seconds until I tried to stop before I hit the wall and just fell on my ass.
Overall it was a fun weekend, one of the best I’ve had that involved hanging out with actual people.
As the week went on, Harry and I were pretty normal and it was nice and I hadn’t realized how much I had missed it. I had put the things his parents had said about us in the back of my mind. I couldn’t be clouded with too many thoughts.
I also began hanging out with Niall a lot this week and figured out he’s in my Spanish class but sits in the back and on the opposite side. I don’t usually look around during class because I’m focusing on not failing, and I know that if I don’t pay attention for a minute, I’ll get called on and not be able to answer the question. But I felt so fucking badly when we walked in at the same time on Monday and we talked a bit before he sat down. But we did end up eating lunch at the same table for the rest of the week.
As I walked down the halls to go home on Friday, I noticed all the posters around the school for Spirit Week. Was it really almost October already? When they said my senior year would go by quickly, I didn’t think they were serious. I knew they were voting for court on Thursday and Friday during lunch, but I’ve never been who is in to all of that.
I check the picture on my phone that I took and today is pajama day. Whoever thought of putting pajama day on Monday is a genius, honestly. I usually wear shorts but I decided to put on some actually pajamas bottom that could probably be worn as pants I’m not even going to lie. Then I wore my gray t-shirt that I wear way too often and tied the bottom so there was a knot on the side and it wasn’t as loose fitting.
For my shoes I just wore my Keds and put a gray wrap in my hair and put it in a side braid have been.
When I get to school, half of the people look like they literally just rolled out of bed. I thought I was being lazy.
In my Psychology, Mitchell gave us extra credit for participating in Spirit week. He counted all of us before the Monday morning announcements began.
Señora Herrera also gave us extra credit point for spirit week and at the end of the day when they gave the special spirit week announcements it was announced that the seniors had the most point for the day, go figure. We had ended gym early for them and we were all waiting in the gym until the bell rang when the girl over the intercom, I think it was Kerry Michaels, but that’s not important.
“For the last announcement, some of you may see a member of StuCo standing in your class with envelopes. They will give these out to the students chosen for homecoming court. Congratulation to everyone. And don’t forget that tomorrow is twin day.” She says before the intercom cuts out.
Nobody talks when she is finished, and they all watch the girl with the envelopes in hand walk toward the bleacher. I sit down next to Kylie, she’s in band too, and some of her friends who are really sweet but super athletic and it makes me feel like a weakling.
She starts by walking up the bleachers and hands an envelope to a guy named Shawn. He thank her and his friends around him pat his back and the rest of us clap. Then she walks over to the group of girls I’m sitting with and looks at us all before she hands the envelope to the person I never ever thought would be a nominee for homecoming queen… Me.
I let out a breath of shock and grabbed the envelope with my hand. She congratulated me and I thanked her before she began walking again with one envelope left. The class clapped and whistled and it was weird to think they did that for me.
“Open it. See who was nominated with you.” Kylie says and I do.
I open the flap and pull out the card. When I open it, my eyes widen before everyone cheers again. This time I look over and see Harry standing with his friends all patting him on the back.
“God, he is so hot.” One of the girls beside me says and we all look at her. It’s like the realization that she said that aloud hits her as her eyes widen and she looks at all of us. “It’s true.” She mutters.
“Well,” Kylie says, snatching the envelope from my hand. “Looks like someone here is lucky.” She says. “She’s with Harry.”
The girls “oo’d” and I started blushing and snatched the card back. “Alright. It’s no big deal.” I shake my head and put the letter in my bag.
The bell rings and I stand and gather my things and start to head out of the gym.
“Kelly.” Harry called when I reached the doors and he caught up with me and we continued walking.
“Congratulations.” He said.
“Thank you, you too.” I say, walking toward my locker to grab my books.
“Are you dressing up tomorrow?”
I thought about it as I shut my locker. “Uh, twin day… Not as of right now, though no.”
“Right, uh. Well, Caroline is being a twin with the other cheerleaders, so me, the guys, and Perrie are all going to match.”
“Oh, yea?” We walk out of the high school and toward the parking lot.
“Yea, not sure what we’re doing yet, but we’re gonna do a group chat. You want to be twins with us… or uh- sextuplets?” he laughed.
“Alright. Just tell me or text me. I’ll see you later.” I say waving and walking toward my car.
“Bye Kel.”
I got home and worked on some chemistry homework and started writing my narrative paper when I got a text.
From Perrie:
Does everyone have blue jeans?
To Perrie and 4 others:
Yea.
From Harry:
What the hell are blue jeans?
I laughed at Harry’s text because I can’t remember the last time he wore blue jeans.
From Louis:
Mr. Badass over here, too good for blue jeans.
From Liam:
Harry, you actually ruin everything.
From Perrie:
And I think you have skinnier legs than all of us. If you borrowed them, they’d just fall off ya.
From Zayn:
I wanted black jeans anyway.
From Louis:
Kelly, did you leave? She hates us you guys. We didn’t give her enough time to get used to us.
From Liam:
Way to go Lou.
I can’t help but laugh at the whole conversation.
From Louis:
Me?!
From Perrie:
She likes me.
From Harry:
She likes me.
From Liam:
She likes me.
From Zayn:
I don’t know why the fuck she wouldn’t like me.
From Louis;
Shit.
From Harry:
What if she is trying to sleep and we’re waking her?
From Louis:
Shit.
To Louis and 4 others:
So what are we wearing?
From Zayn:
Bro, she didn’t deny it.
From Perrie:
Black skinnies and crop tops.
From Liam:
Fuck no.
From Harry:
I’m comfortable with my body, so.
From Louis:
Shit.
I think I waited for 20 minutes until we all finally decided what we were going to wear. Black skinny jeans, read plaid flannels, and classic converse.
I left after that.
