Miss Masquerade

Maria's POV

"Hey Maria," I hear as soon as I step out the door of my house. "Wanna walk to school with me?" I see Harry running across the lawn, waving frantically as he yells. He finally makes it to me, panting heavily.

"Remind me to buy some fence wood," I say and laugh. Harry gasps in fake hurt. "Sure, I'll walk to school with you." Harry grins.

As we walk, we don't talk. It's kind of awkward. I run my arm up and down, a little uncomfortable.

"Listen," Harry says. His curls cover his eyes, and the shadow of the brown curls dance over his face. "I don't want things to be awkward between us because of...you know. Lets just be normal, yeah?"

"Define normal," I retort.

"Well-"

"it's a rhetorical question, Harry." I stare at the ground as we turn a corner. "It's not meant to be answered."

"Oh," he says.

Suddenly, All Of Me by John Legend rings through my head. I start humming the tune. Harry looks at me curiously.

"I love that song," he says, showing his dimples to me. I smile back at him.

"Well, Mr.Popstar, sing it for me," I say, watching him, expectantly. Harry shakes his head.

"Maybe another time, it looks like we've reached our destination," Harry mocks a GPS. I look to my right and I do see our school.

"See you later," Harry says as he walks over to his friends. I wave shyly and open up my backpack. I pull out my little notebook and pen, searching for a good place to write.

I find a tree, healthy and strong, and sit on the green grass under it. Then I let the pen do its work.
