Mistletoe Deadline

Five|Do you hear what I hear?


7 December 2018
9 Days left in Operation Mistletoe

I just couldn't seem to concentrate. My large pile of novels for British literature was piled in front of me half of them with post its and flags sticking out of them but I couldn't figure out what I was going to do. Finals were in less than a week, and my severe procrastination was catching up to me. I had spent more time in the last three nights staring at pictures of Stefan's abs and cheering on Bonnie than I had read through the massive pile of books I was supposed to have read during the semester.

Picking at the half-eaten burger in front of me I attempted to scan another page of Great Expectations wracking my brain for anything that I might remember from high school. General education requirements were going to be the death of me, but my parents were going to be expecting stellar grades this semester. Our entire deal depended on it, if I got good grades, then I'd get to study what I wanted. Otherwise, I was stuck trying to find something practical or paying for it by myself.

"So who's better Tom Cruise or Arnold Schwarzenegger?" Came the question to the right of me in a cheerful grumble.

Looking up I saw Harry's chin propped on his hand staring at me with a playful grin.

"I'm sorry?" I asked confused as to what was going on.

"It was my turn in that truth game. So who is better?"

I probably looked stupid for the thirty seconds that I was staring blankly at him while my mind reeled slightly. Apparently twenty-four hours later we had gone back to dorky Harry, and I didn't know how to respond. Were we going to talk about what went on yesterday or the fact we still hadn't talked about the one actual kiss?

"Um, Cruise?" I answered lamely as Harry stole some of my fries sticking them into his mouth. "So we're talking again?"
This just earned another shrug from Harry as he reached over and grabbed the book in front of me. He peered at the cover for a moment before giving me an incredulous look.

"Dickens?"

"It's for school," I muttered grabbing it back from him.

"We never did cover that," Harry mused, "So you're at Yale I'm assuming?"

"Yes, I am," I stated unsure if I should just ignore him.

"Me too," Harry stated causing me to give him a surprised look. "Oh don't look at me like that I'm smarter than I look."

"What are you studying?" I asked as I picked at my fries now too.

"Business," Harry stated blandly.

"Is that what you want to study?" I asked picking up on his tone.

"Not at all." He barked out with a laugh. "Now what is the Dickens reading co-ed studying?"

"Music," I stated plainly earning a curious look from Harry with something else that seemed like jealousy.

"Music," He repeated, "Anything in particular?"

"Composition and vocal performance." I stated leaning across the table, "Are you into music?"

"Isn't everyone?" Harry replied with a shrug.
"Well, I suppose they are but.."
"I dabble," Harry stated with a wave of his hand like he wanted to end the conversation.

With a shrug of my shoulders, I sat back in my chair peering at Harry. He was someone I just couldn't figure out he was hot and then cold, smooth and then awkward and it was like he switched moods on the flip of a coin.

"So Mr business major what are you going to do with your degree?" I asked pretentiously trying to make a joke.

Instead, Harry's face just darkened for a second before he shrugged and mirrored my posture, "dunno, something." Came his reply.

"Anyways I came over to ask you if you and your blonde friend wanted to come ice skating tonight with a couple of friends and me?" Harry asked a smirk on his face.

"Oh so now we're friends?" I asked trying to get something, anything, out of him about what was going on between us.

"Aren't we?" He said with a shrug.

"Friends don't kiss," I stated trying to steer the conversation.

"Well, then I guess I won't kiss you again." Harry said with a smirk before getting up and grabbing my notebook, "that is unless you want me to."

Leaving me once again gaping after him Harry gave me a wink and strode off towards the store. Looking down at the paper in front of me there was merely a phone number with a short note 'In case you want to come tonight x H.'


Notes

So this is the baby chapter but the next two need to go up together so double update :)

I also just realised that I mislabeled the dates for the last two chapters. But the site isn't letting me edit them (apparently it's just crashing instead) so in the effort for not having to re-upload the previous two chapters just to change the date

Chapter 3 happened Wednesday December 5
Chapter 4 happened Thursday December 6
And this chapter is appropriately labelled as the 7th :)

Also like we get to know more about Harry 0.0
