Tuesday:
Mya’s POV:
“Mya, we need to talk!” Coraline said to me as we made our way down the street to school.

I had been talking to her about going to a concert next week and I knew something was off when she wasn’t replying with ‘OMG YES!’ or ‘Ditto’ or even ‘Shut up!’ She wasn’t replying at all. There was something on her mind and it made me curious.

“Umm, ok? Whats up?” I looked at her confused and interested.

“Don’t try and deny this because I have a sixth sense with stuff. You like Styles don’t you?” Coraline stated blankly.

I choked on my coffee and stopped walking.

“Excuse me?!” I said looking at her incredulously, once I got the ability to talk again.

“I’ve been watching and I can tell you like him, just admit it. Even though I’m not particularly fond of him, he’s growing on me. But he seems to be growing on your more...” She said taking another sip of her coffee and encouraging me to start walking again.

“I don’t like Harry...” I said back to her. Coraline raised a doubting eyebrow at me. “I don’t! I swear!” I said this time with more force, not just to convince Coraline but also myself.

“Whatever you say, Mya.” Coraline said finishing off her coffee as we stepped through the gate.

SECOND PERIOD

Man, math is boring. I looked down at my paper where I had many little doodles filling up todays margin. At least most of time I have Roxanne to entertain me, who sits next to me, but today she’s basically walking dead and I’m pretty sure she’s in the middle of a nap right now. How she never gets caught, I’ll never know.

I started to doodle a cartoon boy and it wasn’t until I was finishing the shoes when I realised that I drew this little man with a head full of curly hair.... Now I’m really glad Roxanne’s asleep.

I quickly scribbled over the whole thing and shook my head. I don’t like Harry, I just spend to much time with him so he’s just in the back of my brain.... Yes! That’s it! That’s why I drew in my math book... I think...

As the bell rang I ran a hand through my hair and poked Roxanne with my pencil until she got up, luckily not getting caught by Mr Percy.

She groaned but got up all the same as I rolled my eyes making our way to lunch.

Harry’s POV:

I felt my phone buzz against my pocket as I listened to Mrs Marley explain the class topic to us in extraneous detail. I glanced at Ms just to see if she was looking at the class but she was still reading the same paper she started with 10 minuets ago, so it was safe to say she wouldn't notice me checking my phone.

‘Haz I need you. Melissa just asked me out on a date and I don’t know what to do. You need to help me! -Z’

I replied: ‘Look we’ll discuss it at the end of this period, recess? -H’

‘Sure mate, see you then -Z’

Wonder who Melissa is...

RECESS

I had my books under my arm and was heading in the direction of the lads.

“So, what’s up?” I asked, taking a seat on the metal seat which was connected to a table.

“Zayn got a date with some bird called Melissa...and he is not very keen on her...” Niall answered.

“So we were thinking he took take someone else-” Louis smiled.

“Like a double date.” Liam finished his sentence.

“I’ll go if you want?” I offered.

“Really?” Zayn smiled, I nodded, “Thanks man!” He hugged me.

“No worries.” I smiled.

“Now, who to take?” Liam smirked.

“I think we all know that answer...” Niall laughed, making everyone laugh as well.

“I just hope she will say yes...” I whispered.

AFTERNOON

I was waiting outside the school front gate for Mya and Coraline. I was a little nervous about asking Mya to ‘accompany’ me on the double date cause I was afraid of rejection. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realise that Mya and Coraline were now standing next to me talking about some YouTuber.

“Ready to go?” I smiled.

“Why you so happy Styles?” Coraline asked.

“No reason...” I replied.

“K...let’s go before I turn eighty.” She started walking.

For once, we actually all got along for the trip home. We were all laughing and smiling, just how I would have wanted it to be from day one. But I know that both girls are still a bit iffy about me. And I don’t mind it, I mean, its fun banter and life would be boring without it.

Coraline was laughing from a joke Mya said, “Well this is my stop.” She smiled.

“Bye hun.” Mya smiled and gave her a hug.

“See you.” I smiled, she started to walk away, “Hey!” I yelled, making her turn around, “Don’t I get a hug?”

“I would have to get a life saving injection if I did.” She smirked and continued walking.

“Ouch.” I laughed and continued walking with Mya.

“Harry?” Mya asked.

“Yeah babe?” I smiled.

“You seem...off...” She kicked a stone from the foot path.

“Why would you say that?” I awkwardly scratched the back of my neck. A habit I do when I’m nervous.

“I don’t know, you don’t seem yourself...” She shrugged.

“Actually I’ve been meaning to ask you something.” I turned around, grabbed both of her arms, to her stop walking.

“What ever it is we gotta hurry, I have a tonne of science work to do!” Mya sighed.

“Well Zayn is going out for a date with some girl called Melissa-” I started.

“MELISSA!????” Mya asked shocked.

“Yeah...” I was confused.

“Shit-” Mya swore.

“Huh?” I asked.

“Never mind, continue.” She nodded.

“And so Zayn didn’t wanna go by himself, so Lou had the idea of going on a double date.” I looked at her.

“And-” She wanted me to continue.

“I volunteered to go with him and I need a date... So Mya would you-” I was finally about to ask her.

“Help you? Of course! OH MY GOSH I HAVE A PERFECT DATE FOR YOU TO TAKE!” Mya smiled excited.

Bollocks, that wasn’t suppose to happen!

“Huh?” I asked shocked, “No, but-” I objected.

“She will totally wanna go out on a date with you, I will text her now.” Mya smiled.

This was NOT the plan.

“Great.” I sarcastically said.

“Come on!” She smiled, grabbing my hand and dragging me to walk.

LATER THAT NIGHT

It was about seven and I was getting ready for my date. Apparently Mya set Millie and I up on a date, to Nandos, with Zayn and Melissa....great. I mean Millie from what I can tell is a fab babe but I really wanted to go with Mya...not having very good luck am I?

I put on a Jack Wills purple hood, my cream chinos and tied up my converse and walked down stairs to find Mya sitting on the couch, watching Home and Away. She was chilling in her giraffe onesie eating what looked like caramel popcorn.

“Hey.” I smiled as I looked at her. God she looked cute.

“Hey,” she turned her head towards me and back at the t.v, “Wait, your not wearing that are you?”

“Why?” I frowned.

“You look too casual...” She replies standing up and walking towards me, “At least wear a nice shirt!”

“We are going to Nandos for christ sake!” I argued.

“Its a date, not a hang out with the flipping boys!” She argued back.

“Who cares!” I answered.

“Stop being such a pain in the ass,” She sighed and then became more calm, “Just put on a flannel or something.”

“Whatever...” I replied walking back upstairs.

I rummaged through my washing basket and found a flannel shirt, I button it up and walked back down stairs, hoping Mya wouldn’t chop my head off.

“Better?” I asked her, standing on the last step.

“No! Not like that!” She sighed, “Put on a white tee, and come back with the flannel.”

“So much effort, you might as well go on the date with Millie.” I said to myself.

“What?” She frowned.

“Nothing babe.” I replied walking back up the stair for the third time. I put on a simple white teeshirt and walked back down the stairs with the flannel shirt in my hand.

She approached me, took the flannel out of my hand and told me to put my arms out.

“Fun fact Harold,” She smirked at me, “I dabble in fashion and beauty...so trust me.”

She had me put the flannel on top of the white teeshirt and left it unbuttoned, making it look like a jacket. She then rolled up the sleeves half way up my arm and I put my arms back down beside me.

“Perfect.” She smiled as she looked me in the eye. I couldn’t help but smile too.

I walked to the mirror that stood near the front door and looked at what she had done to me. I must admit, it look casual but kinda stylish at the same time.

“Your welcome.” She smiled, behind me and went back to the couch, “So how are you going to get there?”

“I'm taking a ride with Zayn, Melissa and Millie.” I answered.

“Well I would say take our car but you know jack shit as to where you are going.” She replied, pealing her face away from the t.v

“CAR?!” I asked, shocked, “All this time walking to school and you have a freakin car!!!”

She laughed, “Must have slipped my mind...anyways we live a block away from school, exercise will does us well.”

*BEEP BEEP*

“Well its looks like I gotta go.” I told Mya, “Tell Libby I will be back about nine-ish.”

Mya nodded and walked to the small table, near the front door that had keys, a pair of glasses on there and a wallet.

“Here, take this.” She said giving my a fifty dollar note.

“What?-” I asked, that was like a hundred U.K pounds.

“Libby would have given you it anyways... if she was here...” Mya sighed, “Have fun.” She hugged me which was kinda shocking but I accepted it and hugged back.

“See you later.” I smiled, opening the wooden door and closing it behind me.

“OI MAN?! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!” Zayn yelled from his car.

“Uh, couldn’t fine my phone...” I lied, hopped into the car and sat next to a very excited Millie.

“Hey Harry.” She smiled.

“Hey babe.” I smiled and buckled in when Zayn started the car again.

I could see Zayn in the drivers seat with who would have to be Melissa in the passenger seat.

“So Harry,” Melissa started, “Just saying how nice it is to see new people from different countries in our school.”

“Yea, its nice change.” I replied nicely back.

“So what’s it like to live in France?” She asked.

“Um, I wouldn’t know...we are from England...” I laughed slightly.

“Oh, well I mean Europe.” She smiled unsurely.

Millie, Zayn and I started laughing again, “Um, its cold.”

Melissa wasn’t really sure why we were laughing so she just went with it, “I would imagine.” She smiled.

I leaned forward in my chair so I could reach Zayn’s in front of me.

“Great catch mate.” I whispered in his ear laughing.

“Leave it Harry,” Zayn smiled slightly.

“So Zayn, how do you know where you are going?” I asked him.

“Melissa is telling me the directions.” He replied.

Zayn and I started laughing as if it was our own private joke...

“I wouldn’t count on her mate.” Millie said to herself, but it was loud enough for me to hear.

I smiled slightly, maybe this would be a pretty fun date.

“Um Zayn?” Millie said leaning forward in between the two front seats.

“Yeah?” He said not moving his eyes from the road.

“Where are we?” She said with a slight crease in between her eyebrows.

“I don’t know, I’m following the directions Melissa's giving me...” Melissa’s answer was a flick of her straight ombre hair. I rolled my eyes at her.

“Look, why don’t I sit in the front and tell Zayn the directions?” Millie asked.

“But-” Melissa argued.

“Its sorted then, Millie, your going in the front.” Zayn agreed.

Zayn drove the car to a curb and Melissa and Millie changed seats... earning a dirty from Melissa.

“It’s okay,” Melissa smiled, buckling up her seat belt, “I can talk to Harry more.”

“Lucky me...” I sarcastically replied but smiled politely.

“Okay so instead of going south we were going north so if we turn down this road...” Millie spoke out loud looking at the street names, “We should be on the road to Nandos,” She smiled, “We just keep going straight and we should be there.”

TEN AWKWARD MINUTES LATER (STILL HARRY’S POV):

“Finally we are here!” I sighed, “Took ya flipping time.” I whispered the last part.

“I’m so gonna get a steak!” Melissa smiled, Millie started laughing, “What’s your problem?!?!”

“Nothing, you’re the one with the problem...” Millie replied...Zayn snorted.

“Um, love, you can’t get steak at Nandos, its only chicken...” I awkwardly told her.

“Oh...” She innocently replied.

“Okay its cold and I wanna eat, can we please go inside?” Zayn asked, placing his hands in his pockets.

“Good idea.” Millie smiled agreeing with him.

We walked through the automatic doors feeling quite dramatic. We walked up the cashier counter to look at the menu which was above it.

“I think I’m going to get the Fresh Garden Salad, I’m on a new diet.” Melissa decided.

“What happened to your steak?” Millie mocked Melissa.

“They don’t sell it here, its just chicken...god.” Melissa retorted.

“Yea, after we told you...okay, changing the subject, I’m going to get...Supremo Chicken Burger with Cheese & Bacon.”

“Good choice!” Zayn agreed.

“I’mma just go with usual Classic burger, hot.” I added.

“I’ll get the same, but extra hot.” Zayn asked.

All of our food was served and we found a table at the back of the restaurant.

I saw Melissa wrinkle her nose slightly as the rest of us picked up and bite into our burgers. I resisted rolling my eyes I don’t even know why Zayn agreed to go out with her.

“You never realise how hungry you are until you take the first bite...” Millie laughed.

I thought it was funny but obviously Melissa was too high and mighty and just huffed in annoyance.

I don’t get why Zayn wanted to go out with this chick.

I kicked his leg under the table to get his attention, and gave him a questioning eyebrow when I caught his eye. He only shrugged in response.

The table was quiet as we all dug into our food, but as we got partly way through the meal the silence got slightly awkward.

“So, um Melissa was telling how she was on the school dance team and they have a comp coming up not this weekend but the one after.” Zayn said trying to break some of the tension.

“Really?” I asked faking interest so I seemed nice.

“Yeah, its a contemporary routine we’ve only been working on a couple weeks, but we still should place.” Melissa said flicking her hair slightly.

“Yeah we’re all gonna be there to watch.” Millie said smiling.

“Why?!” Melissa asked turning to her.

“Roxy’s on the team...” She said simply.

“Who?” ...Was this chick serious?!

“Roxanne Byrne, she’s been on the team since year 7, maybe you know her?” Millie asked.

“Oh yeah Byrne.” Melissa said with a look on her face as if she’d swallowed something sour. She obviously didn’t think very highly of Roxy.

“Do you think we could come?” Zayn asked.

“Yeah of course, it’d be fun having more people there for me...I mean the team.” Melissa finished with a sweet smile.

“Yeah of course thats what you meant.” Millie muttered with a smirk as Zayn and I snickered.

Melissa obviously heard because she did not look happy at all!

“You know what?” She burst out smacking her hands down the table, “I don’t have to sit through this.”

“Sit through what?” I asked trying not to laugh at the face Millie was pulling behind her.

“Her-” Melissa said turning to Millie as she blanked her face with raised eyebrows, “Making sarcastic little comments about me like I can’t hear them, and you two laughing at me.” She finished by snatching up her bag and strutting out of the restaurant.

“What the fu-” Zayn cut off himself his a sigh as he ran a hand through his hair and down his face.

He stood up, “Sorry guys I should go.” And left.

“Can you please tell me what just happened?” I asked Millie as she watched Zayn walk away from the table.

“Um, I’m not exactly sure myself-" She said turning back to me with a grimace.

“I knew I didn’t like her, makes a big deal out of everything.” I said shaking my head.

“You should see her at school,” Millie rolled her eyes, “I remember last year Roxy was telling us, how she stomped around and screamed about how she could have gotten the front spot in the dance, even though the seniors basically choreographed the whole dance. At our school Seniors are the top dogs everybody knows that, you don’t try to pick a fight with them you don’t in their way. Thats just how it is and everybody respects that because they know they’ll get their go when their a Senior, well everybody except the select few like Melissa who think their better than everybody and deserve to be raised on a pedestal. Every year has at least one of them.”

“Its like that in every school,” I say to her, “There’s always that one person that everybody just hates. Even if half of them wont admit it.”

She sighed and took another bite of her burger as I picked up a chip.

“Harry!” She said suddenly, “Why did you ask me out tonight?”

Well that definitely took me by surprise.

“Well. Um. I” What was I supposed to say to her ‘oh I don’t actually like you but Mya wanted me to take you tonight’ ...NO!!!

“I see the way you look at Mya...when she’s not yelling at you that is. I can tell you really like her which surprised me when you asked.”

“I’m really sorry, I don’t know what to say, but if you knew I liked Mya why did you come with me tonight?” I said cocking my head to the side.

“Um...” Millie said her eyes quickly snapping to where Zayn was sitting and back to me.

“Oh...” I said smirking making a blush slowly makes its way onto her face from her neck.

“Please don’t tell him, I’m sorry I just thought. I don’t know what I thought. But yeah he was going to be here, but I’m obviously not his type, if he goes for girls like that.” She sighed.

“I’m still confused as to why he said yes...” I ponded.

“It doesn’t matter now, she probably won’t talk to any of us again.” Millie replied.

I shrugged as we both finished our meals in silence.

We finished and stood up.

“It was nice talking to you tonight Harry. I think being friends would be better before either of us got the wrong idea.” Millie said as we walked towards the door.

“You too Millie. I’ll put in a good word to Zayn about you if ya want.” I joked winking as her as she shoved me lightly.

We pushed pass the door and looked around but could’t find the car.

“Where’d it g- Oh crap” I said groaning.

“Bloody Zayn took the freaking car with him.” Millie grumbled.

“What’s your opinion on walking?” I asked giving a week smile.

“Not very fond, but what other option do we have?” She said as we started to walk out of the car park “Wait” she said grabbing my arm.

“What?-” but she shushed me as she pulled out her phone.

She put to her ear as it rung a few times and she spoke.

“Hey Violet...Nothing much, but I was wondering if you could do me a massive favor?...So Zayn and Melissa left early and took the car, could you be a darl and come pick me and Harry up?...Pleeeeeaaasse?...Thank you. I love you. Your the best!” She hung up with a smug smile, “Now no walking is required.”
