Chapter 5

After 8th period Harry was waiting for me outside in the parking lot. He smiled when he saw me, walking me over to his dodge challenger. He opened the door for me, I thanked him before he went into the driver's seat. 

"Ready?" He asked and I nodded, giving him directions to my place. 

"You have a really nice house." He hummed as we walked up my driveway. "Oh thank you." I giggled and unlocked my front door. 

"Mom?" I called out, walking into the kitchen to leave my keys in the bowl. "Oh, she's not here. She picked up an extra shift this morning so she'll be here around 6." I read the note and he nodded slowly.

"Waitress?" 

"No, nurse. ICU." I said and he nodded and I opened my fridge to expose my stash of fruits and veggies along with a bunch of other things. "Want anything?" "Coke." He said and I handed it to him, taking a water before leading him upstairs to my room, closing the door behind me. 

"Okay! So I've never really had anyone in here besides the dweeb squad but tada. My room." I said and he laughed, joining me on my bed after I threw my stuff on it. 

"God I need a 6 month nap." I groaned before sitting up and took my laptop out. 

"So. Mr. Styles. Do tell what ever so brought you to North Shore." "I got a letter in the mail saying I've been relocated. Lucky for me all me mates were too since we live on the same neighborhood roughly but I don't think it's all bad. I mean we've met cool people like you." 

"We met today officially." 

"We can only grow from here, darling." And there goes my heart and soul. The accent really made him 10 times hotter than he should be. I wanted him. More than anything but I knew I couldn't have him and he wasn't interested in me. 

"True statements." I hummed, drinking some of my water and he tilted his head as he looked at me. "Do you only eat fruit and drink water?" "No, my diet is horrible. I eat fruit because it makes your metabolism faster so when I get home and eat like complete shit it doesn't show too much." "But you're extremely fit. I've noticed it. The whole school has too." 

"Flattering but I don't think so." I laughed awkwardly and bit my lip as I thought about what we were going to do our project over. 

"So. What's going on in that pretty little head of yours? Ideas of projects?" "Yup. I want to do French Revolution because I can bake a cake and we can show it in for extra credit for these two portions." I pointed to the extra credit boxes on the rubrics that say that we get 5 points extra if we bring food from the time period and a prop of the cause. 

"It was caused by cake." Harry said and I nodded with a small smile as we decided on it. "Let's split it. I'll do the research paper. You're in charge of project." I said and Harry shook his head no. 

"No, we do it together. I know you're a control freak but I'm not going to give you all the work cause you're smart." He scoffed and I held my heart. 

"You think I'm a control freak. Awe that's so sweet!" I joked and he laughed, pushing me over slightly. "Stop." I squealed as I almost tipped over the bed. 

"I could've died and I would've sued!" I warned and he laughed at my stupid jokes. "How can you sue if you're dead?" "Hmm. I'll just haunt you and shake all your sodas before you drink them." I said and he gasped. 

"You monster." "Ha." I laughed, he only followed in suit as we continued to do the research on our project, flirting in between. Well I don't want to sound cocky but I feel like we have some chemistry between us I can't explain, it felt natural to flirt and almost necessary to touch him every couple minutes. 

"Harry! Stop!" I squealed as I laid on my stomach, he had exited off my screen. "You're so mean!" I pushed him back softly, laughing like an idiot when he mocked me. 

"I don't sound like that!" I said with a serious tone, he mocked of course which only made me laugh and stand up, chugging my water and throw it away. 

"Grace I'm home! Taking a nap. Wake me when dinner's ready!" Josh called from behind my closed door. 

"Okay!" I said before finishing my project and walking Harry downstairs to say bye. 

"It was fun, same time tomorrow? We can do my place again or your place or whatever's comfortable" "I can come over again since you want me here so bad." Harry joked and I rolled my eyes. 

"Bye you dork." I said as he looked down at me from his tall frame as I walked him to his car. 

"Bye you dork."
