*Monday*

Harry's POV

I slam the snooze button on my alarm clock. I hate that noise. I roll onto my back and look at the ceiling. I smile when I realize I get to see Lana today. We didn't talk at all yesterday; she probably felt weird about my lapse in control on saturday night. I close my eyes and mentally slap myslef. How could I do that? I could tell she felt uncomfortable. Then again, when she looked up at me I could have sworn it looked like she wanted to kiss me. Probably just imagining things. Plus, if she did she wouldn't have left.

I get up and take a quick shower, getting dressed in black skinny jeans and a white long sleeve. I choose a beanie and decide on the dark purple one Gemma got me for Crhistmas. I thought it was too girly at the time, but now I kind of liked it. Besides, it was so dark that it almost looked black.

I get my backpack and head downstairs to get some breakfast. My mum and Robin are already gone, so I just take a banana and head to my car. As I'm locking the front door, my phone starts vibrating. I pull it out to see Louis' name on my screen.

"Hello, Louis."

"Hey, Harry. Listen, my car has a flat tire. Can you give me ride to school?"

"Yea sure, mate. I'll be there in five minutes."

"Great, thanks! See you soon."

I hang up and look across the street to see that Lana has already left for school. I'm a little disappointed. I wanted to give her a ride today. I get in my car and drive to Lou's house. I've thought about asking Lana out ever since Louis told me that El said Lana had finally worked everything out with Josh. He said it seemed like they were officially done and that Lana told the girls she really was over him. I know I had the biggest smile on my face when Louis told me. I was hoping that would mean that Lana would talk to me about it, about us. But she never brought it up, so I just figured she needed more time.

Over the weekend I could feel myself growing impatient. I'm falling for this girl. I need to be with her. I want to be able to hold her hand, hug her, kiss her. It was driving me insane. I guess I just couldn't hold it back anymore this weekend. I loved watching the horror movie; she clung to me the whole time. I didn't even pay attention to the movie, I just stared at her and smiled as she reacted to every second of the movie. She was so adorable. And she was mine.

Well, I hoped she would be.

I pull up to Louis' house and runs out to my car.

"Hey, thanks for the ride, Harry."

"No problem. Why didn't you call El? Not that I don't want to drive you." I say, laughing.

"I don't want to seem needy, mate," he explains. I roll my eyes at him. "What? We aren't together so why should I call her?"

"Yea, why aren't you together? You're basically in love with her already, so I think it's probably time to make it official, mate."

"I know, I know. I just want to do it in like a special way, you know? Make sure she really doesn't have any choice but to say yes."

I laugh and shake my head. "Louis, you could show up to her house covered in mud and drunk and she would say yes. Just do it."

He laughs and agrees. We pull into school and I park next to Lana's car. For some reason this row of spots was never filled, even though it was the closest to the building.

We get out and see the girls standing with Josh and Kyle at the back of Brooke's car. Same as every other morning. I groan a little when I see Josh. Why couldn't he just find different girls to hang out with? He probably isn't even over Lana. Can't imagine it's easy to let go of her. Lana sees me and waves me over, smiling. Louis and I walk up to them and Lou leans on the car next to El. They start talking and I go over and do the same thing next to Lana.

"Good morning, Styles." She looks at my hair and laughs. "Did you do your hair this morning?"

"Lana, I'm a guy. I don't do my hair."

She laughs because she knows I'm lying. I reach up and run my hand through my curls, pushing them away fro my face. I guess I was so eager to see her that I forgot to put gel in it today. Oops.

The bell rings and we all get up and start walking into the school. I walk beside Lana. "So can you come over tonight? I need all the help I can get before the test on Wednesday."

She nods and pats my arm, sending chills through my body. "Yea I can. You'll be fine for the test, don't worry about it." I smile at her and we walk into english. We sit in our usual seats with Eleanor and Brooke in front of us. I turn to talk to Lana, putting my hand on the back of her chair.

"So, when do I get to see the complete outfit?"

She looks at me confused. "What are you talking about?"

"The dress, smartypants. For the party on thursday."

"Oh, that!" She says, remembering what we did saturday. One of the funnest days of my life, by the way. "Maybe you'll get to see it, maybe not. Who knows."

I laugh and twirl some of her hair between my fingers. I see her face turn a light shade of pink, hardly noticeable. "Whatever you say, love."

Shit. I didn't mean to start calling her that again. It just felt natural.

Lana's POV

"Whatever you say, love." I feel my face get hot when he plays with my hair. Was he trying to torture me? The teacher starts talking and I face the front, but Harry leans back in his chair and keeps playing with my hair. I try to focus on what she's saying, but I can't get my mind off of Harry.

"Mr. Styles, if you don't mind releasing Lana's hair and paying attention to the lesson?" Mrs. Alman says, looking at both of us. My face turns a deep shade of read and I slump down in my chair. He chuckles and looks at her, releasing my hair. Brooke turns around and looks at me questioningly. I shrug my shoulders, but she whispers something to El and they both start giggling.

At lunch we all sit together and I try and make sense of Harry's actions. Why is he suddenly acting this way? Don't get me wrong, I was enjoying it. However, if he had no plans on being anything more than friends I needed it to stop, because I'm not sure I could handle that. He sets his tray beside me and starts eating and talking to Louis across the table. I mindlessly poke at my food, not really hungry.

"You alright?" I hear Harry ask.

"Hmm? Oh, yea sure. Just not that hungry," I lie. No, I'm not alright, I can't stop thinking about you.

The rest of the drags on as Harry continues to do what I can only assume to be flirting. By the end of the day I feel like m heart is going to beat right out of my chest if he touches me one more time.

I go to his house after school to help him with math. He seems to be doing better this time, and he's happy that he's finally understanding everything. I smile to myself; he's so adorable. I say no when he asks me to stay for dinner. I need to have some time away from him if I want to avoid jumping on him. He looks confused but lets me go. I practically run to my house and collapse on my bed. How am I supposed to do this? And it's only Monday!
