After lunch, Diana had Creative writing which wasn’t a common period with Jane but it was with Harry. So, Louis and Jane left together for their next class, leaving behind, Diana alone with Harry. They both quietly walked beside each other towards the class but before they could reach the room, Harry’s name was called out.

“I will um… see you later.” Diana spoke as she saw one of Harry’s friends approaching them.

“You can stay. It’s fine.” Harry said but Diana just shook her head in reply.

“Bye.” Diana said as she started walking towards the classroom. Diana was among the first ones to reach the class, so, she quickly walked towards the back of the class and sat down on the seat closest to the window. She placed her books gently in front of her and laid her head on them, looking out of the window. Diana was startled when she heard the chair beside her make a noise and she looked up to see Harry, taking the seat beside her. Diana didn’t expect him to sit with her. She knew all too well that Harry has a lot of friends here and she was sure that he would sit with one of them. From the corner of her eye Diana saw Amanda looking at them, her eyes narrowed into thin slits and her face was filled with anger.

“Harry, I don’t think it is a good idea for you to sit with me.” Diana spoke earning a confused face from Harry. Diana slowly let her eyes shift to Amanda and Harry followed her gaze when he finally understood what she meant.

“Don’t worry. Amanda won’t be a problem. Not any more.” Harry assured Diana as he turned his head towards her, giving her a smile. Before Diana could ask what he meant, the teacher entered the class and without wasting any time, he started teaching.

“What do you have next?” Harry asked as Diana gathered her books from the table.

“History.” Diana replies as she looked up from her schedule.

“Same here. Come on lets go then.” Harry said as he walked in front and Diana quickly followed behind him, mostly trying to avoid Amanda.

“Harry!!” A voice called from behind them as soon as they stepped out of the house. They turned around to find Louis walking towards them.

“You have History right?” He asked as soon as he reached where Harry and Diana were standing.

“Yeah.” Harry replied as all three started walking, Diana slightly lagging behind the two as she didn’t want to come between those two.

“Good. I have History too.” Louis replied and then he turned his head to face Diana.

“Why are you walking behind?” Louis asked Diana as he carelessly put his arm around her shoulder, startling Diana with a sudden contact.Louis looked at Harry who was shooting draggers at him. Louis just gave him a big smile in return, not removing his hand.

“I..I..ummm..” Diana stuttered.

“You know that you are too damn adorable.” Louis laughed as she let him arm drop from Diana’s shoulder and entered the class, calling the dibs for the last bench.

“I am sorry. Louis can get a bit too friendly.” Harry said as he walked beside Diana.

“It’s alright.” Diana spoke as she gave him a small smile.

“Diana! Come on! Sit here.” Louis yelled as he pointed the seat in front of him. Diana wished that he would just stop yelling and gaining more attention towards her. She quickly walked towards the seat and sat down.

“Harry, are you really gonna leave me here to sit alone?” Louis pouted as Harry took a seat beside Diana.

“Sorry mate.” Harry replied with a grin as Louis glared at him.

“Harry, you don’t have to sit here.” Diana spoke.

“I want to.” Harry said as he looked at her straight in her eyes. Diana wanted to look somewhere else but it was as if she was under a magic spell. She jumped suddenly when she heard Louis cough from behind and blushed while Harry gave Louis a death glare who in return gave just smirked.

“Diana do you know, Harry is absolutely smitten by you.” Louis said making Diana widen her eyes in surprise while Harry just sat there absolutely dumbfounded.

“Why don’t you go over what we are going to learn today and just shut your bloody mouth Louis?” Harry spoke through gritted teeth.

“But I absolutely love embarrassing you both. It is way more fun that reading this stupid History book.” Louis argued.

“Any ways, when are you going to give me a ride in your car, Diana?” Louis asked turning his attention towards Diana who was still under a complete shock. She opened her mouth but couldn't come up with something.

“What did you say?” Louis said as he bent forward on the table pretending to listen carefully. “Oh! You will not only give me a ride in it but you will also let me drive it. That is so sweet of you.”

“Ow! What was that for?” Louis spoke rubbing his head and glared at Harry who had smacked Louis behind his head.

“Stop it, mate.” Harry said as he continued to glare at Louis. Harry knew that Louis won’t leave a single opportunity to embarrass him and Diana but what the hell was he exactly thinking when he spoke that he was smitten with Diana. Well it was not a lie but there was no need for Louis to tell that to Diana. Just as Louis was about to reply with one of his smart comments but was stopped short when he saw a guy entering the class.

“Who is he?” He asked Harry who just shrugged his shoulders.

“Good morning class.” The man spoke as he kept his kept his books on the desk.

Diana let out a huge sigh of relief, hoping he was their teacher and would save her from Louis embarrassing questions.

“I am Nathan Keats, your new History teacher.” The man introduced himself.

The class was filled with soft whispering as students gossiped asking each other if they knew anything about their new teacher. Diana’s head snapped up as she looked at her teacher with wide eyes. He was the person about whom Jenna was talking about in the morning, he was the one with whom Jenna had a date.

As Diana looked at her new teacher, she had to admit that Nathan was actually pretty handsome but Diana was not one of those people who actually went after the look of a person. She was one of those who judged a person by his heart and as for Nathan, she wanted to make sure if he was nice or not because she didn't want Jenna to get hurt in any way. So, she leaned back in her seat and carefully looked at Nathan who was busy introducing him. The way he talked and paid attention to what others were saying, actually made him look like a nice person to Diana but then Diana knew all too well that she had always been the one who saw good in people.

The entire period passed by in giving introduction by the students and for the remaining time, Nathan allowed them to do whatever they wanted and said that they would start from tomorrow.

When the period finally got over, Diana gladly got up from her seat and was too eager to get out of the class. Louis didn’t leave a single opportunity to embarrass her by asking his absolutely embarrassing question, making Diana almost as red as tomato and on top of that her shy nature was not at all putting the situation in her favour.

The remaining two periods of her day were block of English, in which she just sat, not even glancing at once at the teacher. With her head down, and holding a pen in her hand, Diana was doing nothing but pretending to be taking notes while in reality her mind was filled with hundreds of questions.

‘Harry is absolutely smitten by you’

These words kept on repeating in her mind as if they were being played on a tape recorder. She walked to her car as the school got over, her mind in between of a huge conflict. On one hand where, all she wanted to do was to go to Harry and ask him if what Louis said was true, if he did really like her. But on the other hand, her logical thinking was telling her that it can be possible that Louis was just fooling around with them.

Diana let out a huge sigh as she opened her car’s door, climbed up and placed her bag on the passenger seat. She slowly backed out of the parking lot and drove towards her home. Throughout the way Louis’ words had occupied her mind. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice when she passed her house but as realisation set in her mind after coming to an unknown area, Diana turned her car around and finally parked her car in her house’s driveway. She wanted to let her head drop on the staring wheel, just sit inside the car and watch tiny droplets hit the window but she could because it had started raining faster and Diana didn’t want to get wet. So, she quickly picked up her bag, climbed out of her car and walked towards the house.

“Jenna! I am home.” Diana said as soon as she stepped inside the house. She walked towards the kitchen and hung her car keys and the house keys on the key holder.

As Diana was about to call for Jenna again she remembered that Jenna was at her office and would return around four. Diana slowly walked up the stairs and went straight into the room. She needed something to distract herself from all the questions that were running in her mind. She went to her bathroom along with a pair of fresh clothes and quickly changed, after washing her face. She walked back into her room and opened her bag and took out her books and started studying, trying hard to not let her mind wander and focus on what is written in front of her on the book.
