-Harry-

I stood under one of the white tents, talking with Louis when I felt arms hugging me from behind. Marissa.

"Hey babe" she said as I turned around.

"Well, hello there!" I said, pecking her lips. We've been dating for three weeks now and it's been so far so good. Everyone said we should be together.

"How's Holmes Chapel?" She asked, smiling.

"Not so great without you. But good enough." I said. She wasn't able to come meet my parents because she had to stay and settle in with her cousin. I don't know much about her, except she's from the States and she's got a law scholarship at St. George's. Must be a smart kid.

"You know I had to stay and show Karla around. But the great news is now you can finally meet her!" She said, looking around, I'm guessing, for her.
"Damn, I lost her... Nope, there she is, by the pool." She pointed at a girl casually standing by herself beside the glowing pool.

"Marissa!!!" I heard Jade scream just as she throw herself into Mari. They were soon immersed in their own conversation about their summers. I turned to Louis:

"Sorry mate, let me rescue the lonely cousin, be back in a bit." He nodded while sipping on his drink and with that I started walking towards Karla.

She was now looking across the pool. She had a nice body, I must say. Hourglass shaped with nice legs and bum. Her hair is light brown, almost blonde. I'm sure she'll be turning heads around here. Curves are always appreciated.

As I got closer I saw what she was looking at. Liam and Danielle making out. They must have gotten back together for the millionth time. I like Liam a lot, he's fun to hang around with but he's a player. Whenever he gets bored he breaks up with Dani and hooks up with as many girls as he possibly can and I don't appreciate that. I believe in monogamy.

I tapped Karla's shoulder and heard her sigh.

"He surely looks like a great kisser, doesn't he?" I said. Now she was facing me and looking straight into my eyes. She was blushing at my comment so I introduced myself.

"Hello. You must be Karla. I'm Harry." I smiled.

"Hi." Was all she managed to say with a warm smile.

-Karla-

"I'm so glad we can finally meet. Heard lots about you" he said. I snapped my thoughts out of Liam's face kissing that girl and tried to make conversation with Harry.

"Yeah, me too. Heard plenty about you too." I genuinely smiled. So this is the famous Harry Styles I've been forced to hear about all week. He surely looks good. Nice dimples. Marissa did good finding this one.

"Yeah? Have you heard enough or do you want to talk about them?" He said, and I realized I've turned my gaze to Liam and the blonde girl inadvertently. They were now sitting by the pool talking.

"Oh my god, this is awkward. I swear I'm not a creep." I said, looking at him and feeling my face turn red from embarrassment. He chuckled, looking very amused.

"Do you like him?" He asked. Woah Harry... That's a pretty bold question.

"Kinda" I blurted out. Ok, I really didn't meant to tell him that. Now he's probably going to tell Mari and Liam will eventually find out and I'll be in a pretty awkward situation.

"I don't blame you, he's got something on all the girls. Don't worry, it'll be our secret" he winked while smiling. I suppose he read the flushing red on my face as a sign of embarrassment.

"Thanks. I haven't told Mari about it and now I won't ever" I chuckled a bit.

"But you know, he and Dani got back together this week I'm assuming." Oh, that's her name. "So maybe next week he'll be single again."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused, looking into his eyes. Those are some pretty green orbs.

"Well, Liam's one of my best mates, but he and Dani are on again off again almost weekly." He stated quite seriously.

"In that case, I'm not sure I dig that" I said chuckling. I looked over to Liam who was now kissing Dani again. I sighed, giving the silly idea of my first kiss being tonight a last thought and turned back to Harry, changing the subject quickly, before he makes another comment. That's enough chit chat about my crush, anyway.

"So, we'll be together at St. George's." I grinned.

"Yes. Mari told me you're studying law as well. That's a smart choice, I must say." He said. I swear these accents make everything sound so polished and smart.

"Back at you." I replied. "Do you mind if we sit over there?" I said, pointing at some white couches by the pool. My shoes were kind of uncomfortable already.

We sat and started talking about uni. We both checked our schedules on our phones and turns out we have six classes together, out of eight. He told me about why he chose to study law and the struggle to convince his parents, who wanted him to become a doctor.

We had so much in common, at least with the intention of studying law. I too wanted to become a lawyer because I believe in justice and things being fair and right for everyone, plus I think it will help me gain confidence in myself and be more daring and bold in life. We then talked about music, and Marissa. He's so easy to talk to, I even forgot he was a boy. Otherwise I'd be silent and awkward.

Marissa joined us after a while and sat on his lap. They look so good together. I wish I had something like that. She took his hand and led him to the dance floor. I stayed by the pool. In the safe zone, and spotted Liam again. Now he was talking with Louis and two other guys.

I really liked his arm tattoo and his looks. The way he speaks and how he was so nice to me. But I have to stop thinking about him in that way. He has a girlfriend. And even though Harry said they constantly break and make up, I'm not the kind of girl to take advantage of that. I don't want to feel like I'm a rebound or like I'm just being used. Especially not on my first relationship.

I'll have to find someone else, or better yet, maybe I should stop obsessing with boys. When I was younger I pushed them away, now I want them so bad but at the same time have no experience and my head spins and I don't know what to say or do around them. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes my thoughts fumble. Not with Harry, though. He's really nice and friendly and I'm almost certain we'll be good friends.

Someone sat beside me. "Hi, I'm Eleanor." She said.

I talked to her for the rest of the night. Turns out she's Louis's girlfriend and she's so nice and bubbly. Somehow she made me open up to her and I ended up telling her about Liam, after we had three margaritas, that is.
She was kind of excited about my crush. Apparently she doesn't get along with Danielle. But she told me pretty much the same thing Harry did. They're unpredictable, one day good, the other they're apart and he flirts and hooks up with 3 girls in return. She does the same to him and everyone's just used to it by now.

We chatted about numerous random things. Her uni and all her cats, my passion for makeup and reading. She really seemed interested in talking to me which made me feel pretty great. Maybe I'm not so bad at making friends after all.
