What Does it Mean? ~ COMPLETED
No Guys
Harmony’s POV
Today is Thursday. We have exactly one day until Dani and I perform in front of the class.
“Just one more time, Dani! I know we can get it this time.”
“Okay, from the top.”
We started to do our moves to Stronger when I was knocked over by the kid next to me.
“Har!” Dani shrieked.
“I am so sorry! I didn’t know you were there. Please excuse my legally blindness,” the guy that knocked me over said.
“I’m fine, but have you ever considered getting thicker contacts?”
“Yeah, they don’t come for another two weeks. I’m Zack by the way.”
“Harmony,” I shake hands after he pulls me up.
“Maybe you’d like to get a coffee after school sometime?”
Is this guy seriously trying to hit on me? If only Harry were here. “Hmm… I’d have to ask my boyfriend first. I don’t think he’d like that though.”
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know you had a boyfriend.”
I laughed. This guys not so bad. He’s not a jerk like most of the guys in Cali. “It’s okay. It was nice meeting you, but I believe,” I paused as the bell rang, “it’s time to go. I’ll see you around.”
I quickly left with Dani, not bothering to use the shower. Not like we got that much practice in. The boys weren’t here because they had a recoding session, so Dani just dropped me off.
-
After about two hours of doing homework and practicing our dance, I crashed on my couch. I was exhausted, so what if it’s only five?
-
I twitch my face as a draft hits my face. Deciding it was nothing, I continued to sleep. Another draft of air hit my face and I opened my eyes.
“Zayn, what the fuck are you doing?”
“Nice to see you too, Har. I’m here because you haven’t eaten. You know you have to give your body food, especially when you dance. Your body needs fuel.”
“That made no sense, but I am hungry. Want a sandwich?”
“Yep.”
“So where’s the rest of the guys?” I ask as I reach for the bread.
“They all went to sleep, so I thought I’d check up on you. You know you can tell me anything. I am here for you. How was school today?”
“It was good –mayo?”
“Yeah. Anything new. New friends?”
“Well, there is this one guy…”
“Guy, as in, a person with a penis? A dude?”
“Yes, but before you freak out. He knows I have a boyfriend, and he is totally okay with that. I only met him today when he danced into me –ham or turkey?”
“Okay. Turkey. What’s his name?”
“Zack –lettuce and tomatoes?”
“Turkey. Is he nice?”
“Nicer than all of the douche bags in high school. Plus, don’t tell Dani, but I think he may be secretly gay. He wasn’t too much of a flirt when he asked me to coffee, and he looked awkward.”
“Maybe…”
“And voila!” I handed him his sandwich.
“To eating!” he said. I took a bite into my sandwich. We sat at the island while we ate. I am thankful for Zayn and his understanding. We both have opened up more around other people. Zayn’s phone started ringing, and he picked it up.
“Hello?... I’m at Har’s… No I am not stealing your girlfriend… Get over it Harry… Let me ask her,” he held his hand over the talking piece and looked up at me, “Can the guys come over?”
“Sure, but tell Louis I have no more carrots because he ate them all yesterday.”
He turns back to his phone, “Yeah, but she’s out of carrots… Okay… See you in a minute. Bye.” He hung up. “We have exactly 30 seconds to hide all evidence of food from Niall.”
We hurried to put everything back where it belonged before the boys barged into the flat.
“Ello, love!”
“Hey guys.”
“Har met a guy today!” Zayn shouted.
“What?” Harry said. “I thought we agreed on no guys!”
“In my defense he danced into me, he knows I have a boyfriend, and there is a 50% chance he’s gay.”
“That makes me feel a little better. I guess, but seriously, no guys.”
♪The next day♪
“Hey!”
I look up and see Zack. Fingers crossed he’s gay, nit trying to be a bitch about it, but if I have to, I will. I don’t need problems with another boy who isn’t my boyfriend, not that Harry and I have problems. You know what, never mind. “Hello.”
“I think we also have math together, if I’m not mistaken.”
“I guess we do,” I said as we entered the classroom.
“I’m really sorry about yesterday. I really just want to be friends though. I already have a girlfriend actually,” he said. He has a girlfriend? Yes! He’s not gay, but it works.
“You have a girlfriend? That’s cool. I would love to be friends with you. Sorry for being kind of a bitch, but my fingers were crossed that you were gay.”
He laughed, “Gay? Not at all. I just like to make new friends.”
“I guess that’s good; I’ve been needing some friends. For awhile actually.”
Class went as usual. The teacher explained some really confusing math problems, and I fell asleep half way through class face down in my math book. That’s not a very good impression on the first week of school.
“Ms. Mattingly, what is the answer to number three?” Mrs. Wainwright asked loudly waking me up.
“Um…” I looked at my notes at the problem. We are just reviewing some old stuff, but my mind is blank. I look up and notice that Zack, sitting diagonally from me, has a slip of paper with a number on it. Maybe that’s the answer? “Fourteen?”
“Thank you, Ms. Mattingly.”
Zack looks back at me. I mouth thank you to him and stay up for the last few minutes of class.
-
I managed to make it through the last three periods before dance without getting caught sleeping. I was about to die of boredom in History. Mrs. Hadley let us stretch before we performed for her. I wasn’t nervous, but maybe just a little scared of what she would think.
Luckily for me, and Dani, I didn’t mess up. I let myself be free; I was connected with the music. I really did feel “Stronger.”
“That was great, girls. I see a lot of potential in the two of you. I can’t wait to see you both perform in the Spring Showcase.”
Dani and I were the last to go, so we left right after to celebrate. I invited Zack to come with us, and his partner was busy, so he said yes. We walked down to get ice cream. It is my comfort food, so if I ever say I’m eating ice cream, I am either upset or just in the mood for ice cream, which is like all the time.
“Can I get a big scoop of mint with Twix?” I order.
“Mint ice cream with Twix?” Dani and Zack look at me like I’m crazy.
“What? It’s like the best thing in the world!” I say. (A/N Seriously, you need to try it, it’s so good.)
“Okay, make that three,” Dani ordered.
We paid for our ice cream and dug in. It was so good, like always.
“Oh my gosh! We have to get some for Niall. He would kill us if he found out we got ice cream without him, and this is really good.”
“I agree.”
“So Zack, Har tells me you have a girlfriend. Care to spill?”
“Well, I was actually lying. I’ve never told anyone, but you’re right Har. I’m gay. Please don’t judge me!”
“We would never. You’re really nice. I’ve always wanted a gay best friend! Like Blaine or Kurt on Glee.”
“Thanks, you two are too kind. What about you two? Boyfriends?”
“Well, you may know them. I’m going out with Liam Payne, and Har is going out with Harry Styles.”
“Wait. Liam and Harry, from One Direction? The hottest boy band from England all over the world? Wait! That makes you Danielle Peazer. You are one of my idols. Why are you going to Uni?”
“Yep that’s them,” I said.
“I’m going to Uni to study because my parents asked me to. They want me to keep learning to have a backup incase my dance career goes down the drain. I don’t mind; I still get to dance.”
“Pa-lease, if anyone’s career is going down the drain it’s mine, because you two are the best dancers I’ve seen since Usher.”
Today is Thursday. We have exactly one day until Dani and I perform in front of the class.
