What Does it Mean? ~ COMPLETED
Bestest Friends
Harry’s POV
She said yes! Score! Just wait until I tell the guys. After we went back inside, we saw the others eating breakfast. I pulled out a chair for her, and I saw her trying to hide the fact that she is blushing. I take the seat across from her and next to Louis.
During breakfast I didn’t pay attention to the conversation everyone was going on about. I probably look like a fool just smiling at her and staring.
“What do you think Harry?” Louis asks me knocking out of my thoughts.
“Huh?” Now I wish I had paid attention.
“We were wondering if we should go to the beach or go sight-seeing. Any comment, or are you too busy staring at my sister over here?” Drew inputs.
“Um…”
“We’re just joking with you, Haz,” Niall laughs.
“But seriously, beach or sight-seeing?” Liam asks.
“Why not both?” I say.
“Absolutely!” Talia said.
“Let’s get going then!” Harmony says and runs out of the room. Soon, everyone is gone except for Talia and I.
“Treat her well for me, Harry. I know about your date tonight,” she says and walks out. Does anyone else feel something weighing down on their shoulders now?
Harmony’s POV
I put my suit on underneath my clothes just in case, grabbed my phone with headphones, and went down stairs to meet the others. We head out.
“Where to?”
“Let’s go to the boardwalk! I love the wind out there,” I say. We walk because it’s really nice outside.
“You know what? You need a shorter name,” Louis says to me. “Can I call you Har for short?”
I laugh, “Sure, but only if I can call you Lou.”
“Deal! Now, Har, rumor has it you have a date with Haz tonight. Care to put them to rest?”
“Uh… yeah, I do.”
“Just to warn you, don’t let all his good looks fool you. He’s a player.”
I see Harry glare at Lou. I laugh.
“Okay, Lou. I promise I’ll take care of myself.”
I turn and grab Harry’s hand and pull him to the end of the boardwalk.
“Dolphins!” I shout. He laughs at my childishness.
“What happened to the shy girl I meet last night?” he asked.
“I promised Tal I’d loosen up a little.”

The rest of the day we spent down at the beach. We had a splashing war, but who hasn’t? It was about five and Harry and I went back to the house, so I could shower and get ready for our date. I changed into: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=77169387
I blow dry then straighten my hair, and I walk downstairs to see Harry waiting for me.
“Ready?” he asked.
“Yep,” I said popping the ‘p’.
“You look amazing,” he compliments me.
“Not too shabby yourself, Styles.”
“The movie theatre is only two blocks from here, so I thought we could walk, if that’s okay with you. I also wanted an excuse to get to know you better,” I nod my head and giggle at his honesty as we walk out the door.
“Wanna play twenty questions?” I asked.
“Sure, but I get to ask you ten and you can ask me ten.”
“Deal, but one person at a time.”
“I get to go first then,” he calls. “What is your full name?”
“Harmony Annabelle Mattingly,” I answer.
“You’re initials are ‘ham’?”
“Yes, but I dislike people who call me that, next question.”
“Who are your closest friends?”
“I don’t really have any friends…”
“Why not? You’re really pretty,” he said. I laugh.
“That doesn’t make anybody want to be my friend.”
“Oh… we’ll be your friends!”
“Best friends?” I ask.
“The bestest!” he says making me laugh. “What are your hobbies?”
“Thinking,” I answer.
“What?” he looks at me like I’m crazy.
“Well, you see, the reason I don’t have many friends is because I think to much. Not about boys like ‘normal girls’, but about life.” I’m pretty sure I’ve lost him now. “Have you ever really thought about life Harry? Have you ever wondered why things look the way they do? Why our eyes are on our face? Why they even call it a face?” I gesture to mine.
“Not really. I like to go with the flow. Who cares about what it is, or what it does. Just enjoy it!”
“I’ll consider it,” I said.
“So, what movie do you want to watch?”
“Let’s see Oz the Great and Powerful! I heard it was really good.”
He paid for the tickets and snacks, and we went to the theatre.

It was a really great film, but it was even better seeing it with him. Wait, what am I saying? No boys, Har. I mean, he’s nice, but I really just want to focus on what’s important.
When I go to London, I’m going to University. I’m majoring in dance. Someday, I want to be a professional dancer. I’ve always wanted to do something that would make all the people who bullied and made fun of think twice. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be working for me. I even have a perfect song for this. It’s called “Loser Like Me” by the cast of Glee. I love that show. It’s really inspirational for me.
“Hey, I still have three more questions left,” Harry said. I had none left because I stopped him at seven and used my ten. I was curious.
“Shoot,” I told him.
“Are you going to college?”
“Yeah, I’m going to a university,” was all I told him. I don’t want him to know that I’m moving to London for school.
“Is it in California?”
“No…” I mumbled.
“Well if it’s not in California, where is it?”
“I’m not sure exactly,” I lied.
“Okay. Hey, can I uh… get your number?” he asked nervously.
“Why do you sound so nervous? Lou told me you were a player.”
“Yeah, well you know, you’re just so pretty, I can’t speak.”
I laughed at his cheekiness and took his phone from him and gave him mine. I punched my number in and handed it back to him. I got a text from him.
From Harry<3:
Just making sure it’s the right number –Hxx
To Harry<3:
No I’m sorry this is Jake, Jake from state farm -Hx
From Harry<3:
Haha –Hxx
“I had fun today,” I said smiling at him getting back to reality.
“Me too,” he smiled back.
“Race you to the house!” I took off running.
“You’re on!” I could hear him catching up to me as I tried to run faster. I was almost to the house when he caught me by my waist. I panted out of breath. I grabbed his hand and we skipped the rest of the way together. I feel like such a five year old sometimes.
