Becoming British

Jackie's POV:

Today was the day. Thanksgiving. Logan and I had saved up and bought everything we would need. But after we put the turkey in the oven and we had set out the other essentials, I noticed there wasn't any cranberry sauce.

“Uhm, not to alarm you or anything, but we don't have any cranberry sauce.” I laughed a bit.

“Oh shoot.” Logan rubbed her forehead with her hand, glancing around as if she would find it. “ Would you..?”

“Of course.” I smiled sweetly at her. I grabbed my jacket and scarf and headed out. Just as I shut the door I noticed my favorite green eyed boy coming out of his dorm. He smiled hugely and opened his arms wide, I giggled and jumped up into them, kissing him on the cheek. I dropped down and grabbed his hand.

“Hello to you too.” He smiled down at me. “Where are we off to, my lady?”

“To the market down the street, my esteemed gentleman.” I replied in the same posh accent. We burst into laughter and walked out into the cold blistery weather.

We ran into the warmth of the market, glad for the relief from the blizzard brewing outside.

“You got get the sauce, I'm going to get desert.” Harry licked his lips and rubbed his hands together, I laughed and shook my head at this. Hes such a little kid sometimes. I turned on my heal and accidentally bumped into someone. Her cans crashed to the floor, which I quickly stooped down to help her pick up.

“I'm really sorry about that!” I exclaimed, handing her the items.

“Its really okay, I should have watched where I was going.” She smiled.

“HEY! YOUR AMERICAN TOO!” I practically yelled. My eyes went wide and so did hers, I cover my mouth with my hands and looked around to see everyone looking at us. I looked back at her and we both quietly giggled. She grabbed my arm and dragged me over to an isle so we were out of view.

“Yes I am! As are you!” She laughed.

“Are you taking a vacation or....?” I asked excitedly.

“No I actually go to school here, I think your that girl in my science class who accidentally set her partner's shirt on fire...” My face flushed bright red, I hadn't remembered her but my whole science class knows this face.

“My name's Jackie, whats yours?” I stuck my hand out, trying to change the subject.

“Mine's Olivia, so glad to meet you.” She laughed. Suddenly, an idea came to mind.

“Would you like to come to dinner at my dorm tonight? My dorm mate and I are celebrating thanksgiving with a few of our friends, and since your also American, why don't you join us?” I beamed.

“ I would love to! So much better than eating soup and watching TV.” She motioned down to the cans in her hands.

“Perfect! I just need to get cranberry sauce and we'll be on our way!” She nodded and followed me to get some, but on the way back to the cash register, I couldn't help but wonder what Harry's reaction to her would be. I mean come on, shes this beautiful blonde with sparkling blue eyes and a bubbly fun personality. I have to admit if it was between her and me, heck, I'd even choose her!

“Hey, is something the matter?” Olivia asked me, brow furrowed and concern clear in her voice. I put on a cheerful face instead of the deary one she had questioned about.

“Never better, just thinking about how I'm not home for this holiday. I kind of wish I was, but this should be fun.” I smiled.

“Same here, Christmas is coming though! I can't wait.” She beamed. God her teeth are shockingly bright.

“Me either, oh just as a head's up, my friend is meeting us at check out.”

“That's fine.” I saw Harry waiting and walked over to him, he in turn wrapped an arm around my shoulder and held my eye contact.

“Oh, I didn't realize your 'friend' was that kind of friend.” Olivia piped up, giving me a sly smile. I blushed and burrowed my face into Harry's chest.

“Harry, meet Olivia, she will be joining us for dinner.” I murmured into him. “ Hopeful she is done embarrassing me for the night.” They laughed at that and shook hands. We payed for our items and showed her the way back to my dorm, on the way there though, we caught Niall in the hall. I looked up at Harry but his face was blank and emotionless. I looked back to Olivia to see her and Niall in a invigorating conversation. “See you guys at the dinner table!” I yelled to the as Harry and I walked away, they waved but didn't look away from each other. Looks like those two really hit it off, I smiled to myself.
