study comes at a price
There’s a knock on my door. ‘Come in’ I say. ‘Hey are you coming out for dinner’ Harrys head is poking out from behind the wooden door with a cute smile and floppy curls. I swing round on my chair to face him. As I spin I catch my reflection in the mirror. My tanned hair in a messy high pony and a big old footy shirt that covers my small shorts accompanied by fluffy bed socks. ‘Um maybe later thanks Haz.’ I say sadly. I have my big test tomorrow and the score will decide what university I am allowed to go to and what I can study. ‘(y/n), come on you need a break, you have been studying for months and months and in the last week we have barely seen you leave the room .’ he sits on my bed crossed legged like usual looking at me worried. ‘Haz my tests are tomorrow, it’s my last chance to study. If I don’t get a good score then I will be stuck with a crappy university.’ ‘Y/N even if you do get a crappy university its ok.’ ‘no its not because if I get a crappy score then the crappy university won’t allow me to study and travel with you guys at the same time.’ He looks down at his feet shaking his head. After a minuets silence he looks up with a grin. ‘what?’ I say confused. ‘Well if you don’t come eat I will make you.’ ‘yer right’ i give him a look as if to say don’t you dare. Next thing I know he picks me up in a fireman hold and try’s carrying me out. I thrash about laughing. As he laughs he loses his balance and we fall onto the bed with a thump. He wrestles me so I can move but I fight back. I almost win but then he grabs my arms above my head and pins me down. We are still laughing and giggling from wrestling but then I realise I am only centimetres away from his face. ‘umm ok I will come have dinner then’ I say embarrassed knowing I must be bright red. ‘Y/N I…’ he tries to say something as he towers over me. He backs up and we sit on the bed awkwardly. ‘Y/N I, I really need to tell you something.’ I look over at him and he moves closer and takes my hands. My breathing increases. ‘Y/N I really want you to keep traveling with us. I mean we all want you to but me especially.’ ‘what are you going on about Haz, I can only go if I get a good score and my job stays free for me as your fashion stylist.’ ‘no I don’t think you understand’ he says grinning with a small laugh and shaking his head. I look at him confused. ‘I want you to travel with me, no matter what score, not as a stylist.’ ‘then what would my job be then?’ I am still so confused. He looks into my eyes and next thing you know he kisses me. I am so shocked don’t even move. He rests his forehead on mine and says ‘as my girlfriend’ I can barely speak.my best friend. My best friend I have had a crush on for the past year just kissed me. ‘Haz i..’ I begin to talk before I am interrupted by him jumping into the air off the bed. ‘I am sorry, I should not have kissed you without asking, and I know you don’t like me like that, I probably just freaked you out. I… I will just leave.’ He rushes his words out and abruptly turns around for the door ‘Haz wait’ I say jumping from my bed and running after him. I catch his hand and pull him close. I place my hand on his cheek and kiss him. ‘I would love that’ I say in a whisper. I watch his smile grow so big you could have seen it from a mile away. ‘i love you’ he says pulling me into a hug. ‘wait till I tell the boys, they have been waiting a year for this.’ I laugh as we walk out to dinner and tell the boys.
