After a few more classes the day finally ends, I swing my backpack over my shoulder as I walk out of the school towards Lindsey. The rest of us were there just chatting and sitting on our phones. I sit down on the wooden bench and let out a large sigh.

"Hey," Lindsey says as the rest of the guys continue chatting.

"Hi," I smile at her.

"So did anyone notice?" She asked.

"No, I don't think so?" I reply.

"Good, probably because I'm the one who covered it up." She winks jokingly, making me laugh. "By the way, who gave you that love bite?"

I could almost feel the way my face paled in front of her and my heart beat faster, but before I could speak someone else did.

"Obviously I did." A familiar voice says. 

"Very funny, Ben." I shake my head as Ben lets out a laugh, why is he like this? Ben walks over and sits next to us, I roll my eyes at his joke.

"You're disgusting, Ben." Lindsey says while playfully hitting his shoulder as we all laugh. I know he has had the biggest crush on me forever, but I really don't want to date in high school. Obviously I want to find love, but at the same time I am too scared to actually try and find out.

I notice Harry leaving the building while carrying several books, he was wearing black jeans and a striped shirt. He brushes his hair away from his face and looks directly at me, I nervously look away. Please don't come over here. And of course, he wanders over to us while Ben and Lindsey chat away.

"Hi Kate, can I speak to you for a moment?" He asks as my heart fluttered, why am I so nervous? Ben and Lindsey didn't think much of it and I stood up to walk with him. I don't want to speak to him, I shouldn't. School is over, this can't be school related.

"School is over, what do you want?" I ask, it definitely came out rather rudely but who cares. 

"Just wanted to talk about your behavior in class today, you didn't seem very happy to see me." He responds as we sit down on a nearby bench. 

"I obviously didn't expect you to be teaching here, at my school. Almost like you knew I was going to be here and purposely took the job." 

"Darling, don't flatter yourself. You don't actually believe I chose to teach here because of you." He chuckles at me, well that's embarrassing. 

"I didn't meant to say that." I quickly said before standing up, I could see my mom's car pulling up. He gets up with me and suddenly grabs my arm. 

"I would like to say, it's a pleasure to be able to see you more now." He whispers in my ear which sends tingles down my spine. I look at him as he smiles at me before walking to the parking lot as my mom drives up. The music playing some old catchy tunes as she pulls out of the school parking lot towards the street.

"So, how was school?" She asks while turning towards a different road.

"Fine." I reply bluntly with a smile, not bothering to tell her that Harry's the student teacher in one of my classes. The rest of the drive went by silent, just the music playing in the background quietly. We get home and I spend time in my room reviewing and doing any homework that is due for the next day, but every time I try to focus, Harry keeps popping up in my head. Just the vision of him in front of me which definitely makes it hard to focus. Now I have to see him twice in a day, will I start to look forward to it? This is my last year in high school, it's the last year to live your life as a teenager.

I noticed the time and put all my homework away for the night before grabbing a bite to eat and heading out to the car. I'll get to his house a few minutes early, but why am I so eager to even get there on time? It was starting to get dark out by the time I pull up to his drive way, I could see the lights outside illuminating the house. I am so anxious as to what is going to happen tonight, I haven't seem him for a few hours since school and I am already wanting to see him. I knock on the door before hearing a muffled 'come in' and open the door. I walked past the beautiful piano before I notice Harry sitting on the couch, drinks and foods spread all around him with the only light coming from the screen in front of him.

"Ah, Kate." He smiles before standing up. "How are you, my love?"

He reaches me and gives me a tight hug, he smelled of alcohol and cigarettes. What is happening? He lets go and stumbles backwards slightly.

"Alright, turn on the lights and lets get started." He says while pushing beer cans and food away from himself as we walk towards the piano. I walk over and turn the lights on as he groans from the brightness.

"Not now, fuck." He says while covering his eyes and running into the coffee table. I'm so confused, he knows there's a piano lesson tonight but he gets himself drunk anyways? I walk back over and watch as Harry stumbles and sits down on the couch. Before I could tell him not too, he tips his beer and it gets it all over his clothes.

"Goddammit, Harry." I mumble under my breathe as he starts laughing at his mess. I walk over and grab the can from his hand as he stops laughing. I throw it away in the nearest trash can as I hear him mumble something while I grab a rag to clean up most of the mess in the room.

"I guess now I have to take...this off." He huffs while pulling off his tight pants. I turn around to see his striped shirt on the ground with his pants, leaving him only in his boxers. My eyes widen before turning back around to continue cleaning up everything and throwing it away in the trash before I felt something cold spill all over me. I gasp and stand up carefully as he continued pouring it all over my head, getting all over my shirt.

"Harry!" I scream after he throws the can behind his back.

"Whoops, looks like you have to take all of your clothes off too." He smiles as I stand there mortified.

"No!" I yell. "I'm not doing that! I'm here for a lesson since you are my teacher and here you are stripping and pouring beer all over me!"

"Woah there, love. No need to get angry." He says. I am so annoyed and irritated that I never noticed the proximity of how close Harry got to me. He brushes my beer drenched hair away from my face and behind my shoulders, beer does not smell good.

"So you came here for a lesson," he smirks.

"Well obviously, since my mothers paying for it and you have graduated with a degree to be able to teach people like me." I reply more calmly.

"Babe," he chuckles as he places his hands on my hips and leans in to kiss my lips gently before moving closer to my ear. It sends shivers all over my body as I could feel his skin against mine.

"I know nothing about music, I'm only here because of you." He whispers.
