{23} Holly the lifesaver, awkward texts, and 'I understand'

Thursday.

 

"Students, please give me your attention." Mr. Jones announced.  We we're having another school meeting thingy.  Chelle and I zoned out untill we heard words that made us sit up alertly.  "Since Halloween is this coming Monday, you get a 3 day weekend." He said.  

Chelle gripped my arm as her eyes widened.  "Oh my sexy Brody.  Usually Halloween is on the weekend so we don't get it off."  I laughed at her new line "oh my sexy Brody". Mr. Jones told us classes will start in a half a hour or so.  

I just thought the 3-day weekend meant we don't have classes on Monday.  But Kirsten yelled as she jogged over to us, "Abi is taking me home tomorrow!  Oh yeah!"  "Lucky bitch." Chelle scoffed.  "Only because we live a couple hours away!" Kirsten defended herself.  I just stared at them though...is everyone going home?  Oh no!  I don't want to have to call my dad.  I'm probaly going to be stuck here with the few people who don't go home.

"Grace, you going home?" Chelle asked picking her nails.  "Umm not sure.  Probably just stay here." I said while shrugging.  "Oh shit.  I would bring you home with me, but we have cousins coming over and everything."  Chelle told me sadly.  Dang, I secretly wished I could come home with her.  

Kirsten, Chelle, and I went back to the girls hall since we had time.  Thanks to Chelle, everyone knows I'm not going home.  Kind of embarassing your Dad scares you.  He's just so serious about everything.  I wish I could stay with my mom in America.  I miss her.

"Girl, I would but I have no room...no joke." 

"I'm not allowed."

"Sorry Gracie...I really want to, but family comes over just like Chelle." 

I could tell they all felt bad, I can't blame them though.  I grinned when Holland told me, "WELL I'M STAYING. PARTY!"  "YES! PARTY!" I exclaimed while hugging her.  Sometimes Holly is a lifesaver.  

Well that problem is solved.

"I'm going to head off to science.  Don't want to be late." Katherine said flinging her backpack over her shoulder.  "I have science too!" I said happily.  Katherine grinned, "Awesome, come on."  We walked out and headed off to class.  

I don't know why but I was in a really good mood today.  One of those days where you wake up, get ready, and feel happy about how you did your hair and makeup.  I always just use chap stick, eyeliner, and mascara.  Unlike Chelle...the makeup freak.  But it looks amazing, if I had really good makeup skills like her- I'd use them for sure.  

"Boyfriend alert." Katherine chuckled.  I blinked my eyes to get out of my thoughts and saw Niall.  Since we had to get to class I quickly ran to him.  "Hey cutie." He chuckled into my hair as I hugged him.  "Mwah!" I said, pecking his cheek, "Got to get to class. See you Nialler."  He stood there playing with his hair and waving as I ran off.  "Oh my god I can tell he really likes you." Katherine whispered.  I just smiled while shrugging playfully.

 ****After a ton of classes

 

Classes we're painfully slow today.  Now I'm excited as ever to have a 3 day weekend!  Our english teacher is sick so we have a substitute.  The sub is frickin' awesome though.  She keeps leaving the room telling us to "stay seated", but obviously we all get up and talk.  "Hey Lou-" I started to say then burst out laughing.  Eleanor and Louis were making out on a desk.  Gosh..like Niall's awesome and all, but we wouldn't do that!  

I wasn't friends with anyone else in the class so I took out my phone.  I had unread text messages.  

"Bored In my free.  Txt back pleaaseee.  -Nialler. x"

"Hi ur cute. -Niall. x"

"Hi. -Niall. x"

 


I chuckled at his texts.  I almost wanted to not answer and see what else he'd keep say.  But of course I wouldn't do that to him..

 

"Subs r awesome. She just left the room.  Lou and El are snogging on a desk...-Gracie. x"

 

I almost jumped when some random guy came over to me.  He put his shoulder around mine.  I yanked it off, looking at him confused.  "What?  You don't remember me?" He said like I would know what he's talking about.  "No..." I said quietly.  "Oh well I'm Jake." He winked.  I can tell he's a popular.  "Cool." I replied.  

He's obviously a douche and I don't want to deal with him when I have a boyfriend.  "Okay. Well talk to you later." He said flashing his white teeth to me.  I rolled my eyes checking my phone again.

"Ha, Louis oh god.  And wanna hang after class? -Niall. x" 

"Sure. Meet me outside? -Gracie. x"

"Yep!  Cya then love! -Nialler. x" 

 


Someone yelled, "SHE'S COMING BACK!" I laughed loudly at Eleanor and Louis pecking each others lips desperately.  They broke apart dramatically.  Oh my.  I watched Louis mouth to her - You're so fit.  Eleanor's cheeks grew a tint of pink in no time.  

The sub started talking, "Sorry I took so long.  Had some papers to print.  Back to the worksheet-" DING.  The bell rang.  Well today is just amazing.  Eleanor and Louis giggled running off hand in hand.  I rolled my eyes.  I'm glad they're finally together, but they are crazy about each other it's ridiculous.   

Time for my boyfriend though!  Niall.  I think I like him more and more each day.  I ended up running through the halls to meet him.  Walking alone in the halls is b-o-r-i-n-g.  

I shoved the doors, to get outside, open- looking for the Irish blondie.  "Hi It's me...Niall..." He said in an unusually deep voice.  I spun myself around, "HEY NI-.... harry!?!!!" I clutched my stomach from laughing.  No wonder his voice sounded so retarded.  And Harry...that was a fail of an Irish accent.  

"Whaaat?" Harry defended himself.  "NIALL. I'll. catch.  You.  Later." I said between laughs.  "But I wanted you to come watch me practice for football!" He whined.  Jesus, he is a whiner.  "Can we just hang after dinner?" I suggested, still smiling from laughing so much.  "Sure..." He grinned, dimples popping.  He turned on his heal, walking away.

I plopped onto the stairs in front of the school.  C'mon Nialler...I was about to text him until he sat next to me.  "Sorry..Liam wanted me to help him with homework.  And then I told him I needed to see you..but he thought it was an excuse...and then.."  "Niall, It's okay. Let's walk around." I giggled.  Niall rolled his eyes and held my hand.  I looked down at our hands and smiled.  

He started off our conversation how I didn't want him to.  "Soo where are you going this weekend?" Niall asked.  I lied..sadly, "My dads."  "Cool. I'm going back home too.  It was fun when my brother was home, but now he's in college."  Niall sighed.  Cool...my sisters still live in America.  I don't want to tell him though.  "Yeah, I feel for ya." I replied.  

We walked through the massive outside of Brookwood Academy.  We walked all the way to the football field, which is far.  I noticed Louis and Harry playing.  I never even realize they have practice every single day.  Football is so intense, it's year round too.  Geez.  "I can't wait for the game tomorrow." Niall brought up.  I squeezed his hand tighter, "Yes! The last one we went to...we barely knew each other."  

"Oh, that was really fun.  I, uhh, really thought you looked cute." Niall blushed.  I nudged him lightly in the rib, "Aww!  Thanks.  I thought you did too."  "Remember how we were first friends? I had a crush on ya then. That's why I stayed until u came out of the office...I wanted to be your friend." Niall admitted.   "Well look at us now." I exclaimed wrapping my hands around his neck.  

"Boyfriend." I smiled.

"Girlfriend." He smiled even wider.  God, he is so attractive.  And when he smiles...I can't explain the butterflies that fly in my stomach.

"AYYYYYOOOOOO!" Someone exclaimed wrapping their arms around both of us, breaking our moment.  "Holly..." I groaned.  "Yup that's me.  Hey Gracie's BF you should stay this weekend..you know, since Gracie and I are." Holland said happily.  "Wait, you're staying?" Niall asked with a face full of confusion.  Oh great. 

"Holland. Harry wants you!" I said pointing towards the field.  Holland, being herself, believed me and ran off happily towards the field.  "Babe, you're staying? I'm so confused." Niall said walking with me again.  I bit my lip crazily, "Uhh....yeah.  Dad's too busy." I let my head drop, I feel bad for not telling him.  When I looked up Niall wasn't frowning at me.  Or mad!  

He took my cheeks and faced me towards him.  "How would you like to come home with me?"  My jaw hang, "Wait, are you serious?"  He nodded his head while smiling.  Part of me wanted to, part of me didn't.  Wouldn't that be scary...I don't know him too well.  Even though he's my boyfriend!  It's not like we're in a serious relationship to meet the parents or anything!  

"Don't you think people...will...I don't know...  Like we're going home together?  And your parents.." I asked nervously.  Niall chuckled, "First of all, don't worry about my parents.  I'm the baby of the fam and they spoil me."  I chuckled, waiting for him to continue.  "It's really all up to you.  You're welcome to come though."  ...well his face is tempting.  Just look at that little Nialler!  Gosh!

"Fine." I breathed.  Niall jumped up and down, "GOOD. I really didn't want you to say no."  I burst out laughing, "I guess it will be loads of fun."  "Oh it will!  We'll pass out candy together on Halloween, go to fear fest, meet the family, and watch movies." Niall rambled on.. Why was I doubting this before?  It will be awesome.  Saying I'm excited is an understatement.

I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly, "Thanks Niall."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"YOU ARE NOT. OH MY GAWD!" Chelle yelled flapping her arms.  "I am!" I chuckled at her craziness.  "SNOG A LOT. UMM..HAVE FUN...AND SNOG!" Chelle laughed.  I laughed too and replied, "I'm not leaving yet Chelley!"  After the football game, we're going to leave.  Which is tomorrow night...AHH.

"That's really adorable!" Eleanor joined in.  "Girls! You have to hear my new favorite song!!" Kirsten exclaimed plugging her Ipod into the Girls Hall's speaker.  We kind of took over.  Haha.  "It's Kesha's new song! C'mon!" Kirsten told us.   

It turned on, a good beat making my hips want to move.  I set my phone down and ran over to Kirsten.  Kirsten, Katherine, and I jumped around, I wish I knew the lyrics to sing along.  "Uhh Gracie, you might want to stop them." Kirsten said pointing behind me.  

Chelle, Holland, and El were on my phone...Okay...they could be doing anything!  I rushed over.  We basically had a tug of war trying to get my phone.  "Dude! Give me!!" I yelled.  Finally they let go, laughing hysterically and running away.  

There was a text from Niall, "Wait do you seriously want to know? Uh.. -Niall. x"   

And a text from Harry!?!?! "Damn! Nice babe;) -Harry. x"

 

Frick, what did they do?  I quickly searched through my sent box. There's a ton of new messages! Oh no!

To Niall: "HAYY BABAAYYY. I have an important question. Can I ask? -GraceXXXXXXXX"

To Niall: "JK I'm just going to ask.  Should I bring a thong? What kind is ur fav- the black lace from Victoria's secret??? -GraceXXXX"

To Harry: "Guess my bra size;)??!??! IT'S 34C. -GracieXXXXX"

To Niall: "How big is ur dick. Just wondering.  -GracieXXXXX"

 

 I covered my mouth in shock but couldn't help to laugh a little.  "Oh my gosh guys! You're so mean!" I joked!  Chelle, Eleanor, and Holland ran away, as I chased them in circles.  Finally I caught them and made them sit down.  "LISTEN UP.  WHO TEXTED WHICH MESSAGE." I yelled.  

Chelle slowly rose her hand, "Errr I did the dick one."  "I would of never guessed!" I chuckled.  "I did the bra one." Eleanor admitted.  "And I did the thong one." Holland said laughing.  I shook my head, "I am disappointed in you guys."  Obviously I was joking but they hung their heads low.  

Wait..I need to text back...QUICK. I looked back at their responses.  "OMG NIALL. THAT WAS MY FRIENDS. JUST IGNORE. -Grace. x"   "OMG HARRY. THAT WAS MY FRIENDS, PLEASE IGNORE. -Grace. x"  Glad they didn't send the dick one to Harry, I seriously think he'd tell me.  

"You sure about that sweetie? x) -Harry. x"  

 

 Wow Harry.  And how do they know my bra size?! Creeps.  "Guys lets dance again.  Since my song was interrupted." Kirsten chuckled.  We all jumped up when she played "Get Low" by Lil Jon.  "GUYS THIS IS MY SHIT. WATCH." Chelle screamed.  She pushed us out of the way and sang while dropping it,  "GET LOW. GET LOW. TO THE WINDOOOWW. TO THE WALL."

 

Some girls walked past, laughing amused at us.  Well- we are weird.  Holland stopped Chelle and tried to do it better than her.  "Oh I see, this is a competition." Eleanor smirked and danced crazy while shaking her hips.  I decided I should join now.  I jumped closer and since no one but my friends were watching I twerked my butt.  They burst out laughing with me.  "Gracie I love it." Chelle joked smacking my butt.  

"GUYS. Look in the window." Holland said with huge eyes.  We all turned, me getting up from my crazy dancing.  Wow, the double doors just had to have windows.  A mop of curls and the hyper friend of mine ducked down so we couldn't see them.  "Oh they are getting it." Chelle stomped over and swung the door open.  

They were on the ground hugging their knees.  "THAT WAS SO ENTERTAINING." Louis blurted, "GRACE YOUR ASS. YAY BIG BUM BUDDIES." Well great, my face is probably bright red.  Harry just smirked at me, his green orbs locked with mine.  "HARRY. LOOKIE HERE. HARRY!" Louis snapped his fingers in front of his face, trying to get his attention.  He finally turned away from me.  "Yeah?" Harry said slowly.  "WE'RE CAUGHT.  DID YOU NOTICE?" Louis yelled.  Harry whispered, "No shit sherlock!" 

Chelle glared at them, "Go back to the boys hall.  Thanks for eavesdropping."  "Grace said she'd hang out with me." Harry said standing up..brushing off his pants..even thought there was nothing.  "Uhh ummm...yeah..." I said, regretting it now.  

The girls all shoved me away with him.  "Love you guys?" I said while rolling my eyes.  Harry grabbed my wrist, pulling me out of the girls hall.  

He kept hold of my wrist and brought me outside.  "Where are we going?" I snapped.  It was slightly dark and only a few people walking around.  It wasn't time to be in our dorms yet..but it would soon!  "Come on!" Harry yelled jogging towards the football field.  I just followed him, who knows what he's up to.  

I leaned against a gate by the bleachers. Harry stood close to me with a hand above my head, holding onto the gate.  Rather close.. "Don't worry.  I won't do anything." Harry said amused at how nervous I was.  It was pretty chilly.  Making Harry's eyes brighten and his face look cold.   He exhaled loudly, his breath showing in the air.  "If I had a girlfriend..I'd take her here." Harry started to say while smiling crookedly, "I love the field, since I play.  Then we'd snog like crazy..for hours, or as long as she'd like."  

I couldn't help but to chuckle lightly.  The way he said it was cute.  I ducked my head under his arm, escaping.  "You do that Harry." I smiled.  I jumped up to the top of the bleachers.  I sat with my legs extended and head resting on the back.  Harry did the same but on the seat below me.  "I brought you here because.  Ermmm, Holland told me you weren't going home.  Since we're friends and all, do you want to come home with me?"  Harry asked. 

I smacked my hands over my face.  "Harry, I'm sorry. I'm going with...Niall."  Harry turned his head mumbling, "Son of..."  "Harry!" I smacked his shoulder.  He laughed, "I'm kidding. It's fine, I just wanted to ask."  I laughed quietly.  "But you better come back a virgin!" He warned.  I scoffed loudly, "You are unbelievable.  Truthfully I think I should be worrying more about you and that stuff."  

Harry swallowed and looked up, "Please don't tell me you think I'm a douche."  "What.  NO!" I said.  "Thank God. You're the last person I would want with that impression.." Harry explained, "It pisses me off.  Like ermm.."  I watched him closely.  His eyes squinted, watching the field so delicately.  "..ever since I came here I've always been a douche.  That's my title.  I hate it!  Everyone gets f*cking titles.  Louis' known as annoying and obnoxious.."  

"That's bullcrap! Louis is hilarious!" I interrupted him.  "Yeah exactly!" He raised his voice, "No one understands I don't want to be a douche! No one knows me.  Girls only want to do "things" with me...not to sound stuck up."  "Harry.." I said calming him.  He looked up at me.  

"I understand." I told him, he seems like a little boy who needs a hug.  Inside it was making me smile.  "Understand what?"  "I understand you don't want to be a douche.  And I want to know Harry, I want to know what no one knows about you."  Harry's grin showed it all.  He patted the bleacher seat next to him.  We sat in front of each other with our feet crossed.  "First of all.  Full name.  I sadly don't even know it." I said giggling.  

"Harold Edward Styles." Harry said blushing, but laughing.  "Harold!  Oh my!  Well hello Harold, I'm Grace Mackenzie Ross."  Harry smirked, "Why do you get the beautiful name?"  "I love the name Harry." I admitted.  Or it just fit him...not sure why I said that.  

"Errr family?" I asked.  Harry gulped and turned away, "I have a step-dad."  My jaw dropped, "Are they divorced?"  I was only comfortable talking because mine are too.  He nodded.  "I live with my dad.  My mom is in America.  With my sisters.." I admitted.  Harry looked at me closely, "Was it hard?" I nodded sadly.  "Same." He said, "I miss my dad.  Robin is great..but it's not the same."  I chewed on my lip.  Not sure why.  I never talk about this and I didn't know guys would talk about this kind of stuff to a girl.  

"Stop chewing your lip." Harry chuckled.  "Bad habit." I said under my breath.  "So how many sisters do you have?" I asked curiously.  "Just Gemma, she's older.  What about you?" Harry responded.  "Annalee's older and Leyton is younger."  "Cool names." Harry chuckled.  I shrugged.

"Since we're being so down.  What thing do you like about yourself?" I asked, curious of his answer.  Harry's eyebrows furrowed showing his train of thought.  "Ermm my hands.  Supposedly they're soft."   He replied looking at them.  I couldn't help but to blurt, "And massive!" Harry smirked and shoved his hand over my face.  I giggled and ripped if off.  "Come on, give it a feel..I know you want to.." Harry teased.

I smiled and clasped both my hands around his boy-ish ones.  "Yup..they're soft and big." I told him.  "What about you?" Harry asked.  Well I guess my hairs okay? Nah, it's pretty boring?  My eyes? Nah.. I answered stupidly, "My nails. They're good to paint."  Harry cursed under his breath.  "What?" My eyes widened.  "I was hoping you'd say your boobs and then say come on, give them a feel...I know you want to..."  Harry said laughing loudly. 

I smacked the back of his head.  "That is definitely NOT happening!" I yelled.

 After a while of me asking good questions..Harry wanted to give it a go.  I was going to ask about his singing, but I wasn't feeling it today.  

"Are you really a 34c?" He smirked.  "No matter how deep we get, you always have a perverted mind?" I chuckled.  "You didn't answer.." He laughed.  "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."  I wiggled my eyebrows.
