"So are you going to tell me what this project is about," I say to Harry as we walk out of the classroom. 

"You should have been listening" 

"I told you, I was thinking about something else" 

"And what were you thinking of" You, I was thinking of you 

"Nothing that important" 

"Whatever" 

"So, what's the project?" 

"We have to make a presentation on cells" 

"Do we have to present it?" Harry takes a sharp breath in and I can tell that he is uncomfortable. 

"Yeah, we do. Sadly" 

"Why sadly" 

"I just don't like to present in front of people" 

"I can do the most talking if you would like" 

"Actually I would like that" 

"Alright then, I'll do most of the talking" 

"Thank you" 

"No problem. So do you want to work on it after school because I know that our teacher will not give us enough time to work on it, trust me I had him last year and he gave us two days to work on a huge project" 

"Okay, where do you want to work on it" 

"We can go to my house" 

"Sure yeah" 

"Alright, I am warning you though, I have six siblings" 

"That's a lot" 

"Yeah, but two of them don't live with us so you will only see the twins" 

"Okay, we can go to your house" 

"Great! I'll meet you in the cafeteria after school" 

"Sure" 

"Alright, well I'll see you later" 

"Yeah, see you later, bye" 

"Bye curly" He gave a small smile before walking the other way. 

... 

I wait in the cafeteria for Harry, I'm not sure if he'll show up. I don't think he likes me a lot but it's worth trying to be friends with him. 

I wait for ten minutes before he shows up. 

"What took you so long" I joked 

"I had some stuff to do in class, sorry" He looks at the ground 

"Don't be sorry, you had stuff to do, I totally get it" 

"Okay" He still doesn't look at me 

"Alright let's go, I'll drive" He nods his head and we walk to my car. I open the car door for him and he smiles, holy shit his smile is gorgeous. I walk around to the drivers' side and get it. 

"So curly, do you want to get something to eat before we go to my house" I look over at him and he is fiddling with his fingers. 

"I don't have any money on me" 

"That's not what I asked, I asked if you wanted to get something to eat" 

"Um, sure I guess" 

"Where do you want to go" 

"I don't care" His voice is quiet, I love it when he's shy like that. Okay yeah, I totally see how that is creepy.  

"I mean, if I pick, we're going to get fast food, so if you don't want fast food I suggest you say something or forever hold your peace" 

          

"I'm okay with fast food" 

"Alright then, fast food it is" I drive out of the parking lot and drive to the closest McDonalds. The car is dead silent, it's kinda awkward. Once we got our food I parked and we ate it in the parking lot, we made small talk but I could tell that he was super nervous. 

"You know you don't have to be nervous around me, I'm not going to judge you in any way" 

"I'm not nervous" 

"Yes you are, I can tell that you are" 

"I'm not nervous" 

"Okay then, well I'm going to drive to my house and you can continue to eat" 

"Mhm," He doesn't talk much does he. But that will change because he will have to talk to me about the project and if I get enough information from his friends I could probably have a proper conversation with him. 

I pull into my driveway and park the car. I look over to Harry and he is looking out the window at my house, it's not a fancy house so I don't know why he would be staring at it. I get out of the car and walk around to open the passenger's side door, when I do Harry snaps out of his daydreaming and gives a small smile while he got out. 

"Thanks" He whispered. 

"Don't thank me" 

"Why not" 

"There is nothing to thank me for" 

"But you opened my door for me" 

"I was being nice, now let's go in. You're lucky because all of my siblings are having a sleepover today" 

"So there will be no one there?" 

"Yup" I can see that he relaxed a bit when I said that. I lead him to the door and open it. "You can just leave your shoes over there" I point to where there is a pile of shoes messily put in a corner 

"Wow that's a lot of shoes" He giggles and it makes me smile like it always does. 

"What can I say, I have a mother who likes shoes and four small children" 

"I thought you said you only had twins for siblings" 

"I have four siblings that live in the house, there are two sets of twins so that makes four, and there is Fizzy who lives with my dad and Lottie who also lives with my dad" (Rest in peace Fizzy) 

"That sounds like crazy family" 

"Yeah it is, especially on holidays" 

"So where are we going to work" 

"We can go up to my room if you would like" 

"Sure" I smile and lead him upstairs to where my room was. It was quite messy but I think it'll be fine. I open the door and we walk in. 

"Sorry it's a bit messy" 

"It's fine" 

"You can take a sit anywhere" He sits on the edge of the bed and I sit on the chair by the desk. 

"So where do you want to start" 

"Well we can do some research and then decide what kind of presentation we want to do" 

"Okay" 

We work on the project for a few hours. Harry started to warm up and start talking a bit more, I like his voice, he's also very smart. 

We end up sitting on the floor with a big piece of paper in front of us. 

"I'm getting bored do you want to do something else for a while" 

"It's getting late I think I should get home" 

"I can drive you, I mean you don't have a way to get home" 

"Um, okay" We get up and Harry gets grabs his stuff and we walk downstairs. 

We get into the car and we drive in silence for a little bit. I look over at him and he is resting his head on this window. 

"Are you okay" 

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just tired" 

"Are you sure" 

"Yeah" 

"Okay" He gives me directions to his house and other than that he is silent. 

I pull into his driveway and say my goodbyes as he gets out and walks into his house.
