"what do you mean there's nothing there?!" I exclaimed, and went over to stand next to Harry by the window, sure enough, there was nothing there.

"Skylar, I think you're just stressed out from what's been going on the last few days" Harry said, and put his hand on my arm.

"Uh, ehm, yeah, probably" I stammered, flustered by his piercing green eyes.

"Do you still want to go to the movies?"

"Yeah, yeah, course I do" 

"Okay, then I will go and put a shirt on...." He said slowly and left. I watched as he shut the door behind him and then I bent down to pick up the shirt. I saw the note lying next to it, and I picked it up, reading it one more time before I folded it back up and threw it on my dresser.

~~~Harry and Skylar drive to the movies. I didn't want to write this part because well, nothing happens, and that would be boring~~~

Harry held the door open for me when we got to the movies. The smell of popcorn washed over me, making me smile. It reminded me of the times when me and my friends would come here and sneak into a bunch of movies.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Harry asked, interrupting my day dream.

"Uh, I'm not sure what's playing right now" 

Harry looked up at the sign that was showing what was on

"How about........Wolverine?"

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Or not, what about Percy Jackson?" He asked

"Sure, that sounds good"

We went and stood in line to buy the tickets. There was only one couple standing in front of us; a girl with bleach blond hair, a tight shirt, and a very very short skirt. The boy was taller than her but skinny, and he wore jeans and a leather jacket. The girl, who was clutching his arm, turned around, looked Harry up and down, then winked at him. She then looked at her boyfriend and squeezed his arm. Harry's eyes grew wide and he turned to me.

"Wow Harry, we can't go anywhere without girls looking at you, you sure you aren't some kind of celebrity?" I joked

"Yeah, I'm a world famous porn star!" He said and we both burst out laughing

The girl turned around and glared at me.

When the girl and the guy finally left it was me and Harry's turn.

"Two tickets to Percy Jackson please" Harry said, and ruffled his hair. The girl stared at him in awe for a moment before she rung it up on the register.

"Anything else?"

"Uh, do you want anything to eat, Sky" Harry asked me, lightly brushing his hand on my shoulder.

"Uhm, no thank you" 

The girl handed Harry the two tickets, not forgetting to glare at me. Do people think me and him are dating?

~~~ Harry and Skylar watch the movie, I haven't seen it so I can't really detail it. But basically nothing happens, then they drive home, and again nothing happens~~~

HARRY'S POV

On the way home, Skylar was virtually falling asleep, so when we got home she said "good night" gave me a hug, and went to bed. I wasn't tired yet so I just sat down on the couch, put my feet up on the coffee table, and starting thinking about Skylar.

Ever since Sabrina (the teenage witch) broke my heart, I was scared to like someone again, I just didn't want to make myself so vulnerable again. When she dumped me I got really into drinking and smoking; I was basically a mess. I don't want that to happen again. But with Skylar, everything was different, everything was....real. The way her eyes light up when she laughs, or the way she blushes when she's nervous, or the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's talking, or the way she nuzzles her head in my chest when we hug, or the way she doesn't always complain, even though life has been terrible to her. Even just thinking about her was making me smile, and I realized I was picking at my jeans. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend, I know it's sudden, but I have seen the way boys look at her wherever we go, and I don't want to loose her to someone else. How do I ask her though? It needs to be very special, she deserves something more than a simple 'will you be my girlfriend'
