You Are The Only Exception

You Are The Only Exception : Chapter 3

Everyone was staring at the two of us. I couldn't do it, I had major stage fright. My mouth became dry of all saliva, my face became warm, and began to wonder if I looked as pale as I felt. I began to try and sing, and luckily it came out smoothly, sounding exactly like my normal singing when I was in the shower, or most likely the music room.

"You're insecure, don't know what for, your turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or." I sang, and Harry began to join in.

"Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you. Baby you light up my world like nobody else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. and when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell you don't know oh oh! you don't know you're beautiful."

Once we were finished, and off the stage I hugged Harry. My way of saying thank you. I had conquered my stage fright for the first time in my life, and I think I've made a new friend today. I miss-judged the famous Harry Styles.

After school that day, I turned on my cell phone. So many missed phone calls. Who could be calling me? They were mostly the people from school that I haven't spoken to in years, or at all since I started high school. I listened to the ones that left a message, and take a wild shot in the dark about what they were asking me about...

"Are you dating Harry Styles? I saw you hug him after lunch!" I listened to the first message.

"You and Harry are going to be the hottest couple ever!" Another message I listened too said.

This is unbelievable! I am not, nor will I ever be dating Harry Styles! I sighed, and shoved my phone in my pocket without another word. I spotted Harry over with his band members, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn.

"Harry, I need to talk to you." I approached him.

"How come?" He asked, giving me a confused look while the other four watched our conversation intently.

"Everyone thinks we're dating. I've had so many voicemails from people I barely know asking if we're dating, and saying we're going to be the hottest couple. Only because I hugged you." I said, and looked at Louis who was smirking. "Once." I added.

Harry sighed, and nudged Louis who was about to break into laughter.

"What're you thinking.. eh Harry?" Niall asked, smirking.

Harry didn't reply to Niall, he looked at me and asked me an embarrassing question.

"Do you agree that we'd make a good couple?" He asked.

My cheeks turned red. "Oh, uh. I don't know..." I lied. "I guess so?"

Harry laughed. "Good to know. Well, I don't know what to do. I guess just let them talk about it. It'll wear off eventually. Haters make me famous." He joked.

"That's true. Well, I'll be off." I smiled, and began to walk off when Harry stopped me.

"No, you don't have to go. You can chill with us if you'd like." He offered.

"Oh, okay." I smiled, and walked back to where I was orginally standing.

We went to Harry's house, all six of us. The house was beautiful, but it was empty until we got there. The outside looked like any other ordinary house, but the inside was, extraordinary. There was one room, which was all video games, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, every video game system you could imagine.

But my favourite room was the music room. Microphones, guitars, a drum set, microphone stands, etc... It was my heaven. Harry laughed at my admiration for the room, and I nudged his arm.

"Don't laugh at me." I giggled.

He smirked, and nudged me back, then I nudged him again, and we kept elbowing each other back and fourth until Niall had to break us up, by throwing himself in between us, and he ended up falling on the floor. Which was adorable, in my opinion.

"Nialler you're gonna hurt yourself." Harry said, helping him up.

"Don't be such a flirt then, and I wouldn't have to throw myself between you." Niall teased.

"Oh shut up." Harry replied.

We hung out outside in the backyard. In ground pool, beautiful plants, finished deck, and the stone around the pool matched the backyard perfectly.

"Well, this is probably Louis' favourite part of my house." Harry said, glancing at Louis, and looking back at me.

"I can see why. It's amazing back here." I said.

"Well, thank you." Harry smiled. "Shall we go for a swim?"

Before any of us could reply, Louis had already jumped into the pool, clothes, shoes and all creating a large splash.

"Louis!" Zayn exclaimed. "Watch where you're splashing the water!"

"Never!" Louis replied sarcastically.

Harry had taken off his shoes, and his shirt, and had joined Louis in the pool. Soon enough, Liam, Zayn and Niall had joined them, shirtless. The only one with a shirt was Louis but he didn't seem to care.

"Are you coming or what?" Harry swam up to the edge of the pool where I was standing.

"I don't want to have to walk home with wet clothes." I sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll lend you mine if you'd like." Harry offered.

I smiled, and took off my shoes and my sweater, now I was only in my tank-top and Jean shorts. I jumped in the pool on purposely creating a rather large splash and swam over to Harry. He smiled, and splashed the water at me a bit. Instead of splashing him back, I jumped towards him, and pushed him into the water my body pressed against his in between the bubbly water.

Once the two of us had re-surfaced I giggled, and realized how close my body was to Harry's. He smiled, revealing his dimples which were absolutely adorable; and then Louis voice came from behind us.

"Would you two stop looking at each other and kiss already!" Louis rolled his eyes.

I giggled and didn't move a muscle. Harry had leaned in and kissed me like he had been longing too this whole time. I of course kissed him back, I wouldn't have just left him hanging. I heard the boys cheering and whistling off in the other end of the pool; Niall's voice was the loudest and most familiar of the other 3 boys'.

I pulled away and stared into Harry's eyes. I seemed to not be able to stop giggling. He was still holding me in a rather comfortable way, and I was enjoying this moment. Until the boys HAD to come wreck it. Niall grabbed me, and playfully pulled me under the water, as well as Zayn. Liam and Louis grabbed Harry and pulled him under water too.

'Cute' I thought.

I wasn't the best swimmer; so It was quite complicated to stay away from Niall and Zayn, and keep myself above water at the same time. I had climbed out of the pool to try and escape them, but that plan backfired.

'Where's Harry?' I thought, looking around the pool. There was everyone except curly-sue.

I turned around, and there was Harry. He ran towards me, lifted me off my feet and literally threw me into the pool. The other boys surrounded me, and Harry jumped in after me. I didn't care what I was doing for the rest of the day; I had my first kiss with Harry Styles. It was OUR first kiss.

"Okay, Okay. Guys! I know I'm awesome and everything; but please. Don't surround me." I laughed.

"Yes, Miss.Sphinx!" Harry said sarcastically.

"Don't be so sarcastic." I winked at him, and swam away.

Once I was shrivelled up like a prune (Not really) I had got out of the pool, and dried off my clothes the best I could by laying on the cement face up, with the sun.
