After my 7 hour shift, I was finally free to go and relax at home. Not really "relax"... All I'd probably do is cut again. It was 7:42 p.m, and I never had anything to do at that time.
Time went by, and I had just remembered that I had the paper Harry has given to me. It was very difficult to whether or not hang out with him. My mind was all over. I hated thinking.
I finally made a choice, and I have decided to hang out with Harry. Just to get to know him better. I can't lie, when we met, it was very awkward, but Harry seemed chill and I chose to give him a try and get to know me better, too.
To: Harry
"hey harry, its mae. the girl from the record store? yeah... well you told me to text you whenever I wanted to. I was thinking that we should go somewhere and get to know each other? i understand if you don't want to."
Right then, I felt unsure about myself. Thinking about the fact that I might meet up with some handsome looking guy I met at work. I started to catch myself overthinking again, until I felt and heard my phone vibrate.
From: Harry
"Hello Mae! x I'm glad you texted. I had a feeling you weren't going to. Other than that, that sounds like a good idea! Prefer the arcade? :)x"
I discovered his texting skills were cute. No guy has ever used a smiley face on me, even the kiss sign. I caught my cheeks turning into a bright pink.
To: Harry
"Why wouldn't I text you Harry? You seem like a really nice guy, I thought over it, and I decided that I want to get to know you."
I immediately felt stupid for sending that last text to him. I ran out of words, and I never knew what to say. I couldn't find the right words. As soon as my phone vibrated again, I opened it to see that it was from Harry.
From: Harry
"Aw :)xxx I will take that as a compliment. I'll pick you up at 8:30. Where do you live?"
I kinda felt awkward telling him the directions to my flat, but I guess I had to tell him anyway. I could feel like I could trust him already. I don't know why... He has a very special affect on me.
From: Harry
"Okay, I will be there. Stay beautiful! :)xx"
I could say that I was horrified. I honestly did not want Harry to find out that I'm a self-harmer. I didn't want to scare him off just like that. I promised myself that I'd never bring that subject up. I don't want him to see me as a depressed fool. I wasn't so siked about my outfit, either. I only just tried to cover up my cuts and scars.
My doorbell finally rang, and I knew for a fact it was Harry. I was unsure about this whole thing, but I just wanted to get it over with. I remembered it was my idea anyway.
I opened the door, and it was the tall guy, with the chestnut brown curls, and the very beautiful green eyes that I have met at work. It was Harry.
"Hello, beautiful." he smirked.
"Hi Harry." I smiled, to show respect.
"You look flawless." he complimented.
I was very flattered to be complimented by the most perfect-looking guy ever. I caught myself blushing again.
"T-T-Thanks.. You look good too." I halfly smiled.
"Aw, haha thanks. Let's get going." he spoke.
The car ride to the arcade wasn't as much as awkward as I thought it would be. He actually spoke up, and questioned me, trying to get to know me. He asked me a lot of questions. I was surprised. During the car ride, he made me smile a lot. I don't know how, or why. Maybe it was his funny self. The car ride went on, and I got to know him a bit better. I began to think that hanging out with him was a good idea. I found out that Harry was different.
