Bella's pov

Right now I was standing in front of an aghast Susan.
As I just asked her about one direction.
"Why do you ask?" 

"No reason." I shrugged

"Don't expect me to buy this. Now spill!" She retorted demanding back.

"Okay, Harold mentioned it once."

"Hmm"

"So tell me." I further pushed.

Then she told me that one direction was a British boy band with Zayn Malik and Harry Styles and three-four other lads that I don't remember of.

But what I am not getting is why did Harold all of a sudden mention this band. I mean there's nothing special about it except for the fact that Harry Styles was in it.

Nevertheless, I let it slip thinking that, it may be the only reason he mentioned it in the first place.

"Are you there Mi? It's time for our next lecture we'll be having it together. "

"Yeah I know"

"Do you know Mrs Little won't be coming today?"

"Why."

"Tbh. Because her daughter's getting married today. Seriously? You didn't know? Whole college is aware of this."

"Well. I wish a happy wedded life for her daughter." I said before entering our classroom

"Ah-almost done," I said with relief finally completing the last part of my assignment.

"So what did you guys talk about?" asked Susan.

"Just random stuff. "

"Okay. You know that's just not easy to believe, that you talked about "just random stuff" "

"Believe me, Susan," I said finally done with my pending work.

"Hmm. I see," said Susan.

When I glanced at her she had my phone in her hand and was going through my TEXTS!

I didn't even have to ask to confirm whose texts was she reading.

"Give my phone back Susan. Right now!" I jumped to get it but she held it up high, out of my reach.

"I see. I see what "random stuff"."

"Susan you're invading my personal space now." I snapped

"Well, don't you remember the time when you invaded my personal space and made me break up with my boyfriend?"

"Ouch! That hurt. Was I the one who made you break up with your "cheater" of a boyfriend ?"
I remarked sarcastically.

"Whatever it was...."

"Susan it was one month before, please return my phone. Now!"
I shouting whispered as I didn't want to grab the attention of everyone here.
And Susan couldn't get it she was taking it as a green signal to go through my phone.

"What I am saying is that the same way I will check if he is cheating on you."

"We aren't dating!".

"Okay. Okay. Chill! So let me check if he is having some bad intentions. "

"Urgh! Okay, you can do whatever you want but at least put my phone down?"
I said as I knew fighting with her was a waste of time she is too stubborn to listen.

"Why have you not saved his number?"
Susan asked curiously amidst her petty act of trespassing.

"Forgot."

"I see."

"SHUT. With this "I see" it's getting on my nerves!"

"You know it's my job, my honour."
She said adding a giddy smirk with it.

Harry's pov

I asked her about one direction it was so dumb move on my part.
I wanted to give her a hint about my actual identity.

Today morning I was very determined to tell her everything, though there was still a part of me which did not agree with this decision.
Nevertheless, I went for it I was going to tell her everything when she asked me to wait and then the situation took such a drastic turn.
I just couldn't make myself do it. I feared that I would lose this friendship if it is that.

If I told her that I was Harry Styles then she wouldn't just hate me as a pop star but also me as a person.

At the same time I didn't want to hide it from her for long, that was the reason I mentioned about one direction.
Maybe she would look into it and herself come to know that I am Harry Styles, the person she despises.

It would be less horrible than someone else telling her.
So I went for it.
However, I was not so sure about my decision.

Okay so here is my plan I'll ask her to meet in a restaurant. By the time if she discovers the truth she won't turn up and then I'll do something to make her understand why I did what I did, I would have to! However, if she turns up there would be two possibilities first that she knows nothing and second that she forgave me for hiding my identity, which has very slim chances, so I'll not go with this one.

I am officially in dilemma right now and she is the only one who could bring me out of it.

After debating with myself a lot I finally decided to text her.

That night

Bella's pov

It was 10 pm I was almost done with my daily chores.
I was doing some writing work when my phone beeped.
It was a message from an unknown number and I know exactly who it was.

I didn't know why I didn't save his number.

I opened the message it read
Hey there "I have not saved your number".

Change this horrible name right now I'm gonna save your number this instant.

What!? Do you mean you have not saved my number YET?

Well, I had other works to do.

Yep, you're right Miss President I forgot it takes two long long hours to save my number.

You know sarcasm is dripping from your mouth. Should I get you a napkin?

Now, who needs a napkin ;)

Hey, I don't like a winkey face...

O.Stop whining Lil child you're making my ears bleed.

Hahaha. Sorry not sorry

So come to the point why did you text me?

He took some time to text back.

You, remember I asked you that we could meet somewhere outside.

Ahaan I do

So if you were free we could set up a time and meet.

Where?

You are free that means

Well, it depends on where and when?

Uh, I'm free till Friday, so anytime as you wish and place too you can decide just make sure it's not crowded.

About which place...I am not quite familiar with places to hang out here so I'll keep it for you. Time and day I'll tell you...

Okay. I know a restaurant called "Original U.S. Restaurant" at 414 Columbus Ave in San Francisco.
So you tell me the day and I'll do the booking stuff.

Can I tell you by tomorrow?

Yeah. That's fine...

So are you going to tell me what you were going to tell me at the garage today?

That's what I plan on doing...

I chuckled at his hesitancy and wrote

Okay.

Good night Bella :)
Ps. I hope you're fine with a smiley face?

Sweet dreams Harold. I'm totally fine with it :)
