She's Not Afraid

"So, it is the same thing?"

                “That is really against the rules,” I said, then giggled, which was really out of character for me.

                He rolled his eyes and started chasing me around the pool. I knew he was going to throw me in if he caught up, so I dove in by myself. Why give him the satisfactory of succeeding to throw me in.

                I didn’t bother diving in, even though I was still in my clothes. Who cares? They can always dry.

                When I came up from under water, I saw Harry still on the edge of the pool smirking. “I win.” He says. I roll my eyes, wading my way over to him. If I can’t win the physical way, I will try a different approach.

                I swim over to where he’s now kneeling so that we can be at eye level. Still in the water, I put my hand on top of his on the edge of the pool. He looks me straight in the eye as I return the favor. “In your dreams.” I whisper into his cheek, trying my best to be seductive. I can feel his hot breath on the side of my face as I do so. I lean out a little, so I can see his face properly. His eyes are closed, probably in anticipation of what will happen next. His lips are parted slightly, in the perfect kissing position. My fingers entwine with his and I make the next move.

                SPLASH.

                “You tease,” Is the first thing Harry says once he is above water again. I smirk, knowing I had succeeded in my attempt in seduction. That was my plan all along. To pull him into the water. I look at Harry, slowly swimming my way. His eyes are darker than they usually are, I’ve only seen his like this once before. And it ended in us snogging.

                “Only in public, Harry, remember?” I ask, sarcastically. I swam towards the edge of the pool, wanting to get away from Harry right now. I looked behind myself to find Harry swimming quite fast after me. I swam to the edge of the pool and turned around to find him already right there. He pinned me up against the wall, his hot breathe brushing over my face.

                “It doesn’t have to be…” His raspy voice whispered in my ear. It took all I had to not give in right then and there. I knew he was taking up my strategy and trying to be seductive but, he was way better at it than I was.

                I put my hands on the edge, hoisting myself up to sit on the border of the pool, with the lower part of my legs still in the water. “Mmm, yes it does.” I said, giving him a look.

                “Not if you don’t want it to be,” He said, teasingly brushing his hand over my thigh that was now at his eye level. His hand then connected with mine and he brought it to his lips and planted a kiss like I was royalty. He entwined our fingers and I tried to pull away as soon as possible but he had a very strong grip on my petite hand. I stood to my feet, practically ripping my hand away from his.

                “But Harry,” I said, kneeling back down to look at him face to face. “I want it to stay like that. Only for the paps.” With that, I stood back up and walked inside.

                I headed straight for my room on the second floor, wanting to get out of my drenched clothes. I changed into simple football shorts and a Nike t-shirt. I brushed through my hair and put it in a messy bun, not knowing what else to do with it. I sat on my bed, snatching up my iPhone and pulling up Twitter. I looked at my many new mentions and other notifications.

                Wow, ok I gained a lot of followers.

                I looked at my mentions and immediately regretted it. That’s the most hate I’ve ever seen since….I don’t even know when. I’m not even going to say any of it, because it was so mean, you can’t even imagine.

                I don’t know how long I sat there, thinking about all the hate I was receiving. Was I really a slut? Was I really that ugly?

                The only thing that saved me from my brutal thoughts was a soft click every now and then coming from the window. I looked over after about the third click and noticed the window was closed. I kept staring at it, until I heard a fourth click and a small circular object (a pebble, probably) hit the outer surface. I walked over to the window and opened it, seeing one of my best friends.

                “You said any day…” He started, scratching behind his head. I smirked, I get to kick two butts in one day.

                “I know you want this, but the question is, can you handle it?” I asked Niall, quoting him from the day of the shooting of the music video. I saw him smile and wave for me to come down and meet him in the back yard.

                I practically sprinted downstairs and outside, almost knocking over Louis in the process. “In a rush, are we?” He smirked at me.

                “Just a little,” I replied, continuing to run outside and over to Niall on the football field. He was in the middle of kicking the ball into the goal at one end of the grass. He smiled when he saw me.

                “Ready to get your arse whooped?” He asked me. I smirked at him, knowing it would be the other way around.

                “Depends, ready to get beaten by a girl?”

                “You’re on.”
