Kaya and Niall hate each other. He's her annoying next door neighbor who's made her life miserable ever since she was born. Kaya thinks Niall does it out of enjoyment. Or is it something else?

Harry orders a Banana Berry smoothie while I settle for a Strawberry Surf Rider.
We sit down just outside the smoothie shop, on the chairs and tables the shop set out for their customers. Harry paid for the smoothies, and I thank him, and he just smiles at me as he sips on his straw.
"The weather is nice." Harry comments after a couple minutes.
We've been sipping and watching our surroundings the whole time, and if I might say, it was awkward. I thought I was the awkward one, but really, it was Harry.
"Yeah." I reply, not knowing exactly what to say to that.
I thought that Harry would know what to say when he's got a girl in this kind of situation. Like maybe, flirt with the girl, not just sit there and catch glances at me as he sips and awkwardly smiles.
Maybe I've been thinking wrong. Or maybe he's nervous, not knowing what to say so he won't embarrass himself. If that's the case, then it's cute. Maybe I make him nervous. (Or maybe I'm boring.)
"So..." I hear Harry say, and I take my eyes away from a child not too far away who was running from his mom.
"Mm?" I was too busy sipping on my smoothie, and I look at Harry.
"Is your smoothie good?" He asks, and I try my best not to fall over and laugh. Of all the things he could've said, he asks me about my smoothie.
"It's, uh, it's great." I take the straw away from my lips and set my drink on the table. I give him a small closed smile.
"Mine too." He says, proceeding to read his cup. "You know, bananas are my favorite fruit. Do you like bananas?" He looks at me and I think he's just joking around, but after I look directly in his eyes— waiting for him to laugh—he doesn't. He was serious. Holy shit.
"Bananas... they're good." is all I say. Harry nods and closes his lips around his straw while he takes a long sip.
God, is this really the guy I've been crushing on for the past three years?
My phone beeps in my pocket and I take it out to look at the notification I got. Harry furrows his eyebrows together when he sees me look at my screen.
It's Niall. Oh, shit.It's Niall! I totally forgot about him.

where are you!?? it doesnt take long to get to the mall!!
How long has it been? I can't remember how long I've taken to get a smoothie with Harry and sat down. Maybe half an hour? Or has it been a full hour? I can't remember, but either way, I shouldn't have taken this long.
"Is everything okay?" Harry asks when I'm still staring at my screen. I touch the reply button and start to type.
"Yeah, my friend is looking for me." I say while my eyes remain fixed on my screen.
