Just A Heartbeat Away [One Direction Fanfiction]

Ch. 2

SOFIA'S P.O.V

5:15 am.

I awoke with the sound of my alarm clock. I'm probably getting used to this.

Second day of school.

As usual, I did my everyday routine.

Take a bath, dress up, eat.

I'm surprised dad has joined us eating. He's never with the family.. Always busy with his so-called "work".

"Morning dad." I say with a small smile.

"Can't talk honey, I'm late for presenting my report." he says in a rush, bursting out the door and into his car.

My smile became a frown. I guess I had wrong thoughts..

"Good news honey." my mom says, getting something from the counter top.

"I found your iPod."

I smiled at her as she handed it to me. But somehow, I still had a frown upon my sleeve.

"What's wrong?" mom asks.

"Dad never has time for us anymore." I say.

"I know, sweetheart. He's a busy man."

I looked down my plate, which I haven't noticed was already empty.

Good thing I had 5 minutes left before the school bus gets here.

I opened up my iPod, checking my twitter.

Wow. I have never had mentions like these before.

All of them saying: "Take me with you to the party!!" from all my batchmates.

Honestly,

It's getting annoying.

BEEP BEEP!!!

"Better hurry along now, don't wanna be late for school." mom said. I left my iPod on the table and grabbed my school bag, going for the door.

I waved my mom good bye and left.

I opened up my locker, which I personalized with little star stickers. I grabbed my schedule.

History.

I was expecting better.

Not bothering to look for my friends, I went to find my classroom. I can see that Cielo was beside an empty seat.

"Mind if I sit there?" I asked her.

"Hey!" she says happily.

I smiled and sat down.

History was not all that boring after all.

The teacher kept sneezing and making weird faces. I hope he gets well soon..

"Dismissed." the teacher said.

I Picked up my books and joined Cielo to going to the lunch table.

We already saw the girls seated in the lunch table, munching on cafeteria food.

Me and Cielo sat down.

"How's your class?" I asked them, getting a sandwich out my lunch bag.

"Pretty basic." Martina says in a dull yet chippy tone.

"The boys are coming tomorrow!" Hannah exclaimed.

Shit.

I totally forgot Harry was coming back tomorrow. This is my chance.

Maybe I could actually be friends with him.

But not quite sure yet.

Maybe even more than friends..

The school bell rang, interrupting my thoughts.

Not bothering to ask who was with me in my next class.

I checked my schedule.

"English?" Hannah asked, smiling.

I bobbed my head back and forth, slowly.

We both walked together to the English classroom.

After school, Gaby and I walked home my house.

A note was left in the kitchen table.

Hey honey!

I have to pick up groceries. I'll be back in 1 hour.

-Mom

Cool. Me & Gaby could actually have girl time.

Gaby grabbed the chips from the cabinet above the countertop.

"Buy drinks?" she asked me, innocently.

I groaned a little and grabbed my allowance money.

"Lock the doors till' I come back." I told her.

I walked around the village at the middle of afternoon, trying to find the nearest convienence store.

Yes.

Finally found one.

Gaby didn't tell me what drinks to buy.

I quickly twiddled my thumbs on my phone.

"What drink?"

"Root beer pls."

"kk"

I closed my phone.

I got the medium sized bottle of root beer for us to drink.

As I was counting my change going home, I bumped into someone.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, jerk!" I say, looking up.

"Sorry." his husky voice says.

I squinted my eyes to get a better view of his face.

"Hi, I'm Harry." he says.

What?!?

He's already here?!?

Gosh.

Rumours are wroong.

"Hey, I've seen you before. Are you my neighbor?" he says.

I nodded awkwardly.

"I--I'm Sofia." I say.

"I'm having a party on Friday, and I was wondering if you would like to.. Come?"

My heart skipped a beat.

Did he just ask me to come to his party?

"Okay.." I say.

"Okay. I'll be expecting you.. Bye." he waved as he walked away.

My phone went on. I realized it was Gaby.

I rushed home, mind still wondering.
