Do you remember summer '09

chapter 1

MY POV

"I'm here" I texted my friend Emily after pulling into her driveway. I was stuck in traffic and was a half hour late for our biggest party of the year. we had been having this party every year since we were 13. I was always in charge of music, food, and drinks while Emily was in charge of setup and guest list, surprising me every year with new people.

"FINALLY! you're supposed to be hosting this party too! But meet me in the kitchen I want you to meet someone." was her reply. As I walked through her house I greeted everyone I knew, which was practically everybody, and thanked them for the compliments on my dress. when I got to the living room I saw someone I recognized but had never seen before at one of our parties. he had brown curls and striking green eyes. He smiled at one of his friends and I noticed his dimpled cheek.

"SARAH!" Emily called me from the doorway to the kitchen. it took me a second to realize I had been staring at him and that he would probably think I'm crazy if he saw me. when I got to the kitchen I was pleased to see more friends and that the food had turned out right.

"Sarah I want you to meet Connor. this is his first time at one of our parties." Emily introduced us over the thumping music.

"Yeah and it's the best party I've ever been invited to!" Connor replied.

"Thanks and its nice to meet you Emily's mentioned you before." I said ignoring her annoyed gaze. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked her making my way out of the kitchen and to her bedroom upstairs.

"Isn't he just the cutest?!" Emily squealed flopping onto her bed.

"Yeah you two seem good for each other, but that's not what I wanted to talk about."

"Well then is it your dress because that's the perfect little black dress"

"No it's about the guest list"

"UGH do we have to have this conversation every year! I know your not the most outgoing person but sometimes you just have to deal with talking to people you've just met." she said obviously annoyed.

"I meant to ask about that guy down stairs the one in the living room?"

"Oh yeah that's Harry he's one of Matt's friends I meant to introduce you to him. why?"

"Oh um he's just one of the people who haven't been here before. but he does look familiar." I replied trying to think of where I might have seen him before.

"Well I know that his family moved here from the UK about 5 years ago and that him and Matt always hang out" she said looking a little suspicious.

"So you don't really know that much about him?" I asked her.

"Not really but Matt was begging me to invite him"

When we walked back downstairs Emily went straight off to find Connor while I went back to the kitchen for some punch. on my way their I couldn't help but feel like someone was watching me. after I had gotten my drink I was headed for the back room to dance with some friends when I found my path blocked by a long arm stretched across the doorway. I looked up to see Harry's face peering down at me. His eyes staring straight into mine with so much intensity.

HARRY'S POV

"Hi" she said with a smile while her eyes flicked away then back to reconnect with mine, which happens to be my biggest turn-ons. She seemed really confident standing in front of me which surprised me because most girls I talked to would stutter and never look me in the eyes. Although she did have a sort of shy quality about her.

"Come with me" I told her grabbing her hand and pulling her onto to dance floor. they were playing a slow song and it was the perfect opportunity to make an impression on her. as we started to dance I couldn't help but notice the way her body moved, it was beautiful, a simple slow dance but she made it look flawless. The confused expression on her face had seemed to vanish as soon as we started dancing but I could still tell that she was a little taken aback by my actions.
