Chapter 75

"Life is such a beautiful gift of God...God made animals, humans, mysterious things and then...He made me...

THIS IS WHY I'M SINGLE!!!!" Harry shouted as Kate sat in front of him and chewed a sandwich.

"*Chew Chew*"

"I MEAN- TILL DATE I SLEEP DIAGONALLY ON MY BED, I MAKE FOOD FOR TWO AND EAT IT ALL!

"*Chew Chew*"

"ALL BECAUSE THE GIRLS I FIND ATTRACTIVE ARE EITHER FAMOUS, TAKEN, TWICE MY AGE, IN A K-POP GROUP, DOESN'T LIKE ME BACK, DON'T KNOW I EXIST, DOESN'T EXIST HERSELF, DEAD OR LESBIAN!" Harry said.

"*Chew Chew*"

"HONESTLY SPEAKING, I THINK I'M SINGLE BECAUSE I DIDN'T FORWARD THOSE CHAIN MESSAGES IN 2008. I MEAN, EVEN F**KING JEREMY WEASTE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!" Harry shouted.

"*Chew Chew*"

"I THINK….MAYBE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE GOT STUCK IN A C*NDOM"

"*Cough* *Chew* *Chew*"

"AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME COUPLES PUT 'SINGLE' ON THEIR STATUS WHEN THEY FIGHT, I MEAN, I NEVER PUT 'ORPHAN' ON MY STATUS WHEN I FIGHT MY PARENTS!!!"

"*Chew Chew-"

Harry grabbed the sandwich from Kate and glared at him "WHY ARE YOU CHEWING IT SO MUCH?!! ARE YOU A COW?! HEY!! SAY SOMETHING!!!" He said.

"...I was eating that" Kate said as all the bread crumbs from his mouth landed on Harry's face.

"I mean...say something about my problem." Harry said.

"What is your problem?" Kate said.

"I was called to the gym by this girl....and apparently she handed me a love letter to pass it to Jaden." Harry said.

"Wait- You're single?" Kate said.

"No, my girlfriend is so pretty, looking all INVISIBLE AND SHIT!"

"No, I mean, why are you single? You're attractive, intelligent and creative." Kate said.

"I'M OVERQUALIFIED" Harry said.

"So what's your type?" Kate said.

"My type? Someone who is warm, and supportive. Someone I can just curl up and relax with. Someone who is always there for me-...." Harry paused suddenly.

"What happened?" Kate said.

"...I just realized I'm describing my bed again." Harry said.

"THIS IS WHY YOU'RE SINGLE!!" Kate said "YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FIND A GIRL IF YOU DO THAT! GIVE ME A SERIOUS ANSWER!!"

"AW COME ON! STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING SINGLE! WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS HERE LIKE WHY MCDONALDS DOESN'T SERVE BREAKFAST AFTER 10:30!" Harry said.

"I'M COMPLAINING???! YOU STARTED IT!!!" Kate said.

"Yeah Harry, admit it." MJ said as he took the sandwich from Harry and took a bite of it.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Harry said.

"Well...."

*Flashback*

*BANG BANG*

"Who is it?" MJ said from his room.

"FBI! OPEN UP!!" The people standing outside his door said.

"...No, it's cooler when you break the door." MJ said.

"SHUT UP AND OPEN IT!!"

"Don't usually girls open it?"

"BREAK THE DOOR!!"

*BANG BANG*

MJ jumped out of the window and opened his parachute.

After he landed in between a couple sitting on a bench, he said "Sorry, man! I'm starving."

"And that guy's cheating on you." MJ said as ran away.

"NO! HE'S LYING DARLING!" The boy said.

The girl threw the gift he had given to her on his face and left.

"Un...I was just passing by until I saw this sandwich and a wizard so I just couldn't control my feet." MJ said.

"This is why you're single." Harry said.

MJ looked at his reflection on a nearby glass window

"No wonder I'm single…I'm so ugly...

Ahhh I'm just messing with you gorgeous!" MJ said to his reflection "Are you free this Sunday?"

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!??!" Harry said.

"Back to you. 90% of my socks are single and you don't see them crying about it." MJ said.

"HOW CAN I SHUT YOU UP?!" Harry said.

"Feel free to use kisses to shut me up anytime." MJ said with a smile.

"EW GROSS!!!... *Sigh* Well, I'm happy at least some people are in their normal condition..." Harry said and looked at the letter.

"I THINK…I KNOW WHAT TO DO!!" Harry said.

Next day at school....

Harry passed the letter to Jaden and told him the entire story.

"Aww... How sweet of her." Jaden said as he looked at the letter.

"So, you'll accept it?" Harry said.

"Let's see. I'll try to answer her ASAP." Jaden said as he covered his lips with the letter.

"*Sigh* Seems like I'm gonna die in solitude..." Harry said as he lay on the rooftop.

"No shit! But why do you think that, wizard?" MJ said as he lay beside him.

.........

"WHAT THE HELL!! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!" Harry said as he quickly got up.

"Ha ha"

"WHY ARE YOU HERE IN THE FIRST YEAR'S BUILDING?!" Harry said.

"I'm here to return Brandon's jersey to him. Where is he?" MJ said.

"He is having a basketball match in the court." Harry said.

"Then what are you doing here?" MJ said.

"Can't you see? I'm basking in the sun and cutting class." Harry said.

"So...Did you give Jaden the letter?" MJ said.

"Yeah...I did" Harry said.

"So, what did he say?" MJ said.

"He said he'll think about it." Harry said.

"So sad…If Jaden's gonna date anybody, Harry's gonna be all alone again." MJ said.

"Well…now that you say it...I think it is true." Harry said as he looked at his feet.

"Oh don't worry wizard! You're always welcome at my class." MJ said as he patted Harry's back.

"NO THANKS!!" Harry shouted.

MJ laughed and then looked at Harry "Say, you like Smith, don't you?"

"What? NO! I'M TOTALLY STRAIGHT!" Harry said.

"I mean, he's hot and athletic and muscular and kind...totally my type!" MJ said.

"DON'T YOU DARE LAY YOUR DIRTY EYES ON HIM, YOU PEDO! HE'S YOUR JUNIOR!!" Harry shouted.

"What? You don't wanna share him~" MJ said teasingly.

"I- IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT, YOU PERVERT!" Harry shouted.

"Chill down. I was just kidding. Besides I've got a blind date today, see ya" MJ said and trolled towards the stairs.

Harry stood there and looked at the terrace door.

'If Jaden's gonna date anybody, Harry's gonna be all alone again.'

"But I don't want that!I MUST STOP IT AT ANY COST!" Harry said as he clenched his fist.

Harry ran towards the basketball field.

There was an intense match going on in the court. The court was covered with the sounds of basketball shoes and shouts of girls.

Brandon and Jaden were on the same team.

"JADEN!!!" Harry shouted but his voice was merged in all the other girls' voices.

But surprisingly, Jaden turned towards him.

Harry looked at him as his eyes widened. They had an eye contact for at least 10 seconds.

Brandon ran towards the basket and did a powerful dunk while breaking all the defences.

"JADEN!! REBOUND!!!" Brandon shouted.

"Eh- Uh!" Jaden said as he looked here and there while the opposite team took the ball.

"YOU IDIOT!!" Brandon shouted as he ran towards Jaden.

The opposite team did a basket and finally, the whistle blowed. The opposite team won by a score difference of merely 1 point.

"JERK!! COME WITH ME!!" Brandon said as he grabbed Jaden's collar.

Brandon was sweaty and breathing heavily due to all the running. His hair was wet and his skin was glowing.

The scent of his cologne was now stronger and his white T- shirt almost became see through.

"KYAAAA!!! THAT LOOKS SO ROMANTIC!! YOU ARE TAKING PICTURES, RIGHT?"

"IT'S GAY!!!!" Another one said as she looked at Brandon and Jaden.

"I SHIP HIM WITH THE PRINCE SO MUCH!!!"

'Tsk! It's not even that good! That's just gross!' Harry thought and marched towards Jaden.

"Jaden, I need to talk to you about something." Harry said.

"Yeah, sure. Mind if I change first?" Jaden said.

"Yeah" Harry said and accompanied Jaden to the locker room while all the other guys were packing up the equipment and the girls surrounded Brandon.

"Can't believe I lost. So uncool." Jaden said as he opened his locker and took out a blue shirt.

"Yeah...but it's okay. I know you'll do amazing next time." Harry said.

"Yeah!" Jaden said and took off his T- Shirt.

"Ugh! I'm totally wet with sweat. Where's the towel?" Jaden said as he looked into his locker.

Harry turned the other way and looked at Brandon's locker.

"So, what did you wanna talk about?" Jaden said.

"Well...Un...What is your answer?" Harry said.

"To what?" Jaden said.

"That letter...." Harry said.

"I don't know yet. *Chuckle* I don't even know her that well but I think maybe.... Hey, what are you looking there?"

"N- Nothing" Harry said.

"It can't be nothing. Look at me while you talk." Jaden said.

"JEEZ! First wear a shirt! I don't talk to nude people." Harry said.

"*Chuckle* What? You're embarrassed or just gay?" Jaden said as he walked towards Harry.

"It-It's nothing that. My brother roams around nude in the house all the damn time." Harry said.

"Then? What's the problem now?" Jaden said.

"IT'S JUST THAT-" Harry shouted as he turned towards Jaden.

Jaden was right behind him.

Harry looked down and said "Too close..."

"Huh?" Jaden said.

"I SAID You're too close, get away!" Harry said as he pushed Jaden's chest.

"Okay okay" Jaden said as he moved back.

"I- I'm going back" Harry said and ran out.

"HEY! WAIT- HARRY?!!!" Jaden shouted but Harry continued running without turning back.

He rushed towards the terrace and closed the door.

"His skin…I touched his skin....and the worst part is...

I CAN'T BELIEVE I LIKED IT!!!" Harry shouted.

Don't tell me this is what you feel...

When you love someone?
