Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 2
Harry and I stood on the edge of the boardwalk, as the fireworks went off above us.
I was licking on my vanilla and chocolate ice cream cone, as the fireworks exploded into various colors.
I was slightly bitter about the fact that my new white sundress was covered with sand, since Harry had tackled me down on the beach earlier today, but the fireworks made up for it.
I barely got to have this much fun back in Maine, since my mother was always so strict.
I was starting to like the fact that I was in California with my dad... and Harry.
Suddenly, a loud explosion went off above us, as my head snapped up.
Written in the night sky was, "Kathryn, will you marry me?"
Immediately, a crown surrounding the boardwalk oohed, as a loud scream came off from an excited girl.
"Would you want someone to do that to you?" Harry asked beside me.
I licked the chocolate that was dripping from my cone, as I nodded.
"I guess so, it would be romantic." I smiled.
"Ah, I see. You're the chick flick type, aren't you?" Harry teased.
I chuckled, before turning a light shade of pink.
"No, of course not!" I stammered. "It's just a sweet thing to do for someone."
Harry stared at me with an amused grin.
"It's almost midnight, I should get you home, right?" he asked.
I shook my head. "No, it's okay. I took up enough of your time already. I can walk back alone."
Harry grinned with his blue-green eyes twinkling, even in the dark.
"No, it's not poite to leave a girl alone at midnight. I'll walk you." he insisted.
Not wanting to argue with him any further, I agreed.
I tossed my ice cream off into the nearest trash bucket, as we began walking off the boardwalk.
"So, do you want to tell me why you were so grumpy earlier today?" Harry asked.
I kicked a pebble with my black flip flop as we walked.
"I'm just bitter about moving here." I admitted.
Harry frowned. "Oh, you're new here? I should've known. I've never seen you around before."
I nodded. "Yeah, I just moved here a week ago, from Maine."
Harry seemed shocked. "Really? That's on the other side of the country!"
I laughed nervously. "I know."
Harry gave me a sorrowful look. "Don't worry, you'll love it here."
I looked up at the brunette, and raised an eyebrow. "How are you so sure?"
"You have me here, duh." he tilted his head.
I laughed, and slapped his shoulder. "You are so egoistic."
Harry briefly laughed.
I finally walked up the front steps of my house, that was surrounded by a white porch.
We stood near the door, as Harry and I turned to face each other.
"I'll see you tomorrow, right?" he asked hopefully.
I bit down on my lip, trying not to smile. "Sure."
Harry's face lit up, as he grinned boyishly.
"Awesome! I'll come meet you out here." he smiled. "W-with some of my friends..." he finished, seeming a bit off.
I frowned, before ignoring his sudden change of mood.
"Alright, sounds like a plan." I smiled.
I unlocked my front door, as I waved goodbye to Harry.
