Seeing as it was now 6 O'clock on the ancient looking brown oak clock only doubled Harry's nervousness. He dropped on a white couch in Seth's living room and pretended once again to watch TV with his friends. It did little to distract him from the butterflies in his stomach but it did manage to keep him from pacing alongside the room. Every once in a while a grunt would be heard from Tyson who was the biggest sport fan in the room, his favorite was football but FIFA also managed to glue him in front of the TV on beautiful sunny days.
"Are you sure you told them to be here around six?" Harry asked Seth nervously. He didn't get an answer until commercials came on.
"Told who?" Seth blinked at Harry, who was now paling yet deep down relieved a little.
"Nikki and Holly!" Harry half shouted back and after a few more blinks Seth finally grinned.
"Oh yeah, them."
"So…?"
"So what?" Seth blinked again making Harry grit his teeth.
"YOU SURE YOU TOLD THEM TO BE HERE AT SIX???!!"
"Whoa. Chill Jimmie. I told them…unless I called the wrong number and people with the same voice answered who knew my voice and—"
"OK. Thanks," Harry once again had the urge to get up and start pacing again and TV wasn't helping this time.
"Why are you so tense over it?" Castor asked without looking at Harry. His eyes rested coldly on Marko, it seemed as though he hadn't forgiven him yet. Harry made a metal note to find out what was going on between the two after he cleaned up this mess, it didn't look too good.
"I just have to clear something up," He said feeling a wave of nausea wash through him.
"Does it have anything to do with all the rumors going around bout you and Holly?" Tyson asked now interested in the conversation.
"The rumors aren't—" Harry protested.
"Nope. It's gotta be about the kiss Niki planted on him," JJ smirked punching Harry on the arm as he and Seth began howling.
"Wha…who…how the hell did you find out?" Harry demanded glaring at JJ who gave him a large grin.
"Niki is my next-door-neighbor, we spend every weeknight watching cheesy horror movies together. You'd think she'd tell me these things!"
"But…But…"
"But what?" came a familiar girl voice.
"Niki! You're here!!!" Harry said whipping his head around to see her surprised expression.
"Am I not supposed to be," She said unsurely and as Harry opened his mouth to reply Holly came in.
"Hi Holly," Seth said loudly making Niki turn around quickly to see her.
"Hi…I though it was only gonna be you, JJ, and me" she said to Seth though her eyes were on Harry.
"Change of plans," Seth shrugged.
"Actually I…wanted to talk to you two. Together," Harry said nervously trying to look each of them in the eye an equal amount of time.
Even for Niki and Holly's confused expression, both girls quickly agreed to talk to Harry and followed him to Seth's bedroom. They each sat at different ends of the bed and Harry nervously settled down on the floor in front of the both of them. It took him an intake of a deep breath to gather enough courage to open his mouth.
"I like you both," Harry said bluntly making the two girls raise their eyebrows, but he kept going, "in different ways, but enough to want to have you as a girlfriend. I really do, except I'm too young. You guys are older than me and wiser about the whole dating thing…but I finished grade 5 only a week ago, I'm too young for this stuff. The two of you are older so you might not understand the way I feel but thinking about having a girlfriend fills my stomach with butterflies and makes me feel like I'm trapped in a windowless box. I just wish we could all go back to the way things used to be and hang out at the beach and stuff our faces with hotdogs."
"I'm sorry," Niki stuck out her bottom lip the way she usually did when she felt guilty, "I shouldn't have kissed you—"
"You kissed Jim!" Holly stared at her enviously.
"It was an accident," Niki's blush would've made tomatoes jealous, "I'm sorry Jim. You really are too young for these things."
"Me too," Holly was now blushing as well, "gosh I'm so stupid! Urgh."
"Ditto that, I feel like a jerk," Niki gave Holly an emphatic smile.
"I should've known we were gonna fall for the same guy…ever since you told me about your crush on Peter Criss," Holly grinned at her.
"And Slash!" Niki said grinning back, "we have the weirdest taste in guys."
"Yeah, Jim and Sid Vicious are probably the only normal ones," the two girls were now laughing, "remember that time we made out with our KISS action figures??"
Harry wasn't sure what to think. He was glad that the girls were happy, but he had expected a little bit of a disappointment after how much they seemed to like him. Now looking at their grinning faces Harry was forced once again to remember that he truly knew nothing about girls. He sighed heavily and left the two girls alone in Seth's room, glad that at least he had gotten himself out of this mess though kind of sad at the same time. Sirius was right however, I'm going to Hogwarts in less than 2 months and there is no point in hurting either girl…or myself, Harry thought grimly. Letting out another sigh he jumped over one of the white couches tackling JJ to the floor. Now he could finally sit and enjoy the FIFA game with his buds…or not.
A/N: Harry's off the hook for now…but not for long. Sorry for taking so long to update but I had a bit of writer's block plus my first taste of grade 11 (VERY SCARY!!!), but I'm not gonna abandon this story cause I like it too much and I'm glad you guys like it too. Thanks again for all your reviews ask any questions you have. Oh and trust me the whole Niki vs. Holly hasn't ended since Harry still likes both girls a lot. Who would you guys rather have him be with?? Holly his long-time crush…or Niki his best friend? Vote if you want, cause I can't make up my mind about it!
