"I swear Love Story is the perfect audition song for us," Rory told Harmony, who kept on tapping on her iPad. She Googled Love Story and read the lyrics.
"I know lyric-wise, it's perfect," Harmony said, "but I don't know how to sing it." "You don't know Taylor Swift?" Rory asked in disbelief. "She's like, the country star of our generation." "I know her!" Harmony replied defensively. "But not much. The only song I heard from her was that song called Today was a Fairytale." "Did you like it?" Rory asked hopefully. No one really knew, but he was a big fan of hers. And he also wanted Harmony to like Taylor Swift – he had hoped for a sign that they were meant to be earlier, and this could be one. "I sure did," Harmony said, biting her lips. "But aside from that, I don't know anything else."
"Well, that's nothing Teacher Rory can't fix," Rory smiled. "Here's a fact – I love…"
"Hold that thought!" Harmony shouted. "You can't! Rory, it's too soon!"
"I thought America was a free country," he thought out loud and lifted one of his eyebrows. "I was going to say I love Taylor Swift and know her songs. I can teach you."
Well, this is awkward, thought Harmony. "Oh, if that's the case, see you after class!"
Rory paused. "Wait, you're going?" "Of course I am," she replied. "I mean, what do you want me to do – stay here and talk to you about how I love you?"
He grinned. He was really happy. As in really, really happy. Harmony hadn't realized what she said until she saw how ecstatic he looked. "I was joking," she explained. "Seriously, I was. Don't get any wrong ideas, okay?" "I sure hope you were," he said sarcastically. He almost didn't care, knowing how she really felt inside. And how long did they know each other? Barely one day.
Rory held her hand. Harmony looked at him. "Practice," he explained. "If we get the parts… well, it is Romeo and Juliet." She smiled uncomfortably. "Yeah, of course. I knew that."
She pretended to look at her dark violet watch and said, "Oops, it's already Chemistry class! We just lost 20 minutes of it. It's the first time I'm late! I would really hate it I was late." "I'm coming," he said. "I would really hate to miss Chem class too. Especially since it would be the way for me to stay until senior year. My mother really hates it if I fail any class, and I flunk Chemistry, I'm going back to Ireland." Harmony smiled. "Okay."
