Opposites Attract? ~ Larry Stylinson

Seven

Surprisingly the school day had gone pretty fast so far. It was now lunch time and Louis was lonely. The football team had practice this lunch so all his mates were outside playing football while he was stuck inside. God this knee injury fucking sucks he thinks to himself. What also didn't help was El was off school so he couldn't even eat lunch with her - not that he really wanted to anyway, she seemed to be a bit annoying and too horny for Louis to deal with currently.It was unusual for him to be in this position scanning around the dinner hall figuring out where to sit. Suddenly he sees a hand waving in the corner of the hall followed by a quiet shout of his name.

"Louis!"

He turns his head to see Harry and his mate Niall. He sends them a small smile with a nod before heading over.

"Hi lads, you alright?"

"Yeah oh my fucking god I can't believe your talking to me, to us your like famous" mouth hung in shock with crisps falling out.

"Calm down Niall" Louis said with a chuckle at Niall's behaviour

"Holy shit you know my name"

"Yeah course and I'm not famous"

"Feels like it"

"You alright Harry?" Louis asks to his new friend

"Yeah I'm good Louis thanks"

"So how do you even know us, Mr popular?" Niall asks

"Well one you guys are in my geography class and two Harry is tutoring me"

"Oh cool, I thought popular people didn't care about school or nerds"

"Well I didn't either but I guess I'm changing for the better now. My knee injury has made me think about a lot"

"Sweet"

"Harry mate you're awfully quiet are you sure you're ok?" Louis asks, unsure why his friends is acting a bit off

"Um yeah I'm good I'm just worried about what the popular people are gonna say when they see you sitting here with Niall and I as we're nerds. They are either gonna bully you or us but most probably us"

"Listen lad I can be friends with whoever I like and if they don't like that then that's their problem not ours"

"Friends?"

"Yeah consider me your friend if you want I know you don't have many but you have each other, me and probably Liam and Zayn too once they meet you properly"

"Did you hear that Harry, that's three popular friends that makes one, two, three, four friends Harry FOUR!" Niall said counting on his fingers and then holding the number four up like a small child

"Calm down Niall" Harry said before giggling his adorable little giggle which made a smile beam to Louis' face"

"Right lads I've gotta go apply for uni" Louis said spotting Liam and Zayn in the corner holding their envelopes up waiting for him

"Ok see you later friend" Niall said smiling as he said the word friend. It's kinda bittersweet, Louis believes, as it's so sweet he is proud to have another friend and hopefully plural later on but sad that he has not many friends.

"Bye Harry see you after school meet me by the gate yeah?"

"Sure bye Louis" he replied back and then Louis started walking back over to Liam and Zayn. They gave their application slips at the office - the school somehow had contact with a local Uni and that's where his school's students progressed to if they wanted to go to University. Then the bell went so they headed to their next lesson - music - which happened to be one of Louis' favourites because he had both Liam and Zayn in it and they were always allowed to choose their partners. They walked into the classroom and when everyone was in there the teacher started talking.

"Right class, we are going to be doing something different today so first of all I want you in twos or threes" There was a murmur of noise as people got up and changed their seating. Louis decided to work with Zayn and Liam because that's what he normally does in music and it happens to be quite successful actually.

"Also we have the other music class now merging with us to make teams of 5 and then we're going to do a singing project which is the practical part of your exam. " There was a mix of groans and exciting cheer at the news and it sounded like a good project but Louis doesn't think he knows anyone in the other class which is unusual because he knows a lot -almost all- of his year group.

There was a knock on the door and then lots of students walked in who Louis guessed were the other class. They then started to sit down at the tables with his class and he was hoping not to have anyone annoying join our group so he put his head on the table and just waited for two people to sit down to avoid his disappointment of not knowing anyone showing. Suddenly he heard two people sit down at his table.

"Are you alright Lou?"

Louis recognised that voice but couldn't quite decipher it. He slowly lifted his head off the table to be greeted with a heart-warming smile of Harry and another from Niall.

"Thank fuck for that I thought you guys were gonna be some right fucking losers" Louis basically shouted with excitement however his teacher just sent him a death stare. "Sorry Miss won't happen again" he said with an apologetic sheepish smile. The lads just laughed and Harry did his adorable little giggle that sends a wide smile to his face for some reason unbeknownst to him. This project is definitely gonna be a good one.
