Louis woke up to a loud thud on the door.

'Louis if you don't wake up we're gonna be late, AND IT'S THE FIRST DAY BACK SO MOVE YOUR ASS, NOW!' Lottie screamed.

He had such a weird dream last night, something about a butterfly getting lost in the sea, it just made no sense. He slowly sat in the bed, noticing he didn't even put his pyjamas on, the shorts he was wearing yesterday carefully folded on top of the chair. He looked at the alarm clock, shit he had to hurry, grabbed a towel and clean clothes and run to the shower. He tried to make his hair look somewhat decent and put on the school uniform. It consisted of a white short sleeve shirt, navy pants that were starting to get a little too tight, he'd have to upgrade, black vans, he refused to wear anything else and the tie which he struggled to put correctly. He decided it was still too hot for the blazer and grabbed the gray fine jumper instead.

In the kitchen Lottie was already finished with the breakfast, the smell of fresh coffee flairing up his nostrils.

'Ah, thanks Lotts, just what I needed'

'Yeah, yeah, I know. Now can you go wake the twins up and check that Fizzie is already awake too, please?'

Louis finished chugging down the giant coffe cup and helped Lottie set the table with three bowls of cereal, milk, coffe and a plate of butter toasts.

'On it sis.' He said grabbing a toast for the way.

The school mornings were always a tad crazy. Their mom started early shifts at the hospital and their dad was just gone most of the days going all over with the truck. So Lottie and him, as they were the oldest siblings, where in charge of the younger ones and dropping them off at school. He knocked first in Lottie and Fizzie's room.

'Hey sweetie, you ready? Breakfast in the kitchen!'

'Almost! Can't decide between the skirt or the pants to wear today, ugh.'

'However you're gonna feel more comfortable, you look good in both. First day of first year of highschool! It's gonna go great, you'll see!'

'Bloody uniforms, I swear... and it's easy for you to say, you're on your last year! And Lottie just one year behind...'

'It's hard for us too, I swear. And you know what? I had no big brother or sister to turn up to when I started! But you have, you'll always have us.'

'Thank you Louis, I love you. By the way! I love how your nails turned out!'

Louis got out of Fizzie's embrace to look at his nails, oh shit, he had forgotten! Harry painted them yesterday... and then he was so sleepy, and two strong yet soft hands carried him to his bed, took his jeans out, tucked him in and h
gave him a forehead kiss, oh god. He blushed furiously.

'You know, I like Harry, he can come whenever...' Fizzie said noticing Louis state, smiling.

'Yeah, I like him too, I mean, he's cool, um, I guess, kitcken! Breakfast!'

He couldn't understand what happened to him whenever he was with Harry, like his body just took over him... he sighs loudly and goes to the twins room, shaking all Harry related thoughts out of his mind.

'Good morning princesses...' he said gently, shaking them a bit, the eight year olds barely aknowledging him.

'I know I know... but first day of school! You have to get up, c'mon Phoebe, Daisy...please? Do I have to get the tickle monster out? Because I will!'

The girls opened their eyes immediately and started to get out of bed lazily, not wanting to get bullied out of it with tickles.

'Ha, now we're talking! Get dressed and kitchen for breakfast, fast please!' He prepared their tiny uniforms, leaving them carefully on their beds, and checked that they had everything on their backpacks.

It seemed like a miracle, but they were righ on track, the five of them walking to class on time. They dropped the twins first at school, and then Fizzie, Lottie and him started heading to the highschool building that was not far away when they heard someone calling for them.

'Lottie, Fizzie, Louis!'

A boy was just behind them, curls running wild, grey jumper with the school coat of arms on the left, white collar shirt showing, a pleated light blue and navy skirt, black socks that were up almost at his knees and black converse. The green eyes and dimples that followed let Louis speechless.

'Oh. My. God. HARRY! I LOVE IT!' Lottie screamed.

'Half the school is gonna flip their shit over. Why does this skirt looks better on you than me? That's not fair.' Fizzie added.

'What? Boys don't wear skirts around here?'

'They will now, if they get this reactions from the girls.' Louis giggled.

'Just the girls?' Harry said with a smirk.

'You have pretty legs, maybe a teacher will lose it too.' Louis looked away blushing. 

Before they realised it, they were in front of the highschool, not that big, classic british school, old beautiful building and lots of green.

Two girls came over, giggling to themselves, eyeing Harry and grabbing Fizzie.

'Bye sweetie! Have a good day!'

'Later Lottie, Lou... and Harry! Love ya.'

The bell rang loudly, and Lottie grabbed Harry.

'Come on, I bet you're in our class. I'll introduce you to everyone, they're gonna love you.'

'Alright... see you later... Lou.' Harry said, smiling.

Louis' stomach did a sommersault, just because of the nickname. He sighed, he was so screwed. He was distracted looking at Harry's thighs going away when he was suddenly tackled.

'TOMMO WE MISSED YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE.'

Zayn and Liam were making a hug sandwich out of him, tears almost left his eyes, he had missed them so much over the summer.

'I MISSED YOU TOO, YOU LITTLE SHITS!'

'Aaww, look at him get emotional...' Zayn said mocking him.

'Oh, shut up, I bet you didn't really miss me since I'm sure you spent all summer riding Liam when you weren't riding the horses at his farm.'

'I could lie... but you wouldn't belie...'
Liam quickly covered Zayn's mouth, completely embarrassed.

'Oh god guys...'

The three of them entered the building, laughing their asses off and trying to catch up as quick as they could before starting the lessons.
