Louis&Lexie

Whispers followed Louis down the hall, the stairs, like the incoming surf as you walk back up the beach to the dry sand. Heads were turning, jaws dropping, and a couple of laughs were heard but who gives a flying fuck really. There were more shouts of approval overall mainly about him being a hot bitch or 'fuck yeah Louis!'

There was one thing he hadn't thought of: the approval of more than a few guys who looked like they played for his team too. They all gave him a good once over, before winking or saying hi. Louis kept the smirk plastered on his face but ignored them. If it weren't for Mr. Styles, he would have given someone a chance, but he had no intention of doing that when there was a tall, dark and handsome man who kept him satisfied and smiling thank you very much.

"Hey baby, what are you doing tonight?" He heard a junior call after him.

"Too late to the party, sorry!" He shouted over the voices, hearing his name in hushed tones constantly.

"Is that Louis Tomlinson? Isn't he like, a starter on varsity?"

And okay that one pissed Louis the fuck off. He hated ignorance. "Gay boys play sports too!" He called out airily, giving her a 'dark Louis' stare, and her face turned red. Yep, he had certainly added fuel to the rumor fire now.

When Liam and Lexie noticed him they stopped talking and Liam started a slow clap. Louis stopped a few feet away and did a twirl.

"Hey! Is that my beanie? You bitch."

"That's the first thing on your mind?" Louis raised an eyebrow. He put his hand on his little hip and posed like a model, even if he was too small to be one. The twink was five feet and six inches tall. But as far as everyone else was concerned, he was in fact five feet and nine inches tall and probably still growing. Probably.

"Well I've been burning incense and praying for this day to come soon. My prayers have been answered." She kept a straight face for a moment, then they all burst into laughter. It was one of the things she wished for on 11:11 at night. She also wished for Mr. Horan to pull her into the girl's locker room for some physical education. One down, one to go.

"How many hearts did you break so far today?"

Louis actually counted. "Hm, well one guy hit on me and I turned him down, about three more checked me out and could have caught flies, and too many girls pouted to remember."

She leaned in, whispering at an unnecessarily quiet volume, "Does he know?"

"Yeah, told him yesterday and these are some sweatpant leggings or whatever they're called that he bought me." He raised his tiny, white canvas clad foot in the air to show them the matching, small 'PINK' logo running down the bottom half of his leggings to the cuff.

His friends nodded in approval. Liam spoke up. "He buys you stuff? Damn. You've got him wrapped around your little finger."

Louis shrugged. "I don't know about that, probably more like he appreciates the view."

Lexie's gaze focused behind him. "He's a sugar daddy. Ugh, here comes that basic Ashley, I swear-"

She was cut off by Louis shouting, "What the FUCK!" as Ashley came right up behind him and pinched his ass.

He spun around and stared at her in disbelief. "Have you lost your fucking mind?!" She bit her lip, checking him out.

"No but I would blow yours if you reconsider the decision looks like you're making." She placed her hand on his chest.
