Thank you sooooo much for the positive feedback on the first chapter. I hope you will like this book. I 'm very excited about it anyway.
Keep commenting, it makes me smile :)
"Hey dude, I swear he is the hottest guy on campus. Just look at him." Josh drools over the boy that is sitting a few meters away from them.
Josh is Harry's best friend. They met in a gay bar, Josh trying to hook up with Harry. Harry did take home Josh with him, only for them to play frustration in the end. A month later, Josh seemed to be in Harry's photography class, which appeared to not be awkward at all. The contrary actually. The two boys became best friends ever since. Josh has never tried to seduce Harry again, always joking that he doesn't want to play stupid boardgames anymore. Louis does like to play stupid boardgames.
Harry tried to hook up with random guys, he was on grinder, but every single time when he thinks that yes, this is someone he can move on with, a pair of blue eyes are engraved on the retina.
Harry follows Josh's gaze, only to meet with indeed the most beautiful creature that walks on this earth. Louis Tomlinson.
"He's not bad looking." Harry tries to play it cool. That does sound a little less hopeless than he is so fucking perfect, still.
"Just check that ass, the things I'd do with..."
"Don't finish that sentence." Harry snaps, immediately feeling protective over his ex-boyfriend. "Don't objectify and sexualise him like that. He is human and I won't let you talk like that about him."
"Wow, relax Harry. What's the big deal man? We always check out guys together, never got that reaction." Josh raises his eyebrows and takes a sip from his coke.
"It's nothing. Just, not today okay Josh? Now finish your stupid coke, we have to go to class."
Josh sighs and throws his empty cup in the bin.
"Well, let's go then princess."

They can't be serious. This can't be happening. Harry must be living in a nightmare. He can't stop staring at the paper, seeing his name written down next to the one of... Louis Tomlinson.
"Sir, can I talk to you?" Harry walks over to his teacher when all his classmates have left the room. Josh is waiting outside for him.
"What can I do for you, mister Styles?"
"It's about the project. I was thinking... Is there the possibility to swap partners?" Harry is nervous and looks at his shoes. He doesn't want to work together with Louis, it will break his heart all over again. It's still not healed. Harry can't do this. For sure not knowing that Louis has a girlfriend now. Every single time when Harry sees Louis somewhere, he is with her and only her. He is not stupid. It's exact the same way as he acted with Eleanor.
"Do you want to be a professional, Harry? Do you want to be someone in life?" The professor looks up at the curly lad.
"Yes of course I want to, Sir but..."
"Then I advise that you contact mister...." The man looks at the copy of the list that is laying on his desk "Tomlinson and start to work. Filming, editing 5 clips and creating the album cover takes a lot of time."
"But Sir, is there really no option to change partners? I'm more than willing to start already today but I really don't think I can work together with him..." knowing that only two and a half years ago both boys were inseparable, breaks Harry's heart even more. He can't even make himself work on a bloody project with the boy.
"Do you think when you get a project like this in the real world you just 'get to swap partners', Harry? No. If you don't like someone then you just suck it up and put on a fake smile. Welcome in the world, boy. Not everything is always easy. If you want to get your diploma I suggest that you just walk out of the door now and start discussing with mister Tomlinson. I don't have time for this, Harry. This is not primary school where you cry because you are not on the same team during gym with your bff. Now please go, the next class will be here in ten minutes."
Harry sighs, dropping his head. So there is really no way out...

After school Louis immediately goes over to Zayn's and Perrie's apartment. It's only a few blocks away from his own. He needs to talk to them, Louis is freaking out.
"Hey, what's up Lou?" Perrie opens the door with a smile.
"Please take a gun and shoot it. Blow my brains out. Do something." Louis' hands are tangled in his hair and he is pacing around the apartment.
"Dude, chill, sit down, and please tell us why you are in this mood. Should I make you a cup of tea?" Zayn asks.
"A beer, please, Zayn." Louis sighs.
"I'm still not giving you alcohol when you are upset, Louis. So you have the choice, tea, water or coke?"
"Tea is fine." He groans, making himself fall on the big, leather couch.
When Zayn comes back with a cup of tea for his best friend and his girlfriend, he sits down next to her on the couch in front of Louis.
"So, please tell us what's making you so upset that we have to blow your brains out."
"I have to work together with Harry for my end of year project." Louis decides to just tell it, not go around, just get it off his chest.
"You what?" Zayn's mouth goes wide open.
"You heard me, I'm not repeating it."
"Have you tried to switch partners?" Perrie asks.
"Obviously. But the teacher just ranted about being professional and not everybody you work with you will like so it didn't work." Louis' eyes are tearing. He is so stressed about this, he really doesn't want to face Harry. He broke his heart.
"I'm so sorry, Lou. I have no idea what to say." Perrie puts a hand on Louis' knee to comfort him.
"I know exactly what to say. You have to talk to that curly asshole. Make him spill the fucking tea. Let him explain to you in your face why he never called." Zayn snaps, fire in his eyes. He will never forget Louis' disappointed face every time he looked at his phone, hoping that Harry would have at least messaged him.
"I'm sorry, babe but I don't think it's up to us to judge Harry. I mean, of course we support you Lou but we don't know what happened. In the end Lou came back and we don't know why. Harry might have his reasons for not calling him, that doesn't mean that I agree with him, and I still want to punch him for hurting our Lou, but Zayn we don't know what happened. We don't even really know any side of this story. The only thing that is sure is that Louis left and Harry never called. We don't know anything more. Don't judge Harry like that, my love. He has always been good to Louis and up to this day I still find it really strange that he didn't call you. He loved Louis."
"Apparently not enough..." Louis whispers, hugging his knees. He is fighting the tears that are welling up.
"So when do you start working on this project, mate?" Zayn asks.
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm seeing Harry."
