The bell rang indicating the finish of Harry's first period anthropology class. He packed up his books and stuffed them into his old-fashioned brown leather book bag and hurried out of the class, gluing his eyes to the ground as he shuffled through the stampede of kids on route to his second period parenting class. 

Farther down the hallway, Harry heard them before he saw them. It was Niall, along with Louis and some of his other friends roaming the halls, laughing and talking very loudly as they made their way down. He lifted his eyes at them and saw Niall chatting animatedly with Louis with no books present in neither of their hands, while a boy he recognized from his U Math class and another boy he didn't know trotted along with them. 

As he approached them, it was when Niall gave him an appreciative glance that Harry realized he had been gawking at him, and out of embarrassment he looked away quickly before his face and neck could redden. It was no use. Niall had already seen his blush. 

The dinner last night was eventful. Harry, Zayn and Niall had managed to get the bourbon chicken and oven roasted Greek potatoes to come out right, and Harry had learned that Niall had a long history with  cooking and fending for himself. The dinner itself was successful, Niall didn't embarrass himself -much- and Gemma, Anne and Des seemed to like him. Though, Niall appeared to be a bit nervous, stumbling over his words and blushing a whole lot, but Anne created the impression of favouring him; asking him questions about himself and the baby project and also making sure he was satisfied and felt at ease. 

"That Niall is very cute, honey" she had said to Harry after Niall had helped them clean up and left. "Yeah he is" Harry replied, flopping on the couch "he can be an ass though" he silently added afterwards. 

Anne sat on the couch arm and grinned at him "You like him don't you Harry. I saw that glint in your eyes. You were fooling nobody." 

"Mom. . ." Harry said carefully. Harry loved him mom and how open minded she was, but how would he break to her that Niall was. . . well the way he was? "Mom lets not. . . there's another lad" he gave her a knowing look.

Anne eyed him up and down, then got up "Hmm" she had said as she walked away. 

All of a sudden, someone tugged on his book bag and Harry swiveled around and gasped in surprise as he found Liam beaming at him. 

"Liam!" he almost squealed, surprised at himself for being so happy to see him. In response Liam pulled him aside and gave him one of those one-armed hugs and Harry caught a whiff of his cologne. Wow. He smelt really good. 

"You wouldn't believe Harry" Liam said as he released him "I actually thought that I would never see you again. It's so crazy around here." 

"Well. . . it is high school you know" Harry shot him a grin. 

Liam adjusted the strap of the adidas duffel bag he carried on his shoulder "It's a bit different for me. I've been home-schooled my whole life until now" 

"Really? That's cool" 

"Cool" Liam snickered and Harry jumped to his own defense "Well what do you expect me to say? 'that sucks?'"

"I actually would have preferred that it seems more accurate" Liam rolled his eyes in mock seriousness. 

Harry laughed, then glanced at his watch. It was about a minute to 10 am, which meant that his class with Niall would be starting soon. "Liam, I gotta run" he said "I'll see you later. . . I hope" he quickly added when he say the crestfallen look on Liam's face.
