HALLWAY

Liam and Niall are at Niall's locker.

LIAM:  So, then he says that he almost didn't wear the Adidas with that Jeans because he thought he was mixing, you know, genres. And the fact that I noticed -- and I'm quoting here - "really meant something."

Liam looks At Niall expectantly.

NIALL:  You told me that part already.

LIAM:  Hell, I've just been going over the whole thing in my head and -

Stan  appears over Liam's shoulder.

STAN:  Hey. Dingo Bingo

Liam and Niall look at each other and turn around slowly.

STAN:  (continuing; to Niall) I hear you're helpin' Styles.

NIALL:  Uh, yeah. We're old friend*

STAN:  You and Styles?

NIALL:  What? We took bathes together when we were kids.

It's incredibly obvious that he's lying. Stan eyes him then turns to Liam.

STAN:  What's your gig in all this?

LIAM:  I'm just the new guy.

Stan turns back to Niall, grabbing the alligator on his shirt and twisting it.

STAN:  You better not fuck this up. I'm Heavily invested.

NIALL:  Hey -- it's all for the higher good right?

Stan lets go of Niall and SHOVES Liam against a locker for good measure, as he walks away-

LIAM: Is it about me?

MISS PERKY'S OFFICE

Louis sits outside waiting for his appointment, bored and
annoyed.
The door opens and Miss Perky escorts Harry out.

MISS PERKY:  You're completely demented.

HARRY:  (cheery) See you next week!

Louis stands and Harry sees him.
Miss Perky watches in horror/

MISS PERKY:  You two know each other?

HARRY/LOUIS:  Yeah/No.

Miss Perky grabs Louis and shoves him into her office.

MISS PERKY:  (to Harry) Dear God, stay away from him. If you two ever decided to breed, evil would truly walk the earth.

Harry gives Louis one last look before the door shuts, then  smiles.

TOMLINSON/MALIK HOUSE

The lights are on, illuminating the yard.

TOMLINSON/MALIK HOUSE/UPSTAIRS HALLWAY

Zayn and James stand outside Louis' room. MUSIC is blaring and the door is shut. Zayn looks at his watch.

ZAYN:  he's obviously not going.

FROM THE KITCHEN A RUSTLING is heard. The boys  freeze.
Jay emerges from the kitchen with a mile-high sandwich
The boys are like statues. Jay jumps.

ZAYN: Mommy, I --

JAY:  And where are you going?

ZAYN:  If you must know, we were attempting to go to a small study group of friends.

JAY:  Otherwise known as an orgy?

ZAYN:  It's just a party. Mommy, but I knew you'd forbid me to go since "Gloria Steinem" over there isn't going --

he points to Lou -- Walkman blaring -- who comes  downstairs, wearing a baby tee and battered Levis. His  relaxing-at-home look is about 400 times sexier than his at- school look. He wanders toward the kitchen.

Jay directs her attention toward Lou.

JAY:  Do you know about any party? LOUIS?

Louis shrugs as he comes back out of the kitchen with an apple.

ZAYN:  Mommy, people expect me to be there!

JAY:  If Lou's not going, you're not going.

Zayn turns to lou, eyes ablaze

ZAYN: You're ruining my life' Because you won't be normal, I can't be normal.

LOUIS:  What's normal?

ZAYN:  Bogey Lowenstein's party is normal, but you're too busy listening to Bitches Who Need Prozac to know that.

JAY:  What's a Bogey Lowenstein?

Louis takes off his earphones, ready to do battle.

ZAYN:  Can't you forget for just one night that you're completely wretched?

LOUIS:  At least I'm not a clouted fen- sucked hedge-pig.

ZAYN:  Like I'm supposed to know what that even means.

LOUIS:  It's Shakespeare. Maybe you've heard of him?

ZAYN:  Yeah, he's your freak friend Louise's boyfriend. I guess since I'm not allowed to go out, I should obsess over a dead guy, too.

JAY:  Boys.

Louis stares Zayn down.

LOUIS:  I know about the goddamn party. I'm going.

Zayn and James look at each other, thrilled, and burst into gleeful screams.
A startled Jay clutches Zayn in a protective hug.

LOUIS:  Can we go now?

JAY:  (to Zayn) Promise me you won't talk to any boys unless your brother is present.

ZAYN:  Why?

JAY:  Because he'll scare them away.

Louis stomps to the door, grabbing his car keys off the hall  table and a sweater from the coat rack. he flings open the  door and...
There stands Harry.

HARRY:  Nine-thirty right?

Louis' in shock.

HARRY:  (continuing) I'm early.

Louis  holds up his keys.

LOUIS:  I'm driving.

Harry smirks and they both lead their way towards the car.
