harry

by the end of the day my head is pounding and I just want to sleep. its like someone is taking my binder and hitting my face, making my eyes and nose sore. maybe its because I had to put up with everyone's crap today. sure, after the people had seen louis with me it wasn't so bad. but the utterly stupid ones repeated,
"Too nerdy for him were you? That's why he walked away."
apparently the girl is his girlfriend. and I could see the reason clearly. She was beautiful, maybe sweet. when she had dragged him away I saw her whispering. honestly, I don't care. I have to tell myself I don't care because I don't. so what. Louis has a girlfriend, that's wonderful. I'm happy for him.

I hadn't driven myself to school, so I have to walk to louis' house. pulling it up on google maps I saw that it wasn't far and I could easily walk.

it took 15 to 20 minutes at the most, and when I reach my destination I couldn't have been more stunned.
louis' house wasn't a big mansion with dozens of rooms and fountains. something in my mind told me that it would be that way, and my mind was wrong.

his house was a medium sized cream house with dark, dark brown detail. the shutters were a dark brown along with the railing on the balcony. along the balcony red and pink flowers hung, making the scene even more beautiful. the grass around the house was a bright healthy green, and there were even some small shrubs along the front of the house. it was two stories clearly and had a stone path coming out of the side. I guess that's where the door is, well the back door.
usually I don't use back doors until I'm completely comfortable with the person so I'll just have to use the glass front door.

I walk up the path, coming onto the porch. two read chairs were sitting next to the door, an ashtray on the ground beside one.

I knock beside the door, not knocking on the glass because I didn't want to make any smudges.
I look around with my hands folded behind my back. I didn't want to look straight ahead since I would be looking right into the house. That would just be creepy.
I heard the door open, drawing my attention to it. I smile and step forward towards the lady. she looked exactly like louis almost, her blue eyes popping and her dark hair complementing her beauty. My smile grows and I offer a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm harry. Louis invited me. You must be his sister?" I pull away after the shook it, still not breaking eye contact.
She laughs and widens the door opening, stepping to the side.

"Oh no dear, I'm his mum. Just call me Jay." I nod, grinning.

As soon as I step in I'm almost taken aback. The air is cool and it smells of flowers. I feel oddly at home, welcomed.
The front door didn't lead straight into the living room, but the room had a coat rack and a small ceiling light. I follow her into the living room, being surprised again by how spacey it was. I notice a blonde headed girl on the couch but she isn't paying any attention to me. Louis must have people over all the time.

"He's just up the stairs. You'll find him right away. The upstairs isn't big. only a bathroom, guest room, and his room. It was nice meeting you Harry." I thank her and make my way up the stairs. Once I get up there it's actually quite spacious. Not small at all. I walk slowly, on my right the first thing is a guest room and then the bathroom across on the left. Louis' room was farthest away.

I hear music seeping through the dark wooden door. I don't recognize it at first, and I was positive if i knocked he wouldn't hear.

I open it slowly and quietly, not walking over to the foolish boy. The song "We Got The Beat" by The Go-Go's is on full blast, and he's singing just as loud. I can tell it's been on repeat, since it started again and he seems to know the lyrics by heart.

"See the people walking down the street!
Fall in line just watching all their feet!
They don't know where they want to go
But they're walking in time.."

And as soon as the chorus starts he busts out in dance, shaking his bum and flapping his arms. I hold my hand tightly over my mouth so I won't laugh. He still hasn't noticed me, and he continues to belt out lyrics while he dances.

The chorus ends, but the lyrics continue. His dance moves calm down and he sings even louder.

"All the kids just getting out of school!
They can't wait to hang out and be cool!
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve,
That's when they fall in line.."

Yet again he starts to dance and I can't hold it in. I laugh loudly, doubling over and squeezing my eyes shut. I can almost feel the tears coming and I try to breathe.
When I look up I see him. He looks mortified and flustered. His cheeks are as red as I've ever seen them, his mouth forming an 'O'.
The music hasn't stopped and I stand up. I calm down and walk towards his bed, plopping down.

"Thanks for the entertainment."
I smirk and look at him expectantly. He scrambles to turn the music off, straightening out his shirt and fixing his hair. The blush still hasn't faded.

"H-how much.. What did you see?" He mumbles, looking down.

I just suppress another laugh and I clear my throat.
"All of it." I reply calmly, still staring right at him.

He groans and covers his face. I stay silent until I see him peeking through his fingers.
It isn't until a couple or minutes later he speaks.

"Okay well. That was embarrassing. On another hand, let's hang out. Video games?" He speaks quickly, trying to change the subject as fast as he could. I nod and get up.

"Sounds good, Go-Go."
