FLOATING UP AND DREAMING // L.S

"I'm thinking of becoming an organ donor," Harry told Louis over lunch.

"With what? Your charred lungs and poisoned liver? Gimme a break." He scoffed and sipped his strawberry milkshake through his fucking curly straw.

"There are other organs in your body, you know."

"Do tell, Bill fucking Nye."

"He- well, there's your heart, stomach, your.. brain, your liver, bones, tongue, you know, all that shit."

Louis stared at him in the midst of chewing. "Bones and tongues aren't organs, idiot." He flicked a chip at him and slumped back into the booth.

Harry shrugged. "Everything internal is basically an organ."

"You are so full of shit, Styles." Louis smiled softly and shook his head.

Harry just grinned innocently which was when a pale-faced Florence sidled into their booth next to Harry, Niall trailing after her. and sliding in next to Louis.

"What's up?" Harry asked her hesitantly.

She turned to him and started laughing, tears streaming down her face.

"What the fuck kind of psychotic break is she having?" Louis asked Niall.

"I- well.. she got into Harvard Law, apparently." Niall grinned.

Both Harry and Louis' jaws dropped before they both started cheering loudly.

"Shut up. Shut your lying whore mouth, you got into Harvard fucking Law?" Harry turned to Florence who was still crying.

"What? Like it's hard?" She joked, sniffling wetly.

Louis jumped up onto the booth seat and spread his arms out. "Drinks on me!" He shouted.

"Lou, we're not at a bar." Harry yanked on the leg of his jeans to make him sit.

"Well shit, are you gonna go?" Louis leant forward to talk to her easier.

"Hell yeah!" She wiped her tears and fanned her face. "I would be mental not to say yes."

"Shit, did you get in anywhere good, Ni?" Louis leant in closer to him.

"I got into Berklee so Flo and I are gonna move to Boston so we can still be together," Niall explained and held Florence's hand from across the table.

"Give me a break with your lovey-dovey bullcrap." Louis shook his head.

"What about El? Did she get in anywhere?"

"How would I know?" He frowned.

"Because she's your girl?" Niall laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, yeah, right. I dunno, I'll ask her later at the thing."

Niall shot Harry a look as Louis started shovelling food into his mouth.

"Tonight, we will be opening the time capsule that was buried beneath the surface twenty years ago by our very own Mayor Carter over here!" Some random blonde lady with a southern accent announced from the front steps of the high school where basically the whole island was gathered.

Harry and Louis were sat on a park bench at the back of the crowd, ignoring the rich mums who would complain about their chain-smoking around their young children, Louis would just flip the women off and tell them to fuck off.

Harry would stand up on the bench so he could see what dumb shit was pulled out of the time capsule and then report back to Louis who would just laugh and shake his head at how dumb this whole thing was.
