Louis dialed Harry's number, smiling when the curly haired boy's grinning face popped up on the screen.

"Hey Lou."

"Hey love," Louis said fondly, propping his phone up on the candle in front of him. "How's your day been?"

Harry groaned, glancing to the side down his lunch table before speaking. "Awful. Beyond terrible. Horrendous. Niall's like, my only friend, and class is so boring without him. On top of that, he's usually my lab partner, so I had to work with this guy, Jay, and he was the worst, oh my God."

Louis stifled a chuckle at the usually passive Harry's irritable voice. Harry continued on, keeping his voice hushed as he ranted.

"Lou, his breath smelled terrible, I actually thought I was going to choke. And he wouldn't listen to directions, so he nearly caught our experience on fire. I think I might've burnt my eyebrows off, actually." Louist let out a loud cackle, making a show of inspecting the screen.

"Well, you've still got your eyebrows as far as I can see, so that's an upside. Was there anything at all that went well today?"

Harry brightened, his dimples popping as he beamed. "Yeah, actually! I had art class today, and we got to work on our projects today. I got paint all over me, but it was so fun. It was actually the only part of today that hasn't sucked."

Louis smiled, resting his head on his hand as he stared at Harry fondly. Before he could say anything further, Liam burst into the room, shouting.

"LOUIS. EMERGENCY. ZAYN ASKED M— oh! Harry, hi, sorry, I'll just... I'll just uh. Be in the kitchen. Louis, if you could meet me at your earliest convenience? There's an emergency," he said awkwardly, flushing bright red as he stumbled over his words. He quickly excused himself into the other room, and Louis raised an eyebrow in amusement.

Harry immediately frowned, waving to get Louis' attention again. "Lou, I'll never forgive you if you abandon Liam to talk about school with me. I'm hanging up now, you can call me back when you've got him sorted. Bye!" He blew Louis a kiss, and Louis laughed, grinning as he pretended to catch it in the air and press it to his heart. Harry's face on the screen disappeared, leaving Louis alone smiling at the blank glass.

He spun around in his chair, peeking through the doorway to the kitchen. "Alright Li, what's up?"
