I'm Harry, I'm 17 and go to London College. I'm sat on the grass studying for a psychology assignment I have.

I feel something bump against my leg. I look up from my notes to see a football.

"Hey Curly! Pass the ball?" Someone asks. I look up to see Louis Tomlinson.
I smile and pick up the ball. I throw it at him and he catches it.
"Thanks." He smiles and runs off.

I feel a hand on my shoulder after I look down at my notes again.
"Alright Styles?" Liam asks sitting next to me.
Liam's my best friend. He knows everything about me. I know everything about him. It works both ways.

"Alright Payno?" I smirk.

"Studying still?"

"Of course. I'm going to fail."

"No you're not. Goodness me man, you study every day. Loosen up a bit."

"Haha loosen up? Come on. You know that I study to get away from it all.."

"I know. Anything happen today?"

"No. Just shouting."

"Sorry man. You know you can come stay at mine right?"

"Yeh I know. Thanks Li."

"Any time. Wanna go for a walk?" Liam asks standing up.

"Sure." I pack my psychology books and notes up and put them in my rucksack. I stand up and sling it over my shoulder. I walk with Liam down the side of the football pitch. I get hit in the head and stumble into Liam.

It doesn't hurt so it's fine.
"Shit. Are you okay Curly? I'm so sorry." A familiar voice says. I look up from the ball that hit me to a pair of icy blue eyes.

"Oh, yeh I'm fine haha don't worry bout it." I smile.

"That's twice I've hit you with the ball today. I'm so sorry." He says.

"It's okay honestly." I smile.

"Are you sure?" Louis asks looking concerned.

"Yeh haha."

"Oh my god did I do that?" He presses on the small bruise on my forehead.

"No. God no. A football wouldn't have bruised me haha."

"What happened?" Louis asks.

"A cricket ball would though." Liam pipes up.

"Shit you got hit with a cricket ball?"

"Uh yeh. It's okay haha it was a few days ago."

"Okay, so you're sure I didn't hurt you?"

"100%." I say with a smile.

"As long as you're 100% sure then that's okay."

"I am, honestly, go get back to your game." I say, he chuckles and nods picking up the ball.

"See you around Curly!" He calls as he runs off.

"He hit you with it twice?"

"Hit, is an overstatement. It rolled into my leg when I was at the tree."

"Oh."

"Thanks..by the way..for coming up with a story.." I say.

"It's okay. Sorry he saw the bruise.."

"It's the only one that anyone can see so it's okay haha."

"Alright. Come on." He smiles.

LOUIS' POV
I run across the pitch back to the lads.
"Who is that?" I ask Zayn.
