Ever since Harry can remember he has been bullied by the school's football captain, William Tomlinson, because of his feminine attire. Everyday without fail Harry is being abused either physically or mentally by Will and the team. It's exhausting.

"Morning, Haz!" Niall greets as Harry walks up to him by his locker.
"Morning, Ni!" Harry smiles back with bright smile.
Today Harry is wearing a tight, short skirt and a white turtle neck that Gemma had lent him when she saw the reasonably big sized bruise on his neck last night after Louis dropped him home. At the time Harry was confused at why Gemma was making such a big deal about it—she has them all the time, but either way Gemma told Harry that he needed to wear the turtle neck until it goes away.

She didn't say anything after that but gave Harry a hug and mumbled something along the lines of 'my baby brother's growing up' before leaving him alone. Overall, the whole interaction confused Harry a lot.
"How are you?" Niall asks interrupting Harry from his thoughts.
"Yeah I'm alright." Harry mumbles with a small smile.
"Hey guys!" Liam suddenly shouts from across the lockers.
"Hey Li!" Niall shouts back while waving him towards the pair.
Once Liam made his way over to him, Harry mumbles a small 'hi' before just listening quietly to his and Niall's conversation. Harry prefers it like this: he can be involved without actually having any attention on him so he can just relax while watching his friends interact with each other.
"Have you guys heard about the party tonight for the kick off of the football season?" Liam suddenly asks while making eye contact with Harry.
Harry thinks for a second before remembering that Louis mentioned something about a party at Will's house yesterday.
"Oh yeah I have actually. Strangely enough, Brad came up to me and asked if me and Harry are going which is odd seeing as it's at Will's house." Niall shrugs,
Hm. Very odd.
"Oh, really? Well I was going to ask you two if you wanted to come, of course I know that Niall will go but what about you Harry? It will be fun, I promise." Liam pleads making Harry's cheeks heat up.
" 'M not sure guys...after all it is at Will's house." Harry mumbles.
He secretly would love to go, he's never been to a party before and from the way everyone is taking about it, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
"Will won't even notice you're there! I promise! He'll be too busy pining after some girl just so he can fuck her and forget she exists the next morning." Liam persuades while Niall nods in agreement.
"And even if he does notice you, you have us! We won't let him do anything to you." Niall smiles.
"Yeah and you'll have Louis." Liam blurts out making Harry choke on his own saliva.
"Who's Louis?" Niall asks.
"Will's older brother." Liam responds while Harry seems to catch his breath back.
