As usual, that morning Louis comes by Harry's House to collect him and drive him to school. Once Harry gets in the car Louis turns up the music and their Carpool-karaoke beginns. "So, how's it going with Ele@nOr?", Harry asks Louis. "Uhm, I'm kinda thinking of breaking up with her..." "Again?", Harry jokes. For two years now Louis and her have been on and off again. "Yeah, but for good now, I think!" "Really? Why? The two of you seem so happy?" "It's just... she changed. Like, she's all makeup and shopping now. She never wants to do anything else. For example, last night I asked if she wanted to come over and she replied 'sorry, just took off my makeup and it would take way too long to put it back on again'." "That doesn't make any sense! You've known and seen her without makeup..." "That's what I said, but no, no, no, how dare I see her without makeup!", Louis replys roling his eyes.
"That's so stupid!" "I know! I told her that, too, but she refused to see me without her makeup on!" "You always seemed so in love?" "I guess that's not true anymore!" The rest of the car ride to school is spent in an anoying silence but none of them know what to say. Louis can't just say "Well, actually, I don't even care, because I anyway wanted to break up with her because I like somebody else..." because then he'd feel forced to tell Harry who it is, and well... it's Harry. Harry on the otherhand can't say "Are you thinking of breaking up with her then? She's just acting stupid now!" hoping he'll agree.
When they arrive in the parkinglot of the school Ele@nOris waiting for them at her car. "Is that her car? I didn't know she had her drivers licence!" "She didn't! I thought her how to drive!" "Oh, ok, so you'll teach her but not me?", Harry asks crossing his arms infront of his chest like a five year old. "Well, Ele@nOr is my girlfriend..." "So you're saying I have to be your girlfriend and then you'll teach me how to drive?" "That's exactly what I'm saying!", Louis laughs and Harry joins in. They reach Ele@nOr and she imediately asks "What are you guys laughing about?" "Oh, nothing!" "Ok! So, baby, how are you?", she asks Louis totally ignoring Harry. "Fine! How are you?" "I'm great, baby!", she answers and throws herself into Louis' arms and giving him a kiss.
Harry feels totally out of place and like a third wheel. "Uhm, bye! See you in class!", he says before leaving them. Louis and Ele@nOr don't even notice Harry leaving and wonder where he went once the bell rings. "Where did he go?" "Who?" "Harry! Who else would I mean?" "I don't know!" "He was just standing here..." "He was?" "Is she serious? How did she not notice him? Is she so blind? Or egoistic?", Louis thinks but doesn't say anything to her. The two of them walk to class and arrive just before the teacher comes in.
During school Ele@nOr keeps looking at Louis and whispering something to her friends. Harry and Louis on the otherhand don't speak to much and stay to themselves. Now that Harry knows about the "makeup and shopping addiction" that Ele@nOr has he notices it, too. Everything he overhears is "I went shopping..." "Let's go shopping..." or "Oh my god, and she wasn't wearing any makeup..." Worst of all was when he overheard her talking to her friends about Louis. "So, last night he asked if we could meet up, but I had just taken off my makeup, so I said no. But he didn't understand, he was like 'I've seen you without makeup before' but he's just stupid if he doesn't understand!", she tells her friends and they all start laughing. "All boys are stupid, they just don't get it!", one of her friends adds.
Louis doesn't hear any of that but on their way home, when Harry and Louis are sitting in Louis car again, Harry tells him. "She said what?" "I know, that's not alright! Especially if she is your girlfriend!" Louis stays quiet but decides to tell Harry. "Uhm, well, actually... I'm kinda thinking of breaking up with her..." "Really? Does she know?" "No, no, she doesn't! And also thanks for this morning..." "What do you mean?" "Thanks for just leaving me there with her and not pulling me away with some excuse!" "I didn't know I was supposed to..." "I know... but still, would have been nice... she just doesn't understand that I'm not the type of guy who makes out with his girlfriend in public..."
"Not even if I were your girlfriend?", Harry says laughing. "Well that's something else, if you were girl... wait you'd be my boyfriend then I'd never let you go!", Louis says joining in with the laughter. "I'll promise I won't only talk about shopping and you will be allowed to see me without makeup!" "Oh, how nice of you!" "I know, I'm the best!", Harry replys flicking his hair back. The two of them can't stop laughing. They get out of the car and walk towards Harry's front door and then into Harry's room.
Once they are in Harry's bedroom Harry turns around and bumps into Louis who was standing right behind him. That makes the two of them come way closer than they ever have and nearly make their lips touch. "Oh god, sorry!", Harry says taking a step back. Louis takes a step forward again. "No problem!" The two of them stare eachother in the eyes. They stay frozen like that for a few seconds and then Harry asks "Do you want anything to drink? Or a snack or something?" "No, I'm fine!"
After some more silence Louis confesses "Well, actually... no forget it..." "Come on! You can tell me! Whatever you want or need I'll get it for you...", Harry reassures him. "Uhm,... how should I say this... uhm, I'm kinda thinking of breaking up with Ele@nOr... and uhm... I kinda have feelings for someone else...", Louis continues looking at his feet. Harry looks at him the silence creating suspence. "So are you gonna tell me? Do I know the girl?", Harry wants to know. "Yes, you know the person... you know them pretty good... I'd say better than anybody else knows them..." Louis looks up at Harry and it doesn't take long for Harry to understand what he means.
"Really? Me?" "Yeah, I don't know... well, I mean yeah I like you. Like you alot. But I don't know if I'm... you know... gay or bi. It's alright if you don't..." Harry puts his hand infront of Louis mouth to shut him up. When he takes it away he leans in closer and kisses him. First Louis is in shock but then he kisses him back. "I kinda feel the same but didn't know how to tell you!", Harry admits. "How long?" "A while now, don't exactly know how long... you?" "I also don't really know." They kiss again.
