hey... i like you... [L.S] ✓

02

It was the end of the first day of high school. Harry just lays in his bed and stares at the ceiling. He thinks about Louis's accent, his blue eyes, his smile, the way his hair is off to the side perfectly, and everything.

"I like him wayyy too much." Harry lets out covering his smile that was plastered onto his face.

NEW MESSAGE FROM LOU

Harry smiles as he unlocks his phone with his password.

"12-24"

LOU: Hey Harold, want to go get ice cream?

HARRY: Sure! I'll go ask my mum!

LOU: Okay :)

Harry rushes down stairs in a heart beat almost slipping on the carpet in the living room.

"Woah, what's the rush honey?" Anne pauses her show and looks at his son with a sweet smile.

"Can I go get ice cream down the street with Lou?" Harry asks brushing hair curls away from his face.

"Sure honey. Here's £10," Anne hands to Harry. "Thanks mum!" Harry walks out the door to meet Lou walking right out his house.

Harry catches his breath. He doesn't really know why he rushed, him and Louis are neighbors.

"Let's go," Louis smiles as he walks next to the tall boy.

-

"Can I get cookie dough and mint chocolate chip ice cream, please?" Louis asks.

"Sure. That will be £4!" The girl working there says with a wink. Louis smiles and hands her £5, "Keep the change, babe."

Harry watches in confusion. His heart breaks a little as he watches the girl and Louis flirt. Questions circle through Harry's mind as he's behind Louis.

"Harry?" Louis asks nudging the boy with his elbow.

"Huh?" Harry snaps out of it. Louis hands the mint chocolate cone to Harry. "Thanks" Harry manages to mumble.

Harry and Louis walk around the neighborhood as the sun is still out.

After a random conversation they were having. Harry asks, "how do you know her?" Louis bites off a piece of the cone and looks at Harry questionably.

"Who?" Louis asks in confusion. "Don't act dumb," Harry looks Louis in the eyes, "The girl at the ice cream place."

Louis's mouth makes an 'O' shape. Then, Louis begins to speak, "That's just a friend from my math class..." Louis fixes his posture and his hair talking about her. Harry just stays quiet as they walk back to Louis's house.

-

They sit on Louis's roof as they watch the sunset. Harry's heart starts beating because Louis and him are so close. Harry can hear Louis's breathing.

"Umm.. Lou?" Harry stutters.

Louis answers with a hum.

Harry clears his voice, which makes Louis's head turn facing him.

"What's the matter, Harold? Your cheeks are pink." Louis asks as he pokes Harry's dimple. Harry puts out a shy smile.

Harry looks down at his lap.

"Hey... I like you."

Louis looks at him.

"Um... I don't. Sorry."
