Almost [Zarry&Lilo]

Chapter Three

Scene 1: Harry and Louis arrive at school and Louis observes what the next 9 months will consist of.

LOUIS: "School... I haven't seen this in years," (reminiscing) "the last memory I have of this place was when I pushed Korra Joplin out the way so I could get out of this forsaken place."

HARRY: (sad) "Well, let me re-jog your memory," (points) "that corridor leads you to the fields for P.E and it also has the changing rooms. That is the lunch hall, when the fourth bell rings you can come here. Further down is the home rooms and over there are Science labs. Yeah.. anything else ask about it."

LOUIS: (thankful) "I know there was a reason why you're my favourite."

HARRY: "Your welcome," (points) That's your locker right there, this is mine, so go put away your books and I'll take you to your home room."

LOUIS: (admires) "Gosh, what would I do without you."

HARRY: (thoughtful) "Maybe be completely hopeless.."

LOUIS:(rolls eyes) "I was thinking, maybe manipulate people into helping me.."

HARRY: "That too."

Afton spots them, coming from her locker, and hugs Louis straight away. Harry's a bit jealous.

HARRY: (folds his arms, whispers to himself) "Well then."

AFTON: (laughing) "Don't be a sour puss, Harold." (hugs him)

HARRY: (flustered) "Don't call me that."

LOUIS: (jovial) "Harold, I like that.."

AFTON: (thinks) "I heard Zayn call him that once.. blew my mind so I said, I'll call him that too."

LOUIS: (teasing, to Harry) "Speaking of Zayn, he was with you when you came home, wasn't he?"

HARRY: (still flustered) "How do you know about him!"

AFTON: (reserved) "I blabbed my big mouth."

HARRY: (blushed) "Why were you even talking about him?"

LOUIS: (waves off the topic when Afton looks to him) "Too long of a story," (deflective) "weren't you taking me to home room?"

Harry nods and takes him to find his homeroom, which happens to be the one across from his and Afton's.

AFTON: (squeals) "That means your in my Art, Drama and P.E class!"

LOUIS: (flat) "Yay."

AFTON: (deflates) "What's the matter, Lou?"

LOUIS: (shakes his head, slurs) "Just sounds tiring s'all"

AFTON: (considerate) "Don't worry Louis, I'll help with anything you need," (thoughtful) "maybe except Math, cuz I suck at that, but, like, I'm sure Harry would help, considering he's, like, boss at it."

LOUIS: (grateful) "Thanks love, but I think I can just listen to people in exams.. might have some good stuff there."

HARRY: (bell rings) "We're going to go to home room," (looks around) "mingle.. it'll do you good."

Afton gives him a fleeting kiss on the cheek while Harry gives him a small wave, while they leave. Louis takes a deep breath and takes a seat waiting for a teacher to come or someone to come up to him.

Scene 2: After an awkward first meeting, where the home room teacher said his name wrong, Louis is off to English class.

LOUIS: (sits beside a blonde boy who has heat radiating off him)

???: (loud) "That's my sister's seat."

LOUIS: (thinks) "It's the first day of school," (sighs) "sorry, I'm new here.. I'll find another seat." (starts to get up)

???: (chuckles) "It's okay, I was joking you can sit there," (turns to Louis) "I'm Niall."

LOUIS: "Louis." (teacher walks in)

TEACHER: (monotonous) "Good morning. I am Mr. Levitz, I don't really want to talk to you about unnecessary things so please just do as I say and we'll have a good school year."

LOUIS: (thinks) "I hate school already."

MR. LEVITZ: (pulls a folder of paper out his briefcase) "Put yourself into pairs and work on these handouts," (uses his telekinesis to distribute them) "work quietly."

NIALL: (draws his table towards Louis) "Let's work together," (turns to take out his things, thinks) "I wonder what his powers are.."

LOUIS: (smirks) "I'm telepathic," (levitates his pen) "and telekinetic. You?"

NIALL: "Wolf."

After class.

NIALL: (packing up) "What do you have now?"

LOUIS: "Art."

NIALL: (scrunches up his face) "You're doing Drama too aren't you?"

LOUIS: (laughs) "Yep."

Scene 3: Louis walks out of class to see Afton.

LOUIS: (sarcastic) "Well English class, fun."

AFTON: (not catching the sarcasm) "Really? Who did you meet?"

LOUIS: (chortles) "A guy he's nice, kind of a jokester and not too hard on the eyes," (put down) "but he doesn't even look gay."

AFTON: (serious) "Boo, you don't need to be looking for any relationship now. You should just be having some good fucks here and there, no strings attached."

HARRY: (rolls his eyes, comes up behind her) "Lou isn't a whore, like you are."

AFTON: (purses her lips, folds her arms) "I was only suggesting something for his free time."

LOUIS: (draws her in for a hug) "Hun, I don't think you're a whore," (sly) "nothing's wrong with wanting cock every now and then."

AFTON: (playfully slaps his chest) "Unbelievable. Come on before I completely abandon you."

LOUIS: (they start to walk away) "You know I'd never judge you-"

AFTON:(snorts) "Stop worrying. I know you're teasing."

LOUIS: (nods) "Just wanted to make-"

AFTON: (stops, places a gentle hand on his shoulder) "You don't need to be so cautious," (gives a reassuring squeeze, holds his hand and continues to walk) "let yourself go, do what you wanna do."

LOUIS: (small) "Alright."
