Louis' POV

Today was the day their school competed against Lincoln High School, their biggest rivals in a football match. Louis and his team had been training for this game for months. They always lost against their team, but not today. Today, they were prepared. Louis took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves as he got out of the car with his sisters, Lottie and Fizzy, and best mate who he'd been crushing on for months now, Harry. His mum, Dan and the two pairs of twins got out of Dan's car.

He walked with them to their seats in the second row of the bleachers. All of his siblings, mum, Dan and Harry were dressed in red, the color of his teams jersey.  Louis' mum hugged him first "You're going to do great, and remember, it's okay if you didn't win as long as you've given it your all" She said, kissing the top of his head. "Yeah, thanks mum" He smiled "You'd better win. Loulou!" Phoebe and Daisy told him. Louis got down and kissed each of their cheeks "I'll try" He chuckled. "If you win, dinner's on me" Lottie said "I should still get dinner for trying" Louis argues "No, you've got to win" "No fair!" Louis pouted. "I bet Annie five pounds that you'll win, so you'd better" Fizzy said "Fizzy! You bet money on me?" Louis asked, shocked at the audacity of his sister. She only shrugged with a smile

"Wish me luck Ernie" He turned to the smallest pair of twins, tickling his stomach, making him squeal. Doris reached out for him from Dans arms. Louis took her from him and kissed her cheek "You'll still like me if I don't win, right Doris?" He cooed, smiling when she took his face in her tiny hands. Dan gave him a hug too, and took Doris back from him when Louis handed her back.

He then turned to look at Harry, his extremely supportive friend, who was dressed in his spare jersey that was a bit tight on him, making him look extremely fit. He liked the idea of Harry having 'Tomlinson' written over his back in big, bold letters, though. Harry enveloped him in a very comforting bear hug. "You got this, blue. Good luck" He whispered into his ear, pecking his cheek quickly. Louis smiled at the familiar nickname, Harry gave it to him when they were kids, because he said he named him after the color of his eyes. He barely calls him that anymore, so it's very special when he does.

"Thanks Hazza" He smiles and picks up his bag, waves at them and walks towards the changing rooms.

He walked onto the field with his team, feeling the adrenaline rushing through his veins, smiling at the cheers coming from the audience. He glanced up to the stands for a second, seeing his family and Harry cheering him on. Niall, Liam and Zayn are sitting by them too. He smiles and waves in their direction before taking his position on the field. 

The opposing team started, but their teammate, Ishmael, skillfully tackled the player with the ball and passed it to Louis, who ran towards the goal with it, passing it back to Ishmael so he could score a goal. The ball hit the top right corner of the net and the whole stadium broke into cheers, all their teammates surrounded them in a hug

Harry's POV

It was half-time, and the match was tied at 2-2. Harry could tell that Louis' team was under a lot of pressure, the other team was playing especially good today "Look at him, he's so whipped he's still concentrating even though it's half time" Niall jokes from behind him. He turns around and pouts "Heyy" The boys got too distracted by the bickering that Lottie had to step in "Shut up, you idiots, the game is about to start" She says loudly. Liam pouts at her and Niall sticks his tongue out childishly before they all turn back to the game.

Harry catches Louis' eye and gives him an encouraging smile. Louis wearily smiles back "You'll do great" Harry mouths to him, not sure if he'd understand.
