"Harry. Harry baby wake up, it's time for school!" Anne said, waking her son. Harry brought his small fists up to rub his eyes as he sat up in bed. "You wouldn't want to miss your first day of second grade would you?" Anne said and smiled. "Of course not mum." Harry said and stood up. "Louis is waiting downstairs, I'll see you when you're ready." Anne said and left Harry's room. Harry quickly got dressed, and rushed downstairs to see his best friend, Louis Tomlinson. Louis was a year older than Harry, he was starting third grade this year. "Hazza!" Louis said with a big smile on his face as Harry walked into the kitchen. "Hey Lou!" Harry grinned. Anne set two plates down in front of the boys, with scrambled eggs and bacon. "Thanks mum." Harry said, and started eating. "Yeah thanks." Louis said and joined Harry.
The young boys finished their breakfast quickly and got their backpacks on. "Bye mum, I'll see you after school!" Harry said. "Bye baby, have a good day!" Harry's mum called after him as he walked out the front door with Louis. They lived in a really safe neighborhood, and the school was only two blocks away. Everyone walked to school. Harry and Louis held hands as they walked down the sidewalk. "Are you excited for second grade?" Louis asked Harry. "Yeah. Was second grade hard?" Harry asked him. "Nah not really. It was easy for me and I bet it'll be easy for you too." Louis said and smiled. The boys talked the whole walk, about school and what they each did last night.
Harry and Louis reached the school, and Louis walked Harry to his classroom. "Thanks Lou, I'll see you later." Harry said and smiled. "See ya later Hazza!" Louis said, squeezed Harry's hand and pecked his forehead before he left. Harry waved after him until he couldn't see him anymore. Harry unpacked his bookbag, and found his cubby. He placed his bag there, and looked for his desk. He found it, and put down his pencil case and notebook down on top of it. "Hello class, I'm Mrs. Lee, and I'm your second grade teacher. I look forward to a great year with you guys!" a woman with straight brown hair and brown eyes said, looking around. "Let's start today off by introducing ourselves, let's go around the room." Mrs. Lee said. Harry was sat in the third row, and it wasn't soon until he was up. "Hi.. um. My name is Harry Styles.. My favorite color is orange, my favorite food is tacos and my favorite person in the world is my best friend, Louis." Harry said, looking around the room. "Ah, so you're Harry! Louis told me all about you last year, lovely to meet you." Mrs. Lee said. "Lou talked about me? Nice to meet you too." Harry said and smiled. The rest of the class introduced themselves, and then the class was free to draw or play with the toys in the room.
Harry got a pencil and opened his notebook. He pictured Louis in his head, and drew the outline of his face from memory. He drew his hair, and his eyes, nose and mouth. He also drew Lou's signature striped shirt. Harry colored in the picture, and made sure Louis' eyes were the perfect shade of blue. "That's lovely." Mrs. Lee said, and Harry turned to see the teacher looking down at his book. "Thank you." Harry said, and smiled down at his picture. "Would you like me to hang it on the wall?" Mrs. Lee asked. Harry shook his head. "I wanna give it to Louis." Harry said. "You two must be great friends, huh? Louis always talked about you, nonstop." Mrs. Lee said. "Yeah, we're the best of friends. I love him." Harry said. "And I bet he loves you. Actually, he had a conversation with me about how much he loves you. Louis didn't pay much attention in class, and everytime I asked what was up he said he was thinking of you." Mrs. Lee said. "Really? I think about him a lot, too. He's the best. He comes to my house a lot in the morning, sometimes I go over to his house. And we eat breakfast together, and we walk to school together. And he even walks me to my class. He walked me there last year, and he did today, too. We held hands the whole way here, and then he squeezed my hand and kissed my head before he left. I waved the whole time he was walking away. He always shares stuff with me too. One time, the ice cream truck only had one popsicle left and Lou shared it with me. He really is amazing." Harry said, staring at the wall. "That's very sweet. Harry, you might not understand this yet because you're so young. But do you ever think of Louis as more than a best friend?" Mrs. Lee asked. Harry's cheeks turned a little red, and he replied. "I- I don't know... Why? Is it bad if I ever do?" Harry asked. "No, no of course it's not bad. Not bad at all. I was just wondering. I'll leave you to your drawing." Mrs. Lee said and walked away. Harry kept thinking, though. Maybe he did think of Louis as more. Harry watched Titanic with Louis many times, maybe sometimes he did think about them being like Jack and Rose, but two boys instead of a girl. Harry looked back down to his book and flipped the page and started a new drawing. He drew Louis first, and then he drew himself next to Louis. They were holding hands, too. Harry smiled down at his drawing as he colored it in. Harry never really thought about love, or liking someone. He knew he loved Louis, but he didn't realize he love, loved Louis.
