"Niall, come round mine after school, yeah?" Louis calls to Niall before they enter into their last class of the day.
"Yeah mate!" Niall shouts back.
They enter their separate classrooms at the same time, and Louis is greeted by his teacher, Mrs Collins.
"Afternoon, Mr Tomlinson" She smiles and hands him the worksheet for the class.
"Afternoon Miss" Louis smiles back and takes a seat at his table.
The class goes by quickly, and soon enough, Louis is walking to his car in the lot.
Suddenly, he stumbles over something on the floor. He checks to see what tripped him, only to see a bright pink notebook lying there.
He reaches down and picks it up.
In cursive writing, it reads;
This book belongs to...
Harry Styles.
If this book is lost, and found, please bring it to,
6 Varney Road (completely made up name)

"I know, it was just lying there on the floor." Louis explains to Niall, who is currently sat beside him on Louis' sofa, munching on some crisps.
"Well, I think this is your chance, man" Niall laughs.
"What do you mean 'this is my chance?'" Louis asks.
"I know you have a huge flaming crush on the guy. I see you staring at him during lunch like there's no tomorrow. Come on, you have to ask him out"
"No way Niall. I'm not asking him out. That's a step too far, he doesn't even know me!"
"I'll ask him for you then" Niall says.
"No!" Louis scoffs.
"Well then ask him when you give it to him!"
"Alright, alright. I'll talk to him. And maybe I'll ask him out. Happy now?"
"Mhm. Very happy" Niall smiles.

Louis takes a deep breath and sorts his hair out in the rear view mirror for the tenth time tonight.
"Lou, mate. You look fine, alright? Now go" Niall says to him.
"What if he thinks I'm weird" Louis worries.
"He won't. Don't think like that, just say hi and give him the notebook. Then ask for his number or something." Niall shrugs.
"Okay Louis. You've got this." He hypes himself up.
He steps out of the car and walks up to the front door of Harry's house.
Knock knock knock.
A few seconds fly by until the door is opened.
"Hi? Can I help you?" Harry asks, eyeing the short boy at his doorstep.
"Hey, uh. This is awkward. Right, so I found your notebook. Wait. No. I tripped over your notebook, and it said your address. So here I am, giving it back to you." Louis stutters nervously and hands him the book.
Harry's face visually lights up at the sight of his notebook.
"Thank you! I've been searching everywhere for this!" Harry grins.
"It's no problem. You should take more care of it, love" He doesn't realise the pet name slip.
"Yeah I should. Sorry, what was your name?" Harry asks.
"Oh yeah. M' Louis." He offers his hand out for Harry to shake, which he does. He has a firm, but gentle grip on Louis' hand.
"Nice to meet you, Louis" Harry gives a slight smirk and a wink.
"And you Harry. What's in the book anyway?"
"It's just a few places I'd like to visit and stuff. Like a bucket list I guess. No point in it, really." Harry shrugs.
"There is a point. Sets goals right?"
"Fair enough."
"Alright well I better be going now. My mates waiting in the car." Louis points towards the car to Niall.
"Yeah, sorry I kept you here. Err, can I get your number?" Harry raises an eyebrow in question.
"Yeah, yeah, course." He takes Harry's phone and types in his number.
"Thanks. See you around?" Harry smiles.
"Maybe, curly" Louis squints and walks back to the car.

Louis rolls over in bed for the hundredth time.
He groans and grabs his phone off the nightstand.
12:58 am- the clock reads.
He opens Harry's text and begins to type.
(Btw their names are what they've got saved as eachother on their phones)
-Lou: Hey curly.
-Curly: Hey? Why you up at this time. It's late. -H
-Lou: Cant sleep.
-Curly: so you thought you would message me instead of shutting your eyes? -H
-Lou: Yep, that's right. So you gonna tell me why your awake too?
-Curly: Was revising like the good student I am:) -H
-Lou: Wow, I'm impressed.
-Curly: Try get to sleep now, yeah? Don't want you to be tired for school tomorrow. -H
-Lou: Ill only sleep if you go out with me? ;)
-Curly: Cheeky bugger aren't ya? Alright, I'll go out with you. I was gonna ask you tomorrow, but you beat me to it. -H
-Lou: Yes! Gn H x
-Curly: Night Lou, sleep well x

After their first date, they bonded pretty well. At the current time they've been dating for 2 months, and are still going strong.

Louis sniffs and keeps his head on the lunch table. Niall sat opposite trying to calm him and his thoughts down, but not succeeding.
"Louis, mate, it's alright yeah? You can ask them again?" Niall tries, but gets no response from Louis.
Niall spots Harry coming over to sit with them, so he mouths to him 'he's crying'.
"Lou? Baby what's wrong?" Harry asks and takes a seat next to him.
Louis huffs in response.
"Alright. I'm gonna need you to talk if you want me to help, yeah?" Harry says gently and turns Louis in his seat so he's facing him. He smoothes his fingers under Louis' eyes and wipes his tears.
"Talk to me, love. What's happened hmm?"
"They wouldn't let me onto the team." He grumbles.
"What team, Hun?"
"Football." Louis sighs.
"How come?"
"They said that apparently because exams are coming up, I can't."
"That doesn't make sense. Practice is after school like a club right?" Louis nods, "Then you should be able to go." Harry says.
"Exaclty!" Louis throws out his arms.
"Alright, I'll have a chat with the coach, ok?" Harry pecks Louis' lips.
"Thanks Haz"
