Becoming Me - Larry Stylinson

Gossip

Hey! This took forever to update, school and life got in the way. Hope this chapter is okay! By the way, for the purpose of this story, Harry and Louis are both around 18 – Harry is older, their birthdays are the same, but they are born in the same year, making Harry nearly a full year older. Enjoy!

I practically ran to my car after school; I was meeting Jessica at Starbucks after school and I was excited. I hadn't seen Harry for the rest of the day after Drama, and I was dying to gossip about him; I just hope he's gay.

I pulled out my phone once I got in and sent a quick text to Jess;

'Hey Sweets! Just leaving school now; see you in a bit! Mwah!'

I got her reply just as I was pulling into Starbucks, I didn't even bother reading it.

"Your queen is here!" I exclaimed as I entered the shop. I heard Jessica giggle from one of the back booths and headed over there. She was there, waving her hands wildly in the air to get me attention. With a laugh I sat opposite her, and I didn't even say hi.

"Oh my god did you see him?!"

Jess looked at me oddly for a minute.

"Who?" Guess she hadn't seen him then.

"The new guy!!"

"We have a new guy!?"

"Yes! And he is SO attractive!"

"Ooh! Has Louis got a crush?!" She laughed, sending me a wink.

"Honestly, hell yes I do! I have never seen such a beautiful human being before!" Amusement was clear on Jess's face, and she squealed. "And he plays guitar!"

"Oh my god! Really?!" I nodded, holding in the scream I could feel building in my throat. "Oh Louis I know how much you dig musicians!" I fanned my face, feeling the familiar heat of a blush spread through my cheeks. I lowered my voice, so I was no longer squealing.

"Guess the best part!" I watched her expectantly, and laughed as her face scrunched in thought. She shook her head after a minute.

"I don't know, what's the best part?"

"He didn't seem bothered by my clothes!" most guys I meet at least give me a look, one that clearly says that they don't get it.

"Aww! He totally likes you!" I flushed again.

"Ugh, I bet not after the way I acted in front of him!" Jess narrowed in on the gossip.

"Tell me everything!"

"Well, he's in my Drama class, by the way I glared at Miss Reynolds for the first time ever cause she was so rude to him." Jess raised her eyebrows. "She told him to sit next to me, so I put my hand up and he came over and sat down and said hi, then I said hi. I was disappointed that I couldn't think of anything better to say, so I face palmed myself...in real life." Jess laughed. I glared at her. "It was embarrassing! He didn't say anything but he must think I'm crazy!"

"Okay, okay, what happened next?"

"He asked if I was okay, introduced himself and put his hand out for a handshake, you know I don't do handshakes," Jess nodded. "So I...told him my name and kissed him cheek...then turned back to my work." I could feel my cheeks flaming, it really was so embarrassing.

"Oh my god Louis! That's PERFECT!" wait what?

"Perfect? I hit myself in the face!"

"You were yourself! And alluring! I'll bet he hasn't been able to stop thinking about you all day!"
