Letters (Larry AU)

1. Balloons and new friends

Chapter one

As I left the classroom, I felt a pat on my shoulder. I flipped around to face some random girl. I think her name was Taylor.

"Hey, Harry", she said in a squeaky voice, absolute turn off.

"Taylor, right?", I checked her out, only to see fake boobs and no ass.

"Oh god. You know my name!", she cheeped in... uhm... excitement? Yeah excitement.

I hate the fact that girls just go crazy over me. It's not that I'm famous. I'm just an ordinary kid who works in a bakery and sings in the schools band. Nothing special, right?

"So basically, uhm, Taylor, what do you want?", I furrowed my brows and turned around to walk to my next class.

She followed me.

"You know we have to do this project with the letters and the balloons for tomorrow and I wanted to ask you if you'd like to meet up and work with me.", she said in only one breath.

"Wow, chill. Breathe, girl", my eyes widened as I watched her inhale deep. Why is she so nervous? I've only seen her about twice in my whole lifetime.

I didn't want to go and meet this girl and as I know if I'd go and meet her we wouldn't end up studying.

"I haven't got time", I turned around and walked away quickly. She tried to catch up with me, but she was wearing high heels and her legs weren't as long as mine.

I fiddled with the lock of my locker and swung the door open. After I had grabbed my stuff, I made my way through the long halls towards my next class.

"Hi, Harry", my friend Niall said. "Hey, mate", I fist bumped him and put my books next to his.

If you look at Niall and I, you wouldn't think he hang out together. He's blond, blue-eyed and has always got a smile plastered onto his face. I've got dark curls, I dress dark, I kind of seem dark. The only think that isn't that dark about my appearance are my eyes, I've got bright green eyes.

"So I heard you bugged the shit out of Ms. Brien?", he said in his thick irish accent.

I grinned. So my success over the witch has already been turned into gossip, that got about in the halls.

"I'll say your grin confirms this rumour.", he now smiled cheekily too.

After our last lesson I quickly grabbed my bag and found my way trough the huge crowd in front of the building.

"Hey, uhm Harry, right?", a young lad with brown hair asked me. I nodded. He was in Ms. Brien's class too. "I'm Liam, we both visit Ms. Brien's class", he smiled shyly. I nodded again: "I know" "Maybe we should go to my place and do our new project?" I nodded in response and followed him to a car.

"Harry, Harry!", I heard an irish accent shout behind me.

"Niall, what's up?", I flipped my head over my shoulder and looked back. Niall rambled pass some random pupils and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Let's go hang out at... Wait, who's that?", he pointed towards Liam.

"That's Liam we'll work together on our project for Ms. Brien.", I nodded at Liam and sent him a smile.

"Oh, ok I guess I'll see you tomorrow", Niall started walking off.

"You can come with us, only if you'd like to of course.", Liam blinked at the ground sheepishly.

"Uhm, sure", for some unknown reason Niall blushed and looked at the ground too.

After some awkward silence, we all got into the car and went to Liam's place.

I stepped into his living room and put my bag next on the floor next to some cupboard.

Liam spread his stuff all over the table in the middle of the room and Niall walked to the fridge shamelessly.

When Niall came back with some kind of yogurt, Liam slightly chuckled and Niall blushed again.

I sat down and started writing the letter to this stranger, who will get the balloon.

Dear...

No not a good start. I crossed it out.

Here's Harry!

Yeah that sounds good.

Here's Harry!

And you just got involved in a school project

That sounds kind of corny.

Here's Harry!

I'm just a guy who's sending away balloons for a school project. Yeah casual.

"That's good", Liam peered onto my sheet.

I nodded and continued writing.

Here's Harry!

I'm just a guy who's sending away balloons for a school project. Yeah casual.

The project is all about communication and friendship without prejudice and caring about outwardness.

So and as you can read this you must've gotten the balloon.

Please give me an answer.

Yours sincerely, Harry Styles

I put my address underneath my signature, tucked it all into an envelope and pushed it into the back pocket of my jeans.

"You're done too?", I asked Liam and he nodded.

Niall sitting on the couch caught my sight. He was watching Liam. It was like he adored every single movement he does.

It was seven thirty.

"Niall, we have to leave", I tore Niall out of his trance and waved Liam a good bye. "See you!", he smiled and we grinned back.

I think I've got a new friend.

A/N: just to get some thing clear:

I'm not a native English speaker or however you call it, so don't judge me for spelling mistakes, wrong word orders and grammatical errors.

Like I said in the first part if this fanfic: I'll update at least once a week and if I don't I'll tell you.

I really hope you like my work!

Feedback please?

Muuch love xx

PS: this chapter is no hate against Taylor Swift! I just needed a name and she and her look was perfect for this part.
