Harry was pretty sure he’d never felt as such a lovesick fool as he did today. He had a perfect boyfriend. What else could you ask for? Gemma had teased him endlessly when they had come down for dinner holding hands and both blushing like mad. But he didn’t mind. He was glad she accepted Louis for who he was. Anne had just smiled at the two of them, winking at Harry occasionally when she caught him staring at Louis with a dazed smile on his face.

Actually, Harry was pretty sure he was a lovesick fool.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he realized he must have been staring out the window with a dazed smile. The things Louis did to him…. And he didn’t even know it.

“Haz, you okay?” Niall whispered, nudging him in the arm.

“Yeah, I’m fine”, Harry answered, quickly starting to copy the notes on the board for Louis. Liam, Niall and Zayn had this deal where they all copied notes for Louis with a few subjects. After Harry joined their little group, they had divided the subjects again so Harry also copied notes for Louis.

“Thinking about Lou, weren’t you?”

“Mr Horan, please pay attention”, the female teacher snapped, but her eyes were twinkling. Harry liked Ms Lynch. She could keep the class under control easily, but she wasn’t too strict. Her lessons were fun, but also educational. Niall knew she had a soft spot for him, so he just winked at her whenever she told him to pay attention. Sometimes she scolded him in Irish or gave him an extra assignment, which usually consisted of writing an essay on Ireland, since she taught geography.

Niall didn’t mind too much. Harry didn’t like geography, but it got a lot better when Ms Lynch taught it. Unlike Mr Johnson and most of the teachers, Ms Lynch made sure to include Louis and treat him like she would treat any other student.

“Yes, Ms Lynch”, Niall called out, before turning his attention back to Harry. “Well?”

“Fine, I was thinking about Lou. But he’s my boyfriend, so I’m allowed to do that”, Harry whispered back. “And be quiet or I won’t be able to finish copying the notes.”

“Boyfriend?” Niall squealed and he bounced on his seat. Ms Lynch gave him a look and he sat down quickly. “Boyfriend?” he whispered.

“Yes Ni, boyfriend. You heard it correctly. Now be quiet before Ms Lynch gives me an extra assignment. I want to spend time with Lou after school.”

“When did he become your boyfriend?” Niall didn’t even bother whispering and Ms Lynch turned around.

“Something you’d like to share with us, Mr Horan?”

“No, Ms Lynch, everything’s perfect.”

“Then I’m sure you can answer my question with no difficulties.”

Harry had trouble keeping his laughter under control when Niall’s eyes went wide. “Question, Ms Lynch?”

“Yes, Mr Horan, the one I just asked the class.”

“No idea.”

She smiled. “I figured. Now, please pay attention and save the talks about Mr Styles’ love life for after class. Mr Tomlinson, the answer please?” Zayn translated her question to Louis and he wrote his answer down on a piece of paper, handing it to her. She gave him the thumbs up and he smiled.

The bell rang and Harry packed his stuff, overhearing the conversation between Ms Lynch and Kelsey Grey, some popular girl with too much make-up and a bunch of giggling, annoying friends.
