The Beauty of Anonymity

Chapter 2

Harry woke with a start as his alarm alerted him to the time. Groaning, he sat up and shut the darn thing off. He immediately picked up his laptop to see if anyone had read his story. He saw two comments and a vote.

from proudwarrior: OMG, I love it! Please update soon?

from StripesEqualLove: The idea has a sound basis and has a lot of potential :)

Can’t wait for the next chapter ;)

Harry quickly replied to proudwarrior.

to proudwarrior: Thanks! And I’ll try to update later today :)

Harry thought for a moment how to reply to StripesEqualLove.

to StripesEqualLove: Thanks so much! That means a lot and I plan to post the next chapter soon, but I have school first.

Harry started chapter three, happy that his story already had so much positive feedback. Harry looked up as he saw he had a new email. He clicked on it and felt himself smile again as he read the message.

from StripesEqualLove: Great, mate. I have school too. See ya next update ;)

Harry returned to the story, eager to finish the chapter and talk to StripesEqualLove. Okay... so maybe he was a major fanboy.

School started happily with Harry and Louis pulling out their computers and laughing at themselves for doing so, knowing that neither was doing school work. After the first thirty minutes, Harry was turned away from his computer by Louis tapping at him.

“Yeah?” Harry asked lightly.

“I was just wondering if you wanted to talk. We’re allowed to do so in this class.”

“Yeah, sure, mate. What is it?”

“Hmmm... well, we hardly know anything about each other! So you ask me a question, I’ll answer and as you a question. Fair enough?” Louis said.

“Sure. What’s your favorite color?”

“Red.” Louis replied smiling.

“What’s your favorite movie?” Harry blushed slightly.

“Love Actually. Well, that or Titanic, but I always cry when I see The Titanic.”

“Me too.” Louis said.

“Ok, what’s your favorite book?” For the rest of the period, the two learned all about each other, but neither talked about their writing or even mentioned Wattpad.

Very soon, the period was over and they had to go to Maths *insert sigh here*, but neither was too upset. Harry and Louis walked to class together and smiled as they were told to work on the assignment together. After much confusion, the two had successfully managed at least an A on the paper and were satisfied with their work. Science consisted of taking notes, notes, and more notes. Theatre once again was practicing for their scene on Friday, meaning they had that day and two more before they had to present. Their scene, a scene from Grease funnily enough, was going smoothly. Despite their joking attitudes, the two got along perfectly and had managed to learn the first half and practice it really well. Mr. Harris was pleasantly surprised at the two and was happy that they were getting along so well and taking Theatre semi-seriously unlike some students. Speaking of-

“Hey, put that chair down, Steve!” Mr. Harris shouted. Harry and Louis simply laughed and continued practicing. After theatre was over, both happily walked over to lunch with Liam and Niall who were smiling and conversing with each other.

“Hey, guys, what does everyone think of hanging out Friday afternoon? Show Harry how we really are.” Louis said, pretending to have fangs and pulling his backpack in front of  him, trying to make it look like a cape.
